Title: Touhou RPG Project
Post by: DDRMANIAC007 on February 08, 2011, 05:21:10 PM

I've been wanting to create a Touhou RPG for some time now. I have come to the realization that I can't possibly do this by myself.
I plan to have a concept video up by next week if all goes well. I'll need some help as this is my very first game project, and it's a very promising concept. It will use the RPG Tankentai ATB battle system.
I'll need:
A character and enemy spriter, story and plot help, an action sequencer for the RPG Tankentai ATB battle engine, map design, tileset design, etc.
My preferred method of contact is through Skype. My Skype name is omfg007. Post on this thread first though so I know who I'm talking to. Feel free to ask any questions here or through Skype.

I'd be glad to help out with the story. My mapping abilities are... above average, I guess?
Also, this is the first time I've heard about that battle system. Could you describe it?

My Skype username is Karanum. Feel free to contact me whenever you want.
I can only send text messages for now though since my headphones are broken.  :V

Well, I'd love to see more Touhou RPGs and am thus inclined to help in any way possible, but I'm afraid I can only help with story and plot related things. (I might be able to handle concept art etc., but I'm terrible at spriting.  :V) Anyway, if there's anything I can do, I'd love to help.

But anyway, I can't wait to see where this project is going. Good luck!

Also, this is the first time I've heard about that battle system. Could you describe it?

ATB (Active Time Battle) battle system is a side-viewed battle system (as opposed to the Dragon Quest-style front-viewed one) most famously used by SNES and PSX Final Fantasies. It's quite enjoyable to play.

The Reimu sprite is terrible and the face is stolen from Touhou Labyrinth.

Here's what I have for plot at the beginning.

Reimu is cleaning up her Shrine. She hears something. Upon investigation, she discovers an outsider human.
I seriously need to brainstorm.

Another one. I'll keep an eye on you, hope you go somewhere.

Just out of curiosity. What kind of scripts are you using, aside from Tankentai? I see you've got woratana's Monster Book though.

I've been meaning to try out a Touhou RPG (though on Game Maker; RPG Maker is a TAD restrictive). I wish you luck.

For the name of the game, Touhou RPG Project just seems so perfect.

Story so far:

Reimu is sweeping around the shrine when she hears a cry for help. Upon investigation, she discovers an outsider human being attacked by Rumia. After Reimu defeats Rumia, she helps the human to the human village.

As for the human, I have big plans. Either he becomes the main hero, or the main villain. Not sure which yet.
