Game Progress

I have a little update I'd like to announce for the demo. The graphics are done! But mapping and eventing might take me awhile since You know,

I'm still new to using Essentials so if I have to estimate it'd probably take around 2-3 weeks. This is just a guess so I could be off by just a tad but let me make myself clear, this is a passion project meaning that I could drop it at times and if I feel like making progress on the game I'll do so at my own pace. But let's get back to the topic at hand. So I decided to update my game to v20 since I don't really need to add gen 8 it just so happens to have the QOL items built in so it might save me time in the future. Oh, speaking of future, a speed up button! I saw that the Reborn games have it so maybe one day I could but this is too early in the project so maybe somewhere around chapter 7 I'd like to add it. But I kept you people long enough. Go live your lives, do something, I don't know, Whatever makes you happy! 

Character teasers

Hi guys! I have some new stuff to show off and these are some of the characters that you will see in the demo and I want to introduce some of them to yall.

The rivals

This is John, a kid who ran away from home with his sister Angel to have a better life but the problem, he has a massive ego and he thinks that outsiders of Moonlight City ( a city I will add in the future.) are trash and that only he is the best one around. Well, what are you waiting for? Humble him!

This is Angel, a girl who is known for her sassy nature and headstrong ideals that wanted to get away from a toxic home environment and little is known that deep down, she feels a little guilty for abandoning their mother but the thing is, their mother has anger issues and the way she handles them is by taking her anger out on her children. Because of this Angel believes that it's time to go and she took her brother with her and never looked back. 

The gym leader

And the last to take the stage is Leafia, a girl that on surface, is a nice caring quiet individual who cares for people, Pokémon, and nature itself.

But she has a dark past, her parents are rich and they believe money is all that matters and that the reason she and her sister was born in the parents' mind was to make the family even more rich. Leafia along with her sister, go outside to have a place to lay low for awhile. It was quite a happy memory for the sisters but unfortunately, her parents found out and to make an example to her sister, they decide to throw out Leafia. While standing in the rain in tears, a wild Leafeon comes to her aid and they make a wooden hut together and since then, she stayed at that cabin she built as a reminder that she doesn't need her parents to survive. 

In regards to field effects

Ok so, remember what I said about adding field effects? It turned out to be quite an undertaking and I'll hopefully add them around Chapter 5 since by then I'll have some sort of foundation to work off of in the future. If you're curious about what version of essentials I'm using it's V19 because I don't really want to add gen 8 Pokémon but I want to add the QOL stuff that it brought to the table like nature mints and exp candies but for right now, I don't know much about scripting so until I could get someone on the team with more knowledge, you're going to have to grind until then so sorry. 

Oh and here's a potential field I plan on adding.

Darkness field

Increases dark type moves by 1.5x

lowers physical move accuracy by 0.5x

increases light based moves by 1.2x

Dark types gain an evasion boost by 1.2x

moves that remove the field: Flash, sunny day

Title screen showcase

So here's the most basic title screen I can come up with. Don't worry though, until I can get an artist, this is just temporary.

Also, since my motivation is back, I may as well work on the game. sorry for my absence I just felt so useless for awhile. 

I'm going to be honest, I feel like my motivation for my game is kinda falling right now and I feel like I haven't accomplished much bar making two custom sprites and tiny edits. I don't really know how to make these new items appear in the bag and since I have no idea how to script, I cant really do very much. So, I'm gonna take a break for a while to get my motivation back. In the meantime, this game is on hold. Please understand that I can only do so much before it gets too much.

Hey are you interested in helping me with my game?

I'm currently how to use essentials so wish me luck.

Hey, so I'm currently waiting for people to join the team and I probably won't work on the project until a team is formed. No the project isn't dead I'm just gonna chill until then aight? K, thanks.
