All positions are still open. Those who have expressed intrest thus far I have conted with the messaging system on here. But I still am very much in need of people. Also wanted to clarify that the type of scripting I was referring to is Dialouge Scripting. I've got a basic plot down, but I need someone to place good dialouge...I know there are some great fanfic writers out there, so here's your chance to get your writing put into a video game format. ;)

You missed me. I downloaded and installed RPG Maker XP -- I only looked at it briefly, but I don't think that it be adequate for our needs without someone with enough talent and time to make a whole new selections of pictures and animations. That's a HUGE time investment. Perhaps there's some other tool we can use?

You can sign me up for playtesting. Done a bit of that for some pals in the past. Dont know if im good for much else though. Written some fic (not all published yet though) but I dont think its any usefull for your purposes.

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

It certainly will be. The project is largely in concept stage, that's why I'm announcing it now...so I can possibly gather the talent and provide them the time. The plot still needs ironing as well as dialouge and level concept. My hope is that I will be alble to locate 1-3 decently talented artists that would be willing to work for the love of teh project and at least one midi composer. If it is looking grim as concept phase is nearing the time for making firt steps, then I may consider raising enough money to hire someone on a higher skill plane I know there are some 2D artists that will do this work for $500-$1000, which can easily be raised, even if I havta go at it alone. Typically guys in art colleges loking to hone thier skills or get early work for portfolios.

The only thing about finding another program,is that 3D is too expensive and hard to locate artists for. And also RPG Maker XP is a really convient tool with a easy, yet fexible system. It also helps ensure that more people can run it with ease. I think we can turn out a really cool Old-school RPG starring characters in the Firefly universe. As it stands this all still in early concept stage and once I've got a solid team behind me, it'll go green. It'll be shiny for sure, and who wouldn't want to play an RPG where you aim to misbehave? ;)

Hmmm, I fancy myself something of a writer (whether or not i am, i for sure need the practice) and if you could send me your plot, or even better a storyboard scene-to-scene, i could try my hand.

To be honest i'm a little worried about commiting to this, I'm usually sorta busy for various reasons. Still... while i usually avoid writing fanfic cause i sorta fear the non-canonical, i wouldnt mind for this here RPG.

Anyhoo, as long as you're not totally depending on me for the whole script, i'd love to give it a shot.

P.S. if you're looking for a bit of my work, i'm afraid i've very little that i want to share, but just let me take a stab at a scene or two and see if you like.

Heh, it'll look like the old Legend of Zelda games. But you're right, anything that would be modern would cost too much money. I can help out with plot/dialog/voices (limited talent here, maybe just one or two characters)/possibly 3d modeling/beta tests, of course

Just a word of advice: You might want to check into the legalities of the project before you pay anyone. You're talking about making a video game without being given the rights by Fox/Universal, which is fine as a fan project, but as soon as you start paying *anyone* you may be on dangerous ground. Just something to consider.
