Realms Collaboration

Hello, it is Informinity here. The current project that I am working on is called Realms. The concept for it is to design an RPG game that has fast paced gameplay. It is based off of the browser game Realm of the Mad God (RotMG), but that game has no story at all. So Realms would take gameplay that is similar to RotMG but add in an enriching story and other additional game elements.

How did I get here?

The idea of making a RotMG remake has been in my head ever since I played the game, and I created my first remake of it about 6 months after I started scratch. It was very basic, with the inventory being the most complex portion. I created three versions after this, and the one I am (or have been) working on currently is seen in the picture above. Sure, it may look decent, but it took me almost a year and a half to get here.

Reaching Out for a Collab

The current version has taken me the longest time to make, but I am not sure if I like where it is. So I am thinking making a the final 5th version, but have it be polished and professional. This 5th version will have to be planned out greatly. My idea was creating a collab so more people could work on it, and not only complete the project faster, but also to make certain jobs easier. Some people have strong suits in coding, others in graphics. I have always been a programmer myself, but I have gotten used to working on art. But because of this, the time adds up working on all the aspects of the game. The more people working on the game, the less stress there is on each developer.

Here is the link to the actual collab studio for Realms: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/2908781/projects/

What Positions are Needed:

• Graphic Designers for Maps (0/2) - Preferably having previous experience in pixel art specifically
  

• Programmer for Cloud Saves (0/1) - This could easily be part time, as you would just have to implement cloud save and load, and only return to it if there are issues
  

• General Programmer(s) for Game (0/1-?) - Programming assingments can be distributed between these programmers and myself
  

• Procedural Generation Programmer (0/1) - Has experience with making procedural generation scripts, such as making a procedurally generated dungeon (Which is what will be needed for the game)
  

• Storyboard Developer (0/1) - General person to design the general storyline in the game, but the story could also be discussed between the rest of the developers
  

• Game Testers (0/2) - Should be good at testing games, trying to find glitches and exploits, and reporting them to the rest of the group. This is more important than some people may think. It is meant to be a serious position, not just a way to play the game before release or before updates release.
  

• (Later) Possibly a Programmer for Cloud Multiplayer (0/1) - Cloud multiplayer may not be added, but it isn't determined fully yet

Final Word

What I am looking for is a small but solid team of skilled developers that can work on Realms and get it finished quickly, but still keeping it polished, organized and professional. It would also be fantastic to have the group stay together and advance onto further new games after Realms is completed and released. If you have any questions, you can also leave them down below, or even included them in your form.

Also: So for if we should remake the game from the ground up or just stay where it is…

Once we actually have a group of developers set in stone, this should be the first topic that we discuss. My vote is that we start from scratch. No pun intended, lol.

Bump :[

Really wouldve expected 1 reply by now.. at least even a question…

I am more than happy to help with the story line if needs be.

I could also do general programming and game testing but I would rather do the one above due to the fact that I get distracted and I am not always too active and the top one can be planned anytime

hours: preferably weekends but I can help afterschool, sometimes

greatest accomplishment= https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/97514049/ or scratch world (collabed with @ryandxxx and @calcast for coding)

I also have experience with collabing and I started programming at an early stage. I taught myself high level maths in year 5. I have aspergers syndrome (albeit weak) and several of my friends scratch too so I can get help when needed.

Ps you should start from scratch as you will have a team but still keep the old version up

I think we should start from scratch too. Although you should bring a few sprites and scripts with you.

I would offer in the weekends (for NZ) and maybe after school if I can.

I would like to be storyboard designer as it would suit me well for my purposes.

An example of my work might be this:https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/112217810/

I admit I'm not too strong in coding but I could overcome some problems. I'm filled with passion for doing it, plus would like to thank you SO much for making me and my friend kawaiitoychica honorable mentions. I will tell her about this as she is a pretty good coder.

Thank you so much!

Username: Sccar3

How many hours you a week you would offer to work on Realms: 4

Position: I would like to do programming. I think one of my strong-suits is fixing scripts that don't work quite as intended. This could partly fall under the Tester and the General Programmer positions. I'd also be glad to do general programming too, though.

Examples of your previous works: A relatively simple yet dynamic top-down game engine I made. It combines different movement mechanics for friendly vs. hostile areas.
The beginning of programming of Bat Invasion 2 (Bat Invasion 1 is almost 6 years old and relatively jenky, yet still functional).

Comments: This collab looks like it has much more potential than most others I've seen. The drafts that you've made already look really nice, so you obviously know what you're doing. I've never really been able to work with other Scratchers before as almost all collabs I've seen so far die before any real progress is made. Hope this one is different!

Pretty much, game tester and story designer :I, need more graphic designers and coders.
