====================
Background
====================

I have three words for background. IRIDIUM IS BACK!

====================
The Story
====================

The Iriho region is being ravaged by a plauge that is devistating the native POKéMON population. POKéMON are being born too weak to survive. The Iriho POKéMON Science Corp. have changed their direction from developing devices for POKéMON training and begun focusing on an effort to heal the crippling population of POKéMON in Iriho. POKéMON are being brought from other regions to repopulate the region. The IPSC is also working on a device to bring the weak POKéMON back into health so that the POKéMON species native to Iriho are not lost. They have also created a vaccine for the healthy POKéMON to keep the plauge from affecting them.
The plauge has not only effected the POKéMON but the people of the region are becoming despirt and more radical. One group has become the radical terrorist group TEAM CHAOS, hellbent on ridding the region of the polluted weak POKéMON and using the POKéMON of legend to restore "order" to the land.
Knowing that you are the son/daughter of the renowned project leader for the IPSC device, TEAM CHAOS decides to kidnap you while your father is away on IPSC buisness. You manage to escape with the help of a kind old man, who was also kidnapped by TEAM CHAOS. He lets you have one of his last three healthy POKéMON to aid you in your escape. After you escape you head to see Prof Aspen, a board member of the IPSC and your neighbor. She informs you that the IPSC devices isn't working as they thought it was and she warns you against raising your POKéMON because of the plauge, but you beg her and she provides you with a vaccine for your POKéMON. She informs you that as you speak there are IPSC employees setting out POKéMON food with the vaccine to vaccinate the healthy wild POKéMON of Iriho.
As you progress through out the story you begin to see the region fall apart. Corruption is high and spread through even the most seemingly uncorruptable places. There is no longer any thing "good" in the region except the IPSC, even the Iriho POKéMON League is corrupt. To how far this corruption goes and how it effects your quest...you will have to play to find out.

[ryushin5]

YES! i love this game i'm glad is back good luck on it. :D

[Wichu]

Yay Iridium is back! Remember to back it up regularly this time :O

Anyway, I love the new story. It's different from the usual storylines, in a good way. In fact, it's inspired me to improve my own ;)

You have a slight mapping error in this screenshot:
http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2820/capture002ox2.png
The room at the top should have walls on each side. Perhaps you could move the staircases outwards a bit, and add walls?

[Likewise]

wow this is looking great!
the overworld sprite bandana is good but looks a but too much like lucas, maybe change the colors.

The region map is great but the names of the maps need a lot of work, like Littlelodge sounds like litterroot mix it up a bit like....... i dont know MapleLodge town xD

[Captain Arcane]

I really like this story, and I will be keeping my eye on this project. I also love the name you have chosen for your region, and especially the layout. Tell me, is this region based of a real world location, or is it pure imagination? Either way, I have high hopes for this project and am eager to see new developement and updates.

I hope to see a lot of work on this, great job
Captain Arcane

[Vampire://Krimm]

It's good to see that Iridium is back :D Everything looks awesome, and as Wichu said, back it up frequently xD

I'm excited to see how this project will unfold ^^

[<~F.M.P~>]

Nice storyline I really like the twist, I can't wait to see how it fares out, good luck! ^^

[O.G. Duke]

Wow. Nice graphics. Is it in NDS size?
Looks different from Poccil's starter kit.^^
Keep it up!

[Xaviar]

I REALLY like your maps. You use kyledove's tiles very effectively. The storyline is detailed and original, and the region map is stylish too.

And you missed my name by a letter >.<

Good luck on finding some spriters, and on the project in general. I expect great things from you, Harry... :)

[megiddo]

Very nice. :) Also there's a small spelling error in that last screen.

[HeavyOctillery]

This game sounds considerably better than what I remembered of it before. The storyline has some interesting aspects to it; the corrupt PKMN League is reminiscent of the Pokemon Special manga's corrupt takes on the Kanto & Johto Leagues.

I might change the color I don't know, but I will consider your advice. As for the town names, yea I'm not so good at that. But I've decided to rename the towns after types of trees, hopefully they will be better.

Captain Arcane

The region is pure imagination, I know that Nintendo bases the regions off of Japan, but I like the freedom of makeing my own region so that I can get everything out of it I want(Like a region with a lot of water routes, beaches, but also mountains, stuff like that). I hope that doesn't effect anyones opinon of the game.

Wow. Nice graphics. Is it in NDS size?
Looks different from Poccil's starter kit.^^
Keep it up!

Yep! :D It is NDS size. I wanted the freedom of DP sprites and more space to work with in features and things like that.

Thank you all for your comments. I will keep this file backed up so it doesn't get lost. ;)

Keep those wonderful comments coming.

PS. Wichu, thanks for pointing out the mapping error, I knew something was wrong but I wasn't sure what. :)

Megiddo thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake. I didn't notice it. :laugh:

Sincerely
Minorthreat

.:EDIT:.
This game sounds considerably better than what I remembered of it before. The storyline has some interesting aspects to it; the corrupt PKMN League is reminiscent of the Pokemon Special manga's corrupt takes on the Kanto & Johto Leagues.

Thats because it is essentially a completely new game under the same title of the old Iridium because I loved the title so darn much! lol

[PoKéMaKeR]

This looks brilliant, I really like the tiles you used (also used them, sinnoh tiles rock:P)
And the custom player sprite.. :shocked:.. brilliant !
I really will be on the lookout for new updates and things !
I'm going to watch this thread from now on!
Good luck!

Minorthreat, your screenshots have become very strange and soem do not even show up at all :/

[Mitchman]

*runs in circles after seeing the marvel come back in a bang*
Man nice graphics nice story nice region nice everything. So question so i can understand its located where in the current pokemon world?

[Captain Arcane]

Don't worry Minorthreat, that doesn't change my opinion on your game. I was just wondering that because to me, it has a ver ygood layout, one of the best I've seen. And I'm particulary interested in that city which is so big it takes up 5 map tile spaces! Like I said, I really love how this looks. I also think that you region would be one of the best to feature fakemon; with all its areas, towns, and cities, it seems almost perfect.

Again, great work,
Captain Arcane

[Minorthreat0987]

Minorthreat, your screenshots have become very strange and soem do not even show up at all :/

Okay, thank you I am going to move the screenshots from Imageshack to my photobucket account, so please bear with me during this transition.

I haven't really thought much about that but I know the old Iriho is located Southwest of Kanto and South of Sinnoh so I am thinking I will put this one there aswell since you will be able to travel to Sinnoh in the game. ;)

Wow, thank you! I never thought I would get such a positive comment from the creator of Pokemon Lost World. Thank you :D

Well my friends!
I figured I would post a little update of sorts. Well this is actually a big update. :D

Thanks to my friend Riceeman, who has become a spriter for Iridium, we now have two new starters, and hopefully a third coming shortly.

I'd like to introduce PUTRISH, the water starter.
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/starterbattle.png

and INFOWL, the fire starter.
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/capture003.png

I hope you all enjoy!
Oh and please, don't steal these sprites. Riceeman worked hard on them!

Sincerely,
Minorthreat

[Mitchman]

Sweet. NIce sprites. But may i ask how it would fit southwest of kanto and south of sinnoh? I mean that would put it somewhere inbetween of jhot/kanto and not south of sinnoh. Or did you mean southeast? If s othen it would be an island right?

haha whoops I mean southeast of kanto and south of sinnoh, like its part of a new landmass in the ocean south of sinnoh and south east of kanto.

Thanks for the comment.

[Lady Berlitz]

Wow, this game is looking impressive! Compared to the old Iridium, this destroys it.
I'm really happy to see the change to D/P style, it looks much nicer.

[riceeman]

Awesome work Minorthreat. I only just noticed all the DP stuff that you've added, and that makes it just outstanding.

On the sprites, Infowl's backsprite is going to be enlarged. And the Grass Starter is coming very soon.

On a last note, how did this get bumped back to the second page? Anyways, it's now back where it belongs :D

Riceeman

[Minorthreat0987]

Nothing to big is going on right now guys. I'm busy adding the new pokemon Riceeman had made, and re coding the beginning part of the scirpt where TEAM CHAOS kidnaps you, but screens on that will be limited since its vital to the story. :D

Anyway, I figured I would show screens of the new grass starter.

Introducing FLOROTAN

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture004.png

This also shows new battle bars. Hopefully I will get something done this week that will get the game comments, and be worthy of updating.

PS. Please don't steal the sprites! I will find out!

I hope you all enjoy!

Sincerely,
Minor

[Team Magic Tyson]

Looks good, good luck with it.

[PokemonOI]

That looks awesome dude. your doing some great work. Keep it up cause those sprites look great.

[G-Trainer]

Looking very god, Minorthreat! Can't wait to play it :D

If you need any help with the storyline, NPC's, etc I'll be more than happy to help out.

Goodluck,
G-Trainer.

[Mitchman]

Nice work minorthreat. I hope to see more of your excellent hack.

[Griin.]

Nice work minorthreat. I hope to see more of your excellent hack.
This is not a hack -.-.
Minorthreat this is looking simply fantastic. I love the graphics and story its pretty interesting too. I'd love to see more of this amazing game.

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Um not much is happening in the world of Iridium right now, mostly still tweaking the Chanticleer events, editing sprites, stuff like that. Hopefully there will be an update this week.

But let me cut to the chase about my reasons for posting! Two reasons really.

I want to let it be know that despite Riceeman joining the team as a spriter, I am still looking for a fakemon designer and one more Pokemon Spriter.

I also want to ask if anyone would like to help out with editing DP trainer sprites for the various trainers in the game.(until someone fills this position or I can make a decent edit myself most trainer sprites for key characters will be place holders.

Thank you sincerely!
Keep the comments coming, you guys have no idea how motivational they are to ghe development!

Thank you,
Minorthreat

[Mitchman]

*facepalms at the epic fail of a post that i made*
Hehe sorry bout that i got a bit confused! Anyway yay for riceman being your spriter!

[Minorthreat0987]

Well guys, I have been working diligently coding the beginning events to work as perfectly and flowing as smoothly as they should. So there isn't too much to show but I wanted to show off a few screens of the first events in the game, your kidnapping.

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture000.png

As you can see in the screens there are two new characters introduced, Mr. Cedar(who will later be important on a quest that I have planned), and one of your Rivals(debating on whether you will get to name this rival or not). Both of these people have been kidnapped by Team Chaos aswell, what are their motives for kidnapping all three of you? You will have to wait for a demo to come out to really figure out why.
I'm currently working on the next events in the story and the introduction of one of the first "corrupt" charaters in the game. So expect screens of that eventing sometime in the near future.

I hope you enjoy the screens and be sure to leave a comment or two if you stop by and take the time to read the post.

Thanks a bunch!
Minor

[O.G. Duke]

Wow! Great update!
I love those screenshot so much! Good job!
Keep it up!

[Soul.//Silver]

I hope you enjoy the screens and be sure to leave a comment or two if you stop by and take the time to read the post.
I'm absolutely drooling over the screens xD. I can't wait for the demo. "Keeps staring at wonderful screens". Good luck with the rest of Iridium. (Can't stop staring xD)

[varial295]

when u gonna release this **** its good!

[Wichu]

Nice update. I spy two errors, though~
I think there should be an exclamation mark, or at least a comma, after "Hey boss". Or better still, change it to just "Boss!".
Also, there's a tile error with the spikes on the right side of the building.

Haha! The spike error has been fixed(stupid layerd trees forced me to use lots of priority settings in the tileset). And thanks for pointing out the boss error, I get bored playing the same event coding over and over again to make sure it works smoothly that I usual don't read the text.

I was working on planning out different events for the game and I think I came up with a lot of awesome stuff. Lots of little events to demonstrate how the region of Iriho has become so corrupt with this plauge. Be warned there will be a lot of people who you would never think are corrupt, that actually are.

I also have finished planning the backbone of the story, and let me tell you, I have decided that Iridium will be very action packed and long. I'll say only this: You may think that its like all other Pokemon games, fight the evil team to end a their plan. While this is true, there's a whole new twist to the game that will change the story, the plauge gets worse, and there is a "legend" that can save all of Iriho...

Anyway,
Thanks for the comments. I love positive comments! :D

Minor

[Yuoaman]

Wow Minorthreat... this is looking much better than it did, I am impressed, I really can't wait to see more, good luck!

[Exiled~Shadow]

It all looks very good Monorthreat0987 but i am very disapointed to see that you have used the name of my pokemon professor... you dont have to change it but please ask before doing somthing like that again.....

[Blazers]

Hasn't Pokemon Iridium been around longer then your game JJ....
(Plot and story idea)

Did you ever think that you used his professors name?

[Minorthreat0987]

Okay for one thing, your professor's name is AspRen, and mine is Aspen(without an R), so I have not stolen your Professors name anyway.

Did you ever think that you used his professors name?

Yes you are correct Blazer, the first Iridium thread was started in February of 2008 and had been in development since February of 2007, so technically JJ stole my professors name, but its a name, I have no rights over whether he calls is professor Aspren or not, nor do I really care much.

Anyway, I have some new scripts set up, and new interface graphics for the the Pokemon Summary Screen, I'll hopefully show pictures of them soon.

[Lady Berlitz]

Excellent new screenshots, Minorthreat! This is looking more and more amazing every time I visit this thread. I especially like the sprites used in the game. The 'Team Chaos' people look wonderful, and the hero is alright.

Good luck with Iridium, Minorthreat! =)

[thedudemister]

It looks great. I love the new overworlds.

[Atomic Reactor]

OMG! Wow.... I'm so glad the game is back!
It's looking better than ever!
Keep up the amazing work, it's so beautiful :,D

[riceeman]

Come on guys, we need comments! Minorthreat, maybe a little update to keep the masses happy might be in order...

[Minorthreat0987]

Well there isn't much to show off. I have just overcome a road block that prevented any coding to progress so I have been mapping.

Here is a screen from Route 298
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture001.png

And Here is a screen from the Pokemon Summary screen
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture002.png

Thats really all I have got done lately, besides the female trainer's overworld, but I don't want to show that quite yet. I also have been working with Riceeman getting a few new pokemon for the game, including a new grass starter to replace Florotan, which I will show off shortly.

I am currently looking for someone who can come up with Movesets, base stats, and Pokedex entrys for the new pokemon of Iriho, please pm me and we will talk. Also if anyone knows away to make new crys for the pokemon please pm me.

Sorry there isn't much. Since I have everything writen out storywise up to Arborvitae City, I will hopefully be able to code some of it in soon and have something worth while to show screens of.

I hope this holds people over!
Sincerely,
Minorthreat

[Mitchman]

Aha that pokemon screen looks nice and custom. The hero sprite looks familiar somehow but anyway i wish you luck like always!

[Lady Berlitz]

Excellent updates, Minorthreat! I'm definitely glad this is making progress, and it is very appealing to the eye! The only thing I find a little bit out of place or needs a bit of tweaking is the wild Pokémon grass.

Good luck with Iridium. :D

[Minorthreat0987]

Yeah, I gave up on custom grass for a little while and just switched back to Kyle's grass tile.

Now, this was the update I had origially wanted to post!

Please don't steal



I hope you enjoy the screens! And post comments if you stop by, I'm still coding events, and working with Riceeman on new pokemon! So watch the thread, you never know when there will be an update!

Sincerely,

[Lady Berlitz]

Wow! Very nice new screenshots and updates, Minorthreat! I really like how you show just small progress of each small event in the towns and cities of the game. This game is looking a lot better. Good luck.

[Blazers]

This looks real cool man.
Can't wait to see some more!

(It looks a lot better then your original Iridium) =)

[Wichu]

I like Igwono's front sprite. However, its back sprite looks weird... The head is a different shape (the rounded bit near the back is a lot further back here), and way too big. Try including its upper body on the back sprite, too.

[Levity-Adam]

Wow! It looks fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[Anuhrima]

try smalling the size of the back sprites okay they look to big

Yes, I agree that it is too big, and I think I see what you mean about the crest on its head being slightly different, I'll see what I can do.

try smalling the size of the back sprites okay they look to big

As of right now I think the only one that need to be smaller is IGWONO, which I have made smaller.

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture000-1.png

Is this any better size-wise I know it still has the crest problem, but thats a little harder to take care of.

[Lady Berlitz]

It looks a lot better now, although it still does need a bit of work. Maybe make the body (or the "neck") of Igwono's backsprite a little thinner, and his face (from our small perspective) needs a little bit of touching up.

[Minorthreat0987]

and his face (from our small perspective) needs a little bit of touching up.

Do you mean his front or his back sprite?

[Anuhrima]

it look like it 3rd stage still need to smaller down the size

[Lady Berlitz]

Do you mean his front or his back sprite?I mean his backsprite. His face doesn't look so similar to the front sprite (it looks a lot fatter).

[riceeman]

I agree with all critiscm on my sprite, the Igwono backsprite needs to be redone. I will get on it soon.

[Minorthreat0987]

I agree with all critiscm on my sprite, the Igwono backsprite needs to be redone. I will get on it soon.

Okay. Thank you riceeman.

In the mean time I want to post a few userbars to suppor the game!

They look pretty nice, Minorthreat. The second support banner is missing a line of pixels on the left, though. :P

Haha whoops! I will fix it eventually!

Well, I haven't had much time to work on Iridium lately due to the holiday season! But I decided that I should probably give a small update to the thread! So I have decided to show off a new Pokemon!
Without further ado, I present Gerbop!
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture000-2.png
Gerbop is the Rattata of the Iriho region, the annoying rodent, except I really think that Gerbop is quite cute and adorable!

*Gerbop was designed and sprited by Riceeman*
*Please do not use the Sprite*

I also have a few announcments to make.

1. I would like to take suggestions for simple new moves to add to Iridium. I say simple because I want to start off small with the scripting before I move into more complex details. So I would be more than happy to consider new move ideas that anyone would like to donate to the project(Credit will be given if the move is used)

2. I'm sort of at wits end on coming up with a way to properly demonstrate how the plauge effects the Pokemon population, because I'm sure a reference to it isn't enough. So it would be a great help to have suggestions on how to demonstrate the effect of the plauge. I cannot promise that I will be able to implement any thing too complex but I would like suggestions!

3. I am still looking for another Pokemon Spriter! I'm sure riceeman would like help spriting Pokemon for Iridium!

Sincerely
Minorthreat

wow very nice minor:P
cant wait for more :P

[O.G. Duke]

Wow! It's cute!
Better than those annoying Rattata or Bidoof~
I will catch it for sure!

[Blazers]

Will you be posting a pokedex?

[Minorthreat0987]

Will you be posting a pokedex?

Eventually, but as of right now the Pokedex is in very very baby stages, only from 800-823 have simple concepts and about 10 of those 23 have definitive concepts, so I don't want to post something so incomplete yet, but as a more complete pokedex begins to work up I will consider posting it. But I don't want to spoil everything about the game before its release, so we will see.

I wish I had something new to show but time has been tight lately due to family matters, so I apologize!

Thank you all for your comments

sincerely
Minorthreat

*suggestion* you should give all the pokemon new cries instead of using cries from old ones.
dude this hack looks good tho. cant wait til the first beta is out!!!

[riceeman]

IT'S NOT A HACK! It's a game, made in RMXP. Anyways, good updates MT :D

[Lady Berlitz]

Without further ado, I present Gerbop!
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii291/Minorthreat0987/Pokemon%20Iridium/capture000-2.pngThe sprite looks wonderful, Minorthreat! Riceeman is a great spriter. :D
I like how it looks like it can come straight out of a D/P/P game. Good luck!

[Master123]

How is it not a hack?
it has a rom base. Ruby
it is being made into a new game.
therefore....

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

you are bad at reading ^^
and you do not have prooof even though you say so...
it doesnt say it is a rom base minor is a smart person and if it were a rom base it would be in the rom hacking section.

honestly some people......



Anyway, the project is going great!
The fakemon have improved too :)

[Nytkoi]

I <3 Gerbop! He must take over the world 8D Anyways, love the projects, and your events seem very proffesional. Good luck!

[Master123]

still i think you should make new cries for the fakemon. add a little extra creativity

[Blazers]

Well I'm almost certain that's the last of Minor's problems as of right now.
And yes it would be nice but Isn't to important right now.

[Vampire://Krimm]

All very well done, kiddo <3

I love the new Pokemon Ricee-chan is spriting for you, they're very cute and suiting for your game :3 Love love the battle screen + storyline by the way~ It all looks wonderful!

[Bentley1994]

Team Chaos? Awesome Name!
This game looks great!

[Minorthreat0987]

I just wanted to post to keep the thread alive. I have been working on overworld sprites. I wasn't much on the hero sprite so I made a new hero that I will show soon.

Unfortunatly my computer got a virus so I am waiting for it to get back from the repair shop, as soon as that happens I will hopefully be able to get a decent update posted.

I assure you this game is not dead. So don't forget about it!

[Vampire://Krimm]

A virus? D: That sucks...

I hope you get it back soon, I look forward to seeing more of Iridium :3

[Minorthreat0987]

I got some horrible. I didn't make it too public, but my computer has been in the shop being fixed for the past month. Well I finally got it back today, and I got quite a shock. Unfortuantly everything was so corrupted and infested with viruses and malware that all of my files, including Iridium were lost. Since I cannot pinpoint the exact date of infestation, I do not want to upload my backup files.
I feel that Iridium has hit is biggest dead end yet, and has reached the point where it is time to nail the coffin shut and call it quits. This event has completely wiped out my determination and I feel its time to hang up the game-making belt and call that quits as well.

Thank you all for the support. I will continue to come here from time to time and check up on the games here. Thank you sincerely.

Minorthreat.

[Lady Berlitz]

Wow, that's horrible! ;_; Hopefully you can find someone who can take up the project, but I'm glad to see that you'll still come on PC every so often. I hope that someday you start up another project, maybe some time in the future after this incident.

[Alistair]

Wow, that sucks that Iridium is gone. Instead of quitting, though, why not start something new? Instead of taking the conventions of the traditional fangame, make something completely new that no one has thought of before (both gameplay-wise and story-wise).

Offtopic:
Also, for future reference, get NOD32, monitor your computer's processes, make sure you only go to trusted websites, and monitor what you download. I still have a '95 desktop that has been virus-free since I got it (even though I did not have the internet until well over 6 years after my parents bought it for me). Ignore this if you already take these precautions, though.

[Soul.//Silver]

noooo...(repeat "o" 1000 times). I really loved this game and now it's coming to an end :(
I hope you come back to game making eventually.
I'm just curious, how did you get so many viruses? Just seems a bit....bizarre.

(Check your PM's, there will be one from me just as soon as I type it up).

[Atomic Reactor]

Wow, your luck is really low :[
I'm sad to hear that this game is gone for the 2nd time..
Well, i hope you stick to your word and keep visiting :]


PS. Alistair had a good idea... theyr must be some other kinda game youve had an idea for? Not just pokemon.
