Caelestic project coming to PSP

**TurkeyMan** · January 26th, 2006, 00:48

I just wanted to let the home brew community know about a game i've been working on for the past little while.
We call it Caelestis, and its coming together slowly but surely.
Its not yet at a stage where i'm happy to release a binary or source openly, but i'll show some screenshots for the moment just to let people know the project exists.

For the record, I'm desperately searching for more talented artists to help make this game look and feel very professional. What you see is average coder art which i'd like to replace with real artists work at some point

I attach screenshots running on PSP and on PC.

This project looks extremley promising... great work so far!

hey guys, thanks for the comments!

I dont know about photoshop in particular, I need 3d modelers, animators and texture artists. Although i do also need to find someone with good web design skills to help setup and manage a website. I work a full time, and i dedicate as much free time to this project as i can, but i dont have time to do a website and all that stuff aswell.

As for the game, I'm at a stage now where I want to start getting some decent content into the game. That means finding (and impressing) some talented artists. And i figure the best way to do that is to release a nice polished demo, so thats what i'm working up to. It will be nothing big, just a small, playable taste of where I want to go with this project. That is the point where i will release to everyone

If i can eventually assemble a small team of talented motivated individuals, hopefully i can make this into a successful homebrew project that people may enjoy and really show what homebrew is capable of

Oh, i also noticed i made a typo in the name of the thread, the project is caled 'Caelestis', not 'Caelestic' :P

Looks like some good work, TurkeyMan! I love seeing these homebrew games.

Given the state of progress with the graphics and graphic engine so far, I'd assume that you have a fairly concrete story worked out at this point. Can you post a rundown of the gist of the story so potential artists know if they'd fit the project? It'd be helpful if you could give just a few details like setting, time period, or any other thoughts you have behind the details that might set the mood for the game. Are we looking at a final fantasy type world, phantasy star, zelda, or even more of a traditional dungeons and dragons feel?

Keep up the good work!
