(short for portal dæmons: the game, the most "wip" title in history) HELLO YES HMMM here we are again with me attempting to make a game, except i've actually got progress this time i'll basically just kill myself if i drop it again.
the game's being really loosely based on my third novel, specifically the second half of it since that's where all the action is. incidentally, that's totally irrelevant to everyone reading this since no one's even read the damned thing.
the game is being made on RPG Maker VX Ace, one of many small investments i've made lately to try and provide myself with additional reason to get through with this.
the aforementioned progress is really just fundamental things before i can at least put a playable test version for criticisms of balancing, systems, etc. i already have the combat system set up, music chosen and implemented, and most of the skills and items ready. all that's really left are some more sprites, icons, and portrait arts.
as it stands, what i've got isn't really much to look at, just a simple test level:
i'll probably at least have the last fully necessary portrait done by tomorrow, so who knows, maybe i'll even be ready to put it out for opinions soon.
what i really need are competent sprite artists that would be willing to do the character and monster sprites for the field, since right now i'm just stuck using the cute little defaults that VXA comes with. i friggn' blow at sprite art (probably evident in Belle's horns in her field sprites in the above screenshots), but at least my item icons are okay considering i have to work with a 24x24 canvas, but i know won't be able to do decent characters. as such, i'd like anyone willing help me out there to please shoot me a pm whenever they can. i won't sugar coat it: you'd be working for nothing but a little recognition alongside me whenever this is done (or a lot of recognition; we'll see what happens), so i don't recommend going for it unless you really like spriting and would be happy for the opportunity to have something to do.
till then, please give me any general suggestions you might have simply off the top of your head: cool rpg mechanics, criticisms off what you see here, and anything else that tickles your fancy and/or your peen.
don't do it for me, do it for the cute vectored anime ladies
