It is interesting, this is type of project I work on. I signed up and played around some to check it out.
This game just took me back. It reminds me of the early Ultima games or Bards tale, I really enjoyed those.
I'm glad you like my creation. It's old, slightly buggy but I'm considering to make a 2.0 version by remaking the user interface from scratch and just keeping the game data (jobs, factions, map cosntruction etc).
I think we could work out something that benefits us both. Feel free to message me on these forums and we can discuss what items/amount you might want first and any possible long term goals, then we can break down price and payment options and see if it works for us. A variation of all those payment options might be viable as well.
Lets make the long term goal clear: the only piece of art or design that I want to keep is the logo. It took me a good deal of time to make and I'm quite fond of it. For everything else I want to redesign and remake it for better usability (Some things are just unacceptibly complex to understand atm)
Short term I can see a few milestones:
- ) Make a new (complete) icon set for abilites, jobs and factions.
- ) Make a new paper doll / avatar generator that works better than the current one.
- ) Make a new map tileset and add map buildings and functions
The paper doll / avatar is the one I'd like to start with, but it has alot of techinical limitations and requirements so it might be better to start with icon set for abilities, jobs and factions as those are relatively simple from a technical standpoint. (squares, transparent background)
I could give you some strong branding images and style with this, part of reason I illustrate now is games like this so thanks for asking.
Having an interesting branding would certaintly help make the game more unique and having interest in the game and new art for it would inspire me to work on it again.
In which end would you like to begin? As I said I have a bit of a limited funding (it's a hobby game) but I have a bit over 150k LTBc and more hopefully incoming as my articles gets published, so maybe that would be enough to start even though I totally understand that it is in no way enough for any extensive works.
If you would like a more direct means of conversation, you can talk with me on jabber (JID: [email protected]) or I could come online on IRC. We could also use this forums private messages or talk in this forum thread - I'm online and available a good amount of hours every day :)
