WIP: Kirby RPG (working title), Progress: >1% complete

ATTENTION! Developers please register an account in the official game forum! The link is below.

Seeing that there are no Kirby RPGs out there (except for the Kirby Warrior games, but they don't offer copy abilities), I wanted to try and make one with Game Maker 7. Currently I'm working on the story. Original enemy has been binned; Instead, Nightmare will be revived and steal the Star Rod.

The team:

Lead Developer (1):
Captain Cook
Yup, it's me. This basically means that I'm your coach. I'll also be working on planning (duh) and programming, although I'm not listed below.

Planners (3/3):
Dr. Light (Mewizkuit)
Yoshbert 1-Ups (Yoshbert)
kane]deth[
Planners will help me with the storyline, concieve abilities, etc.

Programmers (3/3):
phazonluigi
Im4everkool
Bistian(LordBistian)
Programmers will program the engine itself, enemies, items, abilities, etc. There's going to be a lot to program, so I will probably be allowing more people.

Level Designers (3/3)
kane]deth[
XutaWoo
Bistian(LordBistian)
Level Designers will, well, design levels.

Spriters (3/3):
iceinwar (The Rockers koopa)
Sparker the Pikachu
Black Boo
Okay, I don't always do well in this category, so I'll need help from good spriters. I might also need tilesets, so I may eventually allow more people for this.

Music Designers (2/3):
strong414bad
Dr. Light (Mewizkuit)
Newtkid304

Music Designers will select MIDIS (or sequence them) for the game. The amount of work needed depends on how many things I need from scratch.

Beta Testers (5/5):
bambam95
Im4everkool
XutaWoo
demon_masta
iceinwar (The Rockers Koopa)
Beta Testers will find any bugs I or another programmer missed during development. How's that for a great job? You get to be on the credits for just playing the game!

Current # of People accepted (including myself): 15
Total Jobs available: 0/20

We are not accepting more people right now.

FORUM: http://kirbyrpg.ipbfree.com/ (Note: I'm still setting this up. Register and be patient, your mod status will come.)

For proof that we're actually working on a game, I took this screenshot. This is a picture of Engine Test 0.0.0.3. Currently it is not available to the public.

I'm turning this into a WIP topic, because I'll likely upload the engine here.

CURRENT PROGRESS: Engine development.

beta tester please

So what are you doing to help.
Or is this a "make a game for me thing"?

How much am I getting paid?

I couldn't find that sentence, thanks.

I can be a planner if you need me. I love Kirby games!
I would help with something else, but I don't have GM 7...

I'll be a beta tester I guess. I might be able to come up with a few Ideas too. But yeah, Beta Tester!

I'd like to be a planner, too.

a kirby-fan game! I've seen practically none of these. I would help, but I do not have GM 7. I wish you guys best of luck!

Edit, heres an example.

I can probably help with attaining sprites and such. (Bosses, Kirby sprites, and the like...)

(I'm also pretty good with editing a basic sprite)

I'll do level design. Also, if I can do two things, I want to beta test as well.

I can sprite.

Is Kirby going to have items to allow him to use abilities? I could sprite those too.

Basically, I can sprite non-complex stuff, like waddle Dee, Items, Kirby, stuff like that.

Wow. I just mention "Kirby RPG" and people flock to my thread. XD

Sparker the Pikachu: Accepted.

XutaWoo: Welcome!

Black Boo: Hop Aboard. (Oh wait, he's a boo.) Um... float aboard?

I'll collect right now with some footnotes and PM them to you. Or should I show them here?
