Sidequest Ressurected

Postby BlackChad1976 on Sun May 27, 2012 10:48 pm

Do you like X-Strike Studios?
Do you like video games?
What if you could see an X-Strike original made into a video game?
Hi I'm Black Chad & I am working on just that. I became aware of SideQuest a long time ago & like some of their fans I got all sorts of excited...Needless to say that movie never made it & like alot of you I was bummed..But fortunately I was attending Westwood College in their Video Game Art & Design program. Once I finished it I had the thought that I wanted my first title to be SideQuest.
So after waiting a little while to hone my sprite making,writing,& art skills I approached these guys about turning their intellectual property into a game. I am knee deep in rewriting the script & planning my sprites & all that but the main point of this is to ask for some help. I have approached a couple artist known to some of you all & one only a few others know & I am gonna say it first "Art aint cheap" I have so far paid out of my own pocket for materials to help with the production but I am in the process of moving to the uk & can't afford to do it all alone. I am not asking for a straight hand out I know you all have your own things going but if you would like to help pm me. I need things like a universal power adapter for a laptop my friend threw out cause it was acting up. I also need ram for said laptop so I can run the art programs I need as well as the program that I am using to build the game as well. I need to hire an artist to make a map for me & would like to be able to pay the other artists helping me something so it can move up on their priority scale among a host of other things I could use. I am doing the what usually takes a team of 15 to 20 to do. I considered doing a kickstarter but with me moving to the uk it might not be the best idea.
Again any help is appreciated. If any of you have friends looking to get rid of their old laptops or know of anyone selling decent machines or windows tablets on the cheap let me know because the mor machines I can delegate to this the better the more money I can raise to help pay artists & musicians the faster I can get this title out & to the fans of this great group.

I am horrible at asking people for anything but if anyone wants to contribute monetarily my paypal is escobar.negro@gmail.com if you art an artist or composer & want to help out hit me up I need help of all kinds. If anyone has any tech they can part with to help let me know & I will shoot you an address to send it to & I might even be able to help with shipping.
I want to finish this project in a timely manner but if it is just me & two others working on it when they have the time then it's gonna take longer than we all would want. I want to make this project come to fruition cause I love the premise & love what X-Strike is about & produces.
All those that help in any fashion will definately get a shout out in the credits but I am working on coming up with other incentives to help out. & will be posting often in this thread so keep your eyes peeled.

GO FIGURE, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME MONEY. See how I'm doing after AMA. And if you decide to do a Kickstarter/Indiegogo I can help with that too.

Thanks Juese! I need to figure out the logistics of doing a kickstarter whilst trying to move to another country I was mostly hoping that fans would want to know more about it & ask questions & if they felt gracious enough to help then they would. I am hoping to get Sako Tumi to do the world map. & I need hex & maximos help whenever they aren't working on anything but if I could pay them to work on some things I am sure the ball could get rolling alot faster

I would, of course, still be willing to offer free art support.

So michelle is bringing her scanner home today & I should have Paladin's concept art up soon. Am waiting to hear back from hex about Gale's concept art & also from Mr. O'Boyle on any monster art he may have for me. I have been expirementing with CHARAS Sprite maker but might just stick with gimp & paint...no pulp fiction joke if you please. Still alot more to do & am a long way from being able to do alot of the stuff I need to to do & I just found out that one of the computers I was planning on using in the UK has died. That is the latest updates if anyone has questions about the title or how they can help just ask & I'll let you know

Hell to the yeah! Thanks you guys! I am rewriting some fetch missions & slay missions & am trying to come up with some stuff that can be done after the main quest is completed; so if you guys have some ideas & descriptions of other characters that didn't make it into the script that would be awesome as well

So yet another update from yours truly. New character art is up on my facebook am trying to figure out how to post it to here so others can check it out. Script has taken a slight back seat so I can draw more & work out some ideas. And that would be that. if anyone can tell me how to add pics to here I would truly appreciate it
