Hey guys. I guess this is the proper place for this thread.
In Thonis' thread, due to the half-assed discussions on the existence of how an "incel game" would work, I, being the sperg that I am, said
SCRuler said:
Personally I would like a game where a group of kiwis with a trace of the 'tism combats all the forces of the dark side of spergdom. Set in an inverse world where their incompetency and level of patheticness is somehow a strength. You could have the Dark Land of Incel, the Iron Genderfluid Tribe of Tumblristas, the Trans Bicycle Republic of Hoovya, etc.
Hell if anyone wants to get started on the sprites and the writing, I can start work using one of the Rpg makers.

Fascinatingly enough, Sanae Kochiya approached me asking "Were you serious about making that lulzy video game in RPG maker?" and offered her services as writer.
Personally I was fucking enthused, and after some deliberation, I decided to make this thread at Sanae's behest, basically saying "I dont know but if you ask around you might find people with the required skills".

So yeah, I have RPG Maker 2003 and VX, (VX is probably the best to use unless you guys want battle sprites and a really retro style) and if I can get the people who would do sprites and perhaps tilesets and stuff, along with an additional writer (having two of each is probably the best tactic for a small team to make this, including someone else with the RPG maker program we decide to use and with a decent enough team that can both provide the content and give me the kick in the ass necessary to keep going with it we can make a magical world where we fight the dark side of spergdom, contain Keter Class levels of 'Tism, and save the world. Granted, I'd like to have a teensy bit of influence, but I am not going to override just because I have the RPG maker program. I've tried and failed to make good stuff. I'm not that good. I'm best at following directions. Always have been.

So here's what I'd like:

Those who have the necessary and exceptional skills (good way) in
-Writing (We have Sanae Kochiya already, one more wouldn't hurt so you guys can fire ideas all about)
-Sprite and tileset making (as many as we can get if possible. We first have to develop the aesthetics of style and environment with the writer(s), and then you guys make it.) THIS IS RIGHT NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE NEED.
-Another person who can use RPG Maker (whichever one we decide to use)
-If need be, a composer. Hell, if it's possible, maybe even voice actors if we can support it.

Keep in mind you guys probably won't be paid unless we get a patreon together or something and the fellow Kiwis and anyone else who is of interest dispenses. If someone's good at financing and getting others to fund things, you can join in to do that. If we can't get that done, it's gonna be a labor of love.

So who's up for it?

If my RPGMaker skills were more than just basic I would help. Seems interesting though.
 
I made a half assed TRPG based on lolcows.
Also, I would like to help, if I can.

both of you offering your help is appreciated. RPGMaker is at it's core, rather basic, you just gotta get used to the UI but there's also a coding language (Ruby) for deeper shit. I dont fucking know anything about it, but I can find a means to do certain things as there's a large enough user base that can do things with it and have already done stuff.
 
I have been using it since 95, I am familiar with the basics.
 
I can't really help, but I'd totally be up for playing such a thing.

...I got RPG maker in a sale once, and I've not used it, so I'm no use in that regard.

Excellent. If you're willing, we could use you.
Now all we need is the art people.
Whoever amongst you knows anyone who can do pixel-art and stuff, and if they'd be into such a project, fetch them plz.
 
I would love to help, but I am funneling too much of my spare time into this site already. ;)

However, here a few ideas:
- Somewhere along the line Christine Weston Chandler needs to be kidnapped by a giant, blue armed monster - the following boss fight is a Donkey Kong homage.
- There needs to be a place named "The Mountains of Apathy", ruled by a lethargic yet choleric blue bear.
- The "Wicked Wu of the West" needs to have Kefkas laugh.
- There needs to be a wise old, german major general A.D. ("Außer Dienst"=Retired) halfway through the game that points out something really obvious, like: "Did you know that you replenish all your health when you sleep at an inn?"

I'm intrigued by this project but alas I have next to no talent in most of the creative process however if you guys do work it that you need voice actors i'd be willing to put my voice to it.

If you want a character with an Irish accent that needs subtitles that is

I own a british accent

I thus deserve to voice a villain

also I wouldnt mind helping write if peeps are ok with it
 
Thanks for all the suggestions and offers. If the writers feel the desire, we'll add it in, Von Clausewitz.

As for the voice stuff, we have to wait and see. Composing will likely hold precedence over it.

What we're chasing after now though is art assets and those who can provide them.
 
Sounds pretty neat!
If ya need something like a co-writer (worldbuilding or inspiration/ideas in particular, aint a native speaker, so writing fullfleshed dialogue might be hard for me) i might be able to help.

Not sure if we need three writers. But your offer of help is appreciated.
I'll try to set up a convo with everyone who'll be needed
 
@Surtur, @Randall Fragg, are you guys capable of helping? Because I set the group up and it's time to begin work. Also,
ANY ART CAPABLE PEOPLE ARE NEEDED DESPERATELY.

You should talk to Sanae first. We can't have too many writers. Otherwise it'll collapse due to the infighting. We want this to happen. No offense.
