Metal Gear Solid: RPG - *sprite artist wanted*

[INoodleClock]

Basically everything's done, battles, FMVs, story structure and also Snake is fully animated with all attacks.

What I'm lacking is sprites for all the enemies, and their attackings. If anyone's up to it a list of enemies is bellow, characters are about 40x75; colour doesn't matter too much as long as it isn't 3bit.

Bosses':

Genome soldier (white, snow uniform - all they need is a FAMAS)
Ocelot (with Revolver ofc)
Raven (inside tank, which fires)
Wolf (not much needed, as she's be hidden in snow field)
Grey Fox
Metal Gear (side view if possible and looks ok, with rail gun, lazer - rotating dome?)
Liquid (shirtless, brown combats - no weapons)
Hind-D (side view, rotating blades, fires missiles)
Mantis (I'm thinking statues and pictures to throw at Snake as well)

I'm going to have a go at some tonight, probably Grey Fox - but I it's not a medium I've really done before and I know plenty of you are awesome with sprite stuff.

When the game's finished it will be exclusive to Kongregate.com for a month then onto NG; CC will of course get first preview before release.

Thanks.

I'd do it, but I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game.
So really, I reckon I would be missing some key details.

[INoodleClock]

Backgrounds, anyone know some good backings I can use for the battles?

A couple of these from Batman might work - Link

Metal Gear and Mantis' room are gonna be a little harder to place. Hmm..

Don't ruin metal gear solid for me.

Make something else.

[TequilaClock]

I would do it if it wasnt such a gay idea, sorry.

[LambdaClock]

its kinda of a really really shitty idea

Why on earth would a game like metal gear need an RPG?

Now I think about it Pokemon is kind of one, avoiding the damn swimmers to see you way to Cinnabar. Otherwise, bam, battle.

SNAKE USED SOCOM
SNAKE DID 12 DAMAGE TO VAMP
VAMP USED KNIVE THROW
SNAKE GOT HIT FOR 20 DAMAGE
SNAKE USED AWESOME MOVE THAT SENDS VAMP INTO A PRESSURIZED WATER POOL IN THE CENTER OF THE BOSS BATTLE STAGE THAT WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE KILLED HIM BUT DID NOT SO HE COMES BACK AND HOLDS LITTLE GIRL HOSTAGE AND SNAKE HAS TO HEADSHOT HIM WITH A PSG1 BUT HE SHANKS HER ANYWAY AND SHE DIES WHICH MAKES OTACON SUPER SAD.

Don't # or I'll kill you.

1: Do anime Metal Gear.

2: Use turn-based combat that requires no interactivity besides choosing your attack from a menu.

Even if you do use turn-based combat, there needs to be an extra layer of interactivity. Thousand Year Door, even with that, stagnated after you had to use the same attack for every enemy hundreds of times in a row, but at least it was fun as long as that wasn't the case, and at least it wasn't Final Fantasy, where the game is purely statistical, making it like playing a tabletop RPG, but without the good story, the good storyteller, or the excitement in the game.

By RPG it's like AC!D - just set for Shadow Moses and a different style of art. Each boss unlocks new weapons/items (cards) and they each have different stats. for each enemy you encounter (obviously the CQC moves won't work as well as the Stinger on the Hind for example).

Cut together with DGN sceens to reduce file size, and also they look awesome.

I'm planning on various courses you can take, on the basic level whether you save Meryl or Hal - thus giving you different items for the next play.

Since lots of you seem hesitant I'll try and get some screens up, just mixing some music now and planning some other bits, like Grey Fox attacking the ray-dome into an interactive sequence.

Check MGS: AC!D for the way it'll work, and MGS: Digital Graphic Novel for the style (just think the same but with anime/sprite style).

Still need a sprite artist!

Example of DGN style:

Tell me next time you're making an original game and I'll make sprites for it.

[DillClock]

it would kill the whole sneaking part of the game, you would have to purposely kill soldiers to level up

don't do it
