Hey people, i have a small team of motivated individuals busily working on a short demo for a jap style RPG inspired by Secret of Mana among other 16 bit era classics.
Its a modern 3d game and runs on PC, Linux, XBox, PSP, and soon Gamecube, PS2 and Dreamcast.
We have made a playable proof of concept demo with simple scenes and characters, and we are currently working on the concept art for the initial demo, polishing the demo story and script, and i'm building more rhobust game code.
We dont have anyone talented in drawing storyboards (for scenes+cutscenes) and we dont have a scenery concept artists for the modelers to work from..
Also, we would really like to find more experienced 3d modelers to help with main character modeling and animation.
The game is in a cartooney style, if you can imagine a 3d Legeld of Mana meets FF9 meets suikoden 3/etc.
If anyone can do the style of art we're looking for and is interested, please come and say hi on our dev forum.
Anyone else interested in the project is perfectly welcome to say hi too
I can provide the playable demo to anyone seriously interested.

(note, its not as boring as it looks.. there is a hidden private forum where we all discuss the game and share art+content, we're trying to keep it quiet so its a surprise when we release the demo soon)
Very keen to hear from anyone with an interest in 2d or 3d art, anime and fun japanese style RPG's
