  1. The secluded, fundamentalist nation of Horun is as close as ever to destroying the largest religious rebellion to ever fight back against the nation. The Seraph Rebellion, on it's knees, sends out two men to sneak upon a Horun trading vessel, and escape to the empire of Teris. Joseph and Aren "The Heretic" arrive on the shores of Teris, only to find themselves very close to the same village that they arranged a meeting with Prince Serin in.
     
     As the two would quickly find out, Teris isn't the peaceful country they thought it was. A war-torn nation bordering civil war and revolution, they have no choice but to side with the alchoholic revolutionary prince that the civilians call "The Red Brute". Under all means necessary, the pair of rebels must secure enough troops to help overthrow the Holy Empire of Horun. To do this, they soon discover, would require a series of well-planned assassinations, sabotage, and large-scale battles to put the Red Brute back on the throne...
     



     WHAT WE NEED:


    An Artist

    The Artist will be focused on creating the art assets the game will be used. You will need to be proficient in pixel art and character design, and you must be able to pump out art at a decent rate (3 sprites/week).

    A Musician/Sound Director

    Will be focused on creating the sound effects and music required. You don't need to have $4000 software, but you must be able to create nice-sounding 16-bit fantasy music.

    A Parallax Mapper 

    Will be going over and improving my maps to make the game's aesthetics much better. Must have experience in parallax mapping (And mapping in general).


    Scripter/Programmer

    Very very important. Will be helping create the core functions & features of the game. You must have a relatively high knowledge of scripting. I'm willing to accept scripters for smaller things, larger things, anything. 

    As far as payment goes, I'd suggest you go into this project expecting not to walk out with much. However, if things do indeed go as planned and this game gets greenlighted, I will most likely give you guys a cut of the money, but I can't guarantee that will happen. Don't count on it too highly.

     Gameplay:

    The gameplay will consist of mostly traditional rpg gameplay, with mild (and mostly optional) stealth sequences. I'm looking to make combat as deep and strategic as possible, while still remaining rather user-friendly and customizable, akin to Pokemon. The game will also be rather plot heavy, and semi-open world. Another important aspect is text-based diplomancy. You will have no choice but to talk your way out of issues sometimes. Another biggie is that the game will be very much so focused on character progression and customization.

     Screenies:





    (I understand the mapping is pretty bare-bones right now (I haven't really begun the detailing stage), and the characters are still rtp. Those are some of the things I'm looking to change with this thread. Love you all~ <3)
