Title: Looking for Original Old and New Assets from RM2k3 for the EasyRPG Project.
Post by: jetrotal on January 18, 2022, 09:36:19 PM
EasyRPG Devs are working on their own Open Source RM2K3 editor, but they will need free (CC-BY/CC0) RTP compatible assets for it:

At first, they need replacement files (charasets, facesets, chipsets, etc),
that should be compatible with the OG RPG Maker Assets, but those assets should not look like a rip-off (copyright issues).

They are looking for both new assets just made for it, or older original assets you guys made.

Here's a guide explaining better what is needed:

Thanks in advance

Interesting idea! Normally I'd be pretty interested in the music side of this but I don't know how I feel - some of the original midis have become pretty iconic at this point and creating recognisable but not ripoff replicas would be extremely difficult. Plus, rm2k3 is easily available on steam now so it's not as difficult to get hold of as back in the day - but I guess your plan for making an open source version is to allow people to extend it.

Good luck with it!

You are right about the RM2K3 being avaliable. The thing is that only EasyRPG converts your RPG Maker game to a format that can be published on Android, Apple, and Browser.

There are all kind of crazy projects made with it, one of them transforms single player games, into mmo, like they are doing with Yume Nikki Games and Fangames:

And the most ironic story from EasyRPG, is that Kadokawa (the current owner of RPG Maker and Nicovideo) uses EasyRPG on their online gaming platform:

If I have some time over soon I could probably hammer out some charsets. Are you guys just looking for "replacement" or is brand new designs allowed as well?

The initial demand is for Replacement, But you have some freedom when making it, e.g.:

Here's a list of the assets that needs to be replaced:

All that said, We also accept original artwork outside the replacemente scope, so feel free to send any old or new material you have.
