Having been a fan of the Discworld comedy series of novels by Terry Prachett for years i decided to embark upon the quest of creating my own 2d rpg based in that universe.

The story is set in the great (some would call it an inkstain) city of Ankh-Morpork. the games city layout is being based around the design of the infamous Discworld Mud. A map of its Ankh-Morpork can be found here.

As you can see the city is very large and varied. And theres going to be extensive interior and underground maps of the games own direction. The background for the story is that a plague has caught the city and just maybe you'll get involved in it all or maybe you'll find a hundred other things to do. Maybe you'll join the Unseen University or perhaps join the Watch. It's for you to decide.

The plan is to make this a true rpg with the chance to choose your name, race and the ability to join at least a dozen guilds.

I've already begun to make a few maps, but i think the game has a much better chance of making it off the shelf if i get a team together. So here i am. You know a bit about the game's background and the plan for it.

Now i'm looking for pixel artists (charactersets and tilesets). At the moment i honestly couldn't say if it'll be free or P2P (this would involve contacting Terry Prachett). But if it does sell the money will be distributed equally. All 'discussed' expenses for the project will be paid for by me.

Pertaining to the Forum Rules; there is no company name and once the project begins a professional web designer and a close friend has offered to involve themselves in the project by designing a site. I have also talked with the Production Head of 1D Productions (a group which makes 2d games) and they are interested in adopting the project once i have assembled a core team.

At the moment i'm simply planning to use RPG Maker XP but we'll see what this post turns up I hope to get replies soon. If you have a any questions don't hesitate to ask either here or at my email address: anu8is@gmail.com

how many tiles do you need, and how detailed do you need them? would you need pixeled shops and stores?

you have me all interested now. i may want to help, too.


one more question, though. how big do you need your characters to be?

thanks!

i'll help with the project where i can, but my schedule is hectic. give me something small first (and preferably scenery, as i'm no character artist) so you can see if i'm what you need for the game. :)
