Alright im starting a new game in VX, and realized that im never going to be able to do everything all alone, do to my ADHD :P The game will be called the Pandora Saga.
I need:
1) A fellow writer.
2) A mapper who is familiar with RPGVX, although i dont think my maps are that bad :P
3) A Musician! I need custon tunes!
4) A spriter. I used the Famitsu Generator and the Faceset generator, but you never know.
5) Pretty much anyone else who wants to help ;D
Alright here's the background to the story:
Some things from the story:
Many years ago, the Gods decreed that one among them, Saroc, had become tainted, and he was sealed in the Cathedral of Flames. Saroc had only moments to prepare for this, and he managed to release one tiny piece of his essence into the world, in the form of a sword. This sword, Satair, was last seen flying towards the low hills.
Saroc’s essence itself split when Satair was formed, one half of his spirit lodging in the blade, the other released into the air. Saroc swore that his essence would find the heir to his power, the one destined to free him and take revenge on the gods.
The Gods themselves knew to fear Saroc’s anger, so they sealed him in haste, not realizing that Saroc had already died from the effort of releasing his soul into the world. Satair, the Dark Sword, would be the only thing that could revive Saroc. The Gods began a hunt for Satair.
Before their hunt, one of the Gods, Saroc’s sister Farina shed her soul as well, creating the Blade of Light, or Farain, known as the Sister Blade. Satair became known as the Brother Sword. Both had last been seen near the low hills.
The Gods now numbered three: Hilais, the High God of Earth, Kera, Goddess of the Water, and Geront, God of the Wind. Saroc was the God of Darkness, and Farina was the Goddess of Light. The God of Fire, Megiddo, had gone missing several thousand years before, and presumed dead.
The low hills were the border between Pharne, the blessed land, and Lyssan, the forsaken land. It is said, that as the Gods watched, the two swords split directions, one flying east into Pharne, the other jerking west into Lyssan. Since the blades were identical, the Gods knew not which went where.
The Gods soon grew weary of their search, and charged humans with finding the Brother and Sister Blades for them. They placed a warning, only one could touch the Brother Sword without dying on the spot, just as only one could touch the Sister Blade without dying.
No one knows which two humans can wield the Brother and Sister Blades, but Saroc stated a date for his revival, two hundred years in the future. The Gods only prayed he was wrong.
The good guys:
Helix: Age: 19 Wield: Sword, Spear, Axe, Bow. A soldier in service to Sihlfeld’s Royal Armada, because of a bet he lost. Obsessed with luck, Helix often decides to kick back and leave it up to fate to solve his problems, much to Nala’s dismay.
Finea: Age: 21 Wield: Sword. A renowned knight, and Helix’s captain, Finea is cold and affectionately called “The Heartless General” by Helix. She is not cruel however, and is an optimist deep, deep inside.
Arcet: Age: 19 Wield: Staff, Rod. Aeryn’s older brother, and well known healer. He joins Helix and Finea only to save Aeryn and Aile, and remains with them when Aeryn stows away in their bags.
Taure: Age: 15 Wield: Bow. Taure is a poor village boy, with a connection to Lord Zhallon that not even he understands. Taure sees kindness in everyone, and averts more than one disaster for Helix.
Nala: Age: 18 Helix’s love interest. Nala is very serene, and graceful, although not a major character in the story, she greatly influences Helix, so I thought it best to add her.
The "bad guys"?
Zhallon: Age: 20-30s? The antagonist in the game. Zhallon has no hunger for power or greed, he simply wants to bring forth an evil power, thinking he is strong enough to control it. He wants to use this power to stop some event of great calamity that his brother Zann has foreseen.
I intend for the Pandora Saga to be three seperate games, Game One is called Helix, Two is Aeryn, and Three is Ember. All thee are named after their respective main charachters. Ill have screenies up in about 5 minutes considering all goes well.
-
Organize plz.
-
There i organized it a bit :P Let me know if it's still confusing.
-
The story part needs MAJOR organization.
-
Is that better? :P I hope s because I dont know what else to do.
-
Sorry for the double post, but I have pictures.

Taure-(http://pandorasaga.webs.com/$Taure%20Face.bmp)
Still working on in game screenshots, my comp isnt co-operating :P
-
Finea needs to check up on her dental hygiene. Her pearly whites aren't looking very pearly.
...Or white.
-
Yeah I know! I actually edited her teeth TWICE and they still dont look white, but when theyre talking its against a black background, so I hope the contrast is enough to make them look nice.
-
Wish I could help, but I know absoloutly nothing about VX, and I suck at mapping in general.
I might be able to help out with spriting. Just depends on what it is you need.
-
Muraiko! It's been forever! Yeah, for spriting I kinda have to wait and see, depends on what route the game takes. Ive got a few pics im putting up in a second, and actually I could have a demo up today.
And i have new screenies. I completely re-did all of my charachters, using Kaduki resources, and I think it eliminates all, erm, cosmetic issues.

finally, something i can actually HELP with! i'd be willing to help out as a writer if you'd like. I'm pretty good...i think. if you need help with anything just ask me! working on my game is kinda monotonous, and it'd be nice to mix things up by helping someone else.
uhhh....do you need samples? EX is the first game i plan on posting, and all of my old game data was left on my old comp :P
-
I dont really need one of your samples. Essentialy, ill just give you a situation from the game, and let you design the event however you want, and when ur done, ill have you email me the results, or another method of file transfering. I just want to give you one as a little test, but dont worry you cant fail, I just want to see your style. The website for the game is in my signature, it also has my contact information.
-
I can help you with your writing, if you want
Although my VX vanished off my computer, so I wouldn't be able to help you with anything else
-
New Helix looks like Grandy. :O
-
I know. I thought of grandy when i first saw the faceset on the site he got it from. lol.
-
I don't know who Grandy is. What's he from? By the way, demo is finished, just working out the last few bugs.
-
Awesome, I'd like to play it, but for some reason, my computer won't play VX games.
It keeps saying it can't find the RTP, even though I downloaded it already. I'll be willing to try again though, after you post up your demo.
-
I don't know, maybe the games you've tried didn't include the RTP? I'm not sure, but that sucks.
Demo will be up today, even if the game doesn't want to co-operate, i'll have it up in an hour at most.
-
Unfortunatly, my computer has deleted Pandora Saga. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :guns: (My computer)
Yes, however, each file, except for maps, events, items, variables, switches, etc, basically every resource is still around, saved to my Removable Disk. Unfortuantly, ill have to ask a Moderator to delete this thread.
-
Sorry to hear that hawk.
-
DAMN THAT COMPUTER TO THE FIERY PITS OF HEEELL
-
Believe me, when i get a new one, instead of selling this one, i'm beating it with a hammer. :D :D :D :D :D
