Hey guys, I'm recruiting team members for a project I've been working on for a while. Send me an email if you're interested in joining.

Team name:
Undecided

Project name:
BattleStone

Brief description:
The game is a 2D Japanese style turn-based RPG set in a fantasy world. (Think Breath of Fire, Suikoden I or II, early Final Fantasy)

The story is revolves around an on going war between humans and elves, and an ancient ruin known as the BattleStone. The stone was found during the last 100 years of the war, when the current emperor was on his campaign in the heart of the Elven homeland. Since then a cease-fire has been called, and the people enjoy a temporary piece. The stone is now in hands of the emperor’s top mages, who research franticly trying to unlock the secrets behind its’ crystal walls. Ark, a young soldier in the imperial army, is about to be assigned a new mission, one that will change his life forever.

Target aim:
Freeware or shareware.

Technology/Engine:
Home brewed engine

Compensation:
None. Sorry, this is volunteer work for the time being.

Talent needed:
2D artists
2D animators
Concept artist
C++ Programmers

Check http://www.battlestone.net/helpwanted.htm for more information.

Additional information:
I’ve been working on the idea for a few years now. I have written over 170 pages of dialog for the game (which is about 90% complete), along with a design document. I have put a lot of time and effort into this idea, so I am very series about it.

Battle demo flash:

http://www.battlestone.net/battle.swf

Playable Battle demo! This is a prototype build of the battle system our programmer put together. It has some graphical issues and there aren’t any sound effects yet, but it’s fully playable. With some help we hope to polish this up and add a lot more features.

It’s also worth noting that the final build of the battle system won’t be from the isometric view as shown in the demo, we’re switching to a side view (think Valkyrie Profile if you’ve ever played it) for aesthetic purposes.

Here’s an example of how the characters will look from the new battle view:

Thanks for looking! Help us make this game come to life!

is DX being used?

Bedlam · 08-22-2007, 09:02 PM

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what DX is. If it's a technical term I could ask our programmer for you if you want.

Dennis56 · 08-22-2007, 10:01 PM

I think he meant Direct X, right?

Bedlam · 08-28-2007, 06:09 AM

Yes we are using Direct X if that's what you were referring to.
