:: Introduction ::
Hello everyone!

I'm an indie game developer, an IT graduate and hoping to break into gaming industry with my first game project, a religious-educational RPG which combines a lot of elements from many genres, such as Side Scrolling, Trading Card Games, and RPG itself.

The demo of this game is being constructed as we speak. Me and my lead programmer is developing the game engine and concepts. Unfortunately, this game will only be distributed throughout Indonesia, which means there'll be no English version or other languanges for the time being. After the game engine was done I'll release the English patch for the game.

Because this game will be distributed as a freeware, so the production budget will be less or more, a pea. That's why we're rounding-up every help and contribution that we can get.

Contributors will be fully credited for their works. We even planned to add 'Gallery Mode' feature so that every player can enjoy the artworks in the game as well as we do. A profile space with brief explanation will be built for every contributor.



:: The Game ::
The game takes place in two timeframes, the present world and the past, ancient world. The story revolves around the Ten Paramitas (Holy Aspects) in Buddhism. Being the descendant from one of the Ten Guardian, our main character will be able to travel through time to restore balance and protect the Holy Aspects from corruption. Through the ancestor's teaching, the main character will be able to call forth entities to help him/her purify every opponent, ranging from gods to demons.

The gameplay is a combination between a platformer, TCG, and RPG.
The world and the characters will be rendered in full 2D side-scrolling environments. Players will be using cards to battle enemies. And the RPG concept, which enable the development of the characters, the entangling storyline and non-linear events.



:: The Art Direction ::
I'm trying not to boss around in this section, I'm gonna give some guidelines so you don't waste your efforts drawing artworks that will never be used in the game, because it's bad for both of us.
First I'm gonna state that this project accept contributions in anime-style only. Second, i'll explain about the culture, as I stated before, this game will take place in modern world and ancient times.

Modern world that I'm talking about is the current world, a world without super-android, laser beam and nanomachines transformation.. The outfit styling is free, but it's a better if it's oriental.. You can fantasize a little about the current world, but it's better be a magical/mythical fantasy than a hi-tech thingy.

The ancient world will takes place in an fantasy oriental country that portrays ancient India, of course to spice things up we'll add some fantasy and magical elements to the civilization. Tribal and ancient fashion trends is a huge advantage for your artworks.

:: Contributions ::
The next question is 'I'm interested, but what kind of contribution can I made?'
Here's what our Visual Department need your talent for..

• Character Design - [ Main / NPC / Creature ] Designing characters that will be used in the game, whether it's an ally or a villain, from some tiny cute one to big scary one.


• Item Design - [ Equipment / Item / Card ] Designing stuffs that will be used throughout the world, from the trading cards that will be used in battle screen, potions and charms, and all the main characters' equipments.


• Level Design - [ Level Map / Level Artwork ] Landscaping the world where the game takes place. From extravagant field map to shaddy interior of the tavern.


• Pixel Artist - Transform beauties into lovely pixels.


• Event Artwork - Draw the breath-taking final battle artwork, the fateful encounter scene, and other storyline-driven scenes throughout the game. Temporary unavailable because characters' design is in progress.
