New Megadrive/MegaCD rpg, PIXEL help needed!

Hello

I'm here as a member of the "eidolon's inn tavern rpg" dev-team
For those who don't know, Eidolon's Inn was one of the biggest research/resource website about sega and some peoples there decided to make a rpg game with the community members.

The project started in 2004, originally planned for megacd*.
Now, in 2007, with an almost finished toolsuite (map editor, script editor, monster editor, magic editor, item editor...), and almost finished engine, we can see the "exit of the hole" ^^

However, we really need some additional good sprites artists (to make characters, enemies/monsters) to attempt to finish the game.

We are also searching for talented inputs around cutscenes, backgrounds, and map design..

To those interested, skilled and very motivated, don't hesitate to contact me for more informations (héhé, i don't want to spoil anything on a public place).
MANY MANY thx!

One non-spoiling screenshot


*When I say "originaly planned for megacd", its because I made a cartridge version of the engine... In case we would see a real release (and i don't doubt it will be done, "i already bought the plastic cases", lol )

 

This looks pretty cool. Are all graphics going to be original? Somethinga bout all those shots remind me of the graphics in that chinese pirate rpg Barver Battle, but I'm sure it's not ripped from it..right?

 

Those are some NICE graphics there. Hope to see a release someday.

 

Thank you for your comments

Ho yeah, everything is original and made from scratch, music too (without any existing rpg in mind/reference, I want to precise that )...
I allocated an huge amount (percentage) of display-power to the backgrounds compared to many 16bit rpg, it should be possible to make unique things .

Thank you again

 

Looks good. I can't help out at all sorry (I know nought about stuff like that), just wanted to say keep up the good work, and keep us posted on how it progresses.

 

Thx for the comments, it's always good to have support even if its just written
Tulio uploaded some screenshots
For those who are interested haha! enjoy

Looking good!

 

Graphics are much better, the first one looked more like a Master System game. Pity it's an RPG though, a nice Shooter would have been much better.

 

The new screen shots are looking VERY NICE !!! Is there going to be a video of it running soon? I'd ove to see it in action.

Hmm is it just me, or did somebody rip a Chrono Trigger image in one of the screenshots ?

 

Fuck, that looks amazing. Cannot wait for a release.

"Hmm is it just me, or did somebody rip a Chrono Trigger image in one of the screenshots ?"

At the bottom of the page, screen shots used a RPGmaker set (for testing purpose)... So, yeah, maybe some RPGmaker fans ripped the gfx.
But all the current work is 100% original.

Thx for the comments

 

Looks to be pretty nice so far. Any chance of a demo preview release sometime in the future?

 

Pretty impressive :drool:

And there's only very few RPGs on this console, good idea to make one !

 

Yeah would like to know about a demo as well, doesn't have to be big, just a tutorial and a few battles.

 

Hi
Thx for your interest

There will be an interview published on sega-16.com soon... And inside some answers about a playable demo. Because, yes, there will be a playable demo at some point.

 

Awesome

Wow that looks great. It's exciting to anticipate a new mega drive game. Will you release a cartridge version for collectors?

 

Looks awesome now, wow. Can't wait for the demo. Any chance you could knock a couple of demo carts up?

 

"Any chance you could knock a couple of demo carts up?"
You mean, demonstration cartridges? Haha, that would be interesting, yeah... You wouldn't be able to save, probably

"Will you release a cartridge version for collectors?"
Héhé, you'll have to wait for the interview I heard it would be published on the 18th September on Sega-16

Thank you for the comments.

 

18th September? that's only just over a week away! I'm going to buy this one. Please don't get some no telent person to make the cover art like what happened to The Begger Prince. man, that looked ugly.
