Overveiw:
Hello there, I'm currently starting a project called "Jesters Tale". I can use any help possible really. I'm pretty commited to actualy finishing this project. It would help to have a few others to help along. Even be staff if they want. Heres an example of the two main charecters so far.
---------------
Story so far (will greatly improve and lengthen):
A jesters life is fullfilled only by the smile or laughter of a child. The simple bliss found behind pretending to be happy. Our story begins with a Jester in the kingdom of Kintlup(name may change) Living a peacefull life and hiding behind his masks. (skip some bits for now)
Suddenly the kingdom bursts into flame, people are exploding (gonna have some blood in this game) and dying. (obviously you die when you explode) Not understanding any of this our hero goes off to find out why.
I have a little more in my head but I don't wanna reveal that for when this game actualy comes out. Don't wanna ruin the twists!
---------------
Gameplay:
Sidescrolling RPG Adventure, sorta Zelda2/Castlevania Circle of the Moon. Alot of puzzles, and killing stuff (ofcoarse).
---------------
Features I intend to have:
Progressively more commands, Spells and double jump.
Save game, objects and such. (that is when I figure out that "ini" stuff heh)
Possibly two player but not in the first version.
---------------
Positions:
[x]Head spriter (I'll be doing most)
[ ]Spriters, enemies, random graphics, bosses, anything you think you can do.
[ ]Someone to do graphics for cutscenes.
[ ]Music
[ ]sound effects
[ ] And I'll do alot of the coding, but I'm not top notch yet. I could use alot of help which I'll probably be asking things on this forum alot. If you are good at coding and such I would really apreciate your help of the project.

Well I think that's good enough for now. Tell me what you think, and if your interested let me know. Later.
I guess I can help with a bit of monster/enemy graphics, though what is in it for us who decide to help? send a mail if you want some examples of what I can do.

The character is pretty bland. although the jester theme is nice. I dont like the colours either. But ther animations *SEEM* to look quite smooth. I'd like to see them ANIMATED!
I also love your avatar, if youre into pixel art go here:

P.S. I didnt bother reading over your game idea, sorry, I just felt like writing about the art.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
I based the animations off Megaman, just something to go off. They run pretty smooth, but I need to do some more animations for the sword slashing for the sword slashing.
Thanks for the comments. Your on the Natomic boards right Istvan? I use to drop by there.
About selling the game. Deffinatly not. It'll be freeware all the way. =P
