Do YOU want to be part of a Platform/RPG in development? Here's your chance...

Firstly, some screenshots and a video for your attention...

FIRSTLY: Potential artists: most of the work I'll need will either be generic (for digitally painted scenery, or sketches of weapons) and
to some degree anime/manga/cartoon style (for people, and objects, maybe monsters are a little less strict.)
Have a look at the above screenshots.

As many of my friends at school know, I've begun my major project for Software Development and Design, and am undertaking the biggest programming project that I have EVER done... It's going to be massive, very big. It's roughly 3300 lines of code at the moment, and this is a month into the 8-month-long project.
(I don't expect more than 20k lines tops though, probably. It's about the quality, not the quantity.)

The game will be released by JUNE, 2008. It seems far away, but it really REALLY is not that much time!
(Once you see how much needs to be done.)

What is this project? It is a game. A game, that you play, that you have fun with, and hopefully get something out of. I am the only programmer (and it has to stay this way to be marked fairly for my HSC)
but I have a group of people already who have volunteered and put their name down to help me out with
the other things. I already have submissions of art for the game (which is excellent) and storyline scripters
and writers working on the story. I have a few voice actors and effects people. If you want to know what
you can do, have a look under "How can I help" in the site below:

FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE GAME, SEE THIS WEBSITE: [link] (jordan.trudgett.com)
(New website!!)

Getting to the point, I need all the help I can get from well, anywhere, for the artistic side of the game (not marked) because this is not just my assignment, but a major project of my own as well. If you are interested, whether artistic, musical, creative or otherwise, please visit the above website. You will receive
more than enough credit for all of your work, I will not pass it off as my own, and you will be duly noted
and shown (during a credits screen) in each demonstration of the game.

The game itself is a Platform/Sidescroller Action/RPG. Like Mario meets Kingdom Hearts, or Castlevania
meets Streetfighter? (A fighting/combo system is being dwelled upon)

Ardentryst, the game's name, is pretty much final now. The names of the two characters need still be decided.
For a more in-depth background story, visit the website.

Anyone can contribute! I'm not looking for the best of the best, or anyone who has years of experience. If you have enthusiasm or interest, then you could just do one or two things and get recognised for it! And yes, you, not the person next to you

Everyone who volunteers to be a part of the project will be credited, and featured here (for any work big or small )

Currently, I have 12 volunteers, and myself, making a team of 13. There are also other people who've aided in some things or rather,
but aren't really in it for the long haul (special thanks to them.)

Working on the project:
