Wow, and you have the balls to tell other people that their graphics suck? The irony is unbearable.

Oh, and lets not forget that your so called 'quotes from elsewhere' are useless.

Where did I say other peoples graphics suck? Also deleted the quotes if you hate them so much.

Ever played Stick Online? The graphics are similar to that, google Stick Online and its actually a good style. (Although I admit it doesn't fit pokemon very much)

Edit: Are you talking about adbarlian castles? They where black and white graphics.......

Here is a screen of the menu loging in: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/jonsploder/Login.jpg

So what? Your Graphics are drawn in paint i think xD Just look at your own games and then criticize someones... Just a little Tip rethink of your graphic style ;) Maybe the GUI looks a bit good but the maps aren´t good :)

[Tentacruel13]

No offense, but your graphics suck. They were drawn in paint and if you knew a thing about creative design you would ahave someone make tiles for you or obtain tiles in a from a resource.

[Flameguru]

I never liked side scrolling games (except for Mario).

Those graphics are hideous and I don't like the whole idea of this game.

[+Sneasel™]

Ewww...*Looked at graphics*
Normally i don't care, but those just really take the fun out of going though many marvelous woulds of side-scrolling adventure!
Up those up a bit!

[Callydude™]

Try doing your graphics in Photoshop or Paint.Net.The trainer isnt so bad.If you want any web help ust PM me.I can get you a good free domain name. http://www.v3.com

[RomsMaster]

Hey, I dont think that background is bad. It's just that you guys haven't seen any Pokemon games with those kinds of backgrounds. I think its unique.

[Jake]

Hey, I dont think that background is bad. It's just that you guys haven't seen any Pokemon games with those kinds of backgrounds. I think its unique.

Yes, we have. People try to pull it off every now and then, and the projects quickly die, or the backgrounds are changed.

[jonsploder]

Hmmmm, I'd like to see YOUR great games guys.
Anyway the graphics for the background might suck to you guys, but it is all how you look at it. *note* I did not make the graphics exept for the GUI and messages*
ANYWAY, the graphics aside I am focussing on gameplay. If the gameplay is good, then it will make up for temp graphics.
The reason why the graphics are so bad is because my BG artist had 4 days to do a 6891*771 map, HARDLY any time to do a scratch world. After that he went (and still is) on holidays. He has been on holidays for 2 and a half weeks now, and in half a week he will be back. I will ask him to edit the background now that it is big enough into better quality.

Edit: Some of you will be thinking that I am taking this badly but I actually am not.
I need the constructive critism to make it BETTER. Although due to feedback I will not release the demo now without far better graphics, otherwise it will trigger more critism. In a few weeks, maybe a month I will have changed the stlye a little, although I don't think it is as bad as you all are saying, you just haven't seen it beofre. And to anyone that has, gimme a link.

[jonsploder]

OK, here is a sample of the new girl trainer graphics. I don't think that you guys will find this one so bad, please tell me what is wrong with it if you do, I need to know so that we can inprove it.

[Bombah!]

I like the trainer^^
But look at the 2nd and 4th graphic under the bag.

And I don´t think the background is too bad, but it doesn´t look that professional.
But: Good gameplay is more important (for me).

Good luck,
Bombah!

[jonsploder]

Hmmm, thanks.

Are you saying that you want the graphics white and blanked out or to change it? Thanks.

[Bombah!]

I hope you talk about the trainer... If no, I don´t know what you mean.
If yes: There´s a blue (or green) space between the leg and the bag...

Anyway: How much Pokémon will it contain? (when it´s done... in a future far away^^)
All 493? Or less?

[jonsploder]

As many as we can fit, lol. Litterally that, as much as my spriter can do, and as much as can fit in the world. Althyough I am NOT going to jam it all in. I think that 8 pokemon in the first version will be enough, perhaps 12. There will be event pokemon also.

[Trace]

Hey, guys, behave. Just because someone can't make good graphics doesn't mean they can't be a critic.

Anyways, yeah, your graphics could use some improvement. Try giving it some actual texture. Pratice makes perfect.

The ideas in this game aren't horrendous, so don't worry about that. Just work on the graphics a wee bit.

[Cyrusman]

Gamemaker games is so easy to hack. I Suggest you to Hire hacker and then fix exploits with him :P...

[jonsploder]

Thanks Corn.

@Cyrusman, I have never hacked a gamemaker game before and never try=ied. How are they easy to hack. I will need to know to prevent people giving themselves lvl 99 stats and stuff, lol.

[Dalekz]

Hi everybody I am world sprite back from hols! and you can offend all my hard work as much as you like but, I want to let you know one thing! it was not done on paint!

[jonsploder]

Yup, It was done in something MUCH harder and difficult, lol.

The way that you can't tell the difference....

OK guys I have not updated this really at all.

I apoligise, here is the biggest update the game has seen as of date:

I am revamping the entire game into another gmk file so that I hope to lose all the bugs and tidy the game up. Also I am going to complete the battle system that has not started yet, but I have thought most of it out now. Also I will complete the menu ENTIRELY and I am going to port forward so that others can connect to me as well.

This is VERY big, it is the stage that takes the game from being a rough idea into a start of a game that will take it off the ground so much that it can not be left behind. Sure there will be still bugs, but if this is done then the important bits are done and all the rest of updates are just add-ons.

Because of this I expect that this will take about a month maybe more, but I can't confirm it. As soon as this is done I will need to add a bit more, but then I will release it.

[jonsploder]

OK guys, sorry for the double post but there is a "little" update. Infact massively big and it is the sprites of the pokemon. Now as previous coments where bad and all can I have some comments on these graphics. I dont mind critism, as long as it is constructive. Hopefully this can get the game 'back-on-track'.

Have fun and feast your eyes. If you dont like 'em please tell me WHY.

[Tentacruel13]

WHY do you insist on making a platformer view pokemon game. Pokemon isn't a platformer game. it is an RPG. Just because it is original doesn't make it good!

[jonsploder]

Ummm, because I am being original? Incase you havn't noticed ALL pokemon fangames are TRYING to be the exact SAME as the original. If you dont start anything new then its plain boring. Well even if it is good with a top-down view you are sill being the same and I dont get any motivation from that. You may I dont.

Also I dont think you can tell me that it isn't a platformer game, I DO PLAY POKEMON. I will make my game how I like, it is my choice, not yours to make for me.

Hey, nice way of taking Joshr_691's sprites and not giving credit! Sprite theft isn't took lightly anywhere! 1- If you found them, your stealing. 2- If someone else found them and did not mention that they're not their's, you would still be stealing since you didn't give credit to that person! *reports*

Damn, you beat me to the ranting :P

[jonsploder]

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that these are someone elses sprites! Can you please give me a link to the sprites so I can see for myself!? I am not taking an opinion yet as I am not sure you are correct, you may be mistaken. *contacting spriter NOW*

[Jake]

Near the bottom. (http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/customs/) Is that enough evidence? I can assure you that your spriter isn't Joshr either, since I know Joshr would never save sprites in anything but PwNaGe.

[Tentacruel13]

Every other game has a top-down RPG view and still has many new creative features. Take Omega Groundon's Pokemon Raptor for Example. Best game probally i have seen and still has very creative new features like the mining mingame. I too am making a game. Not finished enough to present it and I will have creative features. Bad graphics will make people want to puke on your game.

[jonsploder]

... Omega Groudon didn't make that. You need to know what you are talking about first, he makes RAPTOR.

OK I am very sorry, and it IS evidence. I am still trying to contact my spriter but I fear it is as you say.....

EDIT: He confirms it, but is still explaining to me. Wait a few minutes and I will have the story.

[Tentacruel13]

Yeah corrected that. Anyways hope you end up making a somewhat-decent game. I can't say much good about, but meh, I support you.

EDIT: Do you think you can show some more screenshots. You said photobucket wasn't workin for ya so try imageshack.

[jonsploder]

Thanks, this is a big blow for me being under this illusion. DARN thats annoying. But hopefully I can sort this out, worst case is doing the sprites again. I MIGHT move to original temporarily, but it could be only temp.

[Tentacruel13]

Think you can post some screenshots. This thread really isn't that active except for a few people.

[jonsploder]

OK, here is the email that we shared:

Look, that is obviously a lie.



1. You stole someone's sprites.

2. You didn't give them credit.

3. You lied to me.

4. You wll now have waisted my time, and the teams time.

5. You have distroyed my thread on the PC.

6. You have set back time for the games release date.

7. We may now have to use other top-down sprites now.



I am really sad about this and did not expect that you would do this to me and the others.

but before I explain why I have to tell you this.... I am not at my regular computer... my brother is (he kicked me out :( )... so there is no point in sending me IM's. I am using my sis's Laptop with no IM .

That was a quote from the thread on the pokemon community. Please explain!

I am very sad about this....

[Tentacruel13]

Wow, that really stinks. He actually stole someone else's sprites. I have someone who is helping me and gave me a bunch of sprites. I was looking at pokemon Cyrus atr it got updated and the exact same sprites he sent to me were being used in that game. Sucks for me, or Cyrusman.

[jonsploder]

Yeah, anyway the news is, (I dont know if it's good to you guys) that we are GOING to do top-down for the first demo just to give you guys something to do and a look around, while my I try and find a new spriter or figure this all out.

Long time no post or news.

Everything is done exept for some stuff that is posted below. Otherwise everything else is done.

I have polished EVERYTHING exept for ONE TINY TINY TINY thing, that I am hunting down now. All I need is a server and then its ready to go :D:D:D:D.

The problem is I need to find someone that can act a server. I can't use me as my PC is very slow and I dont have a great connection. As soon as this is done though I will give it to the staff and take testers.

Please post if you want to be a tester, I will accept 5. If you want to be a tester then you will have to hunt for bugs, although I have been hunting for a very long time. If you even find a TINY one, like a spelling mistake, random pixel, or things screwing please tell me.


Anyway to the server farm :P.

OK people, long time no see, lol.

The demo has and was been released a while ago. Check the site for info: http://www.freewebs.com/pokemon-linked which I made from scratch in HTML.

The game is downloadable and please tell me if you have any problems. I will edit this soon - when I have time. Feedback and constructive critisism are WORSHIPPED :D.

[feltpens]

I get "an unexpected error" when trying to load Client.exe.

[jonsploder]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, that happened to 40% of the people that got it.... Um, follow the guide on the forum, it is stickied. I cant link you to it, its against rules sorry.

Just follow it. You may need to register to post if you have any more errors. Does anyone else get this?

[sprugles555]

I laughed at your graphics, the heroes looked nice, but your map is ****!
Othere than that, good luck...

[jonsploder]

Hmmmm, that is the general problem is that the game has basicly changed COMPLETELY. I think I may have to start a new thread as the game is so different it has NOTHING to do with any of the posts in the topic now.

Mods please close this.
