Ironbound 110 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What with all that talk about the ethics of Pokémon eugenics and everything recently, I suddenly remembered that your Team Splicer was doing some not-too-correct research on genes... And your game is called Xenogene... Did I just discover the plot? Link to post Share on other sites

Phi-Bi 48 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I vote for differently typed starters so I can have ice or ghost mono. And since it's April 2016, want to say happy 1st anniversary for the game development ^^. Just a question, what is the most difficult/time consuming process of developing Xenogene? Never got involved in game dev so I never know about that, I guess it's coding and/or making custom music? Anyway, looking forward for more reveal whether it's artwork, screenshot, or anything~ Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, looking forward for more reveal whether it's artwork, screenshot, or anything~ Good luck! Thank you very much! To be fair I sort of forgot that this month would mean that it's been a year since I've started working on this game but LOL Also, regarding the thing that's most time consuming, it's probably creating the graphics and the music. I tend to put a lot of care and effort in those things, so they usually take the longest for me to make (minus spriting, since I work pretty fast with those.). Out of the two, music would still be more time consuming as I have to constantly experiment with sounds and melody lines in order to make it sound good, and that's... Actually genuinely challenging. I have to make another good 23 songs for the game just for V1 only, so I'm far from done with those, oops The scripting part is probably the thing that would come close after that though, but I just have to figure out how things work, after those I think I'll be good to go and work faster regarding those things as well.

Ironbound 110 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Happy anniversary of making this game! Looking forward to so much tbh it isn't even funny. (Steel leader among others) keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Zumi 2466 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Global Mods Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well, I'm free from school for a few days and I don't have any homework, so I've been working on some more key visuals tonight... And here's a sneak peek! :] This is an image that'll appear in V1 as well, but where it'll appear is something I'll leave for you guys to discuss. I wonder what it could be about :^) Link to post Share on other sites
mde2001 236 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That looks awesome Zumi! I have no clue what it is though. It looks like something descending from the sky, that is showering the land with radiant light. It must be a dedenne falling from the sky I don't know- probably some legend.

Ironbound 110 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Must be a giant Magnezone. Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted April 16, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted April 16, 2016 I upvoted the post before I even opened the image, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyaloom 2 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hai, I'm posting in this thread too! Speaking of the image, the first thing that came to mind was a giant Garchomp (with only its head visible). But on second thought, I don't think it's very plausible... Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Chaos 9 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 clearly something from the heavens is coming down to save us right???? Link to post Share on other sites
Ironbound 110 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It may be a floating spaceship or island or something. We might be ascending to it, not it bearing down on us. I still think it's a giant Magnezone. Link to post Share on other sites

Cobalt996 10 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It's the region's professor, watching Oak descend from the heavens to tell you that you really shouldn't ride a bike indoors. All joking aside, great (partial) artwork! Link to post Share on other sites
Ironbound 110 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Oh yeah. I wonder who the professor will be. Is it you, Zumi? Or is the professor going to be Prof. [insert tree name here] again? Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Zumi 2466 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Global Mods Share Posted April 16, 2016 Oh yeah. I wonder who the professor will be. Is it you, Zumi? Or is the professor going to be Prof. [insert tree name here] again? It is indeed the latter, ahahha I actually mentioned her already somewhere, but she's called professor Laurel! She doesn't really get a proper introduction until V2 though, so that's why I haven't shown her off yet :] Link to post Share on other sites
Ironbound 110 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Oh, I see. I also like the fact that you chose Laurel, as female professors usually aren't named after tall trees but go for a shrub or vine name. Granted, laurels can be a tree, but they're more commonly a bush. I wonder why the professor doesn't have a full exposition in V1, though. Rather breaks the mold there, what?

Granted, laurels can be a tree, but they're more commonly a bush. I wonder why the professor doesn't have a full exposition in V1, though. Rather breaks the mold there, what? Laurel is an extremely busy professor, so most of the time she's out and about to get business done! That's why Adelinde does the job of letting you choose your Pokémon in V1, since at that time Laurel will be out on an errand. You'll briefly bump into her though, but she won't get a proper introduction until V2. Link to post Share on other sites
Zargerth 254 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I guess Mew and Mewtwo might be somewhat relevant in this game, as Mewtwo was created by using Mew's genes (and if Viri's post is anything to go by). It would be kinda cool to find out that the professor had something to do with Mewtwo's creation. I mean, at some point of the game the professor or Team Splicer gets their hands on Mew and later on they successfully create Mewtwo (well, successfully is used loosely here).

Global Mods Zumi 2466 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Global Mods Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just a heads up: I was planning to make more progress on the game in the upcoming week but... Seeing as I got the extension panel for school this block, it seems like things will have to wait a while ;_; I'll still try to get some stuff done, though! I just will not have a whole lot of time to work on the game, seeing as I have some other things to worry about as well. After next week thursday or friday I have a week off though, so after that I should be able to get some more done. Link to post Share on other sites

Global Mods Zumi 2466 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Global Mods Share Posted April 26, 2016 MUSIC UPDATE TIME + HELP WANTED HELLO PEOPLE IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE THE LAST TIME I MADE A SONG SO HERE IS ANOTHER SOMEWHAT MAJOR UPDATE ...let's just say i tried I'm not entirely too sure about this one, but this is the song for the forest which you will travel through! It's located between Lillica village (the village where you get your starter Pokémon) and Celandine city, which is also where the name of the forest comes from. i know, very original *COUGHS* but doifgusodfihjkds For this song, I tried going for a sound that's a bit eerie at first, but later on gives off a serene and calming feeling. After all, the forest is one of the first areas you go through, so it's not supposed to be very intimidating. Or at least, I hope the song gives off that vibe because uh... I've been sort of stuck on music lately. Which leads me to the next subject: I need help with creating the music for the game. How to qualify for music artist If you think you're capable of providing music for the game, please send me a PM with some examples of the music you've created, preferably through soundcloud or another streaming website. I can also download files you provide, but know that it's not the best way since, well... I'm sort of scatterbrained and lose track of where I keep my files often, so it's better if I can just bookmark a web address. After you've sent me your demo's, I'll take a listen to it. If I think it meets the standard of the quality I'm looking for, then I'll let you know! Seriously though, if help could be offered for the music, I'd really, really appreciate it because it'd mean I could focus on getting the rest of the game done (so graphics and all that jazz), which I feel is lagging behind enormously due to the amount of music I still have to compose. Knowing that I have someone else to help me out with the music would make it easier for me to decide what I have to work on as well. Of course, I will still make songs for the game myself as well! Just that being able to split the workload with some people would be very nice for the previously mentioned reasons c: Thank you in advance! Link to post Share on other sites
