[RMVX ACE] VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR NEW GAME!

Phew... saddle in (*RIMSHOT!*), folks, this one's gonna be a doozy.

So, a while back, me and a friend came up with this idea for a Final Fantasy-styled My Little Pony RPG that would involve characters and settings ASIDE from Equestria. But not in any way you've ever seen.

Ideas were tossed and turned, batted and cartwheeled, smashed and incinerated left and right, but finally, it was decided. The story would involve a young pony living on a remote island traveling to Equestria with her partner in an attempt to stop a power crazed maniac from destroying their home.

However, what's interesting to note is that not only is their island so far out of Equestria's boundaries noone outside of the island is aware of it's existence, the island lacks many of the things that Equestria has, including deserts, dragons, and even alicorns.

And yes, the islands current ruler is a unicorn, not an alicorn. On the island, alicorns are believed to be only "Myth"; Make-believe beings created for the sole purpose of childrens bedtime stories.

So imagine this young travelers shock and surprise when she arrives in Canterlot, and meets Princess Celestia for the first time. That's not going to give her a sense of deja vu, now is it?

Anyway, your ultimate goal in this game is to find the villain and put a stop to his evil plot, and sure, while you can just go straight to his lair and do that, you'd be missing out on about 80% of the game by doing so.

The real center stage attraction in this game is the sidequests, kind of like Zelda: Majora's Mask, where you don't HAVE to do all the optional side stuff, but doing so will not only net you a better ending, but multiple means to boost your characters strength and powers that'll give you the edge in battle.

Now, all of this is awesome to talk about, but there's just one problem: I'm a one-man force with little to NO budget to develop this game with! The best engine that I have to develop this game with is RPG Maker VX Ace, which is all fine and dandy ( it beats 2003 by a long shot ), but I can't create sprites for all the games characters ( whether they're from the show or not ), tilesets that fit the style of the TV show ( environments and battle backgrounds, for example ), or compose a soundtrack that fits with the style of the show. If I had those two things, I'd be working on this game from dawn till' dusk right now.

So, here's what I need help with: I need someone to volunteer their time to get me the character sprites, location tilesets and images, and soundtrack that I need to make this thing a reality. I'm sorry to make a request of this scale with next to no money to kick around, but it's all I got to work with right now. I'm just glad I was able to catch a Steam holiday sale and get a better engine to develop the game with then RPG Maker 2003.

If anyone thinks they're good enough to do that, PLEASE let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I can with what I need.

I have an official discord server set up where I'm communicating with other team members to make this project a reality. If your good enough to help with this game, I'll send you the invite link to come and join us.

Thanks a lot, and see you again soon!
i have seen RMVXA games that use MLP sprites. find them on google.
I have seen those games before. And I won't lie. A few of them are pretty good. However, as this one is going to feature entirely new character sprites and the like for the four playable characters, along with a majority of the NPC's, those games graphical pieces just won't work.

And that's just the graphical details. I also need someone to help compose the soundtrack.

I hate to break it to you (Sometimes someone just needs stand up and be a jerk. Why is it always me?) You will most likely need to make 100% of this game by yourself. No one will do anything for you. And in the end you might get lucky and get 50-100 downloads of your game.

I made a video of a man laughing. This is the reality you face in the real world when you make a silly request like this. (ie. Where no one gets anything in return and you offer very little. People just don't wait around waiting for other people to come up with video game ideas.)

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

I understand where you're coming from kory but i think a better way to be a jerk would be to ignore this thread completely, like everyone else does.
Please try to keep things civil, everyone. I don't want a fight breaking out here.

And please try to refrain from being a jerk/troll.

Thank you.
Yeah I don't really get this hostile treatment towards people asking for help with nothing to really offer. Yes it's bad not to pay/exchange people for work and rarely do people sign up for these things but it's pretty much allowed by the site owners to do this advertising given the pitch is convincing and the guidelines followed.

It's just dumb and gives newer members a bad impression. I don't really see the point of it.

Why?
Well, I'm not going to lie. Looking at other MLP games has given me a good idea of what I need to make this project a reality. And it helps that I was able to find someone to help me with the character sprites.

It's always good to know that these communities always seem to have those few people who are willing to help out. Sure, it's amidst a zombie horde of idiots who may or may not have any business being on the internet in the first place, but I digress...

Thanks for the assistance, everyone! Maybe I'll see you another day, when it's time to put out a demo! Until then!
