Pokémon Shadow Dancer

[Dream Illusionist]

Well, I've been planing and making this game for a month now, an I made quite some progress, so, I'll post here:

Storyline:

It's a story about a young hero starting his journey in the Felora Region, a region south of Kanto, filled with beautifum trees and plants,
which would apparently be normal, but...
Three mysterious persons appear, and the land, filled with trees and plants
starts to go astray, and decaying. No-one notes until a certain part, and the land, as more time passes, is turning into a complete wasteland. Their only hope lies in a strange dancer pokémon, and the hero's power.
Will our hero solve the problem?
Will he complete his journey?
Who are those three mysterious persons?
Only time will tell...


ANd here are some screens

Mapped until the first Gym.

Tell me what you think ;)

[DarkDoom3000]

nice thores cactus look kinda odd
besides that it looks good :)

[Naito]

By the looks of the cactus, they aren't cactus at all, they are probably withered trees.The desert is a bit plain, but the rest of the screenshots are alright.

[Sorye HK]

The first desert map needs more filling. The second and third look great, but I think a few pathways might be nice.

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks, and about the cactuses, it's part of the Jelly Desert, the only with those cactuses. But it also contains normal now, and few of them.

Just for you to know, it will only be accessed later in the game ;)

Well, here are the things the game will contain:

-CBS (or CDBS, haven't decided yet)
-CMS
-Day/Night Cycle (underway)
-Minigames (Only one made yet)
-New Pokémon (dunno the number)

Oh, and I'll try to fill the sesert more with rocks to not be so incomplete. Thanks for the tip. ;)

[Datriot]

this game is lookin' good! Keep it up, nice screens, desert looks okay, you do need to put more paths though, can't wait for more!:)

[Dawson]

The first screen is way too empty but it's a desert and deserts are usually vast and sparce anyway :\ Maybe adding rocks and those sandy 'paths' that are in the desert area of Ru/Sa/Em? They'd make the area look a bit more filled up.
The last two screens look pretty good but a bit blocky and square, if you know what I mean.

[Dream Illusionist]

Yeah, I'll have to agree with you, Dawson. Thanks. I'll take care of that now.

Oh, by the way, here's a silhouette of a pokémon appearing in the game I'll reveal it later...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/Silhouette1.png

I'll reveal more screen and stuff later. ;)

[DarkDoom3000]

whao that looks like its gona be a kool pokemon :)):):):):)

[Jeff_PKLight]

The story is very interesting. :) The maps, though, could use a bit more revising. Just listen to Dawson. ;)

Well, I wish you good luck with your game.

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks everyone for the comments. Maps are now fixed, more natural, and all events added in maps made.

Here's a screen of Stroll Woods, a large forest with parts ony accessible later.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen8.png

[Datriot]

whoa, cool map Sylph, perfext for the first town.

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks, datriot.

now for the hint: They wear robes.

Got the day/night system working now too, but the only problem is that it happens also in houses :P

The first town contains your character's house, other houses, the lab, and a school and dorms (important). Also a secret area which can only be accessed only later, via a route. ;) Here's another screen of the first town, and one of Route 1.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen9.png
Route 1

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen10.png
Central Plaza in town.

[Omega Latios]

Cool Screens Sylph! I Can't Wait To Play This Game ^^ Can I Be Beta Tester?

[Dream Illusionist]

Sure ;)

I am currently biggening (;)) Allumisia town.

And for you to know, 12 hours is 24 hours in the game (the game must be on during that time)
24 hours is a day, and the game starts on a Monday. On specific days, special events happen :)

So, what do you think?

[Chazzy]

Looks good :D, about the day and night in house, just change the screen tone back to 100 % on every colour ans sat, then when you leave have the same events you had to change the screen tone in the first place ( i know i can't explain things well :D)

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks, I think I got it :)

EDIT: It worked :)!

[Sorye HK]

The town looks very nice and cosy.

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks, Daegon :)

Added a special event that happens once you leave your town, with the three mysterious persons...
~
This time, the hint is: One's a girl.

[Omega Latios]

Now I Know Who The Mysterios Persons Are...But I'm Not Telling It XD I'm So Evil!

[Dream Illusionist]

Well... guess no-one guessed, so I might as well say that...

you will find out in the demo coming soon ;)

Well, screen of Forest entrance.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen11.png

By the way, does anyone know of a good non-pokémon music for a forest?

[Budgie_boy]

Well... guess no-one guessed, so I might as well say that...

you will find out in the demo coming soon ;)

Well, screen of Forest entrance.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen11.png

By the way, does anyone know of a good non-pokémon music for a forest?

Easy, I will send all the music I have for pokemon (including non-pokémon music) in a pm...
Do you have winrar? (Will send as a RAR file)

[Dream Illusionist]

no, only .zip files, plz
And I can't download Winrar, either...

Well, I feel it's time to reveal more stuff from the game, so here's a bit of info about a location in the game

Helmium Volcano- A active volcano with very liquid lava. Normally a hotspot for many tourists (XD). It contains many caves inside connecting to almost all the region. A Railroad is being built there.

At the foot of the Volcano, you can find Hemari Town.

[Budgie_boy]

Ok then, zip file it is.

Like the volcano thing good joke LOL!

Off topic:

Do you want to join the story and everything of this game to Pokemon: World Adventures?!!!
(Name being revised by the team!)

[Dream Illusionist]

I'll PM you about that.

Now, I'm proud to announce that finally, I got a new textbox applied! (The only problem is that the font's still white, and I dunno how to change it... When, that's solved, I'll show you all a screen of it...)

[Budgie_boy]

What you do is type in:

\C [COLORID] In the message then type in what color you want I Think?

But you have to make a color ID in the scripting thing:

1. Go to WINDOW_MESSAGE
2. Go to the line that says 'Def Message_Box'
3. Under that type in: Message text color = '#ffffff' or any other hex digit.

[Dream Illusionist]

I'm not getting it that well, besides, I don't see any def message_box anywhere in WINDOW_MESSAGE...

Well, here are two screens of Stroll Woods

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen12.png

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen13.png

[Budgie_boy]

Oh well doesn't matter, My knowledge of the langauge is poor and I haven't got the script in front of me cos I'm at work..
Anyway, I'll try to write a script to help you once i'm back at my house!!!:nervous:

[Dream Illusionist]

Sure, no problem :)


I've been taking care of ome minor details now, and I'm proud to say... No more mettalic beds! They're wooden now :)

[Budgie_boy]

Excellent!!
Ok, use any stuff you want from the houses tilesheet on my thread (just mind credit)

[Dream Illusionist]

No need, thanks :)

I present you, a screen of Route 2. :D Yay! :)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen14.png

[Budgie_boy]

All of the screenies are really good well done!!

What's the 3 mysterious rivals then? Come on put me out of my mystery... Is it any 3 of the ffx characters?

[Dream Illusionist]

nope.... You'll have to wait for the demo... (doubt they'll be there, but I'll say when I launch it...)

Made a Coliseum, where you can choose one of the courses, and defeat all the adversary pokémons.

Besides in-town, there will be a little plaza in Route 2, and a route to the beach (only accessed later).

Here's another Route 2 screen :)

[Budgie_boy]

excellent screenshots!! As usual!! ;)
Wear robes and talk funny? Would that be ---------- (Not saying just in case)!?

[Dream Illusionist]

I dunno... If you don't say who, I can't tell you if you're right or wrong :P

Currently modifying the tournament room ;)

[Smarties-chan]

Wow this looks awesome I can tell this game is going to be the best keep up the good work sylph.

[Sorye HK]

How about some flowers in the first pic? Too much green in my opinion.

[Dream Illusionist]

Ok, thanks for the comments, and I'll put some flowers there too, I just showed those because of the chat ;)

Gym fighters and disposal fully complete. Also finished the Monk's Retire. (A cave in Allumisia.)

And I also present: NEW TITLE SCREEN!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/001-Title02.png

[Jayje]

good work on the maps. everything sopunds like its comin together. so when can we expect the demo?

[Dream Illusionist]

Mid-August probably. But there will NOT be neither a CBS nor a CMS in it.

NEWS

Made a Battle Screen for the game. The called Zero-Controller Arena, where when you meet a trainer or wild pokémon, it encloses both your pokémon and the adversary's in an arena, and you give orders to your pokémon and watch the battle from a device.

(Nevermind the DBS and battlers)

[Budgie_boy]

Nice idea but I prefer the usual system, if you want, once I get a CBS up and running I'll show a screenie of it in my post, If you prefer to use mine then I'll PM you the script of it to use in your game!!!:D

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks. ;)

Here's another screen of the battle background, but this time (still DBS), with the pokémon. :P

You can go to Rulentia now. ;) Between Rulentia and Allumisia, there's Route 3,4 and Mezurino Cave, a small cave. (More like a tunnel)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/BTLSCREEN2.png

[Budgie_boy]

It's good but not my favourite style I think that you'll have to ask everyone else if they would use that style....

IT's new and imaginative so good luck with that...

[Dream Illusionist]

I also don't like it, but it's the best I could do :P

I'll try again, something different :)

Here are a couple of screens, for you all to see ;)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen20.png

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen21.png

Comments please :)

[snuffles]

when do you think it will be finished it look classy, and what would i need to play it??

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks ;)
Probably be finished in the end of 2006, Beggining of 2007 (or so I hope :P)

Been working a lot on the game these past few days, and there are many news:

1- Route 3/4/Verneccio City/ Selapatos Cave mapped
2- In Verneccio (the musical city), there will be a Disco, where you can hear various music, and also a concert room, where NPC sing various "hits" of them.
3- Dark Pokemon will be in the game. They look like NPC, but when you talk to them, a battle iniciates against them. They are horridly tough!

And now, some screens:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen22.png

Route 4


Comments please.

[Smarties-chan]

This looks great sylph the route 4 pic looks a little odd I don't think the rocks look good up there but that's only my opinion you also put a wrong tile in the water in your first screen http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8526/thebug4ce.th.png (http://img114.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thebug4ce.png) I marked the wrong tile with a red circle.

[Dream Illusionist]

Oh! That's right! OI still need to fix the water autotile... :P


Sorry for not posting for a while now... My parents organized me a secret holiday. Here's is more info about the characters of the game:

KAIN

The male hero. He lives in Fellmoore with his mother, and frequents the School there. He is given a pokémon in the day of the Trainer, when the problems start brewing. He is a tall, brown eyed, and brown hair teenager, with a strong and kind attitude. He wants to solve this problem and save the world for everyone.

ASHLEY

The female hero. She lives in Fellmoore with her mother, and frequents the School there. She is given a pokémon in the day of the Trainer, when the problems start brewing. She is a tall, brown eyed, and brown hair teenager, with a calm and caring attitude. SHe wants to solve this problem and save the world for everyone

ANN

The hero's rival. A tall, blond, short haired girl with an annoying attitude. She is VERY curious, and never thinks twice in annoying the hero. She wants to know what's going on.

PROF. LOIS

The Felora Region professor. She's a caring professor who wants the best for everyone. She helps the Hero countless times on its adventure.
I think she looks like someone we know...

THE PROPHETS
Yay, finally, the three mysterious people!

MALIK

A man that survived in another world, now wants to try decaying this one. He is no longer a demon, and he's tall, blond haired, and with good looks. He's one of the three prophets. (And he's still trying to revive his mother)

MELODY

A tall, black haired women.She is no longar a demon, and she thinks beauty is superficial, and will not stop trying what she says its "...making the world more beautiful...". She is one of the three prophets.

LEEHALT

A tall, shady man. He is the leader of the prophets, and tries desperatly to "evolve" the world. His strengh is unparralleled.

Also, the demo has beebn deleyed due to these holidays, now being the beggining of September.

Comments please ;)

[Smarties-chan]

Sounds nice :) glad to hear you didn't cancel the game, I thought this threa was going to die, I'm glad it's not are you going to post pics for the characters soon?

[Dream Illusionist]

Yup! Possibly ;)

I also thought of an idea, to go to another dimension, parallel to Felora...

What do you think?

[Smarties-chan]

That sounds cool :D maybe you would have to go through anohter dimension to get past water before you get surf? I love the idea of a parallel dimnesion or maybe there could be many parallel dimensions? And at some point the would all get mixed up sorta like in final fantasy 8.

[Dream Illusionist]

Not like that, but the idea is on hold

Editing the Musical Town. (Name won't be revealed yet), and made two minigames, and their description below:

Get those Gems!

A mini-game where the hero has to find all the gems in the area before time runs out. Currently, there are 3 levels.

Pokémon Racing

Get on those PokéKarts and dash through the fields, trying to get the cup (Only Time Trial working now...)

They can be played in the Mini-Game Podium in the Musical City.
Added musics for the Disco, and thinking of who should sing in the concert rooms (ideas, please)

Comments please ;)

[Hacker]

EXELENT!!! i love all the ideas.

if you need resources just msn me, i dont have rmxp here :(

[Sorye HK]

Love 'em. I always seem to like mini games more than the actual games;;;

[Dream Illusionist]

No need, thanks. Well, to show everyone, here's a silhouette of a new pokémon:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/Silhouette2.png

[Hacker]

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

[Sorye HK]

In the last screen, 2 NPCs are both on the side of the road. Did you put them there on purpose?

[Smarties-chan]

You can change your clothes? W00T well I'm really looking forward to this game and I hope you finish it too.

[AmpharosLightning]

Are they Team _______ People? (if you made up any team that is.)

[Budgie_boy]

Nice one, I've got a few new clothes designs which I'll give you sylph through MSN... PM me your MSN address...

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks everyone for your comments ;)


@Daegon- No, I made them walk randomly, and they accidentally walked there :P

@AmpharosLightning- No teams are in the game :P, I got sick of so many teams in the anime/games/manga... (Rocket, Rocket 2, Rocket Neo, Aqua, Magma...) So, only bad guys :P

@Budgie_Boy- Thanks, PM sent ;)

And now, I'll reveal the pokemon:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/Ghostpng.png

Made by MudkipGirl too (she's my pokemon drawer)

It just hasn't got a name yet. Any ideas? ;)

[Webmaster Tyler]

I like it and i think it should be called ghostly!

[Smarties-chan]

Ghostly sounds a little like ghost and is pretty close to gastly. How about.... spokra? I know it's a pretty weird name but I just can't come up with anything.

[Dream Illusionist]

Sorry, no, I don't like those names...

Ok, more info: The next silhouette will be of a Dark-type pokemon.
The 2nd Gym leader is a Psychic-type user (not fully decided)
You have more two diff clothing to buy

That's all for now, everyone.
Comments, please ;)

[Omega Latios]

[MudkipGirl]

Well here goes ^_^
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Neolight/Tigahtigah.png
Have no name yet and is open for suggestions ^_^

And also here comes a new silhouette :p the picture will be posted tomorrow if I have time ;)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Neolight/birdie.png

[DarkPegasus]

The silhouette looks nice, can't wait to see the pic.

[ZeroArmada]

Very intersting game! The features you said you'll be adding are very creative. I havent tried making a game yet but I do know alot about the Rpg Maker series and coding, I dont mean this negatively but dont you think your promising a bit too much? I also think your mapping style is too orginized try placing the flowers randomly. I'm not good with names but you could call it Panthier. This game looks like its running smoothly so far, I would like to see a demo soon any idea to when you'll release one? Good Luck!

[Dream Illusionist]

Promising a bit too much? WHat do you mean? It already has mini-games, clothes system and card system... (By the way, nice Kite Avatar :P)

Time for more screenies. They're all from Route 5, in which I haven't yet made events.

great maps Sylph, keep up the good work.:)

[ZeroArmada]

Promising a bit too much? WHat do you mean? It already has mini-games, clothes system and card system... (By the way, nice Kite Avatar :P)

Thanks, Kite is awsome :)! What I mean is some of these seem to use alot of coding to complete if you know what I mean.

[Dream Illusionist]

I know, and RGSS is not my strong point, but I have people helping me, thankfully ;)

I am trying to make a card duelling system myself, but if I don't succeed, Budgie_Boy has one for me (thanks ;))
This is all I got till now. I'll be editing this post as it improves. This is how it will look (without menus) (card images retrieved from Fake Cards forum, used only for testing)

Comments please

[Webmaster Tyler]

Nice that'll be really really cool to have.
I want to put one in my game but im not sure if I will!
But ur game beats mine thats for sure

[MudkipGirl]

Nice sylph ^_^
Well Ill post the Picture in a few seconds ^_^ just have to get it on the other PC

[Dream Illusionist]

Managed to get the pokemon to attack (nevermind the menu used), and to have HP/Damage, and be able to KnockOut the other card.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/CardTest2.png

When the battle starts, you select an attack the card posesses


http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/CardTest3.png

Then, you can choose INFO to see information about the attack or USE to hit the opponent.

Comments please.

[Webmaster Tyler]

Thats really cool how you made that!

[Dream Illusionist]

And I was able to made it only by using variables ;)
If I succeed, I'll post a tutorial in how to make one in the tutorials section :P

[MudkipGirl]

Here comes the Picture
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Neolight/birdiecoulor.png

And here is a new silhouette ^_^
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Neolight/Tricerashade.png

[Datriot]

wow, that Pokemon is awesome!!!!
You're card system is quite good Sylph, but I have to admit the layout and stuff looks a little dodgy.
And it seesm you're not actually using card pictures, if you want, I can make the Pokemon cards for you.

[Dream Illusionist]

Oh, It isn't perfevted ;) It was only for you to se how it would be.
It will have a arena background, the images right in their spot...
Oh, and I couldn't put the whole card there. It would become or very small, or occupy a ot of space, so, like Pokémon TCG for GameBoy, only the image appears. ANd the menu won't also be like that ;)

Oh, by the way! Nice pic, MudkipGirl!

[MudkipGirl]

Thanks Sylph :p just put a 2 pixel border around your card image and it will look good :p

[Dream Illusionist]

Two pixels? Ok, I'll get on with it ;)

[MudkipGirl]

^_^ good :p
Soooo what do you guys /girls think the silhouette is? I just wanna know what you think and if someone gets it right^_^

[spike6958]

i think the silhoette is ever a fire pokemon or grass pokemon

[Dream Illusionist]

I know what it is! *and I'm not telling... yet :P*

Got the damage value figured out now.

[Omega Latios]

Nice Card Game Thingy! I Can't Wait To See More!

[Dream Illusionist]

The Get those Gems mini-game is now Get those Pokéballs as you run through deserts, mountains, forests and cities trying to catch the total number of pokeballs in that level before the time runs out.

Here are some screens of the mini-game:


http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Pokeball1.png

And the game begins

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Pokeball2.png

Found a pokeball

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Pokeball3.png

Yay! I found them all!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Pokeball4.png

Ooopss... Time ran out...

Comments please.

[Datriot]

Hey, that looks really good! Cool mini-games!

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks ;) Taking care of more levels now.

[MudkipGirl]

Well:p about the silhouette ^_^ I havent had time to finish it but its going to be a grass and maybe ground Triceratops:p

[Dream Illusionist]

Aww.... You blew the surprise :P

Got my hand on Anvil studio now, so I'm editing a few tunes for the game (as soon as I understand how it works :P)

EDIT: Made my first tune: Ronald's Theme, from Pokémon TCG for GB. If used give credit ;)

[MudkipGirl]

Whoot ^_^ I like the ronald thing ^_^ it sounds like the old music but in a new form XD

[Dream Illusionist]

Made many new musics for the game now ;)
Also made two new levels for the mini-game (I'll post screens later)

Oh, and I have to announce that unfortunately due to I not having the overworld charsets of the Prophets, the demo is delayed. I hope you understand.

[Sorye HK]

Me love mini games~ Lookin' forward to the screens.

[Dream Illusionist]

Ok, here are more mini-game screens: (NOTE: I know the water autotile's wrong. I gotta fetch me a better one :P)

They're all of the Isles level.

Comments please.

[shadow909]

game looks great keep up the good work.

[Sorye HK]

The mapping looks pretty good.

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks for the coments ;)

HJust to tell you that I got the HMs figured out. Got the originals, plus a new one:

HM09- Data Drain ("Heals" distorted areas back to normal)

I'll post screenies later on how this works.

EDIT= 6th page!!!! YAY!

[Datriot]

Well, Sylph has gone on holiday until the weekend if I remmber correctly so he asked me to post this saying that's he'll be back soon and he still wants you to post your comments, etc.

[MudkipGirl]

yup ^^ See you Sylph ^^

Data Drain sounds like an uber cool attack ^^ Also as i told you yesterday i made up this new seagull/swan kinda thing ^^ you might want to use it in your game? The legs ill have to fix tough ^^ and yeah for the Trading card system in your game I made the "futuristic" version better ^^ The background now has a Crescent / aura with lowered opacity so it looks like light ^^

AND: Heh I would like some suggestions for a name on the black tiger and the birdie ^^ if anyone has some ^^ Sylph said it was up to me to find them names if i wanted to ^^

[Kenshin]

Looks sweet. the best RPG maker game i've seen so far. I'd give it a 9/10 rating.

[Datriot]

Thanks for the coments ;)

Hey, ain't that Data Drain from that game .hack?

[MudkipGirl]

Whoot ^^ think I got a good name for the tiger ^^ Oscuriga ^^

[Dream Illusionist]

Backie! Sorry for the long time :P!

@MudkipGirl: Hmmm.... A name for the tiger... What about... Mythigra? (Myth+Tiger) Just an idea :P Oh, and you gotta show me that futuristic look!

@datriot: It's a temporary name :P. It has to do about dimension distortions, and that was the first thing that came into my mind... Ideas, anyone?

@Kenshin: Thanks a lot ;)

Well, as I just came back, there's not much to show, but here's a screen of what can be done with the HM09 (a distorted object).
PS- The map's not yet finished, as you can see (just started on it).

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen37.png

Comments please ;)

[Smarties-chan]

Sounds good, but the map is pretty... empty, well keep the screenies coming sylph.

[Dream Illusionist]

It was test map :) You can see that in the previous post :)
At any rtae, because the long time... I have to say something

The beta will be out really soon now! A day or two only!
I hope you all like it!

[Smarties-chan]

W00T! This is great. I can't wait to try out the beta.

[bob5000]

Looking good, that new Hm idea sounds awsome, hope it goes well can't wait for a demo!

[blueguy]

Your silhouetted pokémon are all very cool and creative but have you sprited them?

[Budgie_boy]

Sylph about those Card Scripts I have had numerous problems with all the Scripts I've come up with and am just getting rid of the bugs in them so you might get my card script earlier than usual!!!!!!!

If you need sprites for the pokemon then I'm your guy for the job. If you need a hand that is...
By the look of things It's coming along great!

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks everyone for the comments!


@Blueguy- No :). My graphical artist made them : Mudkipgirl.

@Budgie_boy: Thanks! Oh, and by the way.... still waiting for that charset :P

As soon as I have the prophet charset, the Beta will be out, everyone! :) I hope you have fun with it! :)

Random screen: (from where you first meet your rival. Rival Charset still being revised)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen38.png

[spike6958]

look's cool is the rival been custom made or is it just that you can't get the Charset you want for him because i have load's of Charsets and could give you the one you want

[Dream Illusionist]

No, its' custom, thanks :)
It still needs fixing, but I'll get on with it soon :P

Ok... here's a list of things you can find in the game:

:pokeball: Maps until the musical city.
:pokeball: Various battles (Using only the DBS)
:pokeball: Two levels of the Pokeball hunt mini-game.
:pokeball: Two special events with the rival and one with the prophets .(besides those with the gym and Professor.)
:pokeball: The first Gym battle.
:pokeball: You can choose between Squirtle and Charmander.
:pokeball: Day/Night System.

I might make some of these in time...

:pokeball: More levels of the Pokéball Hunt mini-game.
:pokeball: The PokéRacing mini-game.
:pokeball: CMS (highly doubtful for the moment)
:pokeball: Messiri Mansion (a very special house...details further on)
:pokeball: Some more adventures.

Coments on the list, please :P

[Smarties-chan]

So, have you been working on your game lately? Any updates?

[Dream Illusionist]

Tee-hee :)

Got the CMS going :D

Base script thanks to Blizzy ;)

It's still on an early alpha phase, but it think the right things are there :P

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Sylph009/S%20dancer/Screen40.png

At any rate... I can smell the beta...to a weekend's distance... :D

Hope you like it. (sorry for the long while everybody)

[Smarties-chan]

The menu looks great, but I think bag would sound better than backpack, ooo beta coming out soon =) *dances*

[Budgie_boy]

Crap!!!!!!!!! SORRRY TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER SET THE EVIL TRIO YOU WANTED RIGHT? EMMM>>> BATTLE SPRITES AND OVERWORLD?


Will get those done tonight and post them on this if they haven't already been guessed.

Also You'll need to help me on a few scripting bugs I've come across.
A bag is a better word than backpack...

[Dream Illusionist]

Ok, thanks :)
As soon as you post them, give me 15 minutes and the beta is out, everyone :D! (unless I'm in bed at that time :P)

At any rate...

Ok, I'll go with Bag... you're right, it sounds better :D
The CBS is going underway, and it's going quite well...
Also.... got some more special stuff to the game up in my sleeve... :P
You'll all find out soon enough :)

[Budgie_boy]

Here is the overworlds, only for you my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Datriot]

[Dream Illusionist]

Thanks everyone... :)

@Budgie_Boy: Wow... they're awesome... you just lacked the rest of the Charset :P... At any rate.... super tthanks :D

[Smarties-chan]

[Budgie_boy]

Oh Sh*t!!!!!!!!

Those Were Meant To Be Animated!!!!!
Ok If You Wait A Few Days, I'll Get Those Uploaded Here, Striaght From Work!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dream Illusionist]

I bring an announcement:

HERE'S THE BETA (Finally, huh?)
I couldn't post earlier because I had loads of internet problems and couldn't log in properly.

There re a few bugs that are still unsorted:

:pokeball: Grass animations are not working
:pokeball: Some autotile problems
:pokeball: etc.

At any rate, I hope you all enjoy this small beta.
Next one will be schedehuled (hopefully) in February.

Oh, and there are many things I already made that aren't in the beta. I want them to be a surprise.

The CMS is going on Alpha stage in the beta. Only the save function is operational.

@Budgie_Boy: Thanks :) Please don't take too long.

[Budgie_boy]

I am gonna need a bit of time for the charsets, it's just the tranfering part I have problems with. I have a corrupted floppy disk and no CDs so I have to use the floppy to get stuff I did at home to my workplace so that I can post stuff on PokéCommunity!

None-the-less I will get those here asap!!!!!!!!

Do you need help at all in mapping or anything, Sylph?

Send me your project folder and I'll help along with some things if you need it!

[Budgie_boy]

Sorry to DP...

[Dream Illusionist]

Sorry... It's just that the Beta won't upload!!!
I dunno what's wrong...

[Dogboy2709]

Sorry... It's just that the Beta won't upload!!!
I dunno what's wrong...
what type of file is it in? is it in a .zip file? that might be the problem. I hope the problem gets solved sone.
