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

How you you like to be involved in research? While this is fantasy, it would be cool if maybe someone like you could research the dynamics of a good fantasy world, like empires and conflicts, for example. Or, if that's too wide a scope for you, researching culture-specific clothing to enhance character designs? Whatever you feel like doing, let me know. ^^

Culture-specific clothing would be good! I can't do the dynamics thing since I've pretty much got the whole focus-only-on-specific-research-topics beaten in my brain by my professors.

At least, I can't do the dynamics research at the moment. In May, I could since I'll be done with Finals by then.
