Final Fantasy Hacktics

My name is Austin, I'm the game lead and lead artist for a Suikoden sequel game. I don't know that this website will be the best for this, but we were hoping to find a couple like minded people that would like to be part of the project.
Our lead writer Tim is a pretty busy guy so we mainly need help in the brainstorming/plot writing area. (Though other areas like art/spriting and stuff can always be useful)

About the project:
We are planning to do a sequel to Suikoden 3 that will take place in the year 485 or so. It will feature Harmonia heavily.
We will be having a full 108 stars to recruit and hopefully all the other staples of a Suikoden game.
We don't have a lot to show yet, on account of needing a plot before doing most of the concept art. But I'll put a few of the concepts we have so far in the spoiler below.
We have a dedicated programmer working on rebuilding the Suikoden 2 engine from the ground up, so it will play like an actual Suikoden game and not a weird RPGmaker-Suikoden hybrid.

The team so far:
Austin (Project Lead/Lead Artist)
Tim (Lead Writer)
Ben (Lead Programmer)
Zachary (Writer/Potential Composer)
Stephen (Writer)
Hayley (Artist)

I could easily help, since my current situation will leave me jobless very soon.

My skills as an artist are questionable: I haven't drawn in a while. I can write well, and composing is actually something I'm looking to college for soon.

Very nice current concepts, by the way.

I haven't seen all of these yet. Good work. I'm really looking forward to seeing old man Viktor.

Awesome Reks, I'll send you a pm and we'll see what we can get you to help with :D

I'd like to see this project succeed, as well.  Check your PMs.

I can help write a story/ contribute to brainstorming. Have you read the original novel?

I glad to hear that but I have question, your project in psx game or what ?

'Rebuilding' makes it sound like it isn't PSX, but I could be wrong.

I, for one, love Suikoden and wish it stayed 2D forever, though I have too much on my plate to contribute. Not to mention I never played more than hour of Suikoden 3... but I would very much love to play this when it's playable. Please please please keep us updated!

If PSX maybe but if not i don't think so.....

The project is not a romhack. Ben is building a custom suikoden game builder. It's similar to rpgmaker but custom made for suikoden games.

I haven't read the novel, no. I'll send you a pm with some details. Thanks for the offer :D

Is anybody here interested in Geology and map design. We're getting to the point where we need to start thinking about Geography. We'll need a map that unites the borders of Suikoden 2 and Suikoden 3 to create a useable Harmonia. As of Right now, the current map of Harmonia only has borders. Last night we were researching different types of bodies of water, when we realized that we need an expert. Does anybody want to be our cartographer?

I know nothing about the game's lore, but I do like fiddling around with geography (and I do know quite a bit).  If you all want to discuss this further, I'll relay the details over PM.
