Hello hello!
I'm Talia, she/her, primarily a writer, designer and producer.
For this jam I'm going to make a vertical slice of Isekai/Online, a single player RPG about the MC's transgender awakening within the world of her favorite MMO as she and her raiding party struggle to survive the milleu, the (suddenly sentient) NPCs, and the other half a million gamers (and Gamers) transported along with her. This is a concept I've been working on preproduction for but haven't actually done any production work for.
This is the MC Deedee (art by PastelDeity), roughly two minutes after getting isekai'd, five seconds after throwing an owlbear through a tree, and one instant after she went "holy shit i'm a girl this rules". She can build into almost any role, fitting for a story about identity.
Alesha (avatar: Herezhade; user: Jefferson), born paladin, the elegant party tank who just wants to go home to her loving family and will fight like hell to get back.
Sekhmet Clanclan nee Juliette Wang - in game an offensive support Thief, she's Deedee's roommate IRL who worked at the same shitty convenience store with her and thinks of the gameworld as a possible escape from that life.
Avatar Hikaru Aosora (user Akira Tsukuda), a programmer by day and raider by night who is beginning to regret playing a neotenic ageless potato Evoker, even if the little guy is a tactical nuke on the field; he's fascinated with the underpinnings of the virtual world and seeks to understand it.
Ace Striker is the avatar of a transgender pro Twitch streamer (formerly a soccer player before she took a player to the knee), who unfortunately has no idea how to actually play as a pure DPS Warrior and who never intended to stick with the game longer than her free 14 days.
All concept art with the artist not otherwise listed is by Emma Glaze (bedsafely on Twitter).
Presently I'm using RPGMaker MV for it, mostly because I have it and it produces decent art for the purpose: and doing one boss fight, one level, and one major scene; if I complete that early I'll expand from there backwards to the beginning of the game, and from there forwards to the end. I am deliberately trying for a low-scope project focusing on characterization and making these character kits work, which I'm pretty sure I can do on my own.
That said, if anyone is interested in doing music, voice acting, spritework, coding or illustration for it please PM me! I would like for this game to be as polished as possible once I get that work out and having an original soundtrack and better art than I can make in the MV character generator would be amazing. I would like for this to be a grid-based tactical game but am currently working from the assumption that this is not feasible in MV, but if a programmer would like to join me and prove me wrong that would be incredible!
