Pokemon Dawn: Revamped [Archive] - The PokéCommunity Forums

May 23rd, 2005, 02:09 AM

Ladies and Gents, Pokemon Dawn is back. This time I am making a ton of improvements to the game which will hopefully make it better and cut completion time. Expect a Demo soon. You may hate me for some improvements, or you may like them. Hopefully, you like them.

- Hoenn was removed from the game completely. I was contemplating removing Johto and Kanto as well, making only Lento. However, due to Johto/Kanto completion percentage, they will remain.

- Only Dawn will be made, with Midday to follow.

- 100 New Pokemon has been cut to about 50+

- Group CBS...

- Colored words have been removed.

- New message system.

- Some towns redesigned.

- And a whole lot more...

New Screens:
A shot from outside the Violet PC. Apparently Sprout Tower was changed:

I know it's a lot of Johto, but I did show a lot of Lento, so I thought I'd show some Johto.

I am so glad to see you back in game making action...I played your demos a couple of times,the stroy behind them was good,but what you lacked was a battle system.So do you have it now?

I will have it by next demo. This time I won't rush with it's release, so I have ample time to put it in.

Krazy_Meerkat

May 23rd, 2005, 02:27 AM

Yeah I always knew you had a lot of potential but you rushed a demo or two and had a lot of problems.

rubyrulez

May 23rd, 2005, 02:33 AM

Thank You very much for your support. There are a couple of reasons why I took a brief hiatus.

1. School
2. Work
3. My fanfic, Pokemon: Lento Legends
4. Recently started an animation studio as a hobby

On top of that, School will be out soon, so I can do more of all of these things. Here are more screens:

Great screens!Did you switch to RMXP?Cuz the screens are so colorfull.

Berserk

May 23rd, 2005, 05:37 AM

The staircase in the second screen of your first post isn't right. Anyways, I'm glad to see this thing back in progress.

Dawson

May 23rd, 2005, 11:58 AM

It's always good to see a game make a comeback on the forum. The map screens look great, I think the one house you showed could be filled a bit more though.

rubyrulez

May 24th, 2005, 10:57 PM

Just so the stairs in Sprout Tower didn't look weird, I made Sprout Tower Revamped:

Nice better than the first. Cool to see that your back in action! Boom!

blueguy

May 24th, 2005, 11:57 PM

Overall a decent-looking game. Your latest screen is okay, although the stairs appear very awkward and cut-off.

Berserk

May 25th, 2005, 06:01 AM

How about changing the wall tiles to something different? Maybe something custom?

rubyrulez

How about changing the wall tiles to something different? Maybe something custom?

Sorry, not very good with creating custom chipsets... :\

I also made an edit to the berry masters house, and made it smaller. However, I may not make all houses like this:

May 26th, 2005, 07:51 AM

I see nothing wrong with that! Looks great in my opinion.

Peekimon

May 26th, 2005, 10:34 AM

All of the screenshots are wonderful :) they are so well done :) Keep up the great work :)

rubyrulez

May 26th, 2005, 11:52 AM

Thanks for the comments. I have decided that I will make all the Johto/Kanto houses like that. As of now I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with Lento houses, but I'll keep you posted.

GymLeaderLance99

May 26th, 2005, 12:39 PM

This looks great so far! I played your other demo, and you did a good job with that one. BTW, is this made in RM2K3?

Yes, this is RM2K3. Thank's for the great comments! :D

I'm posting from work right now, but I should have a few more screens later tonight.

well, it's so nice to see this game back in action. i love those screens, and good luck.

rubyrulez

May 27th, 2005, 12:40 AM

Thank you Munchy. Anyways, as promised, I have a ton of new screens:

First, Kurt's House. I know it's kinda big, but I actually like it. Plus, there's room for all his stuff:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev010.png

Route 33, just outside Union Cave:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev011.png

Guess who we get to meet:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev013.png

Hoenn was cut out due to the overwhelming work, but who says I can't bring it up in conversation:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev012.png

This trade seems familiar *cough*evolutions*cough*:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev014.png

And finally, the dark and scary Ilex Forest. Too dark? Let me know so I can brighten things up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev015.png

Pete

May 27th, 2005, 01:34 AM

Nice screens. They are seriously good. I really like Ilex Forest. Any chance of a Celebi event?

rubyrulez

May 27th, 2005, 01:38 AM

That's not a bad idea...I might think about that for a while.

(Thinks about it)

It shall be done!

God Of Water

May 27th, 2005, 02:19 AM

So there Falker`s parents I wondered who they were.
Maybe you could make Ilex Forest a bit more lighter.
But overall its good.

Neo-Dragon

May 27th, 2005, 05:47 AM

your forest looks brillent(sp?). I don't think its too dark at all. The screen tone fits in well.

Berserk

May 27th, 2005, 10:48 PM

I like Falkner's father and Kurt's house. Nice mapping.

rubyrulez

May 29th, 2005, 08:24 PM

I like Falkner's father and Kurt's house. Nice mapping.

Thanks a lot! I wanted to let you all know a couple of things.

1. I still need custom charsets of the guys who helped out for the PokeCommunity Center. I'll see if I can find the list in the old thread. Otherwise, I will be forced to use default charsets.

2. I am still open to suggestions...

More screens to come! (When I can get something interesting together.)

Munchy the Munchlax

May 30th, 2005, 01:02 AM

great job, can't wait to see some more of your screens.

rubyrulez

May 30th, 2005, 01:18 AM

Well, I do have a few screens up my sleeve:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev016.png>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev017.png>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev018.png

Seem familiar? This time the event happens in all 3 regions.

Berserk

May 30th, 2005, 03:34 AM

Looks nice... Keep it up, mate!

Dawson

May 30th, 2005, 08:01 AM

Screens look good, particularly the outside ones. There's really not much I can say about the building screens though.

rubyrulez

May 30th, 2005, 04:24 PM

Screens look good, particularly the outside ones. There's really not much I can say about the building screens though.

I will probably be changing the Lento houses as well, to make them smaller.

rubyrulez

June 4th, 2005, 10:01 AM

Well, there may not be updates for a while since I have exams this week. Anyway, I will leave you with this totally random screenshot.

Very cool,hm...random screen!!!

rubyrulez

July 2nd, 2005, 12:50 AM

Sorry for not updating in the longest. Yes, I am still working on Dawn, but school and work has got me crazy. I should have the whole month of August off :)

Anyway, here's another random screen. This time, I started working on Johto!

This game looks really cool! I'd love to play a demo sometime

GymLeaderLance99

July 2nd, 2005, 03:26 PM

Yeah, that's a good screen. Hmmm... A new gym in Cherrygrove, eh? This should be interesting...

Munchy the Munchlax

July 4th, 2005, 12:16 AM

hey man, i like that cherrygrove screen. can't wait to see whats up with the new gym!

Pete

July 4th, 2005, 03:28 PM

Nice, can't wait for the gym!

Uber_Flame

July 9th, 2005, 05:10 PM

I gotta say Those screens are awsome,and it looks like you have night and day like from g/s/c
they're nice,i'd really want to play the demo on this thing

rubyrulez

July 10th, 2005, 04:56 PM

Thanks for the nice comments everyone :)

I figured out how the gym is going to work. After defeating the 16 leaders of Kanto/Johto, the new gym leader moves in. I am wondering if I should make it a necessary or optional battle...

Pete

July 12th, 2005, 04:41 PM

That sounds cool. Make it optional after Red in Mount Silver. Or move Red and make him the gym leader. That would be sweet. Just a suggestion btw.

Omega Latios

July 15th, 2005, 03:07 AM

Cool Screens! Are You Going To Post More Soon?

rubyrulez

July 17th, 2005, 12:59 AM

Thanks for the great comments, and for your support. I probably will make it an optional battle. BTW, Red is no longer at the top of Mt. Silver. I moved the league up there, and the old league is now an abandoned building where you can catch one of the Hoenn Legendaries.

As for screens, there aren't really any worthwile screens to post, but I'm working on it.

DarkDoom3000

July 17th, 2005, 01:35 AM

cool screens
good ta know you r still working on it :)

Munchy the Munchlax

July 19th, 2005, 10:51 PM

hmmmm... so the kanto/johto league is on mt. silver...

interesting...

Outermon

August 3rd, 2005, 01:37 PM

Wow, your game is amazing! How do u get the pics to stay normal size on Rm2k3, i thought it could only be done on XP and can it be done on Rm2k?

Superiority

August 3rd, 2005, 01:55 PM

gets ripped that way.
it stays the size that the chipsets and charasets are in 2k3/2k

rukario_master82394

August 7th, 2005, 11:08 PM

rubyrulez

August 8th, 2005, 12:12 AM

Thanks a lot, you guys! I'm working on the game little by little, and it's coming along great. Hoping to start working on getting the Battle System in there soon, so I can get a demo out, but no rush...

BTW, I had these sprites made by some talented spriters. What do you think?

Omega Latios

I haven't been updating the thread because there is nothing worthwile to update with. A lot has been going on to keep me busy, and when I do get to work on the game, they're little updates. No worries, I have not given up and will work on the game when I can.

Wolf_Goddess

August 27th, 2005, 09:44 AM

rubyrulez

August 27th, 2005, 11:30 AM

Idea.

How about, at one point of the game, you can have someone follow you around so you can do double battles and they can be key for helping you get somewhere(Like a boat, a building, ect.)...Just a suggestion if you're still open to them...

Yes, I am forever open to suggestions. That sounds like a great idea, given I can figure out a caterpiller system.

MatiZ Master

August 27th, 2005, 11:46 AM

how about changing some of the pokemon charsets (like that pikachu in your banner) to more fr\lg look?
this will make the game look better

rubyrulez

September 7th, 2005, 02:29 AM

Well, I've been working my tail off on this and other things over the summer vacation. Here is a list of the changes, plus some more screens.

*Redesigned Maps: Redwood Town, Rote A1
*New Font because the old one looked bad
*Hoenn Starters obtainable in Johto.

And: The screens:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev023.png
Well, it seems as if Kurt has the starters, but I wonder why

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev024.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/rubyrulez/Rev025.png
Top: Route A1, Bottom: Redwood Town. Notice that Prof. Palm has a Jigglypuff.

More updates soon, if school doesn't keep me too busy...

DarkPegasus

September 7th, 2005, 09:35 AM

Nice screens! Do you have a battle system yet?

rubyrulez

September 7th, 2005, 10:36 PM

Speaking of the battle system, that's the one thing that's giving me problems. Seems that I'm trying to install it into the game, but during testing, the opponent gets knocked out in one hit andthen the game freezes. Anybody who worked on the system know why this is?

rubyrulez

September 11th, 2005, 07:13 PM

I have a Pokemon Dawn update:

I will be transferring this entire project, over time, to RPG Maker XP. I probably will still work on the RPG Maker 2003 version as well. Hopefully, I can break some ground on the XP version soon.

BleachXP.com

September 12th, 2005, 03:41 AM

rpg maker xp sucks... no offense to that ppl like it but i think its crap. RM2k3 is better...

x-treme scripter

September 12th, 2005, 05:30 AM

It's crap when you use the default scripts, But you can make things much better ... if you know RGSS scripting ...

Jirachi Trainer

September 16th, 2005, 10:28 AM

the hack is looking a real treat it must have been hard to redo johto without a GBA version of the places to use.im impressed :D good luck also could you PM me when you get a demo or the full version up.

Miam! It seems to be a good project!
I know it's a stupid question (which shows that your game is interessant), but can you estimate how many time you'll need to complete your game?

VERY GOOD HACK KEEP IT UP rubyrulez

[_DarkDragon_]

December 3rd, 2005, 06:12 AM

dude, this IS NOT AN HACK, any game in the game development forums was made with some kind of program, hacks have their own forums.

rubyrulez

Miam! It seems to be a good project!
I know it's a stupid question (which shows that your game is interessant), but can you estimate how many time you'll need to complete your game?

I actually have no idea when the game should be completely finished, might give it a while since I usually am really busy.

UPDATE: As you may have heard the last couple of posts, I have found someone to help with the battle system. For now, it will use the DBS but hopefully soon I can get help with implementing the CBS into the game.

Barry

December 3rd, 2005, 12:57 PM

Hey. Don't forget what I made for you:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/yari/Requests%20I%20Made/Bsprite12.png

I could always make new ones that are better... just give me some specs in pm.

Also. To those that just come here and don't post, these are not for stealing and if you do, I'll hunt you down. These are just for RubyRulez.

rubyrulez

December 3rd, 2005, 02:03 PM

I never forgot what you made me, those are being used in my game already...

And you're definitely getting credit for them!

shadowmastermarcus

December 3rd, 2005, 08:32 PM

beta might b a bit
not till CBS and CMS finished, but that wont take long

rubyrulez

December 3rd, 2005, 09:00 PM

The beta might be released after the CBS/CMS is finished, there's still a bit more mapping I'd like to cover before another demo.

Barry

December 3rd, 2005, 10:09 PM

I never forgot what you made me, those are being used in my game already...

And you're definitely getting credit for them!
That's the main reason I brought it up to make sure you were giving credit. When I make sprites, I always check up on them once in a while to make sure anyone using them is using credit. I have a list =D

And as I said, I can make some better ones if you want.

rubyrulez

December 3rd, 2005, 10:38 PM

I get the feeling you don't trust that I was gonna give credit :(

Barry

December 3rd, 2005, 11:36 PM

I get the feeling you don't trust that I was gonna give credit :(
That's.. very negative thoughts. I was offering to make you new ones but I guess you don't want any.

rubyrulez

December 3rd, 2005, 11:49 PM

That's.. very negative thoughts. I was offering to make you new ones but I guess you don't want any.

Thanks for your offer, I appreciate it. The ones I have are perfect:D

Plus, I remember the hard work you went through to make the ones I'm using now in the first place. What type of guy would I be to make you go through that again?

shadowmastermarcus

December 4th, 2005, 12:39 AM

How.. on Earth.. did you make a fully fuctioning CBS.. that fast... in RM2K3?!

rubyrulez

December 5th, 2005, 12:30 AM

Well, I'm not sure if it's a CBS persay. From what I was shown in the example, it uses the DBS.

shadowmastermarcus

December 5th, 2005, 02:05 AM

its actually the usual Battle, except i customised it, to be like pokemon games, i can make a one like Neo-Dragons, easy, just takes a bit more time,

my cms is stuffing up, anyone know how make you stop moving when it comes up

Somebody was defacing the stuff I put on the Pokemon Fan Game Wiki, and replacing everything I put in with "HACKED"

It was fixed.
