Looking for a team of enthusiastic hackers - any takers?
Hack Name: Pokémon Obsidian (working title, subject to change)
Hack of: Pokémon Fire Red
Finished percentage: .001% (Only very preliminary story-boarding has been done thus far. The actual hacking has not been started.)
My hacking skills: My hacking skills are very limited. I've tried a bit of everything, and I'm probably sub-par, at best.
What help or skill I'm looking for:
I'm looking for people who can do it all. This will be a hack of Fire Red, but I plan to give it a complete overhaul. There will hopefully be no resemblance of Fire Red when it's all said and done.
I need individuals skilled in creative writing and such who can help me with fine-tuning an exceptional story and plot for the game. The basic story is all put into place, but it's merely a rough draft at this point. I need people who can help me refine it.
I also need those skilled in creating/editing sprites. Given the preliminary ideas for the plot, there is going to be lots of room for creativity for those involved in creating sprites.
In addition to the aesthetics of the game, I need those who can handle all of the "inner workings" of the game. I'm not savvy with the technical jargon/lingo, but I need those who can alter the way characters behave, move, talk, etc. Hopefully, you know what I mean.
I also need someone who can edit maps. If there is one area of rom "hacking" where my abilities are particularly lacking, it is map editing.
Also, while this isn't an absolute necessity, I would like the game to contain original music. So, if anyone is musically inclined and would like to give that a go, you are more than welcome.
If you are at all interested in joining what could possibly be a massive collaborative effort to make an exceptional game, please send me a PM here on the site. I don't care about how much experience you have, just your ability. Once we get a solid team together, we'll probably eventually engage in collaborative meetings via instant message (we'll cross those bridges when we come to them).
