LOOKING FOR A MAPPER, FOR LOVE AND WAR!

Hello everyone, I'm Admiral Styles. For those who don't know, I'm the creator of Love and War, an RM2K RPG series. You can find its webpage here: http://www.antiochforever.com/law/ and its RMN page here: http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/98/ I've been working on Act II, and for a time it seemed as though a real breakthrough had been made. But, life doesn't always work the way you wish it might, and that's why I'm here, asking for a new mapper. :)

Now, I don't need the best mapper in existence - let's just say it should at least match the level of mapping found in Act I? Here are some screenshots:









I certainly don't expect fifty maps to be churned out every day, or whatever - just slow and steady progress with semi-regular updates would be fine by me. This is for Act II, now - if you stayed on past that, that would be great, but it'd be best to take it one step at a time, concentrate on what's immediately ahead of us.

So! If there are any aspiring RM mappers out there who are able and willing to lend me a hand, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it. :)

I could have sworn I offered to do this months ago and then you just vanished... =[

(But I am still willing to!)

Eh? From my side, it really did seem like the opposite; you seemed to disappear at one point, months passed with no contact, and so I assumed you were no longer able or willing? Besides which, you do have a project of your own... What I need in my mapper most of all is reliability. My worst case scenario would be to have another six months or year pass with little or no progress made, forcing me to look for another mapper again. I would really rather this not happen if at all possible. :P

Tau: I know what you mean... If there is justice in this world, maybe someday the whole saga will get redone right, the way it deserves. So, all things considered, probably not. :P :) At this point I'd prefer to focus on the future. So, do you think you might make for a good "backup mapper" or so?

Max: Feel your pain, for sure! Thank you for the kind words, I hope you're right. :)

Geodude: That's an awfully nice thing to say, thanks. :) I'd settle for setting up my own state somewhere in RMdom, though!

Little Wing Guy: There's no deadline here; I'm trying to find the best candidate. Would you be interested in the project?

Oh dear... Well BlindMind, send me an e-mail (ofloveandwar AT hotmail.com), and let's see if we can work something out? :)

To other interested mappers: Again, a backup mapper would be very helpful, I'd bet. I also have a sideproject on the backburner... If any would be interested in mapping for that one, do let me know!

Sent you an e-mail, BlindMind. :)

I don't know, Blindmind's mapping and graphical style are vastly different than what's seen on Act I. It would be the oddest thing if Act II just suddenly jumped to Suikoden chipsets with lighting effects and birds flying everywhere.

Whoever you pick to do it, make sure that they can adapt to the style of your game so things can feel at least a little consistent. If you guys can do that then cool, but don't pick somebody just because their own game looked really pretty.

I understand and agree with your point about consistency, but I have to admit at this point that's fallen a rung or two down on the priority list; getting it done is number one. Have to admit though, the biggest problem is whether to remake some of the original maps that appear in both Act I and Act II and are currently looking a bit stale, like Davenport...

Mr.Nemo: I think we all want to see the cat.

But seriously though, any and all potential "backup mappers" should contact me and let me know. It'd be much appreciated!
