I need help making a game I'll give credit where it's do and if it gets to commercial quality then you'd get the cash that wht you did is worth.

I need:

battle gfx: male and female; human elf dwarf dark elf half-wolf and half-fox half-bat; all of those in the forms of: knight, thief, black/white/red mages, summoner, samurai, ninja, dragoon, berserker

music: any would be nice

walkabout gfx: all those listed in the battle gfx, an old man/woman, some soldiers, you know the whoe village people and all that crap sort of thing.

anything else you can think of.

the game will be very long and when I get about 10-20% done I'll release a demo.

OH and attack gfx: basic fire and crap so as to get that out of the way I'll do summons and specials myself.

and tiles! all kinds of tiles mail me if you want to help and I'll tell you what I want.

oh and if someone sends m somthing I'll actually use then I'd like tha person exclusively t do that stuff for the sake of consistancy so, let's say person1 sends me in a dragoon with a black outline and I use it then if person2 sends me a red mage with more a realistic lok than an anime look then I'll have to use the ones with the black outline.

ok so that noone sends me smething I won't use I'll list what I'm lookingfor:

anime style look to the characters

black outlines

atleast 3 shades

NOT holding a weapon

not too smal but not too big a human or half-wolf kinda thing should tak about or the whole box(height) and a dwarf should take less making it seem more well...dwarven

CONSISTANCY if u make a dragoon and i use it then the walkabout should be similar...

BUT beggars can't be choosers so if someone sends in something good then I'll probably make it so it stays consistant with all the others.

Uh... I suggest you also explain what the game is like seeing as the number of games that never get finished is amazing and I know personally I wouldn't want to spend time doing graphics for a game that may never see the light of day.

ok I guess noone really wants to help I guess it'd be better if I put in some of the storyline maybe someone will get interested-

basic outline of the story: you are the son of a great samurai, the one who sealed Damien(kinda like satan) the black hand in hell. but it's 16 years later and you are 18, your father was killed by Damiens minions after sealing him. your mother died 6 years after you were born.

You live in a small town on an island. when you wake up you take your belongings and step outside you look at your mothers grave and think to yourself: I'm 18 now, I should go to the palace and follow in fathers footsteps to honor them both...

you then set off toward the castle...
everything seems fine untl you get inside...
soldier: AHH!!! oh, you're not one of them good...
you:what?
soldier:nevermind I haven't the time to explain...just let me join you.
you:uhhh...ok?

when you go into the castle everyone is dead and their spirits attack you.
some seem to be like zombies and skeletons...

you see symbols on floor that seem to glow and you realize that they are using energy from the spirits...but what for?

when you get to the throne room you see the chancellor pointing his sword at the king threatening him...

after some verbal abuse on the chancellor's person from the soldier the fight starts. you defeat the chacellor and after the fight he says that he was using the spirits to break the seal that holds Damien in hell. this angers yu and the soldier both. after talking to the king he says you can have one of his dragons and that he wants you to go and become stronger and meet new allies. he then explains that you have to go through a tunnel made by the people of his kingdom that went through a mountainside which also was a small dwarven town, to get to the dragon roost where you could then get a dragon and go to the next set of islands, you have restricted movement with it do to a mountain range surrounding the continent which surrounds the island chain you come from.

the story developes from then and you fight others trying to break your father's seal. toward the end of the game you have to get the elemental crests and use them so you can seal Damien back to hell because he is freed by a man who is made into a demon by Damien and after getting the crests which are guarded by crest guardians and when you get to the temples...well, let's just say you get a visit from a certain demon and his little "friends"

I'm not really any good at making graphics, but if you can give me an example to go off of, I could try... and as for the storyline, it sounds interesting... I could help with that if there's anything that needs help with on it. (I fancy myself a novelist, even though I haven't published anything yet. Still revising my book. Over and over and over...I keep finding things I want to change, or add more detail to, or a spelling error, or what not. I'm glad I'm in the age of computers Ha ha ha!

) Eh, anyways, that's about all. Contact me if you'd like my help Happy

Some good music is found in my Final Fantasy Bams download on the gamelist. It has a really good victory music.

Of course, it's Final Fantasy music (I assume), so it's going to be "ripped" music, and everyone uses FF's tunes . . .
But the storyline sounds quite good so far, Razor. Even though some folks 'round here might discourage it (it is, after all, a "typical" RPG story), you have actually thought it out and written it down, which gives you a great advantage over many people who try to make games and make the story up as they go. Kudos to you for actually planning your game.
Of course, I can't really help much, since my graphics kinda suck . . . sorry.

Um, Razor, you haven't an icecube's chance in hell of selling an ohr game. If you want to make money form game design, learn c/c++ and program your own engine.
No-body is going to give you all those graphics. What you should do is find another newbie who is acceptable at pixel art and make a game together. It would be much more productive.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. Usually, only if you are a well known OHR member working on a very serious project will you be able to enlist other members for graphics, etc. Even THEN its tough.

Don't give up, though. Find someone willing to help you (or do the grfx yourself) and MAKE THE GAME!

well, I'm not exactly a n00b because I have used the OHR for quite some time and tho mostly screwing around I did actually make 1 game and I can do all the stuff except the graphics don't look that great...I do realize that noone would really buy an OHR game it was just wishful thinking...I got a similar comment on the Zantetsuken forums once

as the graphics if anyone wants to help...I want them to look like OHR versions of the final fantasy tactics characters...altho I think the best OHR graphics I've seen was in FFH especialy the anthros and elves...I can draw pretty good...but that doesn't help at all for making OHR graphics...

and if anyone does decide to help the samurai should be in a gi not armor I just think it looks better...

I've had this idea for quite some time and the storyline is almost fully-developed for the first one and I have a basic idea for the next two...even tho I HATE sequals...any help would be appreciated

...I guess I could try making my own graphics...altho I don't tink they'll turn out that great...I guess'll make as best I can for now and then, when the game is done,which'l take forever, if noone helps by then I'll ty to make some really good ones but...that'll take a while for me to do so look for --Chronicles of the Dark Hand-- (Damien's Revial) around this time two years from now...

Pissed off!

DAMN TYPOS!!!

A game can still be great even if it has iffy graphics. The Query games and Walthros are good examples of this, so check them out.

I agree with you on that it's just that I was gonna try to make it so you would hire amercenary and after like 30 minutes or so he'd leave but it'd save his stats so you could hire him again and he'd be just as you left him...that and I was playing Final Fantasy Tactics and now I want a tactics like battl system and class system...but that would require one hell of a plotscript to do...
