POKEMON: Dark Blaze

[pokemaster_jay]

Hey everyone. Welcome to my thread. You may all be wondering, darn newbs starting a game that will probably never finnish. Well please discard that thought, because I am not a newb to game creation. Enough blabering. Here is the game.

Region Name: Etheos
Program: RPG Maker 2003

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/the-story.gif
Its an ordinary day for our hero Kryt, except for the fact that he is getting his first Pokemon. You wander on over the the professors lab, where you and 2 other trainers will receive pokem on. (the other two you will cross paths with later on in the game.) As you receive your pokemon the lab is taken over by some mysterious trainers and you, your pokemon and the otherr two trainers are taken.
When you awake you are in a cell. You must escape, then find your pokemon and the other two trainers. During all this you must battle your way out with your new pokemon. Once you defeat the leader you escape and must head back to Oreon, which is the first town.
You are then given a new pokedex, which was just created by the professor. As you leave your mum gives you your HPD, or Hand-held Pokemon Device. This is used a lot throughout the game.
Then you must continue on your journey, battling trainers and GYM leaders. But during the game the mysterious kidnappers will appear, and there plan will surface. But in the end, it might be to late.

Thats the story, and sorry I cant tell you the secret at the end, cause that will spoil it.

[Pokemanz]

Looks like it will turn out to be a really cool game!

[PokeCreator_09]

I love the storyline and the maps. And it's good you didn't tell the whole storyline. If you did, it'd be like nintendo's games.lol.I like your message box too, it's original and that's what a good game needs. I'd like to see pics of the hover scooter.XD

Can you explain how the stamina bar is going to be used?

Thanks,
~PokeCreator_09~

[Minorthreat0987]

Wow this game actually looks really good ill have to keep and eye on it. good luck and id liek to see the hover scooter also and like to know wat the HPD is is it liek a pokegear? Good luck keep up the good work.

~Minorthreat~

[Amachi]

These are really good maps. They look so nice and ..... clean.

Also, with the stamina thingy, will it be affected by how much your carrying? What about time of the day? Are you gonna do that?

[freundmon]

the game looks really really nice. You have a good stroyline too. What are you making it in?

[Illusion Gaming]

well I just got to say good luck with this :)

[brendan mc]

look good pokemaster_jay its a cool game
the stamina bar makes it look more realistic well done mate!

[LegosJedi]

fruendmon, the way I know how it's being made is to look at the icon in the top of the screenshot. If it's a sword, like in these screens, it's RPG Maker 2003. If it looks like a sun type thing, it's RPG Maker XP.

Anyway, nice screens! How does everybody get their text boxes and texts to look so good?!?! It's annoying me cause I have text and textboxes that are total crud.

[Poke_DaviD]

This game looks good, and I like the idea of running system with Stamina.

[Blaze Dragon]

I like how this game is coming. What percent of it is finished (only for asking, not for rushing you)?

[The Dash]

If it looks like a sun type thing, it's RPG Maker 2003.



Actually if its a 'Sun type thing' its RMXP :paranoid:

[PokeCreator_09]

I, and probably everyone else, calls a common event that disables the RM2K3 text box then shows the picture of our text box. then we type in the message and enter spaces and lines to get it to fit into the text box.

For the font, I'm not sure. You may want to replace the RM2000 font in your systems folder to a pokemon ruby one or something similar.

[pokemaster_jay]

hey everyone, thanks for your comments. i shall answer all your questions about the game.

Can you explain how the stamina bar is going to be used?
The stamina bar appears when you RUN. so your press the select button and it appears, and as you run it goes down. and when it reaches the bottom you will stop running and then it will start going up again. it dosn't have to be full to run though.

wat the HPD is is it liek a pokegear?
The HPD (or Hand-held Pokemon Device) is similar to pokegear. Except for a few things that I have in mind, which i cannot say because i need to ask permission from other game creators because some are there ideas, i just want to expand on them and use them. so i am getting permission. But this is similar to pokegear, it has maps, town information, gym information etc.

Also, with the stamina thingy, will it be affected by how much your carrying? What about time of the day? Are you gonna do that?
No, i was thining about it but it would involve to much. sorry. maybe next time. :D

What are you making it in?
game is being made in rm2k3, sorry i thought i posted that on the front but i didnt.

What percent of it is finished (only for asking, not for rushing you)?
I aint totally sure yet. But i can tell you this: I have completed the mapping for the first town, your house and your room. I have scripted the people in the first town and i have started route one. I have also done the menu system.

Oh and everyone, dont worry bout calling me pokemaster_jay, just jay will be fine thanks. i'll be posting some more screens of the menu system soon. thanks.

EDIT:
Here is a screen of my menu:
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen05.png

[Poke_DaviD]

Wow, I really like your design for the MENU! Keep it up!

[Berino]

wow, this looks really good. You have a great idea and your mapping skills are great. the Hero's bedroom is the best I've ever seen. Keep it up. I want to see this finish

[freundmon]

On your Pokemon option for your menu, it's "check their stats".

[pokemaster_jay]

oh ok. and everyone. i am still working on the game. just havn't updated. i'll post some more screens and information soon. should be good.

and i fixed the spelling error freundmon. thanks.

[DarkDoom3000]

I was wondering how ou made the name appear on the menu, then i realised something

Can you name your character??

keep it up

[Rueik]

Will there be a demo released soon? This game looks so clean cut. It must run smothly I hoope you release a demo I want to play it! By the way has anybody even heard of a version of pokemon call "Pokemon Chaos Black" Your character in your pokemon game is the RIP of the main character in Chaos Black..I have the GBA ROM for my VBA adn am currently playing it as I type this its pretty cool except theres one messed up function that is not allownig me to save, other than that, what my piont is, theres some different adn cool pokemon in it like a pokemon called Floan, its a baby lion FIRE type pokemon thats the one I had selected.

[LegosJedi]

Actually if its a 'Sun type thing' its RMXP :paranoid:

Yeah, typo. You just start typing and get carried away and you type other things by mistake.

Anyway, This still is looking good! Very interesting storyline. I'm sort of doing something like that where the lab gets taken over.....I'd better not say anything more. I'll ruin the suprise. ;)

[pokemaster_jay]

aight. sorry bout the deleys, been busy with school. well i still havn't done much. still up to the first town, doing all the coding etc before moving on.

oh and i changed the running to bike at the start. so you get a bike for your first thing. it was easier to do. i have added my day/night system with weekly events. so now things are clocked based. i made it so that the seconds are quicker then normal. so it dosn't take long. anywho, here are some more screenshots for you:

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen06.png
My day/night system with the time on the sign. pretty neat.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen07.png
wow surfing at night. yes i have started my surfing system. :D

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen08.png
at the prof. lab, about to get your pokemon and the brilliant starting!!!!

well thats it atm. just hope you like those screens and i am still slowly working on it. thanks, all questions and comments welcome.

-jay

[DarkDoom3000]

keep it up

[QFred]

Awesome game, you are beggining very well your game... I hope you get it more developted soon!

[brendan mc]

if there are fakemon in this game here i made you this,http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/2203/linkeedpokes3he.png

[pokemaster_jay]

howdy peeps. thanks but no thanks, i am doing only pokemon from the pokemon games except one which i have already got. oh and if those screens r dark its cuz i use a laptop. and it looks good for me. but i'll make it lighter for everyone else. soz about that. i'll update them in a tick.

ok sorry about lack of updates but here is some more.

i havn't gotten round to doing much but i have continued the story and the battle system has been started.

now your first pokemon is growlithe. you all receive a pokemon that must be evolved by a stone of some description. once you were captured by team magma you were taken to a cave hideout. you must escape, and then you find a pokeball. you pick it up and its GROWLITHE! yay! then when you leave the cave where you found growlithe a team magma grunt apears and you get to put growlithe to the test. here is some screens of the battle system.

(note color might change but design should stay the same, any color changes or anything just tell me)

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen10.png
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen11.png

should have some more soon and a demo will be out soon. so be ready BETA testers.

oh and if anyone would like to share any tilesets with me. then please pm me. thanks a bunch.

[pokemaster_jay]

whats going on? this game isn't very popular. might have to shut progress off totally. but i do have some more stuff for those of you that may read it, which isn't likely cuz no one has posted for a while.

well here are some updates. i have coded in growlithe's moves, note that in the screens below growlithe shouldn't have leer or radiant heat. also, the damage is calculated and gastly will attack you.
there is no EXP yet, still working on the images but it should be up fairly soon. what else...
hmmm, here are the screenshots.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen12.png
yeh thats right, i escaped. now i am going to kick his ***! :D

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen13.png
the attack menu, you can re-order attacks in the pokemon status screen. and it tells you your PP an the attack type.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen14.png
omg its changed. this is what it looks like when its on leer. :D

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen15.png
fairly using ember on gastly. pretty good battle animations ay? :P

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/pokemon_db/screen16.png
ouch he attacked me and got a good hit. but i bet him anyway. ;)

please if you read this make the effort to give me your thoughts and opionions as all support is greatly apreciated.

thanks to everyone. hope you enjoy this game!!!

[PokeCreator_09]

Dont' do that. I think this game is comin along great.
As for the night, you should probably make the tint about half or 60% of what it is now.

To get your game going, try to post screens that show off you CMS, CBS, and maps. I love your CMS style, it's very original and wesome.

Keep up the work.

[pokemaster_jay]

yeh but thats the thing, cant you see the screens above or something? because i am showing off my best work (i think, if anyone can remember games like Pokemon: Erba which was a good hit, for those that want to no i created that), i put a lot of effort in designing the battle system...

Dont' do that. I think this game is comin along great.
thanks for that, that does lift my confidence a lot. :)

[PokeCreator_09]

What I'm saying is give hepeople a little variety. you have plenty of CBS pics up there, but I haven't seen near as many maps. AndI meant the inside of the CMS, like the bag. It just takes some time to get a project moving along sometimes. Trust me, even though I've been posting since I made my thread that I need a spriter, nobody's replied. Just hang in there.

[pokemaster_jay]

yeh thanks, and the reason i havn't posted any other town shots, or routes its cuz they are still under construction, but i'll do some now. thanks for the tips and the support.

AN EDIT:

i have been reading other posts and decided to give the users some customability. if you want to put a trainer in then please post your info like this:

Name: Jay
Taunt: What? A battle, OK then!
Jay Wins: What? I won? What a surprise!
Jay Loses: Yeah yeah don't rub it in.
Pokemon: Growlithe Lv: 26, Arcanine Lv: 35
Sprite: A link or picture that you want, incluing character set. If you don't have one i'll set one for you.

thanks again, and i look forward to seeing your ideas.

[PokeCreator_09]

Well I kinda figured that. If you need help with anything, just pm me and I'll try.

[Amachi]

Wow. This game looks heaps good. I hope you continue to progress well.

whats going on? this game isn't very popular. might have to shut progress off totally. but i do have some more stuff for those of you that may read it, which isn't likely cuz no one has posted for a while.
Well maybe wou should make a banner or something. But don't make a userbar, as it wouldn't advertise the amount of effort you have put in your game.

Good luck.

[Neo-Dragon]

Battle system looks really good. The design is really pretty to look at which is a huge bonus.
How many pokemon do you plan to put in the release of your game?

[hypersonicX]

od XD. I like Most of all The mapping

[pokemaster_jay]

sorry, i'm not terribly sure what you mean by 'release'. if you mean release as in first demo you should be able to get growlithe up to level 10 and be able to catch probably 2 other pokemon. if release means as in the final copy then i want to get most of the pokemon in there but it will be like most pokemon games, some pokemon will not be able to be caught.

so that question cannot be answered yet. but thanks for the comments!!!!

[ShadowKP1]

Intersetingh progress at this point. Your very good.

[Pokemanz]

Wow great game so far! So when is the beta going to be released for us beta testers?

[Illusion Gaming]

wow the battles look awesome!!keep up the good work!

[freundmon]

The CBS looks fantastic, keep up the good work
