So I haven't gotten very far in the game yet, but I did get an impression of it and have a few things to say.

Firstly I really like the idea of having the choice between all different types of pokémon as your starter, but some tweaking may be needed. For instance I love Togekiss, but Togepi just simply sucks. I saw that for some pokémon, like abra, you gave them egg moves to make them useful. Unfortunately for Togepi the only attacking move (If you can even call it that) is metronome and as you can imagine this can pay of terrible in trainer battles or when you're trying to catch a pokémon. So maybe consider giving togepi an egg move as well, even if it's just peck.

I liked the custom sprites too, even though there weren't a lot of them (as far as I have seen). You definetly have your own style and you should keep up the good work. The mapping was a bit empty though and at times simply random (I mean there's a rock insinde a building). So I think you can improve on that point as well.

The intro of the story was perhaps a bit unnecessary, in my opinion it would be much more fun to encounter the villains without knowing of their existence beforehand, making the whole deal a bit more mysterious. This is just my personal opinion so take that any way you like.

At last I haven't had an encounter with a hollow ghost yet but the concept sounds amazing. I've never been a fan of fakémon, unless it's only like a handful, but I do like altered forms of pokémon. Maybe I'm just weird like that?

In conclusion, Don't take my critique too harsly as this is just the first episode and perhaps your first game. you're just starting out and finding your way in what you want, I feel like you have a passion for this and can learn a lot in a short amount of time. try tweaking some stuff, take risks. If it doesn't work get rid of it and if it does don't change it. I'm looking forward to play more of this and wish you the best of luck on chapter 2.

Yeah I will tweak that. I actually checked all of the starters to make sure they are at least usable, but didn't think far enough with Togepi

Thank you. Yes there aren't many yet. Most of the graphics are still the ones from essentials. It will take some time to get more done, but I'm working on it.

Me neither. I do agree with you! So you're not weird for that :)

 

Thank you very much for your feedback! THis will help me improve the game in the future.

how do i download this via google drive?

 

do i need to sign in?

You just click on the link and it takes you to the overview of this file. On the top right corner should be a download symbol, click on it and it should start the download.

I'm not sure about the being logged in thing, but it's probably helpful.


If you have any trouble downloading it, let me know.

I dont know if this is a bug,but so far every trainer and even wild mon,can tell when my zorua is using illusion.For example a trainer had a pidgey and my zorua had transformed into a misdreavus but it still went for tackle. It was lvl 8 so it atleast knew sand attack as well .Another time my zorua had transformed into lilipup and a wild misdreavus kept going for crowl and spite but never psywave(i caught that misdreavus so i know it did know psywave)

Edit:Also when you get accepted to black syndicate,the dude with blue's sprite(i dont remember his name),says ''Welcome to Red syndicate''

This probably is an issue with the AI. I will have a look into it and see if I can figure out whats going on.

Hollows? Was this Inspired by Detergent or something? Windex?

 

 

Also, can you make an Original Trainer Sprite? I don't really enjoy playing as a Red Sprite.

No it wasn't. Actually the orignal idea was based on the fact that most times you see ghosts in a movie or something, you can't touch them or hurt them with any physical objects. And then somehow one thought led to the other and I was thinking "Actually hollow sounds pretty badass".

There will be a new trainer sprite, most likely for the next episode.

Also, how do you beat the first puzzle? The One before the Starter?

 

Never Mind, Found out how.
