Looking for an Artist (Found one, sorry to those late to the game)

Dime A Dozen
Overview
The only thing that I have left in terms of prep work is some art. Generally, what I need is around 20 faces and busts, a thumbnail, and a poster for promotion. I do have sprites, so we don't have to worry about that.
I am looking for an artist to collaborate with. I'm not offering money, but I can (and would like to):
-Give credit, with links to whatever websites you're on
-Have the game listed as a collaboration. EG, it would say in the credits “TRIDIUM and (Your name here) present”.
-Help with future projects. I can playtest, do some video editing, or just generally help with balancing and stuff like that.
Now, on to the story and characters.
Dime a Dozen is a turn-based RPG (Wow, who'da thunk it?) that takes inspiration from the idea of what I think Dragon Quest is like. (Never could get past the first 2 minutes). Meaning, the numbers are a lot lower, and every bit of damage counts. There is less elemental modifiers than most RPG's, and your MP is a lot lower.
The setting is an unnamed Japanese city in the year 2045. Five or so years earlier, scientists discovered that another dimension existed. They named is the Zero Dimension, as it is an infinite void, with the only creatures able to exist there are parasites known as An0m@lies. They realize that these parasites can be embedded into humans, and vigorous experimentation is initiated.
Twelve subjects are chosen, most of them young teens, as subjects. They are given An0m@lic cells, and they become one with the An0m@lies. The results are as planned: Each of the subjects gains a powerful attribute, at the cost of their sanity. The subjects learn to cope, however, with the parasite, and live in unsteady peace at the facility.
Without warning, Grant, the oldest of the subjects, flies into a fit of rage and uses the gate to the Zero Dimension to let An0m@lies into the Japan.
The Hunters, a group of assassins, soldiers, and bounty hunters, are assembled to fight them all. In the end, the Hunters are victorious, and a deal is made with Grant.
All of the half An0m@lies are allowed to live normal lives if they promise not to use their powers. They are also forbidden to contact any of the other subjects besides their assigned partners. They all agree to this, and are content for a while.
The IDP (Inter-Dimensional Police), lead by Agent Z, grows restless. They are in charge of keeping track of all the half An0m@lies, and recently they have had trouble contacting some of them. They decide to take a head count, and order that they all check in. In the end, only four show up. Z asks them to help track down the rest, with the aid of a Hunter. They agree. The game follows these characters as they try to find and apprehend the remaining half An0m@lies.

Characters
All of the half An0m@lies are based on the Brand Archetypes. Their Archetype is noted next to their name.
Alexander (Hero)
Not respected by his peers, but a moral young man nonetheless. He is looked upon as pretentious, as he is Christian with a strong moral code. He has a deep appreciation for the fine arts, especially Classical music. Strangely, he is a aspiring game dev. He has a serious and mature personality that turns some people off. His power is the ability to move objects with his mind and create portals.
Eito (Caregiver)
Alexander's partner and best friend. He is a lovable loser who has a good heart, but despite his best efforts, cannot win a woman over. Generically happy and optimistic, he relies on other people rather than himself. His power is the ability to create shields around people.
Scarlet (Outlaw)
Bordering on insanity. She has a strange and cynical personality that can be hard to digest. She always has a “bit” going on, whether that's only speaking in cat-ese for the day or convincing Eito that he does not, in fact, exist. She enjoys chaos, and is not averse to causing it when she can. Deep down inside, though, she admires Alexander. Her power is the ability to create manipulate the elements.
Kazanai (Creator)
An expert artist and budding philosopher. She is very quiet, but wise and quite sure of her strengths and weaknesses. Her father trains her in Ju-jitsu, which she reluctantly practices. The other girls at school make fun of her due to her stutter, but Scarlet doesn't mind. Her power is the ability to manipulate people's mood. \

NOTE: I no longer need an artist. Thank you!

My Writing (Or, explaining my tagline)

So, as you might have noticed, I said I was a better writer than Dev.
Just for fun, here's a book I wrote a 2-3 years ago (Getae), and something I'm working on now (Post Mortem). I'd love to hear some feedback. Enjoy!
Getae
Post Mortem
(I recommend Post Mortem. It's my most recent, although it's still a WIP).

I now have a blog! Your text to link here...

Man VS Machine EP 1: Denji VS Sekiro

So, I had this idea a while ago.
I'm a writer. I like to write, okay?
Anyway, I came up with some crazy battles, IE, a cat pitted against Mario.
I wrote a little scene of what I think would happen, and then I fed the question into ChatGPT.
Now, I'm not trying to start any AI arguments here, but I'm calling this "Man Versus Machine".
Okay, here's my take. A slight wind blew Denji's tie to one side. He looked Sekiro in the eye, and revved his chainsaws. Sekiro remained unfazed. He had seen a lot in his life, and a man with chainsaws sticking out his head and hands was nothing compared to a headless ape holding a samurai sword.
Sekiro gripped his sword with both hands. He did not speak. Denji, on the other hand, made a sort of grating yell. Without warning, he leaped into the air at Sekiro. Sekiro, not willing to be caught off guard, brought his sword up to block the blow with swift precision.
Katana's are not meant to be hit against chainsaws, as one might imagine, so the hit shattered the sword. Sekiro leaped backwards and threw a well placed shirken at Denji, who made a futile attempt to get out of the way. Denji, invigorated by his strike, rushed towards Sekiro. Unfortunately, Sekiro knew exactly what to do. Just as the chainsaw was about to hit him, he planted his foot firmly on top, throwing Denji off balance.
Sekiro used this opportunity to use his prosthetic arm to stab a poisoned blade directly into Denji's chest. Naturally, it did not kill him, but it really hurt, and that was not okay. Denji swung his head around and drove the chainsaw into Sekiro's chest, causing him to die instantly.
Denji laughed and walked away. He had won.
Just as he was congratulating himself, he felt a burning sword in his chest. He turned his head to see Sekiro, wearing a hint of a smirk, holding the Mortal Blade. Denji fell to the ground, dead (forever, mind you).
While Sekiro remained silent, one could imagine he thinking the immortal words “Shadows die twice!”.

Okay, now Chat GPT. Note that this is not edited.
Denji, the protagonist of Chainsaw Man, stood facing Sekiro, the one-armed wolf, in the middle of a desolate wasteland. Denji had his trusty chainsaw in hand, revving it up as he prepared for the fight. Sekiro drew his katana and assumed a defensive stance, watching Denji's every move.

Denji charged forward, his chainsaw roaring as he swung it at Sekiro with all his might. Sekiro dodged the attack with ease, swiftly moving out of the way and striking back with a quick slice of his katana. Denji blocked the attack with his chainsaw, sparks flying as the two weapons clashed.

The battle continued on like this for several minutes, with Denji relentlessly attacking and Sekiro skillfully defending and counterattacking. The sound of metal against metal echoed through the wasteland as the two warriors fought with all their might.

Finally, Denji saw an opening and went for it, swinging his chainsaw in a wide arc. But Sekiro was ready, and he quickly parried the attack with his katana. Taking advantage of Denji's momentary pause, Sekiro lunged forward with a swift strike, piercing Denji's heart with his blade.

Denji's eyes widened in shock as he looked down at the blade protruding from his chest. With a final gasp, he fell to the ground, his chainsaw clattering beside him. Sekiro stood over him, his katana stained with blood, and sheathed his weapon.

The battle was over, and Sekiro emerged victorious. He had proven himself to be a skilled and formidable warrior, capable of taking down even the most powerful of foes. Denji, on the other hand, had fought valiantly but had ultimately fallen in battle.

Anyone wanna play a cool game with me?

Saddest title ever. Sorry.
I've recently started playing an Attack on Titan fan game. Roark's AOT Fangame
I've never watched the show, so don't feel like this isn't for you.
Anway, if anyone wants to hop on a server with me, let me know. I'm a little busy, but I'm available around nine most nights. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sum up the worst game you ever played in a single line.

Just do what the title says. Please give the name of the game and...please, please.
If some one chooses your favorite game, suck it up. Sorry, I'm harsh when it comes to that sort of thing. Also, preferably no RM or single dev games, cause that's just mean. I'll start.
Animus: Have you ever wondered if Dark Souls didn't have invincibility frames?


Tears of the Kingdom ideas that you know they won't do.

So, I'm a moderate Zelda fan. Breath of Wild is probably my favorite game.
Anyway, if anyone is a fan, they probably saw the new trailer. If not, please do. It's the best trailer I've ever seen. SPOILERS to Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.
Anyway, post a theory for a story or gameplay idea. I'll start.
So, Link and Zelda are trying to stop Ganon from you know, making life miserable for everyone. At some point, it is revealed that Demise has returned to destroy Hyrule. The combined power is too much, and both Link and Zelda are slain.
Ganon, moved by regret and possibly a WELL ACTED VOICE LINE FROM LINK (Ahem, Nintendo), decides that Demise must go, and, for the final boss, you play as Ganon fighting Demise. (To a sweet metal track, of course)
In the end, Ganon wins and either vows to rebuild Hyrule and end the curse, or perhaps turns back time so Link and Zelda can come back.

Anyway, let me know what your crazy BOTW 2 theories are. Tell me what you think of mine, if you want.

Looking for some music to beef up my soundtrack

So, I'm working on a game using Glav's Music Player. The player will be able to buy cd's at various shops during the game and can play them during battles.

Anyone who writes/sings, just send a link or something and I can include you in that list of songs. I'm not offering money (sorry), but I'll credit you however you please.
Also, if you know any really good royalty free music, tell me.


A few things.
No 1: For personal reasons, I won't be able to respond very often. Please expect a week if you have questions.
No 2: I realized I wasn't very specific as to what kind of music I was looking for.
I'm looking for anything:
Anime
With Lyrics (Clean please!)
Like Persona 5 \
Alternative

[RMVX ACE] States like dark souls

Any idea how to make status ailments like dark souls where they build up instead of being randomly applied?
A script or general eventing guide would do.
Any help or feedback (even if it's a "you can't do that" kind of message) would be greatly appreciated.

[RMVX ACE] Guns in Battle Engine Symphony

I was using Yami's Battle engine symphony, and I was wondering if there was a way to add guns. Now, I know there are countless scripts and tutorials for adding an ammo system, but what I want is a nice visual representation of a gun firing. I want a animation to be played on the target (blood splatter or something) and a gun to be shown somewhat near the actor's torso (like the swords do). I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what to do. I am up for some script editing or more advanced eventing. Thank you!

Playtester Available

Hey, been sorta bored and I love giving feedback so...
If anyone's looking for a playtester, send me a message and I'll probably be able to help.
Some caveats: No, and I mean no, inappropriate/offensive content. This is a personal thing, so don't ask. I don't mind some mild cursing or violence.
I've done it a few times, and I will do commercial games as long as I don't have to pay (Yeah, I'm a cheapskate)

Signing off,
TRIDIUM
