So, Crysis99 and I are recruiting people to help us create a doujin fighting game. The idea I currently have in mind is a hybrid system, take the general design of Melty Blood, and mix it with the system of Ougon Musou Kyoku minus the metaworld. We are thinking of having story mode play out ADV style like Melty Blood, plus your normal modes such as arcade mode, practice, ect.
We are in need of other members for this project, currently I serve as art director and background designer, Crysis said he might be able to handle some programming, and Rooke is helping with the story. We have nothing really started, basically we are still in the design phase.
We need artists to design characters, someone who can animate the sprites, some more people to help with the story/dialogue, and a few people who can program a 2d fighting game engine.
Any volunteers would be appreciated.
We have an IRC channel set up for the people working on it to discuss things and make communication easy.
Update:
We now need the following things:
1. An artist who can draw anime styled characters, since we will be working with 2d sprites.
2. Anyone with even a little experience programming in mugen or renpy.
3. An artist who can help me make backgrounds or cg's.
4. One other person who can write scenarios.
Rooke is editing the story we have so far, when he is done I will post the synopsis of the game's story in this thread.
