I posted this on the newsgroups but I didn't get any answers....I'm trying to write a FF3 type game for the Acorn - I don't need any graphics artists or programmers, but I could do with a lot of help with script and plot writing. Any game ideas would also be appreciated!

I understand you've spoken to Nathan of VOTI?
As far as plot etc, I don't know how many people are available to do this. I'm going to have to spend quite a lot of time thinking out a series of missions for my project so maybe you'll have to work alone at least for now. Don't forget to look around the threads here though for ideas.

Yep, I've spoken to Nathan to offer my help as a 2D graphics artist smile If anyone else wants some help with 2D and tile graphics, I'm available although time is a bit limited at the moment unhappy

I've decided on a compromise - 640x480, but using the fixed 256 col palette.

Trust me, it'll look good smile

No, really, it'll look good!!

Spikey hair has been provided.

Now, if only I can work out how to do this music stuff....

Well, what are those little tadpole thingies that you put on those little train tracks on paper mean ? tongue

No seriously, I can't write music, I've never put continuous music into a game before, and all I've got to work with is the sound module from GameSuite, so music is going to be pretty low on the priority list for the moment, I think.

ur gonna have to decide whether u want to use tracker or wave based audio (e.g. MP3 or CD Audio).
The sound quality of Tracker stinks, but apparently its easy to do stuff with.
I personally prefer the idea of MP3s of CD Audio smile

CD Audio all the way - MP3s use too much processor time and I doubt you'll need to use MP3s to conserve space smile
