Hello ladies and gents. Today the circus comes to town again but the juggalo clown wants to do something different.
>What is this?
In the Halloween ARF stream (https://arfm2.bandcamp.com/album/yume-may-we-be-here), we memed around a bit and somehow ended up with an outline for a full game. Wow! To put it short, we spun the tale of Mr. Skeltal (more on that soon) about halfway through, with each track representing a new event in Mr. Skeltal's life. The anons then got attached to the idea and said fuck it, let's make it a game.
>Why is this here?
As you can see this is entirely /mu/ related, don't worry. This thread is to attract talent, discuss the project, share assets. I'd personally like for this to be as much of a community effort as it can be, everyone is welcome to contribute just about anything except for the music, as we'll use the Yume/May We Be Here album as a soundtrack.
>What are the details?
The aforementioned outline/script as it relates to every track is here: https://pastebin.com/xR8fX8Ld. It needs to be expanded with at least one scene for every track.
The kind of game we initially have in mind is a VN, but that can be subject to change.
Also, we're looking for:
• Programmers (in a pinch I volunteer to use Game Maker to do it, but I wouldn't be able to do anything fancy without considerable difficulty)
• Artists (pic related, I can't do it alone and especially not using a mouse. It'd be nice if this was a quality production)
• Writers (fill in the gaps, maybe change some things in the pastebin)
• Anything else you think this project needs. I think there's a decent lack of groupies, for instance.
>How are we going to do it?
Assuming we do it as a VN, then we have 2 alternatives:
>Each scene is fully drawn by individual anons
Or:
>We make a couple sprites for each character that we reuse, only drawing the backgrounds
It'd be nice if we could have a Christmas deadline, but if we can't meet that deadline it's okay. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to start by expanding the pastebin to avoid confusion, and potentially having to restart production should a better idea/valuable anons come.
Have fun and post away! :^)
