Pokémon Mystery Dungeon MMORPG

Game Summary
This will be a MMORPG base on the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon franchise. All artwork will be from the DS versions of the game. The game mechanics will work similarly to the original games; players will start with a personality quiz which will help decide which Pokemon they are. Once that has been settled each player will begin to form a team with other players online. These team will grow and change over time. Your team will work together to complete missions, find object, and help other groups. The world will be based on the different places presented in the original games, but will be constantly expanding.

Project Description
The game will be coded in Java. I picked Java because it is easy to learn, and works in web browsers, as well as on almost any computer. This will help future proof the game, and make it compatible with anyone's computer who wishes to play.

Project Lead
prnoct90 (Paul Newell)

About Me
I have been doing graphic design for almost 4 years, and have worked with Java a little. I plan to constantly study Java as the project progresses. I know very little about hacking games to get audio and graphics out. So we will need people fully experienced in this.

Hey! I was browsing this forum and noticed there are some skilled pixelists that could most likely assist me with my game. It's a dragonball game, completely original, programming, art, even the idea's are unique and innovative.

This is an ad I posted on BYOND (a game developer site), quite outdated but it represents the game.

The game will have a massive Universe, filled with NPC civilizations that will have advanced AI, and serve many purposes in the game. Planetary leaders will be able to control their civilization, and the options will be near enough limitless, slavery, development of militia, mining camps to gain resources, or just the average civilization with a mix, the options will be as open to the person creativity. Other unique aspects such as planetary effects, for example- a freezing cold planet would give a boost to endurance gain but increase the risk of injuries (yes!) and KI drain. Not only will they affect training, planets will have a variety of minerals that can be used to build technology, each planet will have a different amount in each time, meaning they can trade with other planets or conquer them through the war system.

Bored of hitting the P-bag on Anime games? This game will have a very fun training system, missions will be encoroprated, you can do tasks for your civilization to gain an increase in experience which will be used on the skill-tree to unlock traits and customize new skills (these skills will have an enormous range of possibilities, so again, creativity is key). AFK training will not be possible, eliminating any possible abuse from players. A random mission would be something like a stay Saibamen killing off the slave workers down in the Saiyan mines, and it is your task to exterminate the threat. Once it is dead, the Saiyan would recieve a power bonus, experience bonus, and some money, the harder the task, the larger the bonuses. As for the combat system, it will have a lock-on feature and players will utilize various combo's to pull of their attacks, which will be very fun and invigorating, majority of KI attacks will be directed by the mouse for fluid motion.

This is only a small bit about the project, I am sure many other aspects will be just as interesting, which you can always ask me about if you join. As a member, you will be continously updated and considered a key part of our team, just like everyone else.

Now, to show you that progress is actually being made and this project isn't merely hype-


Some of the art
dbeart.png

dbeart2.png

The backround log-in screen
dbzunfinsushed3.png


Much more has been done then this, about 200 icons and a great deal of code, in merely two or so weeks.

What I need from you-
You will need to work at a moderate pace, actually get assigned work done in a realistic amount of time. I don't expect you to keep up with me, as one of the owners, I will be putting full effort into this. I do however want you to pride yourself in your work, and the game that you are helping create. You will need a decent amount of skill, we are not interested in training pixelists, we want someone that can provide good work for our high quality game.

What am I looking for-
I do not mind what type of pixelist you are, be it a turf artist, creating buildings, GFX, techniques, whatever, all I ask is that you are good at what you do. However, someone with a range of skills would be great.

What do you recieve-
I do not know what is better then helping to create a fresh game on BYOND, I see so many horrible rips that plague this section, you will help give the section a better name along with the other titles. And, of course, full credit for your work, you will become a long-term member, one of the founders of this game. Your art will be mixed with other high-quality work and beautiful gameplay, a pleasure to see. Finally, as one of the people that help bring the game to life, you will be given an administration role, I feel it is best that the creators of the game tend to all of it's matters. Although, pixelling is very different from being an admin, and if you abuse your power, it is only right that we remove you. I do believe anyone of a decent maturity (which we are looking for) should be able to handle an administration role with no trouble, but this is not always the case. Other future games that will not be anime based will be profitable, and believe me, a good profit, my friend made 9k out of his game and you will recieve a good share as part of our team, if you help us develop such a future game.

Team name: Victory Road Productions

Current Game title: Pokemon Spirit Chronicles

Current progress made: Quite a bit, but not where it really counts.

Position(s) needed: Programmers and spriters, mainly, but artists, composers, and writers are welcome too.

Timezone: Doesn't matter, our current staff is all over the world.

Additional info: Pokemon Spirit Chronicles is a Pokemon fangame that takes the world of Pokemon in a different direction. In the style of JRPG's like Final Fantasy or Breath of Fire, Pokemon Spirit Chronicles will feature a massive, character-driven storyline that spans the entire world. Your decisions will even shape the world in some ways.

PSC is set in a more medieval time period, where Pokemon still roam free, but the technology to capture them in the traditional way has yet to be invented. Instead, people can use mystical orbs to capture the spirit of a Pokemon. These spirits can be forged into weapons and armor for your party to use, allowing near limitless customization for your characters.

Preferred Method of contact: Check the forum link in my signature.
You can fill out a volunteer application form (in the Volunteer section) and we'll get back to you quickly.

If you have any questions, you can ask us on our forum or send me a PM.

The candidate should be good at doing pixel overs and at drawing various pixelated images and doing multiple frames so they animate.
Scratch-Spriter - This will only focus on the person doing two frames that could be used for animation from scratch. These scratch sprites will only be of the legendary Pokemon so the candidate should be able to present me with some good scratch work.

I'm creating a Pokémon game, been workin on it a while now, well, when i have time to, between work etc.

Im a 1-man-army, there is only so much u can do by yourself and i would like to know if anyone has or can make, all Johto Maps, all Hoenn Maps and all Sinnoh Maps for RPG Maker XP, Ive Done Kanto and Orange Islands, the maps you create do not need any Events, i do them a specific way, but, any help will be credited and apprechiated, any other things you help with will be credited also, if enough people want to help and know about this game, i will post screenies of it and progress reports etc. until then, no point is there really?! (Which is why im keeping this simple.)

Any help is welcome!

Im trying to do every map from scratch, but im no spriter, i have no idea how to draw people, Pokémon, buildings or tilesets... I'm using, literally, what came with the starter kit and what was already on my pc (i started this project about a year ago, but dissowned it when i moved house, so tbh, i have no idea who i have to credit for anything i have so far, so sorry about that! but im sure you would recognise your work.)

For more information on what i want/need for this project, And, to help out, please PM me

To sum it up, i need:

MAPPERS
&
SPRITERS
