hey! this is idilio, lead developer of Solace; a story heavy fangame created with Essentials v.19, and our entry for RC's winter jam;
we currently have 1/4th of the game released as a beta!
Solace tells the story of a girl called Giselle, who finds herself chained to her every day life in the faraway island of Elisia; she constantly daydreams of being able to explore the world across the sea, but so far this dream of hers is slowly withering away. Giselle has, however, been in contact with someone from the outside world for a while now...
Unique Features:
The entire game was created with a 4 color palette in mind
Story-Heavy
Character sprites and portraits made from scratch
Chapter-based progress
we will currently take a small break to rest from the hectic limitations of the winter jam, but hopefully we can resume development in the following weeks.
Currently Recruiting (in order of importance):
- A person able to manage & work with events: This is our biggest priority. I personally know absolutely nothing about scripts or code, and barely anything about events. Solace has a couple scripts that are impossible for me to understand, and I desperately need someone to guide me through / help me utilize them. Proper understanding of RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials is crucial.
- Writers: English is not my first language, and even though we have a general idea of where we want to take the narrative of our game, I'm having a hard time tying up some pieces of our story to make it memorable and impactful, combined with my awful and underdeveloped skill of writing dialogue; writers represent the backbone of our project, and what truly will make it stand out in the long run.
- Mappers: Even though 95% of our project is mapped, I have to recognize that some areas could use a redesign to further allow the player to explore and interact with the world. My main concern is the way some puzzles were done; I personally struggle creating engaging puzzles and it shows. A skilled mapper with a creative mind would do wonders for the gameplay of our project.
- I will personally take care of everything else that is graphic-related.
i'd like to thank you in advance for reading through all of this. if you're interested in joining the dev team, feel free to send me a dm!
