HARMONEE or OVERTONES (working titles)

Hi everyone,

I'm an illustrator and art student based in Orlando, FL. You can see my work here:http://www.luke-daniel.com/
I'm creating a small RPG as a promo for my work. The graphic side of the project is complete and I've taken the Summer off from school to put the game together. The game uses no stock graphics; everything is handmade by yours truly including sprites, tilesets, battlebacks, panoramas, windowskins, transitions, battle animations, everything. Even the music is custom-made by a musician friend. The premise for the game is wacky and fun and far from the style I've seen in RPGs of the past.
EDIT: I've recruited Atoa to script a custom battle system and I'm super excited to see what he comes up with.

The ideal system:
Battles are sound-based. Each skill is a single note, generating a beam from the player's mouth. Your four-man party can use combo attacks by "singing" in harmony. Ideally, after choosing Sing (or Skill) a bar will appear with a pointer moving left and right, similar to those in golf games: "http://www.pinkgodzillagames.com/pinky-tsu/wii.golf.3-thumb.jpg". Where you click select determines the note/skill your actor will use.
I have all animations prepared and working, I just lack the programming knowledge to create the battle system. It sounds simple enough to me, but I'm sure it's a scripting nightmare.

If anyone can help with the game I would really appreciate it. I can post a small demo or screenshots if anyone is interested. Let me know what you think! Also, the title is still completely up in the air. I need suggestions!

SCREENSHOTS:

Hello Luke,

Well first off its kinda ironic my name is Luke as well :D, I am willing to work on your battle system for I am bored out of my mind and this seems like a good challenge and pretty cool. What I will need from you is a couple of sample sketches of various parts of your battle systems design. Im willing to work with you on this. Please send sketches to legacystudios@official.ws, or azrith001@hotmail.com.

Thanks
Luke xD

This is probably the most interesting game I've seen on this site in forever. I admit you graphics are what caught my eye the most, it is sort of like an abstract reality.

The use of sound in battle is a nice touch as well, I look forward to seeing how this turns out.
Good luck :)
