Recruiting Recruitment for Pokémon Zircon Version

[Neoxaivus]

=== Pokémon Zircon Version is recruiting! ===​

---

Although being my first game, this has been a solo project for a while as of now, and I
choose to admit that I could use some community help to make this game possible and to be an
enjoyable experience.

Pokémon Zircon Version is a retro-style game based on the GBC-era games made with the
Essentials GSC Engine (using Essentials v18.1 currently), and it will take place in a new
region called Tanzos.​

=== Game Description ===
Will update over time!

In this game, you initially start out as the assistant of Professor Jade, but after an
incident involving a fall into a mysterious sinkhole in the nearby forest, you meet your
partner Pokémon Charcadet and discover in a secluded part of the cave, the mythic Spectrum
Diamond, a mysterious gemstone that contains the power of all elemental types. Since this
discovery, you are now tasked with guarding the diamond while defending Tanzos from the
return of the once-banished evil team, the Noxious Brigade. You will meet new characters, and
possibly some old ones, as you adventure through the expansive region. While you are at it,
you can also participate in the Tanzos League challenge and become the region's new
champion.​

This game is currently recruiting:​

Programmers: To make new features, fix bugs, and other new fancy stuff.
GSC-style Sprite Artists:

• For Pokémon Sprites. Although there are already many sprites and icons for certain Pokémon, some are still missing and some are not exactly perfect, so some extra help with this will be very appreciated.
• For Character Sprites. This includes battle sprites, overworlds, portraits, and other miscellaneous art.
• For Tilesets and Overworlds. Unique tiles and overworld graphics will be accepted to make the maps pretty.
• For Cutscenes. There will be some special cutscenes in the game, so help is greatly needed with this.
• For Region Maps.
• For UI.
• For other Miscellaneous Graphics.

Original Composers: To make a unique and original soundtrack in the GBC/GSC aesthetic. Most likely using a retro soundfont.
Sound Designers: To create sounds and cries that fit the GSC aesthetic.
Artists:

• For Character Designs. New characters are being introduced, so help is needed to support these new faces. Old Sugimori-style graphics are the scope for this project.
• For Promotional Material. This includes art to be used when bringing the game out to the public.

Much needed bump. We are still looking for artist, as they are the main thing needed at this point.

Also welcoming AOZero2 to the team! He is joining in as a composer for this game. The OP will be updated with this information.

 

[Neoxaivus]

Joining in as both a writer and balancer is @Forest of Eden! With that, we are closing positions for writers and balancers, unfortunately.

The OP is updated with this new information.

 

[Neoxaivus]

We finally got a much needed artist with @Omen_Izunia comes into the team! No need to worry as we are still accepting more.

OP is updated with this information.
