Global Mods Zumi 2462 Posted January 23, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pokémon Xenogene: Offical Development topic ----- So, I'm giving in. I've been telling myself that I wouldn't make a topic for this yet until I was sure that I had enough to show off beforehand, but my way of working is so unstructured that I thought that maybe making this topic would actually help me get a proper rhythm to work on this game, so here we are! Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you my own fangame: Pokémon Xenogene! After having worked on Rejuvenation for this long, I decided around April 2015 that I wanted to make my own game as well, but stuff happened irl (exams, college, voluntary work for a community project and such) and it... Pretty much resulted in me having made little progress over the timespan of 8 months. BUT, like I said, that's why I'm making this topic, so I can start posting updates on the game every few days when possible! It may speed up the process of the game making as well, so let's hope that that'll happen too. This game, like most fangames, will update with episodes until it's finished. The first episode of this game will contain gameplay up to the second gym, as well as a few side quests and post-episode content. Progress on the first episode will be shown with the progress chart in the spoiler in this post, and the credits will update as stuff will be added to the game. Also, if you're interested in reserving a spot for beta tester, please let me know! I'd like to have a few people who would be willing to test the game once it's at the stage of being ready thus far. I may need people for other positions later on as well, but that's not the case as of right now. If I do though, I'll make sure to post here. ~* Screenshots (12/25/2017) *~ ~* Plot *~ Six years after moving to the Ivere region, you head out on a journey to challenge Ivere's Pokémon league after having been on a long wait list to receive your starter. But as a mysterious team which calls itself team Splicer stirs up trouble and some unknown, malevolent entities appear from the darkness, the region is cast under a shadow that will continue to stretch across universes unless someone puts a halt to it. Are you capable of finding the origins behind these occurrences? Or will you succumb to the lurking dangers? All you can do is start your journey and find out! ~* What can you expect in the game once it's fully finished? *~ - Elite Battle System (By Luka SJ) - - Custom UI - - Gen 4-styled graphics and custom tilesets - - 14 gyms and an elite 4 - - All 801 Pokémon will be obtainable (so gen 7 mons too!), including starters - - A completely original soundtrack made exclusively for the game! - - Custom field effects - - IV/EV Checker - - Advanced Pokédex - - Custom shinies - - Custom trainer/VS/overworld sprites - - Increased shiny rate (350/8192) - - Quick save - - Backup saves - - Custom moves and abilities - - Difficulty modes - ~* V1 Characters *~ ~* The protagonists *~ As of V1, you will be able to pick from three protagonists; Saber (female), Max (male) and Luca (nonbinary). Originally only the female and male protagonists were supposed to be available in V1, but I decided against it and added the nonbinary protagonist as well. All three protagonists have 3 skin colors to choose from! Saber Max Luca ~* The Rivals *~ Wynn In the game, Wynn is your neighbor and has been your friend for the past 6 years you've lived in Plumere town, before the start of the game. He'll embark on a journey the same time as you do, and you'll encounter him multiple times during the game. He's somewhat childish and has a generally positive outlook on life, but he's a bit easily provoked. He's a bit of a joker, but he knows how to recognize a situation in which he has to be serious. A generally reliable person and friend. Official artwork: Adelinde Adelinde is the second rival in the game you will encounter. She's friendly, calm, gentle and has somewhat of a serene aura around her which calms anyone in her surroundings, making her loved by those who know her. Despite having people around her who adore her, she has self esteem issues and therefore doesn't battle you as much. Also, her mom, professor Laurel, seems to be overly protective for some reason and refuses to leave her alone at the laboratory, so she's always around when Laurel is doing business in a nearby town. Official artwork: Enya A hotheaded lass and the third rival in the game. She has somewhat of a fiery and explosive personality, seems to have not a single grain of patience within her and claims to see the main character as their arch rival. Ironically, she's allergic to Fire-type pokemon and will go into a sneezing fit whenever she's around one. Where she comes from or why she's so impatient to get to wherever she has to go is shrouded in total mystery, though. Official artwork: ~* Gym leaders *~ Lucile The first gym leader and the mayor of Celandine city. All of the trainers that just started out travel to Celandine city to fight her and register themselves for the Ivere League by earning the Voltaic badge from her. Despite being the mayor, you can get her excited about things easily. She's somewhat of a ditz and leaps before she thinks into a situation, which usually ends up with her being in trouble for some reason or another. However, as a gym leader she (somewhat) knows how to take care of herself, so she won't back down from anything that may stand in her way to victory. Official artwork: Sander Despite being only 22 years old, Sander is an archaeological genius and has discovered multiple important artifacts at the dig site in the Southern Drylands, uncovering some of Ivere's forgotten history. Next to having done some important discoveries though, he's also an excellent battler and therefore has been assigned to be the leader of the Alcrea gym, which at the same time is also his research center. He's not really a talkative person while he's working though, so he likes to finish up battles swiftly so he can continue on his research. Although, lately he seems to be frustrated about something... Official Artwork: ~* Team Splicer *~ This team is shrouded in total mystery-- All that is known about them is that they appeared out of nowhere (although reasonably lowkey), and that they're doing research on Pokémon... Although it's not known exactly what kind of research they're performing. Either way, the way they're performing research is unethical as the Pokémon they run tests on are stolen from people or treated poorly, and therefore they're your main enemy in the game; you have to put a stop to them! Splicer grunts Official artwork: Splicer Admins Sierra Sierra is one of the admins of Team Splicer. As her clothes may already imply, she's very feminine and likes to dress up fashionably. However, that does not stop her from being one of the smartest people from Splicer, which allowed her to climb up the ranks as fast as she did. As for personality, she's pretty calm and collected and seems pretty indifferent towards a lot of things, but isn't afraid in the slightest to retort and stand up for herself if someone thinks they can just waltz over her (especially if it's regarding her being so feminine). Official artwork ~* Professor Laurel *~ Laurel is the Ivere region's professor. She has a deeply rooted interest in the friendships between Pokémon and their trainers, and has dedicated a vast amount of research on it. She's Adelinde's mother, and a rather protective mother at that; she constantly worries about Adelinde and doesn't want to leave her alone for a longer period of time, so whenever she's out on a business trip, she takes her daughter with her. When mother or daughter is around, you'll be able to find the other in the nearby area as well! ~* Progress *~ GRAPHICS# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # | Trainer sprites (100%)# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # | Overworld sprites (100%)# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # | VS Sprites (100%)# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # | Misc.

Cool Girl 86 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Woo hoo! Another fan game! I'll keep track of the progress. Also, if someone can at least do a wild pokémon location list or a written walkthrough, that'd be great too! Very excited for this! Looking forward to play. Will there be Mega Evolution? Also, will there be other protagonists like Reborn and Rejuvenation? Will there be non-binary characters? God, I'm so excited that I'm asking so many questions! Link to post Share on other sites

And as explained in the post, the NB protag will be in V2. And there will be other NB characters throughout the game as well! They simply just have to be unveiled yet, but for now... Who they are will remain a mystery c: Link to post Share on other sites

Global Mods Zumi 2462 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Global Mods Share Posted January 23, 2016 O: YOU FINALLY POSTED IT ZUMI GJ I'M SO PROUD OF YOU NOW HURRY UP WITH DEVELOPMENT AND LET US PLAYYYYY (even though this won't be for like, a while) I'LL DO MY BEST TO UPDATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! I'm aiming to update this topic with stuff I'm doing at least once a week (if not more), so I can get a steady rhythm going in getting stuff done for the game. Maybe even during breaks that I'll update daily, but that's yet to be seen. Either way I'll try my best to get stuff going now! c: Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Girl 86 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hey, let the woman take her time! I'm sorry to say this, but you forgot to answer this question. Will there be a wild pokémon location list or a written walkthrough at least? That way, when the game comes out, we can start working on the guide. Also, once all the protagonists come out, I'll be doing a popularity poll so that way, I know which character I would want to use in my first walkthrough. Keep up the good work and don't worry, I'm in no rush for the game to come out now! Link to post Share on other sites
