Pokémon Gale • The Geor Adventure!

[blazefire]

lol naw i now thats way to hard and i dont think the game really needs it , i just think it would be cool to coollect card and look at them , you could have like booster packs at the pokemart. be cool if they like the idea if not ow well never hurts in mentioning

[~Nevermore~]

We've discussed it and decided it's a great idea, thanks for suggesting it. ^^ We're now working out what cards we should have and the things they can be used for in the game. Stay tuned!

[Glitchfinder]

You know, it is a good idea, and I'm glad you are including it. I had a similar idea for my Yu-Gi-Oh! Library (which is on hold due to the need to rebuild it from the ground up), in which you could actually use Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in a battle with effects similar to what they have in the game. (For example, the card Raigeki would be a very rare card that eliminates all opposing monsters, like in the real card game, while I wouldn't include Dark Hole, which, if added, would not only kill the opposing monsters, it would kill your party as well)

[blazefire]

great glad you guys liked the idea , cant wait to see how you guys implement it, lol hope it goes well, cant wait for the update with it

[Crazy Weavile]

Maybe have a sort of card market- cards can be sold, and, week-by-week, their prices change as they become more/less common.

[La_Branette]

Ah, great to see the thread isn't dying. For some reason it felt that Vavavoom had a more enthusiastic take on the game than you, Nevermore. But I guess it was probably because his posts were bigger in size. :D

[~Nevermore~]

XD Probably cos i'm new, i don't know anyone, i don't know how people act here. And i don't make such big posts cos vav had acess to maps because he made them, if i want maps i have to ask, and what i make takes up less space. And i'd like to do something i discussed with vav earlier last year... A fake designing contest. If i held that, the prize being your fake being sprited and put into the game, how mnay people would be interested? The drawing doesn't have to be perfect, just a good general idea.

[blazefire]

that would defently be fun a fake contest , lol wish i could creat fakes id love to see it in the game

[~Nevermore~]

Then it's settled. Anyone who wants to enter, send your deigns by pm to me. The fake must be one stage (not legend), can be any type, and can be drawn on paint or drawn by hand and scanned. The staff will judge, and the winner will be sprited, have stats drawn up, and be put into the game!

[xbtran]

I thikn the contest will build more hype for people. It seems like this has gotten pretty dead.. but glad to know you're still working on it! The evolutions look great by the way (the water one reminds me of Latios). I think that it would be great if everyone could see the entries, but the judges will decide the winner without revealing the winner, only to find out who won after beating the Elite Four (or the equivalent to them if not Elite Four is present) or after a certain quest.

[blazefire]

I do admit it would be nice to see the entrents, but thats up to you guys, be nice to see all what people can do

[La_Branette]

Wonderful! So by one stage, I'm assuming you mean just one pokemon? Ahehehe, I've been drawing fakemon for a while now...

[~Nevermore~]

Yes, just one pokemon. When i have a few more entries i'll set up a public photobucket account so you can see them ^^ Come on people, only one entry so far.
(sidenote: sprites can be entrered, but know that they'll be redone to match the game style [and also match their own new backsprite])

In development news, the demo's progressing well. We've decided on the team you can test in it (you'll have set pokemon in the demo like the DP preveiws) and the programming is going great too. We're also now making the introduction sequence, as people may be playing fairly soon ^^

You know, I just entered a sprite and types. Maybe because I know that my Pokemon wouldn't be accepted with the moves I chose for it. I like it, and I'm sure I'll like the other entries as well. Also, I've been waiting for quite a while for someone to comment on your name, ~Nevermore~. Why hasn't anyone noticed (and commented on) the classic Poe reference? I got it the first time VavaVoom mentioned you...

[~Nevermore~]

XD As one of my friends once said, i'm not referancing the raven, the raven was referancing me.

[~Nevermore~]

^^ need more contest entrants, people! the dex is alost done, so get designing, send you pictures to me, the other judges are dying to see!

[Tyler]

I think I might try and submit a design, see if i am any good at designing things for games.

[~Nevermore~]

Yay, more entrants! My inbox was full, sorry if anyone's sent something and i haven't replied to confirm it. PLease resend if this is the case ^^

News (of a not entirely game developmental sort): we now have a sugimori artist! That's right, the game's characters are being wonderfully done, and we'll oneday have a sugimori-style art dex!

[blazefire]

HEy guys just thought id check and see how things are going, oh yah i was wondering when well get to see the contest entrys

[~Nevermore~]

^^ i'll show the contest entries when they've been judged and the winners and runners up chosen. i'll also be revealing a new shadow or peice of information for each entry!
for the last entrant i got:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/shadow1.png
(for those who might have seen this: please don't spoil the surprise for everyone else ^^)

we also have more people on our team for art, trainers, all kinds of lovely things. welcome houndoomed, hark, jake, and criptexa!

[Houndoomed]

Hehe, I never thought before that I'd ever be part of Gale! Thanks so much for letting me on ^^

But there is some bad news, I already told Vav on MSN. I will not have the 'surprise' until after my game's demo has been released because I have so much other stuff to do, so it might be a week until you see it. Should be worth the wait though!

[Glitchfinder]

I'm just wondering, did you get my entry? I could always provide more info.

[~Nevermore~]

Yeah, i got your entry, you were the first one. It has plenty info, thanks ^^

[.Pichu-kun]

It says that all of the routes will be open tomorrow.
What does that mean?
Is it the end of the demo?

[j.a]

i only have one thing to say :


Go pilador!

[~Nevermore~]

Shinypkmnfan13, where does it say that?
I asked vav, and he doesn't know where you saw that either 0.o

^^ thankyou j.a.

[j.a]

piladore is awesome!!!!!!
it deserves my awesomenesses badge on my site im thinkin of makin

[j.a]

umm?... i guess.. {BUMP}
sorry for the double post just wanted to bump

[adamb241]

This is awesome, You should continue!

[blazefire]

hey was i know its been two weeks since like a last post and was just wondering if you guys are still cont the game .

[A.T.K.]

How long have u bin working on the game??? its really awesome :D games with new pokemon r allways the best best games

[Illiterate]

Very promising this is, love the starters. ♥

[Glitchfinder]

hey was i know its been two weeks since like a last post and was just wondering if you guys are still cont the game .

This thread can sometime go a while without posts. Usually, it just means that a lot of work is being done, and people don't just want to spam the thread with random comments.

[Vulpid]

Damn! Thats a sweet game right there! Im sure you put a LOT of effort into it. I can't wait to see it complete.

[Burned Soul]

I cant wait for the new screens hehe :P xD stay tuned :P

[Angel Haru]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[~Nevermore~]

long time no see, huh?
got some interesting stuff for you guys!
first, some screenshots!
vav's remade a lot of stuff to new higher standards, here's a few tasters:
this is the new purearth town.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/purearth.png

and here is alum valley, a great place to find elusive carapinch.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/AlumValley.png

here are three new pokemon! like vav, i've been trying my best to make my sprites better, and i have to say i really love these things final stages ^^ i'm gonna get them all on my team...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/iguaqua.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/chitret.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/caffle.png

and here's something extra special... prize for whoever can guess what it is! think back to the old games...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/finsiheddeer.gif

untill next time, keep supporting ^^

[simplynaruto]

Rapidash Evo! Or a new suicune. Also new starters?! WOW I likes this more.

[~Nevermore~]

^^ not new starters, no. just generall pokemon.
and no, not a rapidash evo either, though we were considering making one, but you're closer with the suicune thing...

[Infernal Contraption]

This is very nice! You really gave us an update, Nevermore. It would be very hard to have someone who left this community handing all his work to another person just to update, but it's going very well. Also, I'm liking the new Pokémon very much, it looks like you've added a new style. The only thing I don't really like is Caffle. It doesn't look like it's a Grass-Type Pokémon.

The maps look very good, as well. And the Pokémon animation... No idea. :x

By the way, those Pokémon look too much like starters. First of all, they are all the main types. Second, they have three evolutions. I think you should change that, it looks like you're making an entirely new game.

[Houndoomed]

I bet it's a combination of all 3, Suicune, Entai and Raikou. Or perhaps it is the more powerful dog legendary after the trio?

[~Nevermore~]

esmas: yeah, we're getting things done sowly bute surely. and i am trying a new style, more subdued colours and more complicated designs. i hope you like it ^^ and they look like starters because they were originaly designed to be starters, for my own dex. it's likely that the middle stages will get taken out of the fire and water lines, but will stay in the grass one as there are several three stage grass lines in red, which is what we're basing the type distributions on. caffle does look more grass type when it evolves, but it's never going to be a big flowery creature, it's based more on rotten trees with moss growing on it... you know, swampy stuff...
^^ and i've passed on that you like the maps to vav. he says thanks.
houndoomed: it's not a legendary dog, to do with the legendary dogs, or... a dog XD
just that a guess of something like suicune wasn't far off.

[Infernal Contraption]

Well, is it like a Shadow Suicune or something? We can't really guess anything, since there's so many things to guess... I can't wait to see the new sprites and some Pokémon evolution cuts, as well.

[~Nevermore~]

^^ nothing to do with suicune apart fro the fact that it's a legend, and it and suicune have played a similar role in some thing you'd see every time you turn the game on..

[Houndoomed]

Is it the running Pokemon sprite you see in the introduction of the game?

[OmegaGroudon]

Whoa! Fantastic!
I like those new pokemon.
And also the animation.
But I've no idea on the running pokemon...

[~Nevermore~]

*bells go off*
houndoomed wins ^^ the final piece of animation, the last thing you see on the intro, like the running suicune from crystal. well done, good guess. your prize is to reveal one of the final stages of the shadows i showed! which one would you like me to post, the final stage of caffle, chitret, or iguaqua?
^^ and thank you, omegagroudon.

[Infernal Contraption]

Well I thought you meant for us to pick what it was, not where it's going to be put in. -_-
Anyway, Houndoomed, I think you should pick one of the stages of Caffle, since it looks least like a Grass-Type Pokémon, and since Nevermore said that it will look more like a Grass-Type Pokémon as it evolves, I'm really curious about it.

Good work, NM.

[~Nevermore~]

i think all the final stages are equally good, so it really depends on what sort of pokemon you like to which one you might like when it's revealed. if you like big strong beast pokemon, you might like the final stage of iguaqua. if you like realistic and beautiful pokemon, catch chitret. and if you're on for the more creepy and abstract pokemon, caffle's a good choice ^^

[Houndoomed]

ZOMG! *mixed emotions*

Well, I'll think I'll go for the final stage of Caffle for the same reasons Esmas said. And anyway, it's my favourite of the three, so yeah, I'd like that one please :P

[~Nevermore~]

^^ swampede it is.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/kirbymew/swampede.png

[Infernal Contraption]

That's... that's... great! It looks very nice. I'm very impressed with what you can do with your sprites, Nevermore. It looks really creepy and, as you said, abstract. It looks like a swamp monster. By the way, what are those things that grow on the sides of its face, where its cheeks would be if it's a human?

[~Nevermore~]

what, it's eyes? or the green hanging moss stuff?
^^ and thanks, it is a swamp monster moose.

[Houndoomed]

I created a swamp monster moose D:
Well, er, sort of.

What can I say, it's awesome. I'd so have it on my team. Love the DP style too ^^
Excellent job.

Oh, and are these the new starters or something?

[~Nevermore~]

no, as i said before, they're just random pokemon in gale. they look like starters because they were deisgned to be my dex's starters, but for gale they'll most liely have their middle stages taken out or something.
^^ glad you like it though, i like it too. though the water one is my favourite.

[Glitchfinder]

Well, I'm certainly glad the game's back on track. The new Pokemon look great! Also, how is the creation contest coming along?

[HeavyOctillery]

I remember something my friend on another site recently said considering a pilot episode of a show he's on board for; basically, he said, "Pilot episodes of shows aren't meant to be perfect - they're just for showcasing.". The same can be held for game demos - one shouldn't always expect them to be flawless. Just my 2 cents on what everyone else is saying about the demo quality.

The Starters aren't bad; that Water one's final evo oughtta' look badass-as-hell.

EDIT: I just saw Swampede; um, what is Swamp Thing thinking, having a love-child with a moose? :P

[Glitchfinder]

I think it's time for another one of my "overall progress" posts. ^_^ Here we go!

Well, I must say that this game has certainly matured. I've been watching it from the very beginning, even if I didn't always post. Although it started as "just another cheap project" that nobody thought would last more than a month, with heavy criticism from all sides, it has become something exceptional. Although the first demo showed virtually nothing of skill, and was quite poorly done, the second demo has shown that project hasd become truly great. The tilesets started out as poor quality rips and scratches, and have evolved into something that, if not exactly like those of Diamond and Pearl, are good enough to merit use in any game. The pokemon sprites have not only become better, they have become truly exceptional, although sometimes a little strange.

Overally, I think that this game has progressed from a poorly made "look what I did!" demo into an extremely well made game that can vie for its own place in the Pokemon world.

[~Nevermore~]

heavy octillery: ^^ the water ones more friendly dolphin-dino-esque than badass. try fire.
and you just guessed my two sources of inspiration for the moose XD
glitchfinder: what a great post =D passed on all your comments to vav and our other team members, and thank you very much for your encouragement.
you've all been waiting way too long, so tonightwhen our programmer comes online, we're going to make a list of what we need to do to get the demo finsihed, and... well... get it done!

[Red Rain]

This is a really nice game coming on here, and you can really see that a lot of effort has gone into it. I do however, just have one critisism, Cowherb.

The Pokemon itself is nice, yet Grass Starters follow the Dino/Reptile trend, and I really feel that breaking the trend is bad news. A cow is nothing like a reptile. You might decide to leave it, with the game not being official, but it would be more authentic with a reptilian grass starter. Good luck on the project.

[~Nevermore~]

thanks for your opinion, but i think we're keeping cowherb's line. like you said, it's not an official game, and the starter 'trends' can be broken in a second, even in the official games. untill the fourth generation, all the water starters were herptiles. ^^ i'm sure you won't mind once you see the final stage.
trying to get some more screenshots from vav to show you, stay tuned!

[~Nevermore~]

sorry for double posting, but, oh, man. you guys are gonna go mental tomorrow. i've been having some words with our lovely programmer, and we've decided on something to show you, and he said he'll send me some screenshots tomorrow. ok, guys, what do you most want to see?

[~link smash~]

Poke-radar
Poke-tech
Flying is seen as you fly over cities routes
Anything crazy that will make me go apeshit happy.

[~Nevermore~]

i'm afraid our programmer is having comuter problems, so you're gonn have to wait a little while tll it's fixed.
^^ you didn't get it, darkcookie.
it's something you guys were asking about a while back...

[Vampire://Krimm]

Battle System maybe?

Woo, I have returned to further harass you guys! *haaarraaassss*

[~link smash~]

How back? I wanna see so I can be happy.

[Archayos]

I can't particularly say that I love this game. Aside from the story, which is well done, everything looks like it's undergone a 5 minute thought process. First off, the screenshots really put me off. I mean, 2D D/P graphics are useless. Also, your maps are bare with no sense of detail whatsoever. They seem to be annoying to navigate as well, seeing as how you've put so much grass all over the terrain.

I don't see any link to the second demo that everybody is talking about. And trust me, I'm good at looking. If somebody can point it out, I'll be grateful. Coming back to the point... I played the first demo. And it was horrible. Get a proofreader to check up your grammar too. Even a good game totally loses it's feel with bad grammar.

Coming to your tilesets, they're too bright. Like I said before, 2D D/P graphics DON'T look good. You'll really need to edit the crap outta them if you want to make them look decent. Also, are you going to bother yourself with correcting the grammatical errors in the first post? If you can't do it, get somebody else to proofread.

This is never the way I comment in game threads. You can see my other posts. But this game needs some major improvements, seriously. I'm only offering constructive crticism.

[Aqua Mudkip]

Aqua Mudkip: Besides updates of sprites, charsets and others, are there any screenshots lately? I wanna see more places from this game! Mapping and spriting from this game is good! And Kyledove's 2D D/P Tilesets can revolutionize the way the D/P tilesets are in 2D! (Sounds like a tongue twister! XD)

Trust me, everything is completely different from the 1st demo. The first demo was a "look what I did!". The new demo actually had a lot of effort.

[~Nevermore~]

vampire krimm got it!
^^ the programmer's gonna be back later today, he said he'll give me the screenshots then. don't worry, i'll bug him untill he does!
archayos: glitchfinder's right, the game's changed an aweful lot since the first demo. just check back a few pages to see some new screenshots ^^
and no, there's no second demo yet, we're working on it.

in other news, nevvy's learning sugi art! you'll see artwork of the demo fakes and some other preveiws on the game's website we're making to host the demos, information, and updates on!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Where are the screenshots? D:

*bumps*

Just trying to keep this thread active. Besides, I wouldn't want to see it dying off into the archived games w.o;

One thing about learning to make Sugi's: Is it the original style, the current style, or somewhere in between. (Look back at the original game art to see what I mean. The original Sugi's have been updated several times, each with a new style).

Also, are you ever going to have beta testers for your demo? Or are you doing that yourselves? Or, are you going to have the general populace beta test, by releaseing the demo in raw form?

Finally, I've been working on another forum, getting support for some scripts I'm developing. Once I get the current one straightened out, I'd like to show you, to see if you'd like to have them in the game. (I won't specify what the scripts are in this post, except to say that they are NOT specifically Pokemon related, and, when finished, will be able to be used in essentially any game) Nevermore, please PM me if you'd like to find out more, because I like this project enough that I want it to be the first to use the system I'm building.

[Yuoaman]

So Nevermore, anymore info about those screens you promised us a while ago?

[D R E ™]

I really think this game is dead.

No updates in like a month.

Fishy

O_o

[Yuoaman]

Okay... For whoever downed my rep for necro-posting, I didn't post in a topic over a month old.... The topic was inactive for about 25 days...

And on topic: I hope you are still working on this Nevermore, the project is looking great!

[D R E ™]

Somebody please do us all a favor and close this thread!!

[Glitchfinder]

Honestly, if you look through the history of this thread, you'll see that it has gone inavctive for longer periods of time than this. All it measn is that they've started working really hard on the game itself, and paying less attention to the thread. In fact, check the original post's original date, and you'll see that this thread has been around for longer than quite a few of the current project threads. And, honestly, you shouldn't have done anything to the guys rep. This forum's definition of "necroposting" is posting in topics that have gone at least a month without posts. (like most other forums. Also, this specific board has some modifications allowing thread creators/staff members to "revive" a thread if they are still working on the project, and it is not over a relatively undefined time limit) Not only only was the post before this thread less than a month old, TOMORROW is the day that it would have become a month old, and the DAY AFTER is when it would have become necroposting. Honestly, check posting dates instead of just defaming someone.

EDIT: I'm sorry if I sound somewhat cruel or condescending. That would be because I was very angry when I posted this. Not only is this a good project, I know for a fact that it is not dead, despite the outer appearances. Not only that, but if any member has been here long enough to know what necroposting is, they should know that this thread was not necroposted. Also, it has been "revived" several times in the past after periods of inactivity, during which the creators had been working hard on the game. Each time, they came up with awesome new information, juicy details that make us willing to wait for the next update, and, let's face it, great spriting.

[~Nevermore~]

Hi guys. Yes, we are still working on the game, we've just been having some trouble lately, mostly that our programmer currently has no acess to a computer. Which, as you can imagine, is a bit of a spanner in the works, hence why you haven't had a battle screenshot yet. He should hopefully have computer/internet back next month, so fingers crossed for then. Sit tight guys, we're not gonna let this game die ^^

[Yuoaman]

How do you get the tilesets and sprites.


Did you really need to make it so big? Anyway, I believe that Vavavoom created them himself...

And great news Nevermore! I can't wait for the next update!

[Douger]

Vavavoom, you've got your own game. Why does this not surprise me? lol ;)

Well, we'll be hanging on every word. Incidentally, I have some updates to the two scripts I showed you, if you would like to see. (Including fixing a MAJOR hole in one of them. The other is just for increased functionality)

Vavavoom, you've got your own game. Why does this not surprise me? lol ;)

Honestly, at least post a comment on the game itself. Addressing Vavavoom, who is no longer is an active member of the community, is about as effective as trying to talk to your long dead great-great aunt, twice removed. On the other hand, commenting on the project itself, or even on someone else's comment, is much more reasonable. (so long as it is actually constructive)

[Rennar]

This looks pretty decent!

Congrats on reviving a month old thread, next time read the rules.

Congrats on reviving a month old thread, next time read the rules.

Congratulations on minimodding.

As he said, no reviving old threads.
