Calling all Champion Designers!
Greetings All! I hope you're having a wonderful day. There are so many talented and creative minds on here. I always enjoy looking at the champion concepts and seeing what the community could have come up with next. But what do I want? Well, I have a proposition, a project that I have been working on, but I'll need help from your creative minds. The project is known as: Aria.
What is "Aria"? Aria is a fan-made MOBA game, which involves a more cartoon/anime style, while also being much simpler than most MOBAs to appeal to those just getting into the genre, but still including the plays and team work pro players will still enjoy. What sets Aria apart from other MOBAs is its reliance on lore. Though its only competitive map is a 5v5 3-lane battlefield, it will also have a game mode that puts you in a venue (from the lore of course) where you will protect a sacred artifact from the evil Necron. Not only that, but the lore will be interactive, allowing players to make suggestions as to what should happen. Goodbye Dawngate :'(.
W-w-wait... an actual playable game??? No, my friend. Sorry to disappoint you, but Aria is not a downloadable, playable game (yet). Why? Because we have to start with concepts and such. After it has a substantial basis, a website will be made where people can view all of Aria's information while also including a community database where people can support us and interact with each other. The game is meant to be made for MOBA fans by MOBA fans. I want the website to bring us all together and define us as a community, not just for League of Legends, but of course for the many other MOBAs too! Though the game is unplayable, if some company or whatever likes the concept and wants to make it an actual game, that would be GREAT and I would gladly allow them to do so!
So why should you feel obliged to help at all if all I want is selfish volunteer work? Well, for one, it is your chance to shine. On these boards, even if you can share your ideas, you can only do so much with them. In this project, you can do so much more, especially with more people helping out. Secondly, this could be something great. There are some people who have worked with me on this project before, but they quit due to it not advancing in development much, or at least they thought. In reality, it advanced a lot, but they quit too early to keep the momentum going to make it something great. I encourage you to stick with the development to keep/create momentum. Last of all, the reason you should help is because of what this is for. It's not for me, it's not for money; it's for the MOBA community. I don't think I can stress enough the importance of what I just said.
How can I Help? All help is greatly appreciated for this project. If you want to help out, that's great! Just e-mail me at [email protected] telling which kinds of MOBA characters you're best at designing (assassins, mages, supports, etc), how often you can be online, and what time zone you're in. Also, if you any other talents that can be used, please tell me, because that would be even greater. What is required is that you show effort. Not "some" effort, but just regular effort, though a lot of effort would be amazing. We may be doing this for the MOBA community, but we should also have fun with it. :)
Thank You!!!
