Just Finished School. Bump, getting back to work on this project. :)

Got a new tileset, revamping my maps in the next day/days. Ill get them up soon :D

Been a few days, Still looking for people :=O Getting help scripting a quick-time action system, so if you're interested in helping you should hop in (:

Well I'm just saying there's plenty of pokemon games where you're not a trainer. Your job in this game wont be to catch a party of pokemon to defeat the gym leaders and make it to the pokemon league, but that to me is what makes it more indulging. The difference is that its not typical, and you won't expect the end results before you beat it. I know what you mean that its probably not what alot of fans are looking for, But I'm mostly making this for me Just because i love the idea of pokemon, I just wish they would try to broaden it a bit. Targeting children is great, but I think they can reel in adult gamers more often is the deepen the story and gameplay, Like what i'm trying to do here.: O ~~~~~ Also, on this game note, been sick last few days - getting back to my project tomorrow. Sorry chaps :(

Sorry but I don't. I think you should play it before you hate on the name. This is supposed to be a new type of Pokemon Series for a Reason, that's why I'm starting at the beginning with a different storyline. After catching 600 pokemon throughout the past few games, doing the same thing over and over again is hella boring. Besides, there's 500 pokemon fan games that already do that, so why would anyone want to touch mine if its the same as the other look-alikes? I'm trying to be different, you don't have to like it just because its not your Cookie-Cutter Pokemon.

No. you're not trying to catch all 151 pokemon, if that's what you mean. But you can end up getting any pokemon you want but its situational and you don't need them to win the game. It'll be easier to explain once i get the story fully established and stuff.

Done, if this is resolved I should have a demo out within the week ( next friday hopefully. )

I'm available now, I'm usw gmt -7 arizona time now: 3:40. Im always available usually. :o

Its sorta hard to explain. You are a trainer but how the story plays out pokemon are uncatchable. You do get an ability to reclaim the pokemon to your side which is pretty much catching, and then you can use them in battle. So you can catch pokemon, just not the way you would do it in a regular pokemon game. Im not finished with this because its not at the top of my to do list. XD once i finish how it works ill post a full dialogue.

Btw i need your help with putting something together. can we teamviewer or something?

I didn't want to explain this in detail because its really confusing without seeing what i mean. I'm going to try to explain this. Depending on different choices, you obtain a power that lets you reclaim the pokemon to the light. It becomes part of you and you obtain its powers/ ability to use it in combat. Think of it like catching a pokemon and then having the ability to do certain things while you use it, and receiving certain bonuses. Obviously im still tweaking it, so i didn't say anything about it :P Still deciding on how you use that power, whether it be the unit has to be near death before you can reclaim its powers or something of another effect. I'm almost 100% sure i'm not going to have a battle scene like this: Encounter pokemon battle it get it low throw pokeball you caught pidgey!@! yay! ~~~~ But i do want to have things that go along with the storyline, Like you end up finding an Eevee that happens to be fending off Primeapes attacking Viridian City. This is just an example, but you would help it and be able to take it along with your journey. Pokemon in this game I view as like Summons. If you've ever played Kingdom Hearts, they'd so something like that, only i plan on doing more with mine. Making them almost become a part of you. Not going into too much detail, because its too much spoilers. But to answer you, you will be able to have pokemon do things for you. Will you throw and catch each pokemon and have a party of only pokemon? No. Will you party alongside pokemon and have them battle with you/ effect you in a multitude of ways? Yes.

Thanks! if you ever want to help let me know :B):

Forgive me for that guys. I was crunched for time and moving my comp from dorm -> home. put that up in a quick bit, ill fix it now. EDIT: Done, Edited.

To make it easier on you i only need the original pokemon 151 just for this game (will need the rest in the future but thats a long way away), This game is the kanto region based on red/blue/yellow/green and only contains those original pokemon. I plan to make sequels which go on and on like the games currently do. For the main character, I dont have one yet. want to try your luck at making me on?just an overworld one for now. Give it a shot. i have no idea ill look at that sprite in a bit, right now having issues starting my game. :X

My game Starts out like your ordinary pokemon game. A professor gives you the basics, you shrink down into little you. Only, this is where it changes. Storyline: Characters: Battle System: Q: What do you need help with? A: Making tiles/ Sprites. I have alot of ideas and I can't do everything because my experience in all of the areas required isn't as broad as I would like. if you're willing to help, and can Sprite, Make/Edit tiles, please lend us a hand. I need especially atm tiles of buildings/ terrain thats destroyed and fits the "pokemon" look. Obviously ill show you what i have so far and would love to see what you can Do. A2: Battle Sprites. Not worrying about these yet because they're probably going to be the most tricky to come up with. If you have experience for making bsprites for types of battle systems like the one above, I'd love some info. Q: Anything else? A: Yes, Also would like overworld animations. I'm not sure how to explain this, but lets say I wanted to have Pokemon using skills in a custom Event made in the town. Well, I would require moves, or animations, for example if Charizard used Fire blast I'd like to be able to show it being used. So the people can recognize the skill as it should look from manga/ game. Obviously that'd be difficult, and i'm sure thats one of the last things to worry about for now. A2: Also, I wish someone who was just god-mode at RPG XP could just teamviewer with me and if i had questions could just show me how to fix them. Honestly an hour of that would just make me a better game maker x10. If i had someone like that on my team i'm pretty sure I wouldn't be having the issues i'm having now with my game. Q: Wish List? A: How I would love to have 3d Beautiful Cutscenes. Would love to show you wake up and say what was that noise after hearing a roar, then showing a beautiful Cutscene of Charizard flying through your town roasting your buildings and townfolk. that'd be epic. Of course, thats doesn't seem to be doable and I'm moving on without this for now. A2: Voice Acting. I can do some good voices, but I doubt i know any girls that would be interested, or if this even matters right now. This is probably last thing to do on the list, because There's plenty of more important things to worry about. A3: Choices effecting Storyline. I would love to have alternate endings, choices effecting gameplay, Options to acquire different parties, Etc. My team So far: Me: Everything. whatever needs to be done i'm the one working the longest on it. I'm not the best at any of it, and I always encounter problems because I suck. Though I have the ideas and the will, And i'm hoping that will push me to the end. Phoenix: Scripter. Hes studying Ruby. Going to help me later.( Not much time to contribute, would love someone else.) Inari: Scripter. Majoring in coding/programming. Doesn't know ruby but doesn't need to. He's a code boss. Except, He's hella lazy and rarely wants to do any work. DeviantArtGuy: He's making my sprites here and there. not much time to contribute either, would love someone who I could ask and they could do a multitude of work for me. Diagostimo: He's been a huge help to me. Showing me things, teaching me priorities, and resizing pokemon sprites as well as eventing. He's busy, and therefore I could still use someone who could contribute time to spriting, as well as the things below. Emmy: She's my hottie musician. plenty of freesites for pokemon music too, So unless someone specializes in making/finding pokemusic i'm p covered here. (Tiler): (Scripter): (Mapper 2): (Spriting): (Other): (I could be on this team): If you think you have an idea or something to contribute, please shoot it at me and if you can show it being used effectively or already have it done, Show me and I'll tell you what I Think. Or if you're the type that if I gave you work you could print out just what I need, this is another type of person that I'd really love to have on the team. So please, if you're great at making things and have free time, throw some help my way kayyy? :D If I left anything out or have any questions, PLEASE post below.
