My first RMN game, Dungeon of Monarchs, began as a volunteer project between members of the WIG (Women In Gaming) community back in 2013.
I worked as the producer of the Ethnic Face-sets Art Pack (a Kickstarter campaign for racially diverse game characters). The art pack's worldwide distribution date is January 25, 2016; and it's free for everyone, thanks to the generosity of our backers.
I currently work as a game designer at FunPlus in San Francisco. My favorite games are farming sims, dating sims, dungeon crawlers, and fantasy rpgs... especially games that combine them all, like Rune Factory 4, for example.

Free Face-set Art Pack - ethnic, black, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.
Here's the original topic about our Kickstarter:
Black Characters/Face-sets
Thanks to everyone who supported us. By the way, a new character was added to the art pack - Rahz from Dungeon of Monarchs (see profile pic) - a special thank you to Esther Chang for allowing us to add him to the pack.
All the face-sets are free to use (and yes, in commercial projects also!) thanks to the generosity of our backers. If you use the art pack, please remember to give credit to the corresponding artist(s) in your game; thanks.
The art pack can be downloaded here from Dropbox! You can also distribute the art pack; it's officially released to the world ;)
Thanks again to all of our backers, we couldn't have done it without you!

Just wanted to update the RMN community that the Ethnic Face-sets Kickstarter has finally launched! Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the preview stage. We made a lot of improvements with your help!
For those who haven't heard of this campaign before...
Our team is trying to promote racial and gender diversity by providing game art of black and ethnic heroes and heroines, free-of-charge, to the world, for use in commercial projects. If the campaign is successful, backers get the face-sets a full six months before world distribution, and our artists get paid. We have a wide range of rewards available; so please take a look.
It's our sincere hope this project will help indie developers everywhere! If you believe in our cause, please spread the word! Thank you for your support!

Seeking Feedback for Kickstarter Page - Ethnic Hero Face-sets!
Our team is creating a Kickstarter campaign to provide face-sets of black and ethnic heroes/heroines. The goal is to pay the artists; but provide the rest of the world this art pack for free.
We could use everyone's feedback on our Kickstarter page before the campaign goes live. It's easy to do. Simply follow this LINK TO THE KICKSTARTER PREVIEW and leave feedback at the top of the page (or in this thread if you prefer).
We're also participating in the Release Something VIII event, so feedback today (Fri.) and early tomorrow will count to that end;)
Thank you!!!

[Paid/Unpaid] Game Writing Jobs; [Free] Game Writing Course
I just started a new Twitter feed so I could post Game Writer Jobs for anyone interested in paid (or volunteer) work as a Game Writer.
If you're a writer - or you want to hire one - this Twitter feed is for you:
https://twitter.com/GameWriterJOBS
It's in conjunction with my "Writing for the Videogame Industry" class. I work as a game writer professionally, and I don't usually do anything with the job offers I can't take... I just get tired of saying I'm not available when one of my students or colleagues would take up the work. And so if this Twitter feed helps anyone, I'd be happy.
Also, I'm offering my game writing course for free. It's going through a major update, after which the price will go up. It's lifetime access, and has loads of professional templates to build a game writer's portfolio. If you're interested, here's the coupon you can share: FREE4RMN. And here's a direct link to the free course:

Is anyone else interested in having face-sets for black heroes? Well, I'm a big believer in paying artists for their work. And I'm wondering if we can generate enough interest to start a Kickstarter campaign that will pay artists to create these new resources.
Here's my reasoning.
RPG Maker engines have been around for a long time (since the 90's at least). They make great art. But I don't think they're going to release an ethnic face-set. So there's a void that needs to be filled.
I have been searching for ethnic face-sets for some time. Before anyone claims I'm using the "victim" card, let me assure you that I'm white; not black. But why should that matter???
It shouldn't; but I guess (some) people might not believe a white person would want dark-skinned face-sets. I do! And I know tons of others who would enjoy ethnic heroes/characters. There's a demand for these resources!
Also, we have a lot of talented artists in the RMN community. I applaud those who don't shy away from darker skin tones. However - and I mean this politely - I'm not talking about white characters with dark skin. I'm talking about dark-skinned races - Africans, Indians, Pacific Islanders, etc. And with our large, talented community, it's possible to do!
If you're with me, please post. Before I set up a Kickstarter campaign, I need to know the level of interest within RMN, and more importantly...
Are there any artists willing to make face-sets of black heroes? If you're one of them, please PM me with how many face-sets you're willing to do and what you're charges ($$$) are.
With any luck, we can make some free resources for the whole RMN community to enjoy!
