[Collaboration] STE∆M: An RPG [HIRING!]

STE∆M Will be a game I am making, it will be an RPG. All of the stuff I've been making can be found here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/36417418/

The game will be pretty open world, this is what I'm going to be aiming for:

10+ towns
A large overworld
50+ Weapons
Customization about characters
4+ characters
A unique story
Story and Sidequests

Contact me below for information, I'm thinking of possibly creating an account to share everything on, and possibly re-share the project on my Account, anyone who works on it can too…

Comment below if you want to join, tell me what job you want. Here they are:

Programmer wrote:

In order to become a Programmer, you will have to basically program the game, to make the stuff other's do become a finished project. As many as needed are requested, however, if you can do another job, we need some of everything. Programmers will be responsible for programming the characters, linking everything together, programming the scrolling of the map, collision detection. Text boxes, basically, turning it from a mess of graphics, sounds, and more into a finished project. If you are one, please do NOT steal code from other's projects. However, you can take code from your own projects.

Cutscene Maker wrote:

You will be anchorage of creating cutscenes of the game. Basic programming knowledge is needed. About 2 would be requested. You would be able to use code from the programmers, for text, etc.

Story Writer wrote:

The Story Writer's will be in charge of creating the story, and all story-related quests. Typically, one or two will be in charge of the regular story, and a third person for text boxes, etc.

Graphic Designer wrote:

While programmers will be really important, I'd like to have everyone who is good at pixel art design something or another, typically gameboy-advance/snes styled I guess for the graphic style. Use graphic styles that sort of fit with: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/36417418/

Music Maker wrote:

Whoever is in charge of this job, will be responsible for making a few tracks. A few tracks are required:

List of required tracks: wrote:

Overworld Theme
Title/Intro theme
Town(s) theme
Cave theme
Battle theme
Boss Battle Theme

Try to do a 16-bit-era styled music, please don't rip too much online. If you have to, you can rip like a 5-second clip if it fits. If needed, I have some tracks, but I'd prefer not to use them.

Thank you for considering this collaboration.

I'm going to giveaway what I've made for the story.

A young boy wakes up in a cave, He goes down some stairs, only to find a sword stuck inside a pedestal, all black. He picks it up, and a black light fills the cave, forming a monster. This will be the first boss of the game. He defeats it, and it drops a rope. The player goes up the stairs he came down. And, he uses the rope in an area indicated, returning to the surface.

This will be one of the many little quests, usually resulting in a mini-boss, and a puzzle or two. I'm working on the battle system, weapons, graphics, and all. However, while you can change your weapon, that weapon will most likely have some significance to the story.

If you think this is interesting, or have a few ideas, tell me!

Just to clarify for everyone:

You do not have to fill out any sort of forum or anything, just ask. 99% of the time, i'll let you in. The only reason why I might not would that I might have like 20 people working on that one thing that you wanted to do, and it would become a nuisance.

You can! What I've made so far can be found at that link above, it's not exactly the full game, but just where some of the stuff the game's mechanics will have will be.

I've been working on a second character! His name is Lucas. More plot details:

After leaving the cave, you arrive in a nearby town. I don't have a name yet… You see a burning house, in which Lucas will run out of, and will end up bumping into the player. Your main character, (Known as Thern currently…) decides to let the younger boy come along with you, as all you can really do is try to live a new life. Lucas will be a little bit weaker, but will run faster, having a higher speed trait.

Hmm… thinking of having something like this in the game:

A life-force that controls a lot in this world is known as STE∆M, coming from ancient times. It is designed to link the bodies and minds of Time and Space, and will allow you to do 2 things currently:

The first, will be time travel to the past, and the future. You will only be able to stay near the STE∆M Altar (Where you go) and you have to have enough STE∆M To get back to the present. You lose more the more influential you are, so just talking won't take up too much, to a regular npc. Besides that, you can change events in the game like this, and can gain more STE∆M by doing specific tasks (Undecided yet.) You will also get some when close to a STE∆M altar, in the present. You can choose which party members travel, extending one linked STE∆M meter, however, actions are more costly.

The second, will be STE∆M attacks. As I mentioned, STE∆M is a life-force. Because of this, each major boss and character has one STE∆M ability. They take up STE∆M, and a little bit of health, because of the life-force idea. Ok so, they will kind of be like the Summons of a Classic Final Fantasy game, with a cutscene, and rarely used. They are more likely to be used on bosses, as they can be kind of rare.

I've come up with that much so far. Might make the story be with the Empire, as I'm calling the villain's now, being able to create STE∆M using a machine. They stab Lucas, and as Thern, you go and join the Rebellion. You will then go on some quests and all, and help out. Eventually, I'm planning that you destroy the machine, but it's produced STE∆M that's stored, (Quite a lot) will all be launched out, modifying people's minds, memories, and abilities. You then have to, in a destroyed world from a bunch of riots and an unbalancing in the STE∆M, try to settle things back down, by defeating people, and wounding people so that the STE∆M comes out. STE∆M comes out with either Blood, or Death, however, you will get a STE∆M ability that extracts the STE∆M, however, you might have to use this more then once on stronger enemies to reduce them to their normal forms.

That's all for now!

Made a thumbnail, it looks pretty nice! Got the little ∆ instead of the A. To do that, just copy that, or if on a mac, press option+j to get ∆… #STE∆M
