I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but, if not I’m sure somebody will move it to the correct board.

I'm planning on turning my long running fanfiction/ongoing web doujin “Gameworld - Saga 1: Final Fantasy Eternity”, as well as it's gaiden chapters, into a strategy RPG similar to Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, or Tactics Ogre... the problem is, despite being a writer that has actually worked on video games (3 Fan Games & 1 Console Game coming out somewhere between Q4 2011 - Q2 2012) I have no experience in game design as I almost always either write the storyline or head the creative design team (artwork & whatnot not the programming aspect).

I have the entire storyline finished as I wrote the last chapter of Gameworld Saga 1 in February of 2008 and have been working on Saga 2 since then. The last half of Gameworld was never uploaded on the internet as to not give away the storyline of the doujin which started in 2006. The series of Gameworld combines both original characters and Final Fantasy characters, however due to this being an AU not all Final Fantasy characters are exactly the same as they were in their game of origin, (For Example: Sephiroth is a heroic character instead of a villain due to different events occurring in the past from what was in the game). The combined world this series exists in contains characters from final fantasy 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12, 12 RW.

The first saga features 9 outsiders, at first all but two of them are completely neutral, choosing to explore the world rather than harm/aid it. Those two are the first arrival, Ganma, who decides to control the world for an unknown reason of his own going so far as to even claim that he is from the games world, and the other is Rando, the third to last to arrive, after arriving in the game he learns of the state of the world and becomes determined to stop Ganma. Travelling the world he encounters and joins with various Final Fantasy characters, the other seven outsiders, and several new original characters from the Final Fantasy world, building an army to defeat Ganma’s ever growing army.

I view the game as something more similar to a mix of Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, using the Fire Emblem “Equip Type” minus the triangles and Class system, and the Final Fantasy ability system. The game would also have a feel similar to Final Fantasy 9 because the Gaiden Chapters would leave the main party and follow the other outsiders for a bit. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be deciding a recruit able character list by reading through and choosing which characters will be capable of joining the team, which will be temporary in battle allies, and which will just be NPC’s. I’m looking for anybody willing to aid me in this. I thank you for listening, and if you choose to help, thank you in advance.

I believe this would be the right place to put the thread, don't worry about that. Can put up a link to your doujin, and also to info about the games you helped work on?

*PIC REMOVED*

does this turn you on?

I worked as a storyline advisor to my friend’s fangame, “Final Fantasy: Legacy of the Light Warriors”. I have no idea what website he put it on, but it was made with RPG Maker 2000. I also worked as an advisor on another fangame called “Zero War: Chapter 1 – Origin of Domino” which was a fan Mega Man game based of a Mega Man Webcomic of which I was one of the three creators. The final fangame I worked on was “Fire Emblem: Procer Cado Regnum” (Really hope I spelled that right...), which as you can probably tell is a Fire Emblem Fan Game, my only involvement with that one was developing the basic storyline progression, characters, and character relationships. The final two were both uploaded to a now defunct website that was run by a friend of mine. If you are interested in any more information of them I have all the data I worked on available from the each of the three series and I have no idea if they are still online or what website they would be on, as I don't generally like to think of old work once it is finished.

As for the one professional game I am currently working on, I’m not allowed to talk about it much due to the fact that the game is in preproduction. I can tell you that I was hired earlier this year to be both the writer and head of the creative team for a small video game & graphic design company’s first major console RPG. As such I’ve been asked to sign a confidentiality agreement forbidding me from disclosing any pertinent information about the project as well as from revealing the name of the project until such time as the game has a set release date.

As for information on Gameworld, the webcomic can be located here: http://gameworld.smackjeeves.com/. Even though the webcomic started in 2006, it was developed at one page a month until the artist had to retire due to personal troubles, as such more of the storyline can be gained from the Fanfiction itself rather than the doujin. Due to the fact that the majority of the fanfiction series was posted on my friends now defunct site along with my older webcomic, Zero War, the two video games, Zero War & Procer Cado Regnum, and my other series of fanfiction “Rando’s What If?”. However I have begun to post the entirety of the fiction of Gameworld to the Webcomic site in the interim between the retiring of the old artist and the finding of a new one.

Also as I have all the data on various flash drives I can give any information to any interested party in working on the game. However as all the original characters have yet to be designed an artist would be needed to design art of the characters based on their descriptions from the fiction, as well as those Final Fantasy characters from the series who have alternate costumes mentioned in the fiction. Of the original characters, about half have had character art either in “first looks” or in the doujin itself.
