I know what you're thinking

"make our own Gundam series?! that's crazy we'd never be able to do that"

We can do it though, if 4 chan can make a visual novel game and 7 chan can make erotic comics then we can make a Gundam Series we're a big enough fans and big enough a community to know what clicks with other fans of the series and get things done efficiently and so I believe we can do this.

Now I'm an artist, I love drawing robots so I think ill be able to draw all your ideas starting off, you can jump in with your own sketches, that'd actually be helpful, but I just want to say; I'm not a writer, that's where you guys come in:

What I suggest we do is we either come up with characters or we come up with the story first, its your call I'm just the artist, then we either work our way up to story boarding the first Volume, now I'm not going to hog being the artist, everyone else is welcome to draw instead of me infact you'd be welcome to do it, this is a collaboration and anything you bring to the table will be appreciated immensely.


LIST OF THINGS TO DO

  • Name ourselves

  • Design and discuss characters and universe and Mobile Suits.

(Create series Zaku 2, Create Series GM, Create Series Char Aznoble arc type, own version of newtype? like x-rounder or innovade, create initial gundam, create half way series upgrade, End of series Mobile Armour that protagonist has to battle)

  • Construct Story line and plot points around the attributes listed in previous task

  • Write Script

  • Do reference sketches and concept art

  • do Story boarding for first Volume

  • Finish Vol 1 release to Newgrounds and other places

  • Begin Vol 2 repeat until series finish

If I've missed anything then it'll be added.

TL;DR - We're Making our own Gundam Series in our own Universe, Everyone can help, The series is open sourced, I'm an artist and so can you, List of shit we need to do, side notes.

Three most important rules of all:

  • NO MARY SUES / GARY STUS ALLOWED.

  • Be Original and Creative in your Mobile Suit Designs.

  • Stay away from Good VS. Evil scenarios, as that's not what Gundam is about whatsoever
