Welcome to the World of Pokemon!
(Developed in rpg maker xp) Many of you know me as an
experienced game developer who has been working Ryen for
quite a long time (almost a year, the first beta release will be
our one year anniversary). I've put a large amount of effort and
time into putting game together and improving and sometimes
starting from scratch because of errors I faced. Pokemon Ryen is
what in my opinion, will be the first of its kind. The game already
includes many maps and custom remixes (by megiddo). Our goal
is to become one of the longest, most complete running projects
around. We will acomplish our goal with the help and work of our
large team. Throughout Ryen you will face many challeges such as
having to travel half the region to acomplish a task or a difficult battle
with one of your many rivals. You might have to complete a quest to
continue your journey or face a Pokemon of legendary status but you
will overcome. We are trying to make this game extremely difficult to
keep everyone wondering what to do next or to advance in the game.
Even though the game will be difficult you will be awarded by getting
to view a new town or listen to a remix of a song older Pokemon players
might have heard before. Get ready because Pokemon Ryen is comig soon!

Your Story…

Imagine becoming the new champion of the kanto region, think
your journey is over? Do you think you can just head back home
and put everything behind? No, everything is just about to begin!

Prof. Oak has taken his time from his research over at a region named
Ryen to tell you that he's invited you to a cruise ship heading to the
Ryen region! The cruise ship is heading for Route 48 which is the
right the foot of Citric Beach. You'll fing Prof. Oak by his Research
buliding located in Citric Beach. Right before going into his buliding you'll get a
blast from the past... Your rival has come to Ryen aswell! He challenges you
to a battle only to discover that your Pokemon are missing! You immidietly
recognize your mistake and head for the port but the ship is already gone. What will you do? What will happen when prof.Oak discovers that your Pokemon are missing?
All these questions will be answered after you play Pokemon Ryen!

Team Galactic...

A group of villains has arisen in the region of Ryen. Their intentions are
currently unknown but they are spreading their mischief among Ryen.
They have been reported in Institutes, forests, Routes, and shores.
There has been a rumor going around that they are after world
domination but there is a larger matter at hand. A great power has
lost a loved one and he will do anything possible to get her back. He
will destroy, cause grief among many people, and even get rid of his own
to see her again. He will awaken a great power, a foolish decision he
will look down upon later. Because of this will put everyone's life at
risk, including his own... The wold will be torn apart and everything
will seize to exist. Stop it before it's too late... You... are the only one...

The myth...

Out of nothing came the great one...
He called upon his power...
There came Time...
There came Space...
Out of Time and Space one was to watch...
The one lived in the world of reverse...
The world of torn...
The world of disruption...
He watches waiting to rise...
Waiting to attack...
Among the weak hearted...
Among the strong...

There is one to stop one...
The chosen one...
He will call upon them...
They will bring one back...
One will fall...

Update! I forgot to put this in the post. It's just the male hero. I will post the girl hero once I finish fixing it.
Look at the attachment (made this a long time ago when I first started making this game).

[Luke128th]

Nice screens. You gonna be having Team Galactic in there since I'm assuming that you have Giratina, Origin form. And I'd wait until you have the first BETA and some more screens AND a good bit of features, such as the replacement for the PokeGear(I suggest you reimplement the PokeNav since it was my favorite.XP)

[shinylugia249]

I never thought of having Team Galactic but I will think about it. Thanks for your support!

[D R E ™]

I'm loving this wonderful game.

It looks great and I hope you succeed in making it.

PS- I'm loving the screenies!

^_^

[Luke128th]

You know what I don't understand? Why people us the D/P Map style. I like the advance generation map setups(That's is why I'm using that to reformat the Sinnoh map)

[shinylugia249]

Well, the DP map style shows off a lot of detail which gives a nice touch to the game.

[shinylugia249]

*Update!
You will be revisting the Hoenn region after you beat the Pokemon league!
You will meet a familiar character there aswell.
The game is now playable up to the first gym of the ryen region!
(look in the attachments for the map.)

[D R E ™]

Wow, I'm beginning to love this game already.

I love that Hoenn map.

Just one question how do you make those types of maps?

Any how maybe avatar can move this thread.

^_^

[shinylugia249]

I just took the original hoenn map and recolored it and made a couple of edits. If you want to make a custom DP style map then try looking for some tutorials. They are really helpful!

[D R E ™]

I just took the original hoenn map and recolored it and made a couple of edits. If you want to make a custom DP style map then try looking for some tutorials. They are really helpful!

Your pretty successful with it so could you post a link of a tutorial.

Just asking cause, I don't even know where to start lol.

^_^

[shinylugia249]

I don't Have 15 posts yet so I cant post links but just search on google.
Houndoomed made but I believe it was on another forum.

* Found it it's in the Pokémon Acanthite Forums.
It's in the the Art community section. After that go to the sprite shack
and then to the Spriting tutorials.

[D R E ™]

Yay, thanks a bunch.

You really helped out a lot.

And if you need any help with your project just pm me.

^_^

[shinylugia249]

*Update
The game now has a new surf sprite
(Look in the Attachments for the screenshot).

[sonic smash down]

cool dugung surf sprite man.

[shinylugia249]

Thanks. Just finished the Team Galactic event.
Videos/Screenies coming soon!

[sonic smash down]

shinylugia wanted me to post this for yall. its the galatic event vid

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_xGLGXtD8hs

[shinylugia249]

Thanks, any Comments on the the event? I didn't post the battle because the Galactic Grunt Sprite isn't done yet. More coming soon.

[Yuoaman]

I actually think this project has potential, and I think you're ready to post in the Games Showcase area...

[shinylugia249]

Thanks! I hope this game does get moved in the Games Showcase
soon but for know i will be just giving several updates and waiting for
more members to join the team.

*Update - The Team Galactic battle is now finished (look in the attachments for pic).

Credit to ironducksiredward for the team galactic
grunt sprite.

[shinylugia249]

Update!
The kanto Map is finished (Some places in kanto are already mapped).
Look in the attachments for the screenshot.

** Currently looking for an idealist. 1 - 3 positions Open!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey wow, a project with potential : D

I really like it! Especially your Region Maps, the Kanto Map done with D/P Graphics is really nice. Also very good screenshots ^_^ I'm really liking the Dewgong Surf Sprite. Can't wait to see a full post from you!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks! It means a lot hearing it from you (Neo eras is awsome!). The region Maps are really easy to make.
For the kanto map there will be a few edits that will be made (it looks empty to me).

[Vampire://Krimm]

Whoops, I spelled potential wrong x_x

No problem XD This game looks pretty good itself. Though I was wondering how you got the cities and routes on the Region map to line up exactly with the little square thing D: I'm having a problem with that.

[Yuoaman]

Awesome Region Map! I can't wait to see more!

[InMooseWeTrust]

I don't know if you would want me because I'm a n00b when it comes to using Pokemon Essentials, but I would like some experience in making an actual Pokemon game.

Right now I'm working on maps of all the regions for Pokemon Hall of Fame.

I also have a lot of bright ideas.

[shinylugia249]

Vampire://Krimm : To make the thing on the map line up with the icons take the map with no icons on it and divide it into square sections the size of an icon (town icon). It should look like a grid. Then add the icons in the square areas (where you wamt them). After you're done put the map back together.


InMooseWeTrust : Were you talking about being an idealist? If so then yes i need a buch of people to come up with many ideas.

[shinylugia249]

The first position to be filled up, Beta Testers! We are no longer looking for Beta testers. There are many more positions open so just Pm me if you are interested.

[PokemonPlatnum]

SL are you sure I can't use the green outside tileset....I'll ask permission when omega comes back from his hols..I need these tilesets to improve my game furthur...

[shinylugia249]

The trees are from wah. Go to their site and click on basic tiles (it will be in Spanish) There will be many tiles there. I just edited some of them to get tiles for the outside, snowy ouside, and partly snowy (and for events).

[PokemonPlatnum]

Can you post a link...
I can't find it..

[shinylugia249]

Here is the link(I translated it with google: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://wah.studiopokemon.com/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwah%2Bpokemon%26hl%3Den

[PokemonPlatnum]

i FOUND THE GRAPHIC BUT HOW DO I use them?
Can you not post the tiles plaese?

[shinylugia249]

Just add the tiles into the outside tileset. Pm me if you need help.

[shinylugia249]

Just to show everyone that i've been working on the game, here is an update (please comment) :

Bigger update and screenshots coming soon!

*Running and bike sprites finished!
Screenshots coming soon!

[Hall Of Famer]

I like the graphic style very much. Good job dude and please keep it up, just wonder why many people didn't realize this point...

[shinylugia249]

Thanks HOF, i like how your game is going too. I wonder how can program all those events (takes up too much time, you already have 2 regions in your game!).

[Luke128th]

I like it, especially the idea of using Team Galactic. The only thing I don't like is the battle screen text box. Change the colors. Green and orange just don't look that too good in my taste. Us Black for the outline of the box and grey for the inside. Just a thought ^_^! Also change the Battle stat boxes. They look like a mix of some other box with the original. Other than that, the game looks awesome!

[Hall Of Famer]

Thanks HOF, i like how your game is going too. I wonder how can program all those events (takes up too much time, you already have 2 regions in your game!).

Well, I did spend a lot of time implementing those events in my game so it's not suggested for you to do them' ll alone. You may need someone to help with the map and sprites so you can completely concentrate on modifying the scripts and other graphics. Btw, why didn't you post this game thread in Game Development Forum?

[shinylugia249]

If you meant the games showcase, then it's beacuse i wanted a team before posting it there, Now that i have everything I need I'll be able to post this in the Games showcase, but first i have to get it approved by Avatar. I have a new video! I will upload the video on youtube and post a link in a couple of mins.

[ryushin5]

great update man it's awesome this game has a lot of potential it is one of the best games i've seeen so far

[PokemonPlatnum]

Yo Shiny!
Thanks on the tiles you provided me I finally Implemented them you can see them on the thread...

[shinylugia249]

Yeah I saw them.They look really good just renember to credit wah not me because I didn't make them.

As promised here is the video. It's the galactic grunt battle!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7cnqslxksw

[PokemonPlatnum]

Very good SL
1.Can I have your grass tile and your battle grass tile please?
:bandit:

[ryushin5]

i liked the video shinylugia looks like the seel is going to be helping u cross oceans to get to islands and stuff

[shinylugia249]

you won't see seel for a while though. You'll meet him again later in the game during another atemp by team galactic. Anyway i will post more screens in a few days on the sidequest when you reach snowell city (the city after this event).

[ryushin5]

great can't wait to see it

[shinylugia249]

Contest Time!(wow our very first contest)

I need ideas for the layout of the second gym so I am holding a contest to look for the best idea. I am open to many ideas that many of you will come up with but just make sure it's possible to make with the limitations of Rpg maker XP. One more thing, the gym leader will be using psychic Pokemon!

Awards: 1st prize - be the 3rd gym leader + Will receive demo earlier than other members
Runner-up - Will receive demo earlier then other members

Contest ends this Saturday, so post away!

[ryushin5]

hey man whatsup i'm entering the contest i pmed u my idea ok

[shinylugia249]

Just saw it and so far it really fits the plan i originally had for the gym but with a few twists.
Any more ideas will be shared through a PM or post.

[sonic smash down]

well i might as well enter wit one to sl. and looked at the vid, nice job comment posted on it.

anyways: its the second gym and its a phykick type huy. hmm... i actually have two ideas. one is more interaction then the other.

1. the player is forced to move around and cannot stop in the gym. kinda like a floating animation. there is portals in the gym that if you touch you go to the next room. (multiple portals). since you're forced to continueously float around, you'll need to get good at it otherwise you will be facing alot of trainers. there are several rooms you are forced to do this. once you get to the gym leader's room, you can move around freely and there is a portal he sends that allows you to go strait to the entrance after you beat him.

2. there are mirrors everywhere reflecting trainers that almost look real. you have to be able to tell exactly which trainer is real. then once you reach the gym leader. the mirror is a portal to his room. beat him and you can go strait back from when you came

how about those, and of course i would be happy to map it out for ya sl.

[shinylugia249]

I like the first idea but ryushin5 already game me mirrors idea. I'm going to keep a list of ideas that make it trough my approval and on Saturday i will post a poll. I don't want this to be chosen by me I want everyone's opinion.

[sonic smash down]

gotcha an i was just offering them man. cant wait to see the big update though. and i can see why you got so annoyed wit the map, it takes a heck of alot of time to do it. im still not done but i like wat im getting.

[shinylugia249]

Can't wait to see your map!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks to Pokemonplatinum we now have a banner to
advertise our game!

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh268/Linksbhoy/PEuserbar.png

Thanks Pokeplatinum, you're an awsome banner maker!

[PokemonPlatnum]

Ok,
1.How far are you in completing the beta?
2.How did you make the camera pan in the galactic event?

[Turwigfan12345]

Cool it seen fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PokemonPlatnum]

Cool it seen fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seen fun?
Anyway SL are you gonna reply?

[Zeta Dimentio]

I have an idea...

You have to find a key in the first room using hints that trainers give you if you beat them. The seond room has a room with seven doors. Only one leads to the third room while the rest lead to trainer battles. The third room has one trainer, but he makes five illusions and runs off. You have to beat the real one, but the illusions battle you as well. In the fourth room, would be the gym leaders room.

[shinylugia249]

There is an option that says scroll screen. Use that to move the screen but renember to make the option wait.. beacuse if you don't you'll be able to move while it scrolls. It takes time to figure out how many frames to wait but here's a start, scrolling 28 tiles in the speed, fast uses up about 140 frames. About the beta, the beta will have 4-5 gyms. I'm up to the second gym right now.

Rubii Naruto: I like your idea! Approved for final judgement.

[Hall Of Famer]

Hi there! This is Hall Of Famer and I did like your game very much, especially the visual effect. I don't know whether you have the D/P battle scene for cave/searoute battle. I'd like to have D/P graphics in my game so please do me a favor. I will be a supporter of your fan game and I'll sure give you credit on that. Now that you have a banner already I'll include it in my signature to show that I'm a supporter of your fan game, I mean, if you can provide more D/P graphics to me.

Btw, you do need to move this thread to Game Showcase forum. Just PM Avatar and I'm sure he'll help you with this. Have a good day!

[shinylugia249]

Yeah i'll Pm him and you can have my Dp graphics. i'll Pm you some now if you want.

[Hall Of Famer]

Yeah i'll Pm him and you can have my Dp graphics. i'll Pm you some now if you want.

Thank you very much for this. Please PM me for those D/P graphics and I'll sure have your game banner in my signature. Btw, when will the demo be out for your game?

[shinylugia249]

Ok the contest is officially over!

Now who will you choose?
Here are the approved ideas.


Ryushin5: u have 2 rooms with puzzles in it like the first room could be like trick mirrors and you have to find and battle the 3 trainers that are hidden in the mirrors and u only have five turns to do it and when you fond all 3 u get transported into the next room in this room it's like a maze and their switches hidden in it and you have to find the switches but beware because their are a lot of trainers hiding in the maze like there in false walls and stuff when you find and press all the switches there is a door that leads into the gym leaders room

TeddiursaFan: there are a couple rooms in front of each other like this:
___________
I I
I I
I I
I__________I
(would be bigger and wider)
(this is just one room)
Each room would have 3 cups in the middle (big enough to carry people in each one). Two cups can people under them and the other has a button. When you enter the room, they begin to shuffle randomly (you can make it reveal the lever in the beginning before they shuffle or not). You can walk up to a cup and click on it revealing the item inside. If it has a trainer, you battle them. If it has a button, you can activate it to open the door to the next room (the door should be close in the beginning).



Rubii Naruto:
You have to find a key in the first room using hints that trainers give you if you beat them. The seond room has a room with seven doors. Only one leads to the third room while the rest lead to trainer battles. The third room has one trainer, but he makes five illusions and runs off. You have to beat the real one, but the illusions battle you as well. In the fourth room, would be the gym leaders room.

Sorry if i forgot anyone! Pm if i approved your idea and forgot to post it. I will put the poll up as soon as possible. Please don't Pm me or post your thoughts on your ideas in the thread. If you do then it'll be hard to keep up with the votes.

[Hall Of Famer]

Hall Of Famer here. I must say this game is better than most of those fan games I've ever seen on this forum and hopefully you'll release a demo soon so more people will see the potential this game has and therefore become a supporter. Btw, do you have any other Battle graphics? How about the battle scene on the searoute? Please PM me if you have them and I'll sure give your more credit in my game thread and signature. Have a good day, dude, hope you continue on this project and get it moved to Game Showcase Section soon.

[Zeta Dimentio]

How long will this poll last anyway? You never said anything about that.

[ryushin5]

awesome man u finally got it moved to gameshowcase

[shinylugia249]

Finally moved into the Games Showcase!

I'm to get the final results by tommorow. Seing that not many people are voting I might extend it if it doesn't change by tommorow.

You did it, it's so good to see your game thread in Game Showcase and hopefully there'll be more people seeing the potential of this project and support your game! Btw, how're the D/P graphics going? Do you have the searoute and cave battle scene already?

[shinylugia249]

Almost! I might have them by the end of today. I'll pm you when i finish them.

"Pretty cool looking game man. Good luck with it."

I know that is like a spam message, but like yeah, this is cool looking.
Just had a quick read over the topic and liked what I saw.

[shinylugia249]

Thanks Neo-Dragon! I really like Pokemon protectors too! It's one of the best games around here.

[Starry Night]

Great game! I really like those tiles of yours and that Lapras Surfing Sprite! Lapras rulez! XD

Yeah, I want to be a mapper, already PM'd you... 1 hour ago, and you've got it... I just don't really know what to say here...

BUT did you steal the box of Vampire://Krimm? (if it was from another place they took it off him too)

[shinylugia249]

What do you mean? I've been meaning to implement this for a long time now. It actually originated from mega man battle network. If you meant the actual sprite, it's included in the inside tileset in pokemon essentials.

Hi, ShinyLugia! I'm here to support your game again! I know this game is going well and all you need to do next is to release a playable demo so that people will see how awesome it is. Btw, did you get those D/P battle scene already? Are there any other battle scene besides the searoute/Cave battle(for instance, the battle on the beach, under the sea)? Have a good day and I'll be here to post every now and then!

[BillNye]

Aloe!
Soooooooooooooooooooo, i see ur lookin for a mapper...i think i can fill in.
But ima drifter, ya see. I'm workin on 2 other projects, but i think i can squeeze urs in. :D
JK, im completely faithful to anything i put my mind to and i'd like ta map 4 ya. I'll pm ya my application cuz i donno if you still need a mapper.
If ya don't, can u pm me the open positions and i'll try and see if im good at any of em ^^

[shinylugia249]

There is alist of open positions in the first post, just take a look at it.

[riceeman]

I'm a spriter, but I haven't been given any jobs :( What can I do Lugia!!!!

[shinylugia249]

Sorry about that but i'll send you something now if you want.
I'll pm you.

[Starry Night]

Yeah already got the pm and you're one of my mappers now. About the surf sprite, it's not Lapras it's a dewgong.

(Sorry about the doublepost, but it's an update!)

Introducing a little minigame located throughout Ryen.
It's the Pokemon Quiz Machine!

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGEdotCUBsc

Tell me what you think!

Wow, wow, and wow. Awesome Quiz machine minigame!

Now I know two awnsers! *snickers to self*

I can't wait until the demo or real game comes out! ^_^

[shinylugia249]

That was just a test. There will be more versions of the machine in other places in ryen with more questions.

[Starry Night]

That was just a test. There will be more versions of the machine in other places in ryen with more questions.

Oh. *stops snickering*

I think this quiz idea is really nice! I would love them!

PS: Would you get a prize if you got all the questions right? I don't like wasting my money... Maybe I'm just stingy in Pokemon Games. XD

[shinylugia249]

Yeah, there will be a prize but i'll reveal that later.
Don't worry it'll be worth answering 20 cosecutive questions!

[shinylugia249]

Okay after looking at the results from the poll, here are the winners:

Winner: Ryushin5!

Runner-up: TeddiursaFan!

Gongragulations Ryushin5 and TeddiursaFan!
For the winner you will be sent a pm for the description/team/gender of the 3rd gym leader. The runner-up will receive the demo 1 week before everyone else does.
Thanks again to everyone who entered!

Here's a sneak peak of the gym:

Nice job, if I have to say so myself. =)

[shinylugia249]

Thanks! All i did was work off fr/lg graphics and adapted it into the r/s/e
graphics.

[Manio]

Hmmm,good job! I might keep my eye on this beauty.

[Starry Night]

Thanks! All i did was work off fr/lg graphics and adapted it into the r/s/e

It sounds easy!

1 hour later...

But it's hard. *cries*That last part was a joke, before anybody takes this seriously at all...

[shinylugia249]

It took me about an hour to do.

I just wanted to show off my shaymin sprite:

Please don't steal any of this, it's my first pokemon sprite.

[sonic smash down]

and yet again. nice job they really do look asome. *i really got to figure out how to change those graphics, cause i was at the wrong spot last time*

[st.jimmy]

sorry i havent posted in th thread yet even though im on the team.

its cuming along great so far the quiz machine reminds me of that guy who dun loads of obstacles in his house on sapphire/ruby.....in his last task he asked a load of questions...boring ones -_-

hope we pull it off
btw i sent u a pm.

[Hall Of Famer]

Hi, Hall Of Famer here! I'm here to support this game project again and I've seen a lot of progresses recently. Btw, do you have any other D/P battle scenes other than the Grass and searoute battle scenes? I think there should be at least 10 types of landscapes so please send the pics to me when you have them. I appreciate your help very much and hopefully both our games will gain its popularity soon. :D

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

haha hey shinylugia shaymins sky form has the ability called "Serene Grace" - Boosts the likelihood of added effects appearing
the shaymin sprite doesnt look right

[Starry Night]

It took me about an hour to do.

Well, nice sprite! Good Job!!!!!!

[shinylugia249]

Red Gyrados: Yeah i know about the ability. The shaymin sprite is my first pokemon sprite so i might replace it.

cjerian: Thanks.

Now time for more screens!
http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2266/sumai1.png

Please tell me if you see anything wrong because this was rushed. Thanks goes to sonicsmashdown for helping choose between colors!

[sonic smash down]

ur welcome man, although im startin to think that light green would have worked out better but its still really good for now. im done wit my brawl, (twas fun). well anyways nice new screenies dud.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah. The light blue seems weird, but i can easily recolor it later.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

haha good stuff (it seems this is the only thing i say -.-)

[Hall Of Famer]

Hi, ShinyLugia. Thanks for those D/P battle scenes, they're really the upgrades of those graphics from Pokemon Essentials. Btw, do you have some other D/P graphics such as the frames, bagscreens and pokemon summary screens?

[PokemonPlatnum]

omg you got so many comments....

[shinylugia249]

I see you're back from your boat trip. Did you see the answer to your question about moving the screen?

[Wichu]

I love your summary screen! The colours remind me of my own!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks wichu. It took me awhile to find fr/lg rips to get the actual fr/lg colors.

[sonic smash down]

so im guessin the colors worked out anyways cool

[Mar876]

The battle graphics are really good. I also love the title screen!

haha the male protoganist looks like Elvis as a kid! (Kinda.)

Why is everyone showing their PC Family? I dont get it.

[shinylugia249]

If anyone wanted to know, the tittle screen will be playing the
arceus battle music!

[InMooseWeTrust]

It's nice to know that I'm part of the team.

[Hall Of Famer]

Well, Shinylugia. I don't know whether you've made all those D/P character/trainer sprites and item icons. If you haven't made them, then I can provide the D/P style char-set and trainer sprites I obtained and some item icons for Pokemon D/P to you. In return, you send all the D/P skins, bag screens, battle backgrounds and enemy/player bases you currently have to me. I know you're the one who likes to trade with others so how about this deal?

Here're some previews of the graphics I own:

[shinylugia249]

I only have one i haven't given to you. You can have it but i don't need anthing. You already gave all your maps so i'll pm you the only dp graphics i have left to give you.

[Hall Of Famer]

I only have one i haven't given to you. You can have it but i don't need anthing. You already gave all your maps so i'll pm you the only dp graphics i have left to give you.

Well, I'm sorry I may get you confused by that. What I'm requesting is not just about the battle scenes. I need some D/P style text boxes and bag screens like the two pics below so
that's the reason why I claimed this deal...

http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/pkmndp/dp_textboxes.png

http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/pkmndp/dp_hub.png

[PokemonPlatnum]

I see you're back from your boat trip. Did you see the answer to your question about moving the screen?
Yeah Thanks very much!
Your game is doing really well!

[ryushin5]

hey sl nice shaymin sky form and the game just keep getting better and better can't wait to see myself as a gym leader in this game and also can't wait to play this it's so awesome and it has true potential to be a great game

[shinylugia249]

Update.
I took some screenshots of the running and bike sprites. I also included some screenshots of the 1st gym:
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/9195/scgymkr7.png

[ryushin5]

i like the screenshots man nice by the looks of the gym and the gym leader it looks lik an ice pokemon gym now i see the reason why u said the first gym is going to be tough

[sonic smash down]

heh my first gym is something like that. you'll see when i update the thread. but the screenies look great dud. but wats up i guess wit the ice tile, there is only one? (well guess ill figure it out when the time comes)

[PokemonOI]

the screens look great I could learn a thing or two from you.

[ryushin5]

heh my first gym is something like that. you'll see when i update the thread. but the screenies look great dud. but wats up i guess wit the ice tile, there is only one? (well guess ill figure it out when the time comes)

i think it's some kind of teleporter

[shinylugia249]

There are 3 panels you have to step on to activate the stairs that will lead you to the gym leader. The screenshot is just one part of the gym.

* If can anyone can help me close the poll, pm me.

[sonic smash down]

o i see man that explains it and the caves lead indirectly to each other. smart dud.

[Pokehero22]

This game looks great!

Nice job.

Keep it up!

[Hall Of Famer]

This game is looking better and better for sure. You simply need to keep it up and you'll find more supporters when you release the first demo.

[shinylugia249]

Thanks HOF!
I'm currently having my beta-testers look through the game. I'm fixing bugs for the release of a pre-beta!

[Shikamaru88]

[shinylugia249]

Thanks Shadow_Dark_Chaos! I'll make sure to credit you!

[ShadowPand3monium]

Don't mention it! That's 4 u and u only. so hav fun with it............................ i guess

[sonic smash down]

okay so you told everyone about the pre release. cool man. well im back online so ill be able to help ya again.

[Pokepal2007]

Hey where did you get the tile sets, please could you attach it to a post

also good game

[sonic smash down]

i can answer that myself. he made most of his own but also from kyledove's tilesets. and you should be able to find kyledove's around here and his is his own. they're not to be taken unless he gives permission to use them

[shinylugia249]

Yeah some of them are from kyledove/Alistair and some from wah, But a majority of them were made by me.

[Yuoaman]

To get rid of that poll, just contact the site staff and ask them to remove it.

Game's looking good SL!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks, i'll pm a mod to take it down.

Here's a screenshot of a foggy area:

http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/5566/capture247tx9.png

Does it look familiar?

[Starry Night]

Looks a bit like Mt. Pyre if I have to say so myself!

[shinylugia249]

Yeah, it's mt.pyre. That's just a preview of one of the hoenn areas.

[Hall Of Famer]

So you're going to implement the weather system? Well, I'm sure it will make your game better and more addictive to play. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing the release of that pre-beta. Just curious how good this game is already... Have a good day!

[Pokepal2007]

nice mt pyre screen :) :) :)

[Starry Night]

Awesome! I haven't posted in a while, have I? xD

Great Weather Station Script! I can't wait to see who that extra part belongs too! xD

[shinylugia249]

Thanks. The beta-release is coming soon. At this moment I am fixing up bugs, sprites, and music.
Here are the contents of the beta:
Arrival at citric beach
meeting with oak
rival battle
1st gym
galactic event
weather machine event.
I might have missed out a couple of things but you'll see when you get to play it.

[Yuoaman]

Cool SL, can't wait to try it! : )

And I didn't know we could go to Hoenn O_o, Awesome to learn though.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah it's possible to go to hoenn after you beat the ryen pokemon league.
I've already included a hoenn and kanto map.
Here they are:
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/1460/capture248tp7.png

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/9467/capture249yh9.png

If anyone wanted to know i'm going to be using the g/s/c maps for kanto.
Thanks to HOF for providing the kanto maps, I'm almost finished mapping kanto!

[Pokepal2007]

wow nice maps is there going to be one of johto?

[shinylugia249]

No, no johto. Adding in to many regions would mean having to change the levels of the pokemon and trainers. The 2 main regions will be ryen and hoenn. kanto will be more of a battle fronteir.

Update!
I just finished making the subway.
It's based off the train in g/s/c.
Here's the vid:

Excellent video and screenshots! It's great that you manage to make the animation for the train event so please keep this up. I already saw someone voting for your game to be the best fan game in Game Development Forum so I can see the potential of this project indeed. Have a good day and I'm looking forward to seeing the demo.

[Fiery Dash]

One hundred percent deserve my support!!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks for all the support.
The beta will be released by the end of this week!

[Mitchman]

Haha nice! Well if kanto would be a battle frontier sort of thing that would mean 3 regions. You can replace the gyms with them and instead of calling it kanto um it could be the frontier of battaling. A large land for master trainers with 16 badges to take place in battles in all types of lands. Cities islands forests mountains ports etc. Get me?

[Pokepal2007]

okay what you just saind sort ofconfused me lol

why dont he make it so you get gym badges and battle frontier.

[shinylugia249]

Haha nice! Well if kanto would be a battle frontier sort of thing that would mean 3 regions. You can replace the gyms with them and instead of calling it kanto um it could be the frontier of battaling. A large land for master trainers with 16 badges to take place in battles in all types of lands. Cities islands forests mountains ports etc. Get me?
Yeah i get it but i'm going to make the battle fronteir in kanto like they did in the anime.
The many battle facilities will be scattered throughought kanto.

[Mitchman]

Oh so they will be gyms and frontiers. That means 24 badghes and 7 symbols. YES!

[shinylugia249]

Sorry, it's going to be 16 badges and all symbols of the Battle fronteir.
The story actually takes place after you become champion of the kanto league so what would be the point of battling the kanto gyms again.

[Fiery Dash]

Thanks for all the support.
The beta will be released by the end of this week!
Thanks for telling us, I'm gonna check it when I have time...

[Mitchman]

Well you could do this to add kanto gyms.Afte retruning to kanto after many years you decide to see your old friends Surge and blaine. But to your suprise there gyms have undergone vast changes mostly types. Seeing this you get excited and decide to take both the frontier and gyms. Sorry if im seeming pushy. I just want to help make this great game even better.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah i wish i could add more gyms but as i said before that would mess up the levels. Kanto is better off as a battle frontier because the levels can vary (50 and up).

Mini Update!

Here are some screenshots of revamped g/s/c sprtes that
I made out of boredom:

[sonic smash down]

well it looks pretty good out of boredom dud. and since im on my game working computer i cant really watch utube vids on this one but it looks really good so yea nice job so far man.

[PokemonOI]

Those Pokemon Sprites look awesome great job!

[shinylugia249]

Thanks. I'm revamping a bunch of other sprites right now.
It's not really that hard. Just recolor, add shading and fix the outline.

[Hall Of Famer]

So you're gonna release the demo within this week? Well, I think I did a nice job releasing Pokemon HOF V1.2 earlier to avoid competition.;) I'll see how good your game by then and have a good time!

[shinylugia249]

Yeah the demo release will be this week.
Everything's ready right now it's just that i have to fix some bugs for the release.

Here's another mini-update!

[ryushin5]

nice sl so will we see an old celebi sprite revamped

[shinylugia249]

I'll try to revamp it. It'll take about 10-20 minutes (also have to make shiny sprite, but that's easy).

Ok here it is:

http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/6118/capture271ny4.png

Please comment!

[ryushin5]

pretty good sl but it looks like it needs more shading

[shinylugia249]

yeah, i'll edit later because celebi won't be in the demo.

[sonic smash down]

yea unless you hack it or debug it in your case lolz. a celbi at lv. 50. yea definitly a debug. anyways nice job on the few sprites and i hope ya took my comment into consideration.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah i used the debug feature to obtain the pokemon, but that's just to take the screenshots.

[Hall Of Famer]

Time to release the demo, dude!

[shinylugia249]

Almost done just have to fix up some maps and finish up the intro. I might release it late today or early tommorow.

yall are goin to seriously love it when he's finished with teh bugs.

[shinylugia249]

It's going to be much better than what the beta testers saw! I've been trying to fix up some things with all of their suggestions.

[BaconBoy914]

I'll try to revamp it. It'll take about 10-20 minutes (also have to make shiny sprite, but that's easy).

Ok here it is:

It's to sharp and it's left arm, our right seems a little out of proportion, as does its leg length

[shinylugia249]

Yeah i'll fix that up later.

[venom12]

shinylugia249 what with demo?? When you relase?? Im waiting.

[shinylugia249]

Sorry for the wait but here is the demo!

Before playing!
After opening up the game:
Press F1 and make sure you have checked smooth mode.
The result will be faster and smoother gameplay!

[sonic smash down]

asome the pre-beta is here. yall are goin to enjoy yallselves with this one especially if he fixed all the little mistakes.
me and ryushin got to play it to help him point all the mistakes out, although i got it at the wrong time DX (band camp) so i couldnt play it all day. but it was great especially the graphics. and that was with all the mistakes in it.

[Mitchman]

YAY! Its here. How long is it?
Edit:Would you mind telling me how to edit the buttons to move with w,a,s,d cause right arrow broke and screen size bigger?

[shinylugia249]

The game goes up to the weather machine event. So that's one badge, a battle with your rival, and other events.
press F1 and go into the keyboard tab to edit the controls.

[Hall Of Famer]

Excellent work, dude! I'm downloading the game now and curious to see how good this demo is. Btw, how come your file size is nearly as much as my Pokemon HOF's(I used a lot of WMA audio files so my game size is huge)? It will take a long time to download though. Anyway, good luck with you and your game project. Have a good time!

[shinylugia249]

yeah i'm using a lot of music too and i've already mapped out some kanto and hoenn areas. So that's why the file size is really big.

[Mitchman]

ΚΚ but in their what are the arrows?

[shinylugia249]

i think you can only change the action button and other keys, I don't think it's pissible to change the movement keys.

[Hall Of Famer]

Hi ShinyLugia:

This is Hall Of Famer. I played your game already and it looks great. I'm a little bit uncomfortable with the size of the screen since it seems to be a little bit small though. Another thing I've noticed is that you're using a merged tileset with both FR/LG style and D/P style and I personally think it would be better if you attempt to make it all in D/P style except for those houses(which are unable to be edited into D/P format). This will probably make your game more balanced. Anyway, it's a fairly nice demo indeed so please keep this up! Have a good time!

[shinylugia249]

yeah i'm using some dp tyles, but i don't think using all those dp tyles is a problem. I know i forgot to replace some tiles in some tilesets but that will be fixed in the next release.
To change the screen size go into the options in the start menu.

[PokemonOI]

Yeah it's possible to go to hoenn after you beat the ryen pokemon league.
I've already included a hoenn and kanto map.
Here they are:
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/1460/capture248tp7.png

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/9467/capture249yh9.png

If anyone wanted to know i'm going to be using the g/s/c maps for kanto.
Thanks to HOF for providing the kanto maps, I'm almost finished mapping kanto!
Those maps look great I was thinking of doing my maps for Infinite Rainbow that way but now I think I'll leave them the way they are.

[megiddo]

I get an extract error. :/

[shinylugia249]

Thanks but you don't have to give up the idea of using dp style because of this.
In my opinion, Using the dp style is the best style to use for a region map.

megiddo: What do you mean by extract error?
Did you succesfully extract the files?

[sonic smash down]

ok you know there are two sites to try dude. one of them didnt work for me either when i was testing out the demo. try them both if not you may not have enough memory for the game. and yes i say first hand he remade some of the kanto and hooen maps. (you'll love them) although when i debugged to get there. there were no events set up yet.

[megiddo]

K, I'll try the other. Hope it works.

[shinylugia249]

yeah, I don't want any events set up yet because it would be a pain to edit the all the maps' encounters later on after finishing up the Ryen region.


Mini-update!
Here are a few screenshots:

I'll reveal a small secret!
This is the base of defeated team but now the home to groudon. So you'll visit broken down team bases containing legendaries.

[sonic smash down]

and let me guess its in team magma's base, while kyogre is in aqua's

[shinylugia249]

yeah hoenn will be a lot more interesting including some places like mirage Island.

Nice screenshot, Shinylugia! I'm here to report a small glitch that appears in the beginning of the game. In Oak's garden, when you check an overworld Fearow, it gives out a Spearow's cry, not Fearow's. I don't know whether you've noticed this but it's really funny when playing this game. Btw, I saw you haven't implement the ice sliding effect in Rising city and it could be done easily by setting the terrain tag as "12". Hope my feedback helps, have a good time!

[shinylugia249]

Do you man the text box:
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/6868/capture237pk6.png

I just recolored the one included in the starter kit.
Look in the materialbase. It's frlgtextskin under windowskins.

HOF: Thanks for pointing out the bugs. I already now about the ice sliding. I keep making the terrain tag 12 but it works only for a limited time.

[Xin13]

Im new but im having a problem with the game....
im missing RGSS102E.dll and i dnt know how to find it. help

[shinylugia249]

here's a link:
http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/rtp_download.html

[Xin13]

okay i downloaded the file and the game works. thank for the help i look forward to playing this and the finished version when ever it comes out

[blueguy]

I played your demo. First off, I would recommend you keep all of the music files that won't be used in the game in a separate folder, as it was hell to download. As for the game itself...

I thought it was really enjoyable. The music choices were very good. Most of the mapping was very well done. I did, however, feel that your word choice and grammar needed a lot of work. Some of the aspects of the game were lost in translation for me. I didn't understand how the elevator worked, although it was kinda cool, or anything about the tunnel. There are just little things here and there that bog it down. Otherwise, it was nice. I can see that you've done a lot of work.

[shinylugia249]

Thanks. I now i need to improve on my grammar (english wasn't my first language).
And i'll keep all the unused music in a seperate folder, but that'll still be a lot of music because of some outer regions already mapped.

[sonic smash down]

yea cause some of the maps arent connected to the game. such as cerulean. its a map in the game with its music connectd to it but yall wont be able to see it for a while.

[shinylugia249]

*Urgently looking for a scripter. Pm me if you can help!

[Pokehero22]

Reminds me of Fallorbor town, or that town in Hoenn... idk,

Anyways, keep it up

It's nice X3

[sonic smash down]

great update sl, it looks pretty old and really looks like it would be at the base of a valcano. (and your not the only one who needs a scripter lolz, i even placed it in my sig)anyways great update and graphics as always sl.

[shinylugia249]

Pokehero22: That might because i'm using the Fallorbor town tiles.

sonic smash down: Yeah i need a scripter so i can get the device in the game finished before the next release.

[PokemonOI]

the screens look really good!

[shinylugia249]

Update!

I've been working on some new layouts for the gym and
finally came up with a new layout!

Screens!

Old look:

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7111/capture199qd8.png

New Look!

http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/6714/capture296gb1.png

http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/3796/capture297iw2.png

http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/825/capture298hu3.png

Which style should I keep?

[O.G. Duke]

I think the old style look better.
Just my opinion^^

[Crosell]

I don't really know...
The old look is great really, the new one is also nice.
The old one's floor is way more better then the new one.
the new one's mirror's are better then the old ones.
So it's kinda hard to decide.
But I choose the old one. =P

[blueguy]

That's a nice use of Fallorbor's tiles. I feel that the color of the PokéMart is rather bright, however.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah i'm going to change the mart colors soon.

About the gym I just want to know which tiles look better. Th gym will have two sections, the mirrors and a maze.

[sonic smash down]

Add the trainers to the new style and I like it better. but either way works man, whichever everyone prefers i guess. thats just my oppinion

[shinylugia249]

The trainers will you show if you decide to look behind the mirror:

Looking behind the mirror:
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1676/capture299db5.png

The trainer comes out:
http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/7397/capture300yk0.png

Then you battle the trainer:
http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/2198/capture301xl8.png

After that the trainer hides behind the mirror and one of the gates that leads to the maze opens.
There will be 3 trainers and 3 pokemon hiding behind the mirrors.
If you find all 3 you'll move onto the maze.

[sonic smash down]

That sounds and looks really cool man, I get it now. and definitly stick with the new look. O and by the way arent u missing someone who is always at the entrance of the gym that give you advice :P
o wait now i see him

[shinylugia249]

He's right there in one of the screenshots. He'll give you the advice as soon as you enter the gym.

[Minorthreat0987]

I've been looking at this game for awhile. I must say, I really enjoy the use of a lot of your tiles. And your maps are very well done. I like just about everything about this game.

Good luck.

Sincerely,
Minorthreat

[shinylugia249]

Thanks, i've been fixing up a couple of tiles so some things might be different in the next release. It might be something minor such as the stairs switched from fr/lg switched to the dp ones so you won't see a variation of tiles.

[Minorthreat0987]

I've actually haven't got a chance to check out the demo, but I am sure it is very well put together, based on the screenshots I enjoy the game. I will eventually check out the demo. But reguardless the screens in the front post and through out the thread have very good tiles, I especially like the Shaymin path type tiles shown in the first post.

[shinylugia249]

I made those tiles a while ago when i first started the game (back in april/may).
The event won't be as simple as it was in dp. You'll have to go through an immense dungeon to reach shaymin.

[sonic smash down]

yea was that what that black dot was for on the map?

[shinylugia249]

It leads to an the undergound dungeon where you'll find Shaymin.
It still hasn't been mapped though.

Wow, you really did a good job editing that map! :p It's awesome, great job!

[shinylugia249]

Yeah thanks for mapping that!

[shinylugia249]

Update!

Introducing Pokemon Advanced Gyms!


Pokemon Advanced Gyms are much more challanging than usual gyms.
There several advanced gyms located around the Ryen region. Advanced gyms are also larger than gyms and contain 2 or more sections.

The first Advanced Gym, The Snowell Gym!

[PokemonOI]

looks good shinylugia are all the Ryen gyms gonna have that top floor? or will some have an underground?

[shinylugia249]

The top floor is just for the advanced gyms. But The ground gym might have an underground maze.

[ryushin5]

wait so are there going to be advance gyms and normal gyms

[shinylugia249]

Yeah both types of gyms will be avaible. Beat all the advanced gyms and you'll gain membership into a special group of people!

[ryushin5]

ok cool so wait will there be two gyms per town one advance one normal or will the advance gyms appear after you beat the elite 4 like some kind of battle frontier.

[shinylugia249]

No there will be 8 gyms and some of them will be advanced gyms. They're just to challenge the player.

[sonic smash down]

sounds really cool man, i was kinda planning to do something like this as well but either way works. i really like it though. and no i get what the snowell gym is supposed to be like.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah, now here's a suprise!

I'v been working on a dp tileset Using kyledove's tiles!
I won't be converting to dp for a while though (Maybe after the next release which won't be for a long time).
It's taking a while but the results look great, here are some screens:

OMG!! How did you even GET Kyledove's tiles? I'm so jealous...

But, this game is turning better than ever! :p

[shinylugia249]

Check the spriter's resource. They're not in the tileset format though so you'll have to convert them into the format.

[Starry Night]

OK!

-5 hours later after messing with photoshop, paint shop pro, and MS paint-

How do I do that? -_-;

[shinylugia249]

Just take a look at how the other tilesets are set up. I used Ms Paint to resize and place the tiles into the tileset.

[shinylugia249]

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

looking good shinylugia ^_^
the back sprite looks strange though

[InMooseWeTrust]

Giratina Origin is supposed to have Levitate instead of Pressure.
