Hello. I am making a new game and i need some help. I am no good at making the graphics for it, and I need a composer, and possibly a scripter. I have planned part of the game, but cannot start without graphics. All credit for whatever job done will be given credit for. Please reply with examples, and the job wanted. Thank you.

I'd recommend posting more details about your game idea before asking for more help. A short/sweet summary of what it's going to be about, what sorts of characters and environments you want to use, the gameplay style, the overall mood of the game (sounds grim just by the title), et cetera.

I suppose you were going to reveal this stuff anyway to whoever signs up for a job, but some folks like me can't sign up for anything nondescript.
(I probably won't anyway since this is a busy time of year)

You could make bad placeholder graphics first and then let them being reworked later (though it might be hard for something like map design) and use ripped music until you find some composer. For scripting you could just ask on the forum if you get stuck somewhere.

That way you can make you can start making your game on your own first and when you have some good result you can show it and if you get people to think "Man this game would be really good if it had better graphics and original music" it's much easier to create a team for finishing the project.

thanks for your suggestions. I will post the descriptions later. I also plan on scanning some character sketches. I can't create sprites that well, but at least i can draw...

This is a very handy tutorial if you want to get better at spriting yourself, at the least, your placeholders will be readable, I'm rather busy around this time of the year but come may/june time I'm free to do some spriting work if you still need one by then, gimme some ideas on some tracks and I'll see (but no promises) that I can conjure something up.

Okay, so main plot:

The world in the future has been taken over by a man named Xeron, who, in the party's time, opened the Shadow Soul and absorbed its power, becoming an unstoppable force. A Woman from the future has come back to the party's time to choose heros to stop this menace. As you chase him through the lands, you help others along the way and meet new friends. You learn new powers, and it all culminates in an epic battle for the future against Xeron.

Gameplay is mostly the default for OHRRPGCE. The mood is adventure, but it is also quite grim, as towns are destroyed as you move along in the game.

I will post character designs later.

Yeah, I can help out with maptiles(some not all)and I'm fine with working with multiple people on one project.
