Hello! I am currently thinking about a game I someday would like to develop for cellphones (like iphone and android). It's a mix between a visual novel, board game and a card game. I have no idea how to program or what to use to program my game, so if you read this and think you can do it and would like to help, please tell me! As for myself, I would think up the cardsystem, story, characters and work as the artist (I draw manga). Here's a quick concept of the game! It is by no means finished, it's just a start up idea. You are a regular girl at school, until you one day get magical powers to fight evil (the usual). You find teammates to pair up with through the story and you will get cards of them to use in battles. Every teammate has their special ability. You can change the ability and powers of your teammates by pairing them up with magic cards and transform them (usually they get a new fitting outfit in the card). In battles, you use both your teammates to fight and spell cards that have different abilities too. So how is it a board game? There are different kinds of boards. For example, the story starts at school, so this board is a map of the school. You roll the dice one time each day to move forward, where you land depends on the dice. you can land on a spot that will give you an item, money or energy for example, or one that will give you a card. You can also pass enemies, so you will have to fight with the deck you have created. As you have walked a specific amount through the board, the story will progress. When the school arc is over, a new board will appear, for example the city, and new stories and fights will come along with it. This is one part of the game. Another part is an online feature. You can fight against friends of strangers to train your teams. Then you can use money you've collected in the game to buy decks and get more cards to build your team. I am very sorry if the text is confusing, I'm writing straight from my head right now and this is a rough sketch of the idea. What I'm mostly wondering is if anyone knows how it would be possible to create this game and how I can find a programmer to help me. Thank you for reading <3

Ooh thanks everyone for their help and support, really ;v; <3 I'm very happy so many are so helpful! As for Amnesia, I was thinking about doing a read along like she is doing before, if I wouldn't find a psp hacker. But since she's already doing that, I will only pick the project up if I can find someone to hack the psp version. I'm not sure about the android version, especially if somebody else is already doing that (though if it's basically the same thing, maybe I shouldn't pick the project up if somebody else is already working on it) /Saica

Damn :c thanks for the answer! Most of the games I would like to translate are for psp, like Hiiro no Kakera and Amnesia!

Thanks! Do you know if it would work with psp games too?

Btw! since hacking is very complicated... Does anyone know how Visual Novel Reader works? I heard it's pretty easy to use to translate otome games, but does it only work for PC games? /Saica

Aaeru: Thank you! <3 Xion: Ooh that's very nice of you! Thank you! <3

Thank you! ^^

Hello! Thank you for your interest <3 When we're in need of proofreaders I'll definitely tell you! And if a hacker comes along I'll ask him/her to teach you if possible! ^^ I just started a site and if you have any suggestions for it, please tell me! I'm not really sure what to write tbh heheh www.otomeido.wordpress.com /Saica

So! I just got the site running! I worked pretty fast since I want to start reqruiting members ^^ so it's no completely done but it'll have to do for now! I named the group "Otomeido", the best I could come up with ^^'' http://otomeido.wordpress.com/ For now, there's only me on the Team page, but please write a message here if you'd like to join and I'll pm you shortly <3 Also, even though I'm the founder, I'm going to need a lot of help and suggestions so feel free to come with ideas etc. ^^ /Saica

Thank you so much!!

Thanks, I will do that then! ^^

Oh, anyone with ideas how I can make a free website quickly? Or should I just make a forum or something? /Saica

I'm so happy so many people want to help me out ;v; First off, I'm going to start up a website somehow! (a free one, I'll have to look around how to do it) or a blog or something, then I will write down there on the "staff" list, everyone that wants to help out and what you want to do, until I feel I have enough people for every area! So expect a pm from me later asking you a few questions and asking for your help <3 Again, Thank you so much! /Saica

Hello there! ^^ I am, as probably a lot of you here, an otome game lover! ~ And is obviously disappointed in the English otome game market (thank god for hakuoki) The existing groups that translates otome games doesn't really seem to pick up the games I want >_< Sooo I'm basically wondering if there are some good people interesed in starting a translation Group with me ^^ (if this question is allowed here). I would buy the games and help with translating, but of course I'd need more translators and hackers (I have no idea how to do that kind of stuff). If someway possible, I'd like to encourage the players to actually buy the game and not download it (I Heard there's one Group that has made it so you have to buy it Before applying the English patch so you can play but I don't really remember how), since, of course, I want them to support the companis creating the games! Wow I'm just babbling aren't I D: well if anyone's interested or have any good ideas, please tell me ^^ Games I'm interested in translating: 1. Hiiro no Kakera 2. Amnesia 3. Any Otomate Game Please ask me if you have any questions! Website: http://otomeido.wordpress.com/ /Saica
