Pokemon Islands

[Chazzy]

Right as wells as my Harry Potter GoF A New Year (which isn't dead) i've decided to start a Pokemon game named, Pokemon Islands.

Features:
CBS (in production !!!)
CMS (coming as soon as the CBS is done)
Pokegear (this is a maybe, as i don't see it that improtant !)
Map
2 regions (Zabarak the starting region, an another region to the west no name yet :D)
100 + new Pokemon ! (won't use any orginal ones)
More to come later

Story:
You live in the region of Zabarak, Zabarak is a region full of islands !, your first pokemon, a Cubrass is given to you by your dad, your dad is the towns catcher, its his resbonsiblity to catch new pokemon for beginners to use !, your dad leaves to goto one of the northern islands to catch rare pokemon, he gets there ok but while there the Waarata tribe (a gang like team rocket if you need an explantion) capture your farther and steal his pokemon, on discoving he knows where the rarest pokemon is allocated, they decide they will get it out of him, while doing a chore for Chazzy (who's basically like a rival) you find out the Waarata tribe have captured your farther, chazzy confirms this and you tell your mother, you say that you will go out and look for him, but chazzy tells you to get to each island your guna need a ticket from each one ! you travel accross the Zabarak region to find out when you collect all the badges and travel freely to the northern islands that your farther has been taken to the new region because the pokemon is allocated there !

More on this Later !!!!

Comments plz !

[DarkDoom3000]

Wow preety cool! I like storyline

The pokemon need a serious makeover!, they dont have much colour,shading or detail :dead:

the other screenies look great

PS: how did you make the sand prints?

keep it up!

[[_DarkDragon_]]

ye, the pokemon need to be resprited, they look like taken off RBY :P
everything else looks awesome.

[Bruno1440]

Yeah really good game! The CBS is awesome!Continue with the good work.And one more thing the question of Dark Doom how did you make the sand prints??Events?

[Chazzy]

Yeah for the sand prints i used loads and loads of events :D
\And yeah my pokemon arent to well constructed, but there not the final sprite !
But then again if anyone could help me make the sprite it will be appreciated !

More updates tomorrow, hopefully i'll have the bag system for the CBS started tomorrow !

[[_DarkDragon_]]

I can help making the sprite with the condition that the pokemon can be added to Chromatite's pokedex and pokemon list :P

[Datriot]

Hey, pretty goos stuff you've made so far.
I was also putting a sort of kidnapping-like thing in my game too. XD

[Chazzy]

Thanks for the comments !
Datriot: i didn't relise that anyone thought of an kidnapping idea :D, even though it does seem that it would be a common thing to add in a game :P

DarkDragon: I'd be proud for the new pokemon i mader to be in your pokedex and list, and i'm sure your spriting will be awesome, but before i let you do the sprite i think i should try again to resprite, just to see if i can get better, how many shades of colour should i use, like 3 or 2 colours dark, and light?

[[_DarkDragon_]]

depends how detailed you want the pokemon to be, try looking at a pokemon that has the same kind of detail of the one you are trying to make and see how many colors it uses for shading, then just adapt them to the colors you need to use. I really recommend the following software for spriting, it supports layers and antialiasing which helps a lot, it has all the tools you need AND it's free: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Editors/GraphicsGale.shtml

my spriting really improved since I started using that software, compared to it MS Paint is NOTHING :)

[Silon]

Very nice. Buuuttt... I suggest changing the flashback colours to a grey. Make it look old. Or try to mix in a clouddy panorama and a lightlightblue. I dunno. :P

[Chazzy]

Well i tried to redo a sprite, the lab fiore pokemon Puppire, i had a japanise version of Graphics Gale but the link you gave was a newer version so i downloaded it, hmmm what do you think, it's improved but is it good enough?

O and how do i change the pixels, because it was a bit to big can i change it now i;ve made the sprite?

here it is:

[[_DarkDragon_]]

mybe instead of making it scratch you could try and build it off parts of already made pokemon then recolor it to the color you want.

I didn't quite get your question though.

[Datriot]

Yeah it's a pretty common idea lol.
The new sprite is a bit better nice job.

[Chazzy]

I just relised the question i asked didn't make ,much sense :P, i was tired while typing it don't mind me :P

I just wanted to know is it possible for me to change the size of the pic, like from 30 X 30 to 15 X 15 (just an example :D)

Not many updates today...

P.s. [_DarkDragon_] you can use all the pokemon that are in mine in Chromatite's pokedex and pokemon list, thats all fine, you could help spriting if you wanted....

[Datriot]

You can simply do that in paint, just highlight the Pokémon and then right-click and click on Stretch/Skew, then stretch it by 50% on both horizontal and vertical.
Simple! :P

[[_DarkDragon_]]

ye, you can change the size but you will have to correct the imperfections.

[Silon]

Looks great. <3<3 <n00b>K33p up t}{a g00d wr0k!!111 </n00b>

[Chazzy]

Ok, i've re sprited the pokemon, i'll post the screen of um in battle, as for the CBS just try it out getting rid off bugs and stuff then i'll start on the switching system, then the item and well run is simple, then i'll work on catching ...

Well heres the screen:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/CBSnewpokemon.jpg

[[_DarkDragon_]]

looks better but the back sprite looks like a mouse, not a dog. I dunno if you want it to look like a mouse or a dog, I might sprite it differently for it to appear in chromatite though, I can show you the final product later if you want.

[Chazzy]

well actually its not meant to look like either a dog or a rat :P lopl i can't sprite lion cubs well :S, if i give you a descriptionm of each pokemon and you sprite it?

or should i try to resprite it again :P?

[[_DarkDragon_]]

lol, try and sprite it again but you can still gimme the descriptions :P

[Chazzy]

Right slow in progress, basically because i've been out and about, and i got work tomorrow so not too much to update, i've started the switching system heres a preview of what its going to looks like, basically this is only the beginning not the final product !

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/CBSswitching.jpg

And yes Dark i will give you descriptions and resprite this Cubrass later sometime

[[_DarkDragon_]]

awesome, can'T wait to see more, if you give me the descriptions I can try spriting it xD

[Datriot]

I like it so far, good work.

[BlackD]

Nice work!
Keep it, and this will be very good game!

[Bruno1440]

Yeah good work keep it up!

[Chazzy]

Thanks for the comments, [_DarkDragon_] i've sent you some descriptions :P sry for the delay

And as for my switching system it would go fine if my picture of the pokemon name would move :P, i moved it up loads and it stayed in the same place when i tested it :S

i dunno what the problem is with it :S but i'm not giving up untill i get it too work so really no updates yet.....

[Hiroe]

Very nice. Keep going and this will be great.

[[_DarkDragon_]]

ye, I saw them. I'll try to sprite them when I have time :)

[DarkDoom3000]

nice
hope you fix it

keep it up!

[phunboy]

I like the stories premise being a kidnap as its different but with such a premise it wouldn't make exactly alot of sense for him to stop the search for his father to go and get badges and what not. Now if you made it necessary for him to get badges to go further as he needs a ticket to go to each island then it make a bit more sense.

As for the sprites, there a lil rough but as your making them from scratch there decent.

[Chazzy]

right now i've had a long break from coding the CBS (i got the switching pic for the names to move :P such a simple thing it was tht took me awhile to do :P) in tht break i've been playin games like CSS and u know stuff like tht, and i managed to map up to the fifth city (which is on the second island, p.s i havent done all the caves just main 1s)
i got some pics of them 1 in game on of the fifth city, which if you want to know is the most advanced city in the region (doesn't mean its the biggest !)

well heres the screens:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/town2.jpg
Toowaa city, by far the smallest city that you will come across, yet it holds your first gym, and a pokecenter and mart !

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/town3.jpg
Ratar-kar, the two mountains that are apart are of said to be one, a long time ago, but legend has it the flying beast (as locals call it) destroyed them partly, which seperated them...

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/town4.jpg
Zaba Town, This town was built over a forest, it is a isolated town which is very beautiful and calm, locals say that they were once blessed by a creature (pokemon) which was huge and green...

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/town5.jpg
Jazina City, By far the most advanced city, they have come up with buildings and methods to help there towns folks, ranging from the huge houses, marts, pokecenters, old folks home, and even there huge building that is been told to be a information center that has seemed to grown !

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/knightchaz/oldfolkshome.jpg
Old folks home, they fought and lived before us, they made the world how it is today, so why shouldn't we help them now?

I'll start re coding the cbs soon so more updates later

P.s: Darkdragon you done them sprites ? no rush :P

[[_DarkDragon_]]

no, I haven't. I've been busy with school. I'll try and do them tonight hopefully :P

[Datriot]
