[Yuoaman]

In this game you play as 16 year old Darren, Hiros grandson. You also play in a new region called Tiqua, which is just above Johto. Your father, Darien, died a few years ago, due to a strange pokemon disease, and it has broken your family. And a year ago your mother contracted the same disease, now you have to take care of your 10 year old brother Tim. So you work in Prof Chests lab which made you come close too three pokemon.And one day he discovers a cure for your mothers disease. But you have to get a petal of the Ancient Flower. But to get that you need to have a Temple Pass, which you can only get once you have all 8 badges. So you choose one of your three pokemon friends and set out on a journey.

Features
- can travel thru Tiqua Johto and Enrial(Johto is destroyed mess and Enrial is all Forest)
-New type Shadow
-all I'm telling about

Pictures- Umm someone tell me how too put screenshots on.

Looks Pretty Good But There Could Be Islands In The Sea...

[[_DarkDragon_]]

looks good, just wondering if you're gonna leave the borders like that because I don't think RMXP has a ON_LEAVING_NORTH kind of teleport :x

[Yuoaman]

Looks Pretty Good But There Could Be Islands In The Sea...
well i was gonna save this for later but, there are, the Bisqual Islands. your brother is kidnapped with a bunch of pokemon and ends up there. later in the game you have to rescue him.

ps i need some help, if anyone wants to be be a part of this pm me

pps new screenie

Mineton Town


ppps i have decided a side story, Team Shadow, is devoted to capturing pokemon and "leashing" them which switches the pokemon leashed with its counterpart in the Shadow world (you can go there when you unlock Johto, after you save brother) their top scientists have discovered a way to release all the Shadow pokemon by tainting the Ancient Flower, which will release Xythardow the King of Shadow pokemon, which will taint all other pokemon. Thats all so far....

[Omega Latios]

Nice Map, But You Should Add More Detail To The Town, Like Trees And Stuff.

[Yuoaman]

']looks good, just wondering if you're gonna leave the borders like that because I don't think RMXP has a ON_LEAVING_NORTH kind of teleport :x


Meh, i understood looks good then everythin turned to blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bla....etc....

[Chazzy]

Well that was a nice reply....
He meant are you guna leave the borders with no trees or anything to block them off, because rpgmaker xp can't make one event to teleport you to the next map for most of the border, you'll have to make loads of events.....

Simple no?

[Yuoaman]

Well that was a nice reply....

sorry about the rudeness but i dont undertand events yet so it didnt make any sense

[[_DarkDragon_]]

lol, you should before starting a game in RPG Maker XP, as well as RGSS (scripting language) because unless you create an event for each tile you need to restict the teleporting to other maps to one or two tiles otherwise it gets too messy.

[dan48]

try to make the maps a little smaller and see what your result is. It could surprise you how good maps become when you reduce the amount of space.

[Datriot]

Well, this looks promising, good work at what you've done so far.
Nice story, okay maps, you should add more detail though, like trees, different patches of grass, etc.

[Yuoaman]

Wow aren't i the popular one...............

nobody ever answeres me

[Randomjagged]

well id have to say that you shouldnt make a pokemon game without being a) absolutely the best at RMXP - as in, im pretty good and you have to be twice as good as me,
or b. you have to be pretty decent and know RGSS. try making some other random small games before you do your pokemon one, as the most difficult thing is the cbs - even blizzy hasnt finished his yet XD

[Budgie_boy]

That's a wee shame, he's done a good bt of it so he shouldn't give up...

Good start BTW.
You could improve on the map by adding more trees and stuff, don't make it square-like because it just makes it look un-natural.

Other than that nice work!

[Yuoaman]

in the next little while i will be re-doing the towns because they do look a little boring

[Yuoaman]

sorry to double post, but i would like to post my help

Do NOT double post. There's an edit button.

[Fid]

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/Route1.jpg

[Jessekb]

LOL! there was no need to double post :-P

You could have edited you last post :-|


EDIT: Oh the maps are looking good :-D

[Yuoaman]

i know im so stupid sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!

and can people rate this picture from one to ten
10 is like real game quality
1 is putting a picture of your grandmothers hairy legs in the game

[nickburns]

7! It's not terrible like Grandma's hairy legs *shudders* but it isn't as good as the game maps, but good work though.

[Yuoaman]

Thank you for the high grade, though I'd change it to an 11 before someone (you) gets cut
LOL

[Waudby]

Only a few problems, at the top left and the bottom right there are too many gaps there pokemon games only have a few gaps. To reach higher mapping skills with this game u need to use these gaps for somethin maybe a few more tress and the narrower and small trees too!!

[Yuoaman]

your right about the top left, but the bottom right is going to be filled with pokemon (ill tell you why later)

[Avatar]

Stop double posting.
Also, I don't see any credit for my sprites, which you edited. You do not even have permission to use them, remove them.

[bob5000]

Hey Yuoaman, heres the town map, sorry i could post it earliy i haven't been only much later, well here is!

http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/2683/map1ai.png (http://imageshack.us)

If you decided you more added to it just pm me :D

[Yuoaman]

There are a few Towns and Routes missing, but it looks great! Awsome job!

[Budgie_boy]

Stop double posting.
Also, I don't see any credit for my sprites, which you edited. You do not even have permission to use them, remove them.
Ermm Youaman, please listen to the mod!

[Yuoaman]

I just removed them, I was a newb when I found those sprites- I didn't remember where I had got them. Also, how is the map??

I guess I now need some sprites I can use, anyone have them?
I do really need them, Please!!!!!


http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/tiquawithroutesandtowns.jpg
See Bob you missed some stuff

[nickburns]

I see, there are a few things wrong, but i give it an 8/10!

Thank you very much for the permission, Avatar.

[Avatar]

The first one isn't by me. The latter three are (although it's an edited version of my Prof. Elm sprites).

[Yuoaman]

Oh, well I guess that's true, I didn't look at where I was getting thr sprites. But could I get some comments on the game?

P.S. Sorry I don't post as often as I should, but I am working really hard on writing my book...

[nickburns]

Hey! Why don't we see any updates from you anymore. Come on!!

[Yuoaman]

Because! I'm having problem with events! (My characters still are surrounded in the colored boxes).

[Alistair]

Make the character's Transparent and translucent colors the same as there backgrounds are. Anyway, nice game so far! I quite like it!

[Yuoaman]

Oh thanks, it works! I'll show you what it used to look like http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/FirstEvent.jpg

[Alistair]

Wow! That was bad! I am glad you fixed it though. I bet it looks a lot better.

[Yuoaman]

Yeah it does, this is it. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/NewEvent2.jpg

Thanx for the tip...

[cody2cool]

its a really god idea i think hooray

[Yuoaman]

Thank you, here's another screenshot
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/NewEvent3.jpg



Umm... This is emberassing... You know when you Teleport from one map to another... Well I can't cange th tileset so I end up with this
(http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=baddd2ah.jpg)
Welcome to Route One... Yeah...

I [I]need desperately to know how to fix it!! Please!!!!!!!!


P.S. If someone has an updated picture of Hiro from Gold (the one you see when you're in a battle.) that would be great!!


Oh god, will anyone post... I really need help.
----------------------------------------------------
Oops double post... Edited...

[nickburns]

WHOA!! That is terrible... I hope you can get it fixed. Also when is the demo going to be out?

[Yuoaman]

I don't know when the demo'll be out. Probably in the next two or three months...
Anyway new map, http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/CedanForest.jpg Cedan Forest!

Post your comments!

P.S. I still need help with my little problem in my last post...

[bob5000]

Good Forest Yuoaman, prehaps could be a little more maze like but its good, I'd say 8-9/10

[Yuoaman]

Thanks, and it's not supposed to be like a maze, because you need Cut to get through it, and the third badge is the one for Cut. So you need three badges to actually go through the forest.

[Yuoaman]

Here's a new screen
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/Chikoritachoice.jpg

(I've decided to go with the Johto starters since you're so close to Johto, and the people of Tiqua are descendents of those of Johto.)

I guess I should fix Lapras swimming on land, eh...

[DarriN]

Cool, I like the mappings etc.

[Yuoaman]

Here's my Chikorita sprite
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/Chikoritaresized.jpg
A little small but I think it's okay...

[exteradude]

Cool! It's very good! I'm a pretty good mapper. Can I help?

[Yuoaman]

Sure just PM me your MSN!!

[nickburns]

The sprites are pretty wierd lookin... r u gonna use em or us anuther on?

[Yuoaman]

Yeah I've re-don 'em, they look a lot better...

[nickburns]

why dont you everpost!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THis iss stupidd

[Budgie_boy]

He doesn't "everpost" because he's too busy, he's probably working out a few more ideas about the game or something.
Anyway, that chicorita sprite looks like a slightly edited version of mine.....doesn't really matter, I guess most sprites look similar!
http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/1482/budgieowchikorita8yx.jpg Here's my one that I did ages ago, a wee bit different to your one, I used mysterious dungeon sprite as a base for that one.
Oh and it's got a particular pattern around it to prevent theft (and to confirm it's my own).

[Yuoaman]

I re-did mine and it looks a litle taller and better now....

[Shaneypoo17]

have you figured out the teleport thing yet? if you havnt i could help you

[Yuoaman]

Yeah... I found that out a month ago.....

[D3@DW()LF]

your pictures are not working

[Yuoaman]

http://www.freewebs.com/yuoaman/
This is my new site, check Projects to check on the game, Games isn't working...

P.S. Most of the pics are old so they aren't viwable....

[nickburns]

Hey, a poll! i votedd, yoll likke irt!!!!sry for dissin u.....

[Yuoaman]

Thanks, everyone. It's nice to see the support!!!

[Zangooser]

The water in Torrent Town looks alittle unatural.............

[Yuoaman]

What do you mean? It looks fine to me...
Also I really need help right now!!!

[Yuoaman]

I might take a break from this if I don't get any help soon. I have not a single person helping me! If you wish to help please contact me!!!!

[The Dash]

Don't double post Yuoaman.

[Red1530]

This hack looks great. I can't wait for the beta.

[Doc]

Don't double post Yuoaman.

Read the dates, Dashiel.

This hack looks great

This is not a hack...

yuoaman > I went on your site, it is a little empty, one does not learn something about your game...

[Yuoaman]

I'm going to add a forum very soon, look out for it

[The Dash]

Read the dates, Dashiel.

Dates don't matter. Double posting is against the rules nomatter what.

[zidanes]

I want to know more about this game. When I went to the site that you posted, I somehow couldn't get to look at the game.

[Sceptile_Master]

What is it you need help on?

[Yuoaman]

Well, umm, basically scripting and spriting....

[Sceptile_Master]

If you want I could teach you some basic ruby to get your started.

[Yuoaman]

GREAT!! I really need it, so, how'll we set it up, then??

[Sceptile_Master]

Right Just add me on MSN at e_sceptile_master@btinternet.com

Just keep in mind I'm not an expert in ruby but I have learnt a fair amount of the syntax.

[Toadsworth]

Good enough, great ideas. keep going, and ya will be rich(only if ya sell it)

[Yuoaman]

I don't think it's that good, and, sceptile master, I need a hotmail to add you to msn.

[ShadowKP1]

Okay read through the entire thread and this is good game so far.

Looking forward to more screen's!

[MistTribe]

Very Sweet. Good luck. I wonder if there's anyway I can help you.

[Yuoaman]

I have realized, because of what KM and Blizzy said, that I am one of those people who create a game simply to map, with almost no knowledge of game-making. I am sorry to those few who think this game has potential, but, to put it simply; it doesn't. The novelty has worn out.
This game will never measure up to others, I'm sorry to say this, but I give up.... I've been contemplating this for nearly a month now, and I've decided it was for the best, this game cannot go anywhere. I am not releasing this for someone to continue. Why? Because, you will be surprised at how little I've done with this game.
So, In short, I've decided to end this game in pursuit in higher ideas. Please, would a moderator close this for me. I may start this up again when I have more knowledge, but for now it is just a wannabe game comparing to the greats.... Goodbye....
