[RMVX ACE] THE INSINDIOUS PROJECT - RECRUITING ALL MEMBERS!

You're probably wondering what The Insindious Project is, huh? The thing is, I have an immense passion for games and gaming, I always have. Ever since the days Legend of Dragoon and Xenogears I've grown to learn that video games weren't merely digital board games, but way to break out of reality and experience the creativity and dedication creators put into their masterpieces; because every game is a masterpiece in its own way. The Insindious Project is an initiative of mine to create a fun, engaging and lovable game. Like most game projects, this one requires time and dedication, which I have no problem putting in. When creating a game, it shouldn't feel like a chore, right?. We should feel refreshed and accomplished upon completing each task needed to complete the project.

But let me not go on for too long. Insindious is the name of the game, which I'm anticipating on consisting of:

• Plenty of colorful, lovable and respectable characters.

• A deep storyline featuring characters with detailed backstories.

• Deep, lush and vast areas for the player to explore.

• Fun and deeply emotional majesty that can keep the player engaged every single moment.

• A visual and musical experience with art and music from many artists.

• Fast, strategic, flashy and engaging battles so grinding isn't a chore.

• Fresh and bright user interfaces.

• Balanced gameplay, playable characters and enemies.

• An abundance of treasures and side content.

• Robust dialogue and heavy emphasis on character development (I mean, if you're going to go on a journey, you're going to want to enjoy spending time with your team members, correct?).

HUD Designer (1)
We plan on utilizing a minimalistic, vibrant and easy to navigate system of interfaces to make the game easy on the eyes and easy to maneuver. A game such as an RPG can be very heavy on the menus, which is why we want to ensure players are pleased with the layouts. The game focuses around several themes and features many symbols, insignias and representative colours. We appreciate those who have an eye for style, symbolism and space management.


Landscape Artist (1)
Scenery and atmosphere are what give an RPG its nostalgic appeal. Surrounding the player in lush environments and presenting story situations and moments with colorful and detailed backgrounds gives the story and the world its own character. You may also be tasked with collaborating with our character artist when making layouts and promotional art; with those two powers combined we can deliver breathtaking impressions.

What we're looking for:



Battle Sprite Artist (1)
Our battle system will use Holder's Battler template. The style however, should remain similar to the field sprites. Each character will have different movements depending on their personality, battle style and weapons. It's important that you become familiar with how Holder's frames work.

What we're looking for:




Map Creators (2)
You'll be tasks with uniquely designing and constructing vast, detailed, lush and vibrant maps. You'll be provided with all the tilesets necessary to create your maps, but you're free to edit and modify them to your liking. We'll be using a parallax method of mapping, meaning you'll be designing the base of your map in the engine, but heavily modifying it using a photo manipulation program to finely tune and enhance your map using multiple layers and absolute placement control.

You'll also be required to create a battleback (the area in which the 2 dimensional battle takes place) for your map (if applicable). Preferably we'll be using dynamic battlebacks which involve one still layer (the ground) and one or more moving layers (water/sky).

To see samples of what we have so far, check the Information section and look under 'Map Samples'

Tools Required:


What 'style' we're looking for:



Map Tuner/Texture Artist (1)
You'll be required to enhance and perfect existing maps. This includes fixing placement issues, properly adjusting object allignment, blending ground textures to give a rich and realistic feel, adding decorations to maps as deemed necessary and recolouring/modifying structures of objects to properly suit the atmosphere of the map region.

For samples of some maps that have been tuned well, please check above.


Tileset Creator (1)
If you have a steady hand and the ability to craft lovely custom tiles in which we could use in our mapping, this position is definitely for you. The key to making beautiful maps is not only making properly using tiles, but using tiles that are original and well crafted. This will give out maps their own sense of character and charm.

What 'style' we're looking for:





Battle Programmer (1)
We plan on designing an intricate battle system far beyond the standards of the engine's default features. This requires many scripted battle features working alongside each other in order to construct a robust, fast, fun and strategic battle system. This also includes the HUDs, management of sprite animations and custom skill animations/events.


Field System Programmer (1)
This position entails the code construction of the game's many field features and how they link/flow with one another. Systems such as weather, time, enemy proximity detection, blacksmithing and many of the HUDs (shops, main menu, dialogue selection, message boxes,etc.). You'll also be working alongside with the Battle Programmer in many ways when making linkages to field systems and the battle system.

Wish you good luck on this project. I think they look decent and could be rmxp's next flagship game.

I am sucker for battle layout, so...humour me? :D

Thank you! :D And we don't have any samples yet. Maybe in a while though ;)
