Hey, everyone.

I couldn't help but notice the magnitude of games produced by the Japanese fandom compared to the Western one, if any exist at all. I was lurking on one of the forums and the mention of a program known as RPG Maker that the J-fen has been allegedly using to create their fan-made RPGs cropped up. I found the website for it, and since I've got enough money saved up, and after I test it I'd like to then buy it and begin making games that the W-fen wants to see. I do have some experience creating 2D games so I figured that this wouldn't be too difficult for me to pick up. (I've bought RPG Maker VX Ace as of today.)

Basically, I want to create games that the Western Hetalia fandom wants to see. Besides making games, I have experience writing fanfiction as well as digital drawing. However, I was wondering if other people were interested in joining me in collaboration in current or future projects in whatever they specialize in and be a part of future projects.

I also thought it would be fun to host polls and have the community here help choose what kind of games you'd like to see, and vote on what you guys want in a game. I''m pretty excited since I know that we're all full of ideas to contribute. :)

If you want to get in touch, just PM me and I'll get back to you. :)

Also, please note that all updates and most feedback between members will be staged in our new community, hetaliaworks.livejournal.com, which will be dedicated to current and future projects~ Please follow it if you have an account or are absolutely certain that you want to be part of the team!

I hope that we all can make awesomeness happen!

People (possibly) on board so far:

-pinaki93
-polarn

We'll keep adding people, and once this gains more momentum, I'll add more people here as well as start posting on Tumblr detailing the progress. There will be credits at the end of the game, so if you want to be immortalized in a game, join us! :D

I've been using RPG Maker XP for years. :) Never got into VX, though, I think the graphics are too ugly. I've made a metric buttload of sprites for it, including a ton of Hetalia ones that are free for others to use if you're interested.

Oh good grief, I started my RPG Maker XP sprite website in March of 2006. Where does the time go??

Sure, that sounds awesome~ For this game, I'm going to try hard to make mostly my own, but fillers would be greatly appreciated in we're in a crunch. :3

Alrighty, here's a link right to the character sprites. http://untamed.wild-refuge.net/rmxpresources.php?characters Just scroll down until you find anime/game sprites.

Hot damn, this is awesome! While I don't want to use too many, this will definitely make for great references for the people who want to make sprites, like me ^^ Thank you so much!

Is there a way to download these, or do you just copy and paste the images or something? Sorry, I'm way too new at this. :p

RPG Maker sprites are just pics, you save them like you would any image off the internet. :) Then import them into your game.

I'm getting a book soon so hopefully, all of this will make sense soon. @w@

Wow. Somebody had some time on their hands.

I approve.

:)

I just have to ask, since those are amazing,

Is there a way to set RMVX to allow those character sheets?
D: All I know is the usual style there supports 12 sprites per character instead of 16.

Stitching them into the regular 8 character sheet, I can select them just fine (like this (http://i.imgur.com/d9PUH.png)), but they come out like this instead:
