Taco the Imp RPG project! (Title pending)
Platform: PC
Engine: RPGMaker XP with RUBY encoding.
| Story |
| Based on the (to be released) second storyline of the Taco comic book entitled "Play Demo: Yes/No", Taco is forcibly thrown onto a medieval world by the Incompletes, a mysterious group that wishes for the Earth to be rid of the magikless sentient creatures that are humans. |
The game will be much longer than the comic book's storyline and should be considered more or less "Gaiden" (Think the difference between Pretty Soldier and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon).
Playable Characters: Taco, Jalapeno, Tamale, Enchilada, ?????? (Yet to be unlocked)
| Status |
| Graphics: RPGMaker XP base graphics, but I need to redraw every in-battle graphic. What I mean by that is that if I use a Lamia, I need to redraw the Lamia in my style. I also need to sprite up the Gaellic Imps themselves. |
| Music: Commons Creative License Based music as much as possible. |
| Scenario: in progress. More info in the Helpers section. |
What you can do to help:
There are two ways you can help. These are known as Donators and Helpers.
| Donators |
| Role: Donating money. The money will be used at first to pay the 60$ license, then for music files. Any extra is always used for art supplies. |
|
Perks: Any amount "unlocks the Gallery", meaning you will get access to all concept art of the game. Character specs, monsters, backgrounds, the whole shibang. 5$ or more a pop "unlocks the waipapers", waipapers based on the heros of the game, in beautiful Sepia tone will be available at each 5$ or more donations. By the end of the project, Donators will recieve a free download of the game and are thanked in the end credits. |
| Helpers |
| Role: Helpers are required to learn (or to already know) Ruby, and to know how RPGMaker XP works. We all know it's impossible to make a game alone, afterall. Helpers are in charge of dungeons and towns, both in design and in programming. They are given a dungeon and/or town, the necessary basic info needed (Lvl of dungeon or town, dialogue, race of citizens, etc) and are then told to go nuts following these guidelines. |
|
Perks: Helpers get similar perks to the Donators, but will also get a hardcopy of the game (including booklet if possible) and are credited by name, website, and by what they did in the game. Helpers will not get their perks before their assigments are over, debugged and submitted. |
I invite any possible Helpers to study Ruby and to get a copy of RPGMaker XP to learn. I am currently doing concept art and it will take quite a while to redraw everything, take your time and make sure you understand.
I want the RPGTaco project to be a joint, collaborating effort. Taco is made to be played with, toyed with, written for by other people. Invent more Imps. Stick in your own non-human characters as NPCs. Make this project come alive with thousands of non-anonymous NPCs.
