-- TEAM MEMBERS WANTED --

Your Team Name: Leon Corp.

The game you're making: IN THE DEEP

What type of game is it:
Underground sci-fi fantasy thriller that combines elements of gritty realism with fantastic magic in a game set in a huge post-apocalyptic underground network of shelter caverns.

What kind of help/skills you need: I am looking for the following:
MAPPERS - People to help create maps for anything such as towns built within caverns, or dungeons built within them.
PUZZLE DESIGNERS - People who can create intriguing puzzles for the so called "dungeon" maps.

Size of tasks required (will it take a lot of work or not much?):
How long this takes is really up to you. I am looking for assistance wherever it comes from but either way it has to be done by December 5th so it shouldn't take too long. This game is only intended to be a few hours long at most.

-- TEAM MEMBERS WANTED --

Your Team Name: "God Speed Justice"

The game you're making: DESU! (Dangerous Extraterrestrial Suppression Union) -The Underground Alien Paradise- [[note: that's not the real title yet!]]

What type of game is it:
A tokusatsu-themed action roleplaying game set in an underground historical site that actually had a way to an alien world below our Earth.

What kind of help/skills you need: I am looking for the following:
Mappers: To make the Underground Alien Paradise possible, I need mappers to help me create the world for this game. The Alien Paradise of course start off as an underground historical site with few alien traces. Think of a buried Pentagon with few alien scraps.
Spriters: People who can come up with objects, characters and animations. Spriters are well-needed to construct the Underground Alien Paradise, the alien inhabitants, the DESU! operatives and of course other objects. Plus, the human sprite template to be used will be the Koemushi Template

Of course, I can still be the spriter, tileset maker, mapper and eventer but I'm open for other people too.

Size of tasks required (will it take a lot of work or not much?):
Well, everything has to be done before December 4, 2009.

OFF: Say, since I'm from Philippines, does it mean that our deadline here will be December 6?

The deadline is 11:59 pm, Eastern Standard Time, on December 5th. (EST)

So for you it would be 12:59 pm on December 6th.

 

[j4kl1ng3r]

Your skills: I am a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to RMXP. I can do music, mapping, SOME eventing, and just general nonsense. Contact me for more details.

Your preferred game type(s)/genres: Oblivion, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, World of Warcraft style games. I do like futuristic games too, and that Superhero game that recently came out was pretty pimp as well. I hate games that do not have succinct graphic styles, or that try too hard on graphics.

How much time can allot for this over the next 2 months?: I work from 5 - 10 on Sundays and Tuesdays. So, if your forreal, I'm forreal.

Your preferred game type(s)/genres: Sidescrolling
How much time can allot for this over the next 2 months?:
Not very much, but some :3

So euh.. I'd like to offer small-time help graphical wise. I won't have THAT much time, but I'd like to be part of something as well. Examples of my work can be seen at http://twinity.deviantart.com/. I used to work on my own game too, and have completed one first game in rmxp. Example: viewtopic.php?p=431406#p431406

So.. if you need a titlescreen, cutscene stuff or just random images, contact me through PM.
(only serious stuff please)

(btw i'm from the netherlands, timezone GMT+1

You don't really get a bonus. You start the contest at the same time and finish at the same time as everyone else, the dates are just different. Just because you're in a different time zone doesn't mean that you can conjure up a day out of nowhere.

 

[Perihelion]

[moog]

-- I WANT TO JOIN THE CONTEST BUT I NEED A TEAM --
Your skills: I have been working on my mapping skills for a year now. I can come up with some good ideas for story/puzzles when you need opinions as well, but mapping is my main skill. I can make a title screen as well if you have not already done so.
Your preferred game type(s)/genres: General RPGs. Basically what you described sounds like fun.
How much time can allot for this over the next 2 months?: At least three and a half hours a day until the deadline.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd love to be apart of your team. I can't make my own team because I'm not experienced enough, but I'm pretty darn good at mapping. As long as you supply the tilesets, I'll make the maps. (Or are ya' going to use RTP?)

I don't want ANY of the winnings. So that's all yours.

What do you say?

EDIT: Puzzles.. hrmm... I can work on those too I suppose, but I can't promise anything. I also have photoshop so I can make a title screen if you haven't already. Here is an example of my title-screen-making capabilities.

--IF ANYBODY WANTS TO HELP IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED--
Your Team Name:
No, Idea - If you want you can make it up; right now I'm thinking something with "rock" in it
The game you're making:
Hard Rock Night Affright
What type of game is it:
A Comedy Filled Action Adventure in Frightful Location
(Think Ghostbusters The Game)
Two old pals, both maintenance workers for Hard Rock, get the night guard shift, at the Hard Rock Theme Park in Myrtle Beach, for shirking off duties earlier and instead partying at the Casino. Little do they know of the local Biker Gang Leader's plans for revenge
What kind of help/skills you need:
Really I'd just like to ask for a writer, me and my pals here can take care of the rest, but being the only writer is taxing; help is much appreciated...
Size of tasks required (will it take a lot of work or not much?):
Probably not to much, I don't need everything planned moment by moment, Mostly just ideas of the major plot events (elaborate ride-based pranks that scare our oldboy protagonists), maybe a couple funny dialogs that would be passed between the two protagonists while they walk around a seemingly "haunted" theme park.

 

[Kiriashi]

You might wanna' put a little more "umph" into your story.


People will want to know about your game before they join a team.

 

[Velocir_X]

Really?
I have about as much up as everyone else, and all I'm really lacking is the name and team title, because really, they don't matter to me that much. I was more focused on giving some concrete information on the game than making it "flashy". IMO flash should be shown in how great the plot and interactions in characters are, most importantly the dialogs, and that I don't believe anyone has that yet.

People will want to know about your game before they join a team.

Spoiler

Er...
this:

Cheap Comedy, in a frightful location...
(nothing like Scary Movie; more like when you ad your pals crack jokes while playing Silent Hill.)
Two old pals, both maintenance workers for Hard Rock, get the night guard shift on October 31st, at the Hard Rock Theme Park in Myrtle Beach, for shirking off duties earlier and instead partying at the Casino. Little do they know of the local group of troublemakers, and their Halloween pranks...

If you think about it gives you more info than this:

Underground sci-fi fantasy thriller that combines elements of gritty realism with fantastic magic in a game set in a huge post-apocalyptic underground network of shelter caverns.

(no offense to you Petros, this is really just for comparison reasons based on the paragraphs themselves)
The first tells:
Protagonists
Antagonist
Relative Ages
Setting
Concept
Gist of Plot
Reasons Behind Plot
Genre/Game Type Thingie...

The second tells:
Setting
Concept
Genre/Game Type Thingie...

I just don't have flashy adjectives, cause I don't really think they're that important, I'm not trying to sell anything...

But anyway I can see where you're coming from, I'm gonna get a thread up as soon as a title comes to me (and I finish figuring out the characters)

 

[Kiriashi]

Bah. I guess I'm not looking into it as far as I should.

I'm better at determining my opinion with more text to read.

Pictures are always nice too. xD

 

[Velocir_X]

Pictures are always nice too. xD

I think those are a long way off...

 

[Kiriashi]

Oh of course! I was just suggesting it for later advertis- I mean for later.. umm... use...

 

[Crystalgate]

Your skills: Database. Figuring out which stats characters, monsters and skills should have to accomplish the desired effect. I can also do some minor scripting, namely changing the damage and to-hit algorithm.
Your preferred game type(s)/genres: RPGs.
How much time can allot for this over the next 2 months?: I have a lot of free time right now, so in theory a lot. In practice it depends on how much diligence I can pour into databasing.
