The Adventures of Knux - RPG [HELP WANTED]

Guess I'll start this up with a, uh, hello! ...Hello!
Image
A (potentially) amazing game that started 2 days ago as of the day this was posted!
The features are:
• A cool storyline with fun miniquests and references! (We got like nothin')
• Custom and totally original enemies, along with a cast of loveabl...who am I kidding
• Items, attacks, moves and much more fitting of the TAOK universe!
• Unlockable comics and artwork, some of them unreleased-ish!
Wind: • valtteri as a fat fuck
Wind: • i don't fucking know


Me and Wind recently started working on a role-playing game based on the (in)famous webseries that you've probably seen. We're using RPG Maker VX Ace for this.
There's a handful of obscene language in this project, just warning in advance.

Screenshots have been updated!

More smexy screenshots

So Wind and I (who by the way share a dropbox folder just sayin') have both been working on some of the game's graphics, events, mechanics, scripting and overall "stuff".
Personally I'm going for a 100% custom (within graphics) game to give it the slightly shitty drawn TAOK atmospheric. Simple, and not too much shading on stuff.
I'm really horrible at doing tilesets though, but seeing as this is the SMBX community, who do sprites, tilesets and creates stuff for stuff all the time, I figured asking you people wouldn't be too bad of an idea!

Our current helpers:
  • Panda (graphics)
    Valtteri (graphics, music)
    Magibowser (graphics)
    Ace (graphics, music)
    Danny (graphics)
    TheLordKhon (graphics)
Let us know if you want to help or if you got anything to say at all! Thanks!

I definitely wouldn't mind helping out. Drawing the window faces and such would be great - would it be like PMD, where they all have different expressions and such?

This game's gonna be sexy.

I think Valtteri should have an attack where Elsa appears and freezes foes.

Don't remind me of Mystery Dungeon urgh that ending gets me so dzdzdzdzdfrg
But yes. Like PMD. If you feel like putting extra attention to detail into stuff, you could give every character a slightly different hairstyle, for those who have hair. Like, not super-noticably different, just a little bit. My hair for example is a bit like the top of a tomato. When drawing Valtteri you could go for his classic slick hair used in the panel where he does his O_o face. Still not sure wether the faces shold be drawn in a pixely manner of fashion or something more modern. But the enemies should stay with pixels though since that's how we've started them.

To me, it looks like a mix of Earthbound/Mother and Fire Emblem.

Also, ideas:
Mammoth (enemy)
Mariu (enemy)
Joey (boss, possible final boss)

I like the idea of that, since then it doesnt just look like I've copied and pasted a base for each character.
Whenever you need anything just PM me c:

Mostly tilesets and other gfx.

Here's something I made one time, maybe you can look at it.

I can make different types of tilesets if that's what you're interested in, the one I made above is more for side-scrolling games or something like that.

Even though what you made above is for a plaformer, it might fit as an overworld rocky ground floor as well. Tilesets and all of that stuff is what we're lacking, I'd say your help is just what we need. :>

Yes but I have no idea where and when and what to start.

Also my avatar is something I whipped up but it's nothing you guys need.
