Posts

Pages: first 123 next last

Join the adventure!

~*The Blog*~ (The Official Team is listed here, and other info)
~*The Development Thread*~ (What we are working on right now is here)

System: RPG Maker VX
Genre: Adventure, RPG (obviously!)

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS TOPIC IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HELP ME! THANK YOU!

What is this Kokoro no Okoku?
Kokoro no Okoku is a fan game and original concept. The gameplay and story elements are based heavily from Kingdom Hearts, which is close to what the title translates into, "Hearts Kingdom". However, the characters and worlds are very different. Rather than Disney elements, our characters will encounter the worlds of popular animes such as Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Sailor Moon, Elfen Lied, and more!

Why should you join?
Kokoro no Okoku team is friendly and hard-working! It is a long-term project, so you won't have to worry about short deadlines. Also, everyone has a word in everything! Even if you are not on the creation team, for example, you may still give ideas and critique to that team! You will have fun researching Kingdom Hearts and fun animes that we will be using, and see this game become a reality!

Also, this is my very first SERIOUS game! I have made small, private games before for practicing and I think I am ready now!

If it counts, I have also made a game for a contest! It is a cinematic, so no gameplay!
~*DOLL*~ My experince, where I stand on graphics, eventing, and story-telling :)

What we are looking for:
Positions wanted/needed:
  • -Spriters - There are unlimited number of spriting positions available, since the more we have, the better! We will be using KADUKI style sprites. As a spriter you will get to create characters of popular animes listed above. You may frankensprite if it still looks like the character, but custom is preferred!
    -Face Makers - There is also unlimited number of face maker position. This is RTP style, and prefer to make full portraits. As a face maker you may create the faces of popular anime characters in RTP style! I myself am not using custom style, but if you know how to create custom style that LOOKS LIKE RTP, then you may apply!

    Other positions:
    -Writing Team - Help discuss storyline, plot, and character development. There are many, many, places to go and people to encounters, so people knowledgable in the animes listed would be good!
    -Eventing - Part of the creation team, we may or may not encounter complex event systems needed. Minigames will be included as well as simple cutscenes. As the lead, I will do most of the stuff involving the story, but I may need help for complicated things.
    -Mappers - We are going to be using almost every tile set imaginable! So if you are good with RTP tiles, mack tiles, or even XP, then you can help!
    -Scripters - I am useless for coding, but we have a nice team right now! Scripts are going to be needed for replicating some of the Kingdom Hearts elements, plus other features that will make this game more fun!
    -Database - This is a very very very important part of the game! If you are good with numbers, this area is for you! This is the hard part of balancing enemies, weapons, armors, and skills, making sure your character is not over-powered, making sure bosses take strategy and time to defeat, making sure armors will actually protect you! XD If you like challenging things, this is the place for you!

If you expect anyone to come on board with this you're going to have to show some examples of what you have done for this game already. People aren't going to jump on board helping you make your game unless they can see what kind of effort is going into it. That "development thread" gives very little information.
If you don't have anything and you're waiting until you get people, you need to show evidence of your aptitude and your ability to finish large projects like these. You know, a miniature portfolio with pics.

Am I missing something

EDIT: Sorry, I missed fan game. I'm blind. I can say right here and now that I am NOT a fan of this idea. I've seen too many of these anime collages, and they've all gone horribly wrong.
It is still early in development! Thank you all for your advice! :)
I guess I will keep working as the only spriter until we have screenshots and a little gameplay!
Hey. I'll join. ;)
Lol, didn't expect you to post a recruitment thread here though. :)
EDIT: Oh, and Celliana made an RTP face maker over on rpgmakervx.net, which is easy to use.
The idea itself is cool in theory. But like Lennon said, they generally don't end well.
But that's why it's better to build up a team. Then we can keep improving it and it will have a bigger chance on being better. Plus, this game isn't much of a redo of a game, so that allows us to change what we wish and add better ideas for it. :)
alright Dezzy i appreciate the support! no need to argue!
they are just being logical :)
i agree, that is why we are all going to prove it to them first, then if they will like to help they can ^_^

so please only reply if you want to help. it has already been stated that our idea is bad! no one else needs to say it! XDDDDD thank you!

as long as my request is not bad, i did not breaking the rules, then i am happy :)
Lol, 1) I'm not dezzy. :( and 2) I wasn't arguing. :&
I was merely stating a point.
Also, you should probably get some screenies up to show the game so far.
I'm recruitable!!.. but I'll proberly be more foucsed on the graphical side of things.
I'm guessing you just join the fourms right?
i joined a long time ago but i dont post much :)
what do you mean "Graphical"?
If you are a spriter by all means, please help! XD
Anything else is fine, just REALLY looking for a sprite person because i am the only one :(
I didnt knew this project was on omegadev :S
Luckily I'm a member there allready so hopfully you caught my reply

Minor nitpick regarding the name, but myself being Japanese this really bothers me:
The correct romaji for "王国", or "kingdom" in Japanese, is "oukoku".

The word is made up of "王", pronounced "ou" (sounds similar to the English word "Oh") and meaning "king" in Japanese, and "国", pronounced "koku" in this context and meaning "country" in Japanese. "King country", thus "kingdom".
I like the concept, a lot.

I might be interested in helping out a little.



and lol @ oukoku

What is this Kokoro no Okoku?

However, the characters and worlds are very different. Rather than Disney elements, our characters will encounter the worlds of popular animes such as Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Sailor Moon, Elfen Lied, and more!

I say this with all possible cordiality and respect, but this is the single worst idea ever. And yes I do mean the entire idea of "Kingdom Hearts for Anime" but if you just made it a straight SAILOR MOON MEETS ELFEN LIED crossover (kind of like Archie Meets The Punisher) and played it PURELY for laughs, you might have comedy gold on your hands.
But Sailor Moon is a goddess in teenage girls who transform based on some arbitrary power they found randomly and use in every episode, even when it's not needed.
Most surprising thing so far is that there's 11 people working on this O.o Even though I think it's destined to fail at some point (bound to if I'm helping out ;o) It does say alot about rpgmaking in general, like people are more likly to help out in fangames than original projects.. I wish this would apply to the latter though, we would see a bigger influx of completed projects in the community
if it ever becomes the case :(

Yeah but sometimes they just have o in English texts even though its a long vowel (ex: Shogun). If you want to get really fancy you can just put a bar over it. Or you could just write 心の王国
@KingArthur: Hey I remember you :)
I will fix it, thank you, I just got that one from the Google Translator :( I thought it might be wrong but what can I do? I did not know you are Japanese! XD

@Link_2112: That's great! :) You can send me a Message if you like! What are you applying for? XD

@Max McGee: Thank you but like I said, I would not like any more comments unless you are trying to help me. It is already been said that this is a bad idea and I really don't want to hear it anymore :) I am very motivated and I will not be sad if this does not work. I just want to try.

Besides that I also want to say that this is NOT an anime crossover. Have any of you played Kingdom Hearts? Did Ariel ever meet Tarzan? Did Hercules ever meet Jack? NO. They did not meet. This consist of the characters visiting the worlds.

The only anime cross-over element is maybe the party members I will chose to replace Donald and Goofy. But besides that.. this is not an anime cross-over.

Thank you. I will say for the

SECOND TIME.

Thank you for your opinions, I am greatful but please ONLY REPLY if you want to help me.
ONLY REPLY IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME.

ONLY REPLY..
IF YOU WANT
TO HELP ME.

Please, I have not done something to offend people (besides spelling my game name wrong ^_^; ). I made a correct request in the correct forum, so please do not make me have to talk to higher powers (admin, moderator) if I get another reply about not helping but telling me this is a bad idea.

If you are very passionate about it you may PM me XD But the reason is that I do not want to start an arguement when I am trying to recruit. Thank you for understanding!
