Hello people !

I didn't see any place to present myself (tell me if I just missed it ^^) so I do it now:

 Aé Li  : French PhD student irl and on my free time, manager of the developing  team of a little french RPG browser game : www.nacridan.com

I come here to present a part of our team work and to propose to anyone who want to kill some time while being useful to a community to participate.

First a few words about the project :

A first version of this game has been running since 2006 but it is very limited, both graphically and from the game-play point of view. The original developper gave up and opened the sources. A team mainly composed of players decided to create a second version. It is a community project in the sense that we encourage people to contribute, even with one little work, and it it enough to appear in the credits.
This is a medieval-fantasy world with a invasion of monsters, quite standard but the version 2 will have very good illustrations for an amateur project. And specific game-play and original role-play background.
Don't hesitate to visit our illustrations section if you like other form of art than Pixel Art.

Dessin & Art
 
Here are some examples of illustrations to give you an idea of the universe :

Landar the Dark, one of the city :

 
 Water Snake


Dwarf


Dorane (the only original race of the game)



Now, let's go to the thick of things, I came here because we do have Pixel Artists, but much less than illustrators. It seems that good Pixel Artists are not that common.



Here are their first work:


Big hill (line : Belette, colors : Bob aka Exar)



A few monsters:

Water Snake (line : Belette, colors : Adrien)


Red Dragon (line : Belette, colors : Bob)


Saber Spider (line : Belette, colors : Bob)


First version of a thatched cottage (line and colors : Bob)


Ruby deposit (temporary version, modif of an AoE 1 gold mine by myself, before an totally original one)


If you want to participate with one or more work just post your production here and say if you want to have your name and blog/or website in the credits. Of course, you can also create some monsters inspired by this univers just for this forum and don't want to have them used in the game. In that case, just say so and have fun.

For the land tiles :

Size : exactly the size of the hill above, the best is to take this one and modify it to be sure.
Type : ocean, grass, mountain, marsh, paved ground, snow ground, desert, beaten earth ground

For the buildings :

Size : 80x100, cf the cottage above. You can add some shadow if you want.
List of buildings : Temple, School of Magic, School of Warriors, Inn, Shop, Artisan Guild, Palace, Prison

For the monsters:

Size : 72x72, cf above
List of monsters : we have a long list of monsters and the descriptions are in french. I am not even sure to have the right to post here so I will wait for a confirmation before translating the list.

Okey ! Thank you for those who managed to read this long presentation.

P.S. : Please forgive the faults in my English.
