(This is a revhshare project btw)
Hello all! We are the team of First Issue, a Superhero Turn Based RPG made in RPGMaker MZ. We've been working on this project for 5 months now, and as we increase our production speed, extra hands is appreciated. Our current team consists of a programmer / writer, Artist, Animator, and Music Composer / SFX. We are looking for a pixel artist to help with Tilesets, character art, character portraits, and really whatever else is needed.

Here is the concept art that has been made for the game so far, alongside the title screen, and some of the pixel art

We have an art bible, although it's somewhat incomplete. This is the general style that we are looking for.

Here's our character overview, detailing each character, and their associated team

And finally, the story of the game

Here's some animation examples from the animator

One made in aseprite (visualization before we properly make it)

An unused attack animation

An actual skill animation (was just shared with me today actually)

Gameplay wise, our battle scene is extremely unfinished right now. Our combat currently uses QTE's for each move, think Mario and Luigi style, where if you input the correct button at the correct time, you deal more damage. You can also parry enemy attacks, negating it. (It was mainly inspired by the parrying of Lies of P, but evolved into something more akin to Expedition 33, despite none of us playing the game. It just looks really cool.)

Here's some gameplay clips... as you can tell, very much a WIP

The UI, however, is mostly complete there. You can also see some WIP animations by our lovely animator. We use rigged animations, then port them to spritesheets. If you have experience making battle VFX, that would be amazing, but obviously not a requirement. (ALL The chibi guys are RPGMaker stock assets, and not actually our own assets. Same for the guy with the sword. Please refer to the art bible for the actual artstyle.)

Here's the hub theme for the game, made by our composer

^We have a couple other songs done right now, but this is one of the most important. Our composer also makes SFX for us sometimes!


This game is one of passion and love, and if this seems to match your vibe then please dm me either on here or on discord (which we use for the game), my username is .verypeachy on there (don't forget the dot!)

We would have a small entrance test, just making like a tree and a grass tile.

Have a nice day! - VeryPeachy
