A Community Project Options

[Kaust]

I've been talking this over with some of the staff and so far they all seem pretty keen on the idea.
Its basically what the title says, a game that is built by the community for the community. Participation can be anything from spriting and faceart to just mapping out a town. Everything a game needs to be completed, RRR Needs You
(There was also the suggestion of Rev Points for participation, though that hasn't been confirmed).

So basically this post is to establish who would be interested in such a project, what engines you have access to (could always download a demo of another if we end up using one you don't have) and really just any ideas, suggestions or questions you may have.

Game Producer: I, because I am a highly organized person (I found that ironic, being a mod at the spam topic)
Other: I as 'cutscene' editor (unless that goes with mapping)

I guess I'm directing the project right now in a sense, but more or less I wanna gradually hand the game direction over to the writers and the producer. So, ummm... (Oh, kaust wants to direct) I'm call what I'm doing now, as brainstorming... I'm the "development team."

Game Producer: kayden997
Game Director: Kaust
Artists: shinyjiggly, Titanhex (possibly some mapping for these guys)
Writers: vvalkingman, kaz (seems like, anyway)
Mappers: Albino Parakeet, Vexus
Coders:
Battle Editors:
Composer: khachuchrian
General Submissions: Maybe me...? And some other ppl.
Other: Me (development team), kayden997 (cutscene editor)

-----------------------------
I'd prefer it if we kept it here (even if that makes this thread super-long). Okay, as part of development, we need to talk about a few things (which is where the director comes in, I just organize and ask questions).

1. What genre of game? (Puzzle, typical RPG, gothic RPG, strategy, horror, epic, etc)
2. What is the basic plot? What are the hero's goals?
3. Who are the heroes? What are they like?
4. What are the villains like? Are there villains, or is it like a No Evil Whatsoever (see the thread earlier) setting?
5. What type of battle type is it using (side scrolling, faceup nochars (Earthbound), lufia style faceup with chars, etc)
6. What battle features are we using (limit breaks, hp using techniques, etc)
7. Are we using scripts or just normal code? For that matter what engine are we using?
8. What features does this game have (day/night, weather, seasons, party changing)
9. In terms of party are there developed characters, or is customization allowed (or as a compromise, is there a job system like final fantasy V)?
10. What about the world around? What is the setting? For that matter, is the game in a small world where you're expected to be somewhere, or is it a Wide Open Sandbox?

Okay, aside from adding people to the list, my work as developer is done. You guys need to agree on this sorta stuff.
