Title: Touhou Fan-RPG WIP (aka: HELP!!!)
Post by: Zero Izayoi on September 20, 2011, 05:37:00 PM

Hi. For some time I've wanted to make a Touhou-themed RPG using RPGMaker VX, but I always run into this one tiny problem. I SUCK AT PIXEL ART! I have every other skill needed to make this work except for the character designs.

This is where you guys come in :)

I'm looking for somebody to help me with the pixel art for the game I'm making. I'm fine with the character graphics, scripting (code and storyline), and everything except the actual character models. :/

They'd have to be arranged in groups like this for battle sequences and the like:

I really want to pull this off, and I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

Thanks,
Aisaka.

do you actually have a proof of concept or screenshots or a build or anything solid yet

likely nobody will jump on board unless there's already significant effort being put into it and such

A collection of pixel art for a game that has been dropped is the saddest thing to happen to the pixel artist. I hate to be pessimistic, but most one person teams that attempt to make RPGs fail to finish producing their games. I know this first hand from my own attempts at games, from a team that fell apart, and from watching people come and go on these forums. Because of this, I'd like encourage you to just use placeholder graphics. Whatever that graphic you have there as an example is good enough for now. Use it and worry about proper graphics in the future.

Are you willing to convert rpgmaker xp sprites to VX? If so I can lend you all the character sprites I have (and that is all the windows characters that aren't in ten desires and a few pc 98 characters). If you are wondering what they look like then here is a sample (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/aunkorien/ichirin.png)

I actually have RPG Maker 2000, 2003, XP, and VX, so YEAH! That sounds great! I'll just make it on XP then :). That's perfect, actually, because I would have asked specifically for a pre-made charset, but I didn't know if there was one.

Thanks!

Since you have the story elements under control, what can you tell us about the game in terms of story?
