Pokemon Genesis

This could actually be very helpful. The game currently has animated battle sprites; we might need to return to static that if they lag too much on slower computers.

Yes, that's a good idea. I was going to end up testing it on a library computer myself but it'd be helpful to get someone with a low range computer to try it out. Hopefully there won't be any issues.

Could you do 2 separate downloads?

I might end up doing that.

New screens! Still a major WIP, here's Hearth Town at night.

Hey. I'm looking forward to playing this as soon as it is available to be played. I can't wait to see what new Gym Leaders I can battle and defeat and what new Pokémon (if there are custom-made Pokémon that are to be added to the game) I will be able to encounter, battle and capture. New events, in-game, would be a plus.

There won't be fakemon, but definitely some modified forms of Pokemon. Thanks!

Hello Sunbean.

I checked out your updates and overall game and it's looking like everything is coming along very nicely and I was wondering if you still need some of those current positions help.

I was wondering when it comes to storyboards, what would you like the person helping to do? I think I would be good at team building because I have been doing it quite frequently recently so what help would you need for that if you still need that kind of help.

Thanks for seeing this and have a great day/night.

Hello! Right now I'm only looking for help with scripting, otherwise I'm not looking for more team members. Thanks for offering to help, though.

In other news, I am finishing off a big chunk of the game and we're officially more than halfway to the first release. I've been pushing it back a bit, but right now I can say that if all goes smoothly a beta will be ready by November.

Hello o3o just stopping by to check how is this game doing?

[Simon]

Seeing as Sunbean hasn't been active since the end of October, I'm gonna lock the thread til she returns. When she does, she can PM me so I can unlock it.

[Sunbean]

Updated the first post and title to reflect changes in the project. I know it's a like completely new game now but I don't see the point in making a new post when most of the assets are the same! I'll be uploading new screenshots tomorrow.

Huh. I completely forgot about this. Apparently, I was impressed enough with this to follow it, so I'm interested to see how the game looks now.

Hehe, it has been a year so that's understandable.

Feel free to not answer if it's not supposed to be known yet, but is Elise Lenora's daughter? . o . They look similar, they're both from Unova, and both have an interest in science.

She is!

just a little update to keep this thread alive, I'm working on portraits for the gender select screen. still a wip but...

I had a fun time making them, just modified the punk trainer sprites by naphae on DA and it worked out pretty well so far. Next will be the GN character.

edit: Updated image to show some minor improvements.

those are awesome!

[Monochrome_Complex]

This looks beautiful so far. Cute characters too, and so happy to see that gen 5 love.

[Sunbean]

Wanted to post a little something I've been considering, which is making the sprites Gen 4 instead.

Not decided yet because I have done quite a few gen 5 sprites already, but I feel that gen 4 might fit the tiles a bit more, with the gen 5 sprites it seemed almost like the player character was a bit too tall for their surroundings.

Also, there's a bit of a sneak peek at the PC's house, which you'll find yourself actually visiting pretty often!

That said, I would love to hear thoughts, and look forward to sharing more.

It looks great so far I love the room design, and am curious as to why we will be visiting so often (for healing up or other mysteries?)

One last update for today, a remake of Floaroma Town in Sinnoh, where you'll start out before moving on to the Atora region.

Here's a map of the first town you will be visiting in Atora, if you'd all like to see it.

Also, a bit of an alternate look to the fem protagonist I thought up while working on the artwork... (very large image sorry!!)

Something else I'd like to announce, I'll be opening up beta testing for episode one in mid-late October, and depending on how that goes can push the release from December to November, finger crossed. I expect the release will be December, though. I'll be needing only a few people so just message me if you're interested.

Sorry to keep spamming posts in a row, but today's update are the three Pokemon you'll choose as a starter. Still considering whether to go for Numel or Magby but for now it's Numel.

[Sunbean]

Last update for a while. The next one will be in December when the game is ready~

Few misc. screenshots! Sorry about the random color glitches, my gif maker is pretty shit.

Fem protagonist is WONDERFUL AAAAH

I love the features you planned, I can't wait to see the final release In fact, just the other day I was wondering "What if, instead of going back to the Pokecenter and trying again after you lose a fight, you just continued on with the story?" And then this happened ^-^

Although I have to ask, what exactly does a "Game Over" entail? Do you start over from your last save point, or do you have to start from the very beginning O_O"
