[RMVX ACE] Possible game maker needs team BADLY :P
author=unity
I've been on a couple of teams before, so maybe I can give you some advice about making/joining one.
Red Nova, Sooz, and I partnered on the game Remnants of Isolation. But that team didn't come together because one of us asked for a team in a thread like this. Instead, it started almost a year back, when I played Red Nova's game Soul Sunder, was impressed with what he had done, and offered to do some mapping help.
From there we got to know each other and what we could do with RPG Maker. We both had a game up on the site and we each supported each other's games. We became friends and found we could bounce ideas off each other easily. Sooz is my best friend so she volunteered to help as well. So we made a team we could trust, and we got to work.
My advice is to make a simple game or two to show off what you can do in RPG Maker. You say you're just an eventing and writing guy, so make a game where those two aspects are on display. It doesn't matter if you use RTP graphics and sound, the important part is to show the world you can make a game on your own and show off your strengths. Then people will be much more willing to work with you, as they can see your skill and dedication first-hand.
If all this sounds complicated and time-consuming, that's because it is, a little. But it's worth it. Trust me.
If it's legal to use Google images on RPG Maker VX Ace games (just to make sure I don't have to call NO designer to work for me) then I'll just stick around with this one for the title, what do you think? --> http://thekarmicpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/victor1558-creative-violin.jpg
P.S: At the moment I'm not at home. It's 15h PM GMT, but around 19 PM GMT or later, I'll be around my PC, and maybe at that time I'll show you something NOT from my game (because it's blank) BUT...well, something random made from me. Since you want it THAT much.

In that case, let me get a little more direct:
1. Not all replies here may have been extremely polite, but be sure there is no "drama" about any of this. The issue is not that people want to discourage you from making the game you want to see in this world. The problem is that what you essentially want is a fangame, if not about, then at least based on Lindsey Stirling and yourself. And while that idea might sound appealing to you, it won't necessarily be to others.
Don't get me wrong, I like Lindsey Stirling's music, too. But - no offense - at the moment, your ideas look like little more than an inexperienced fanboy's fantasy. And while that is totally cool for a game you make yourself, asking others to help with that is simply the wrong way to go about this.
2. A blank project is really not that much of an incentive for others to help you out. You will either need to improvise, for example by using placeholder graphics etc., and you should start thinking about what your players will actually be supposed to do when they play your game. Start brainstorming about a good gameplay concept, fiddle around with RPG Maker until you've got a solid base for a game. Before that, nobody is just going to assume your game is worth investing so much time and work into if they could be making their own games in the meantime instead. Because all that stuff you are asking for would be a lot of work for others, too, believe it or not!
3. Let me get this straight: I am just an eventer and writer. I can map, but I don't think I'm a genius at it. I cannot script, I have zero art skills, I have no talent for composing music. And yet I make games. Why? Because over the years, I have learned to use my strengths instead of waiting for someone else to cover my weaknesses. If you want to make an ambitious project happen, you first will have to grow yourself. I can promise that if you continue going about game making like you are doing now, you will only end up frustrated. And nobody wants that to happen.
P.S.: OST stands for Original Sound Track, which means the music was composed specifically for a project. Unless you can get Lindsey Stirling to create music just for your game, I don't think you can call it that.
No I won't. Because I'm determined to prove you that you're all wrong about me. Sooner or later you'll see.

Well. If not Lindsey, then again I tell you. Just try another name, (I even referred Luanne Moonlight, so I really don't know what's your drama about that!!). That's all.
And I just called OST because the songs are not ALL decided as well. They will in the future, this is only very FEW things I can show. I can't show more than this because the project is BLANK!!
And again I tell you, I'm not a designer, so how am I supposed to put more information, when I don't even have abilities on designer for example? A designer could, for example, make some good picture maybe for the title of the game so that I could post on the forum. But without that, how am I supposed to post?? Tell me!!
Guys, I am just an eventer, a writer and I also can take care of the music tracks. But nothing more! Because these 3 things are already work enough for me! Believe it or not!!

Well. This is ONLY, and definitelly ONLY for the people who see RPG Maker VX Ace as a serious work. All this because I am gonna post all my trust and confidence in my game because I believe that with a good team we can do something great.
Now the story is based on a violinist that you all know, she is called Lindsey Stirling, however if you think it is better to give her another name in the game just tell me, and we will discuss that. Lindsey Stirling in the game is a girl that came from the sky and wants to show her magic to all humanity and at the same time, save the world from evil. Will she make it?
Well...normally in 90% of fantasies they all end up in happy endings, but SOME of Final Fantasy series do have bad endings, will this one end up great, or will end up bad? If you help me, you WILL also be responsible for the end of the story. :)

OST:
Lindsey Stirling – Crystallize

MUSE – Resistance
Journey Soundtrack – Nascence
Final Fantasy XIII-2 – Yeul’s Theme
And some other songs that members of the team can suggest
Characters:
Lindsey Stirling (or if not possible, it can be another name for that violinist, for example, Luane Moonlight, who knows)
Alexis Nitros (or Alexis Fernandes, which is myself, but again, if not possible, we can also choose another character and another name, I don't mind)
Felix XV (a wolf that can learn all human abilities just like Red XIII)
Christina Wilhelmsson (a blond girl, but that's all we know for now)
Patrice Mbemba (an adult of black skin)
Tatjana Vega (a girl with a long sword, just like Sephiroth)
Unfortunatelly this is all the information I have from my game for now, I don't even have images to put on forum :(. I'm waiting for some designers first. Or for some people who have those abilities that I don't have. xD. So that I can start eventing and writing. That's what's happening.
