vbGore Free Online RPG Engine

Age of Ascension is my ORPG i have started to plan and work on.
this game is a Skill based game. there is no real class to it and your strengths are based on levels of skills. there will be Player housing. level cap of 40, im wanting 3 races and i have an array of skills. if you ever played Ultima Online(i havnt) it could be similar. however if you want a good running example of my idea, follow the link to RPGWO. im taking alot of features of that game and applying them to this engine with my own storyline. this is more a personal project then a game planned to make me money. I plan on having it available to public. and im hoping to have a small to medium player base. RPGWO is not that popular. however im in need of a Graphic artist and a Sprite Artist. the sprite artist need not be activly working on anything yet but some examples of work would be nice. however i need the Grahics artist ASAP. the hardest part of a game is where you start. which is the skill system and crafting system of my game. then ill work on player housing. developers will have access to the game to test what they're helping with. however i have to come to the library for net Access ATM. so the server wont be up for a few weeks.

Im hoping that someone is willing to use spare time to asist me. since this is a Free setup im working on.

I have 1 hint for you, and 1 question from my sister:

Hint: I would begin writing the CORE of the game to your needs.
(client-server chatting, objects, etc)

Skills can build up on objects eventually, (or the other way around, depending on your game)
So you should write up a list of what needs what.
If your skillsytsem is dependant of an item system, you need the item system first

As you are writing this game more hobby-like,
I'm not sure if you have planned any structure for coding or so.

Now the question:
I have a sister who has begun pixel art a short while ago.
She is not "good", but she is useful to our team to an extent.
She pixels many Inventory Graphics for Items we have, and also attempts other stuff.

Though as our Game requires high standards
(not the highest, but "relatively" high) compared to some other projects here GFX-wise.

So, how skilled must your pixel artist be?
What quality do you expect? what experience?
atm her PC is broken anyway (the monitor is fried, think its replaced soon)
I suppose she would work for free on a specific level of quality,
to gain experience and get better.

But this is not clarified with her herself yet.
(after all, as shes not too good yet, i want to ask what quality level you require first)

Quality level ATM is no problem. this is more hobby/learning to Program VB6 so anything is better then nothing. and Item System is what im working on. i have some Graghics that i "borrowed" but they are Purly for testing purposes ATM. i was in a hurry when i typed this but yes Item System is whats being done ATM... i kinda included it into the Skill/Crafting system as a whole. If you have some post some of her work. I doubt i would really deny her, since this is wholy a free set up. im actually thinking of full on running a dedicated server for this. i have a Temp PC at home ill be using for it. but its old and could no where near run the game when complete. i also want to make some changes to the System and make the Item Usage different. currently, the Item/Crafting system revolves around this "Formula".

T + M = R
(T for Tool, M for Material, and R for Result)

So im thinking of Changing it up. but im not sure... im just feeling like a copy-cat cus im using almost the same system as another Game. the quest like is also something i enjoy. its my own creation and its the reason the Game is Called Age of Ascension. it is after the Story of Erkano's Ascension to godhood. Erkano will actually be the connect screen. standing in front of a Alter of the Demi-God. he is also my Screen-Name for when the game is up and running. ill be an Admin for in-game support and ill also be a player to =P i need to understand VB6 some more. Please ask your Sister to think on this. Im not much of Pixel Art so she is definatly better then me. i still have no net or job so i have to come to the library to do anything net related. so i bid you farewell i have to check my Artists for Game Art.

I cant just post up her work without asking
Ill ask her as soon as I see her online again.
Could be tommorrow.

thats cool dude limme know what she says.

she said "I have my final exams in 3 months, sorry"

thats news to me aswell (she lives 400km away from me)

sorry dude, was worth a try
