Interested in making our own games?

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 like this idea. Are you talking about a Hetalia game or an original storyline with original characters, something completely separate from Hetalia?
Either way, I'm very interested in helping =)
I'll pretty much do whatever is needed--I write and draw and make music particularly =)
There's a fan-made Hetalia RPG in production, and I'm not the main person in charge of it, but I'm working on the music and doing some art for it. I've completed about 9 tracks for the OST so far, so if you wanted to check out my music, you can hear them at my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/HeroicPlights?feature=guide
You can also get see some of my art at my DA: http://malsavaidity.deviantart.com/
(I've improved compared to the older art I have there, I hope =/ )
I'm a pretty serious writer too, but I haven't really posted anything recent online.
I can work in your parameters if you have something specific you want (a song for a specific part or art to illustrate a specific scene or character) or I can just work from scratch. I love to create, so I'm totally jumping at the chance to be a part of this ^^

Well, I actually plan on making several Hetalia games, if possible. They're all going to involve Hetalia characters, but the first one may not be set in Hetaliaverse, I suppose. It really all depends on what people agree on and feel like doing. :)

In terms of music...my fucking God. Your pieces are subliminally epic! We would definitely love to have you on-board as a composer! Also, your art! It's fucking fantastic as well! Would you like to help in the promo art? I definitely want to make posters and whatnot, and feel free to involve yourself in whatever other art you'd like. ^^
In terms of writing, we do have a few scenario writers including myself, but you're definitely welcome to sign as one and write scenario for projects that interest you~ Does this sound okay to you?

Sounds good! ^^
What do you mean by scenario?? I'm not too familiar with RPGs, so I'm not quite sure what that means.
But I'll join the group you mentioned, definitely ;-)
