Find what you have lost

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates. I meant to announce this sooner, but a lot has happened for me that made it a struggle.

Here’s what’s going on:

Hi there anon! Thanks for checking in on us and remembering that we’re still around!!

The game’s been making a slow and steady progress, fear not!! All of the team members have priorities with schooling, jobs, and so on and so forth, so things do get pushed back unfortunately _(:3」∠)_ 

If I had to give some details in regards to what we’ve done after our previous entry, we’ve so far:

-Made multiple drafts for BGM throughout the game, along with the title screen and character themes.

-Begun working on tilesets for two other rooms in the first area of the game.

-Drafted bust sprites and more expressions for current and other characters that will make an appearance in the game.

We’ve still got long ways to go, but we’ll get there eventually!! Thank you again for messaging us and asking how it’s going! We hope you’re good and safe for the holiday season!! Keep it fresh ༼⌐■ل͜■༽

Thank you anon for your kind words!! Your support means so much to us, especially for caring about our health!!

aaaAAAAAA thank you so much anon!! This really did make my day seeing this <3

We’re very much hard at work on the game! And the team gets along so well!! Whenever we’re engaged in talking about the game and the plot, it’s nice to see them also contribute ideas and flesh them out TuT (NGL, we have this one character that’s a walking meme for us, and we like to poke fun at what they can potentially do in-game).

Hi everyone!!

Thank you all so much for providing support to Desiderium! Though the game has just begun it’s development stages, I’m really grateful to everyone that was willing to lend a helping hand to make the game possible! There were many wonderful applications to choose from, it was really hard to make a solid decision in some cases! To every applicant, regardless of your acceptance, thank you for reaching out to me and showing that you care! It makes me all warm and bubbly inside, and I wish you all luck in your future endeavors! Without further ado, here are the people helping me make the game a reality!! \o/

Welcome to team!! I look forward to working with you all ಥ‿ಥ !!

Thank you so much for the message and your interest in my game!! It means a lot to me to receive heartwarming encouragements such as these >v<!!

Suong and Hau went through drastic changes compared to their initial design, so I’m glad you like them a lot! Maybe someday I’ll share it, buuuut, that’s for another time ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

Here’s the full ver. of the minis from the recruitment banner!!

I estimate about 4-5 hours worth of gametime! I’m pretty bad at estimates to be honest, and I’ll admit that the plot is a bit lengthy ;;; It’s pretty ambitious for a first project, but the game is pretty linear and will have only one ending. I do have a demo in mind, but the release date is completely dependent on the future team and their schedules. Personally, I do hope to have a demo within a year of getting a team, but I feel like that’s taking more than I can chew, so I’ll keep at it one step at a time for now!! ^_^

Hi everyone! I’ve been a lurker in the RPG community for many years now and recently I’ve decided to put in my all to making my game a reality rather than an idea.

For those who have stumbled on this title for the first time: Desiderium is a mystery, non-combative game made in RPG Maker 2003 that follows Suong, a girl who could only recall her name, and Hau, a boy who also seems a bit lost in the strange inn they found themselves in.

Having this game planned out for years, I really want to get this game done and shared with the community, but there’s no way I can do it alone. So I’m seeking out volunteers that are willing to be as dedicated to the project as I am to make this game possible! Please note that this game is non-monetary, so I cannot compensate you for your time, but I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart if you do decide to lend a hand.

While artist is a bit broad, I’m looking for artists to help in pixel art and conceptual/promotional artwork! Pixel art is more of a priority as that is the style for all in-game talk sprites and CGs. As for artwork, I’m leaning towards any artists with a anime-esque style and/or that are familiar with environment and world building.

Music is what sets the mood of the game, and I would love to have Desiderium to have it’s own unique sounds! Looking for mainly calm, mysterious, and even creepy music! Most compositions will be used for ambiance and situational/character themes.

Programmers are the backbone of any game. I’m not too confidant having things go the way I imagine it to, let alone using RPG Maker. So anyone that knows their way around RPG Maker 2003 or any RPG Maker is welcomed! This is probably the role that will REALLY need to dedicate their time to this. We’ll both be working on the maps and events as well as making the aesthetic of this game work. I have open arms to beginners like me that want to take part as long as they’re willing!

And finally, for all applications, please fill the following to the email: [email protected]:

Your name

How much time you have to dedicate to the game (a rough weekly estimate and even your daily schedule works!)

Examples of your work

Projects you have participated in (if any)

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, feel free to forward it through email or through the askbox! Don’t be afraid to send in your portfolio even if you don’t hit all the points!  Applications will close on June 16th, 2017.

I’ve been chipping away at this for years, but I finally decided to put some more effort to finishing this project and to show that, I’ve finally made a blog to share it \o/ Making a game called Desiderium and it’s about Suong, a young woman who finds herself lost in an inn and can’t seem to recall anything but her name. Along with her companion, Hau, a young man who also finds himself a bit lost, they explore the inn and the mysteries behind it.
