[Unity] The Helper RPG Project

[The Helper]

I have always wanted to do a game but I never thought I could do it but since I have figured out that I do not have to do everything or know everything to get something done just maybe I manage stuff and help where I can, I am going to do the game now.

I am not going to do this alone. I am going to try to recruit you guys from this site, I am going to get my kids involved, other people in my life and people out on the internet.

I have this real artistic resource that I have found that I think that can do some real characters and the art if I can just keep her together for it. I am looking at it being a RPG but I am open on it but it has to have RPG elements.

I am targeting Unity as my dev platform on this. Stay tuned if you are interested.....

Started getting preliminary sketches done and character design. Next is story line. Anybody have a suggestion for a good graphics tool for an artist starting out?

Tool as in hardware for digital drawing or software? If the former, can't go wrong with a Wacom Intuos, they plug into any PC and sell for $50-$80. They're pretty awesome for the price.

For digital, probably GIMP I would say. I believe it handles pressure sensitivity like PS does, but you can't really go wrong using PS for digital art since it does everything.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Definitely stick to Unity3D if doing 2D, and if you're not doing 2D then I'd consider switching to 2D. 3D is a way bigger undertaking than you'd imagine as a first-time indie dev.

I have a wacom intuos and I definitely can't do art on it. It takes a lot of practice to become reasonably effective with a drawing tablet.

I have an older Wacom tablet and software I think I am going to start with that. Then learn the Gimp. I already know it somewhat.

I have not even started on the music yet I have a great source for that too.

He has great talent plus editing and studio experience. He has computer skillz. He has not done games yet though.

My artist is MIA and she did not get any sketches so unless she can get it together I am just going to mess with Unity and talk to my music guy to see if I can get some tips.

Oh yeah I got her back on board again and back working on it. She is hopefully working on sketches....
