Hello dear members of the PC Community. My name is Vavavoom and today I'm going to present you guys a project called Pokémon Gale. This post is devided by sections: Introduction, Pokémon Gale, Supporter Banners, and the last but least, the Credits.
~Beware, on this forum, I'm using the Pocket Monster Theme. So, it's possible that you see a green background behind pictures.

Introduction

Finally, a new generation. Pokémon Gale is a project that started during February 2007. What's interesting about this project is that many cool stuff will appear. One of them is The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Graphics. I thought
that using the Fire Red/Leaf Green was a bit boring. So, I chose to make this game in the Diamond/Pearl graphics. Since this is a " New Generation " of Pokémon, I thought that introducing the " Next Generation " would be a great idea. For now,
we currently have only one demo. It is not that great, we know. Many things got changed since February. What we can tell about the second demo, is that it's short. " Short? But we want a long demo! "... Short doesn't always mean boring. It will be a wonderful
demo with features like capturing Pokemon, battling Pokémon, battling Trainers, etc. For now, if you want to download the first demo:

Link to download the first demo:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/24zukn
(Extract files with a program called " WinZip ", save the files in a specific folder, and open the " Game " file) Be sure to have RPG Maker XP install on your PC
Now, we will tell many things about the project. Enjoy. ~

Storyline:

Long ago, when the world was young, an eternal Pokémon existed... the Gale Pokémon, Hatenebres. It had unspeakable power, and legends say that controlled by a tyrant, it nearly destroyed the world...
None who know the location of that eternal Pokémon - the one which controls the very winds - remain. But they all know that he is hunting the routes of the Geor Region.
However, now, with an ancient tablet telling a riddle for the location of Hatenebres, the head of the Geor Region government is searching for this great Pokémon, and it's a race against time to stop him. But, 3 mysterious beast appear during your adventure and you start thinking that they are a clue of the story about Hatenebres...

The Geor Region:

The Geor region is based on a real region of Japan called Chugoku. It's attach to the region of Johto. It's at the east of Hoenn.

It doesn't work it opens up and closes.

[shadow rayquaza]

Do you have rpg maker xp installed? Anyway its pretty good but when you go upstairs in one of the houses it traps you up there.

[Neo-Dragon]

Just played the demo. Wasn't impressed. I could tell it was really rushed. It was to show your diamond/pearl graphics- which were bad. All of the NPCs were not alligned right, they were really high up and the hero was really low down compared to them. Various tiles were ugly- eg. the corners of the water. A demo should showcase what you can do with the program and should show the player what to expect from your game. Thats why its called a demo- demo is short for "demonstration." Talking to people shoulded be a "good feature" for your game lol.
Hopefully demo 2 will be a big improvement.
Sorry if that seemed mean, but was my experience with your game.

[foofatron]

Yes I have it but the games not working how do I open it up?

Thanks for that critic. I had a lot of problems with RPG maker XP. That is why it is really bugy. On Demo#2, you will see a REALLY big difference. And remember, it was a *first time* program...

[foofatron]

This is great your warps are off like the one upstairs takes you back to the same room.I can help with your warps and conections.

Oyay how come when you press B a team comes up and it says cleric fighter and stuff?Is this just a do over of another game?

[Vampire://Krimm]

the trees don't mesh together like they should.

I think the D/P resources of yours aren't the best =P

[foofatron]

You have to change the original tiles but you should have those tiles for that.

Those are really big bugs, I know. And I know how it works, it is just that my comp have various problems.

[The Dash]

Whoa those houses are way out of proportion..

[foofatron]

you mine as well use a diffrent tileset cause yours is messed up.

[~Azura]

If I'm not wrong, this is your fourth thread for showing a game here... Do you plan to even finish one of these?

[cuttyflam]

This game is nice but i dont have win zip can you please post the zip file. And keep up the good work.

[OmegaGroudon]

The demo is terrible! Many bug appear in the demo...

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeah, I know it is terrible!:badsmile:

[~Azura]

So what do you plan to do about it?

And if you, please, could answer my question...

[Vavavoom ♣]

So what do you plan to do about it?

And if you, please, could answer my question...

Okay. Pokemon Gale will be finished (As you may saw, the first demo is out). So yes, that game will be finished. I can't work well if Crazy Weaville and I are the only staff people. We need more people to help the crew.

[~Azura]

I have another question... ^^

In you Pokemon Gale Version banner, what font did you use to make the "Gale Version"? I've seen that font around in some banners, but I can't find it anywhere...

[Vavavoom ♣]

I didn't made that banner. Blennix did it. And I put that banner in my sigs in various forums: PHO

[Dawson]

Yeah, I know it is terrible!:badsmile:
Out of curiosity..If you knew your demo was terrible, why release it to the public?

[Vavavoom ♣]

Out of curiosity..If you knew your demo was terrible, why release it to the public?

I was talking about all the bugs....;)

[~Azura]

Being the one that matters most, the first impression wasn't good. I hope it gets better... really.

[foofatron]

Why do you always relese worthless demos?None of your demos are good.I would like to join this.I can make your demos fun and not some walk around get stuck in house junk.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Why do you always relese worthless demos?None of your demos are good.I would like to join this.I can make your demos fun and not some walk around get stuck in house junk.

Well now, it have be improved.

[The Dash]

But you've started like 4 games and you've always had the same stuff said to you, you just aren't trying man.

[Vavavoom ♣]

But you've started like 4 games and you've always had the same stuff said to you, you just aren't trying man.

Hehe, you are totally wrong boy. The first thread of Pokemon Dark Moon is old. The second one is new. The Kusarno journeys is not MY fan game. And Pokemon Gale is totally new.

...... And what are you assuming when you said " you just aren't trying man."?

[~Azura]

I guess what Dash is trying to say is that you've been making game threads for sometime now, and releasing walk-around demos. First time you did that, people ranted on you and you used the nice excuse of being a beginner.

However, time has past and you're still a beginner (even for basic eventing). Don't you think you could try to improve more?
I mean, what's the point in having this so said cool DP graphics if you can't use them in a proper game?

That's why I think "you're not trying, man"

Please, take my critics in a good way. Everyone can improve, and if you try at least a bit more you could be better than you're now.

[The Dash]

I sorry me no speak well the language of Engrish ;[
...Yeah that was exactly what I was trying to say xD

[Vavavoom ♣]

Oh... I feel bad about the demo. All of you are disapointed... Now, I will do something. Tell me what you want to see in the next demo.

What is 100% that it will be in is:
- Battle Pokemon
- Battle Trainers
- Better Over World
- Rauwolfia Town, Sandy Town, Losanelle City & Pastral City
- More routes
- One small cave

:classic: lalallalala... Vav!

[foofatron]

Demo 2 should have been demo 1

[Vavavoom ♣]

Okay. Demo #2 is a new one that will be released later.

[foofatron]

Okay. Demo #2 is a new one that will be released later.

You shouldn't have relesed demo 1.You should have relesed demo 2 in the thread not 1.

[Vampire://Krimm]

You shouldn't have relesed demo 1.You should have relesed demo 2 in the thread not 1.

>_> Okay, chill out and give the guy some breathing space. The demo isn't the best, but its probably more than most people here can come up with. Sure, I'm sure he can do better, but its simply a test demo >_> Nothings perfect, and its not something people should be constantly pointing out

[Vavavoom ♣]

:cool: Thanks Krimm!

This was the first time that I was programming. I am happy for myself. Of course, Pokemon Gale will not look llike the first demo. Anyway, the new Lookin Map is done!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/LookinMap.png

[BlackRainbow*]

wow the region map is great
hope that you will change those crappy houses soon

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well, since no one likes them, I guess I will have to replace them.

[Alistair]

Vav, you don't have to change them. Just spruce them up and tile them right. (If you need some help, PM me.)

[Vavavoom ♣]

Eh, they are tiled. If when you come out of a house in Rauwolfia Town, and you land on another tile, it is normal. I just put the event badly...

[Ruyin]

Um... how many games have you put on these forums now?

[foofatron]

Hehe, you are totally wrong boy. The first thread of Pokemon Dark Moon is old. The second one is new. The Kusarno journeys is not MY fan game. And Pokemon Gale is totally new.

...... And what are you assuming when you said " you just aren't trying man."?


There is your answer omly 2 games.

[Ruyin]

No, I think you'll find it's 3....

[Vavavoom ♣]

That wasn't my game. I just showcase it for someone else.:classic:

[The Dash]

I DESPISE D/P's Neon grass! DESPISSSEEEEE.

[DiamondDust]

I think the Pixels are a bit off in your first post.

[Ruyin]

Lol, Dash you are not alone man.

[foofatron]

Vavavant did you quit or somthing?You haven't been here in sometime.

[Vavavoom ♣]

=__= =__= =__= =__= =__=

I didn't quit... I am working on new maps for the demo. I am currently tileing new graphics.

[foofatron]

Use kyledoves there much better than D/P.Look:

[Vavavoom ♣]

I don't really like his tiles. I like more D/P Graphics.

[foofatron]

You must be insane look at this and tell me if these tiles are not good.Ignore the coners that was a mapping error I made.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well... Is that an area? You need to to isole with trees...

[The Dash]

Kyledove's graphics are GODLIKE.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Kyledove's graphics are GODLIKE.

That is your opinion. I have my own opinion *Sigh*

[cuttyflam]

Hey vavant um... your right klyedoves graphics are good in other peoples eye, they arent in mine ethir but how do you get you hands on diamond and pearl grephics for Xp? anyways this game is awsome and i hope you will be able to finish it even thou there are alot of people who hate this game, i think with the right plot there will be a chance for this game too be great, but anyways continue this game.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks for your comment! :classic: The team will do the best for the game!!

[cuttyflam]

Your welcome just tryining to help and build up your self esteem after many have brought it down.

[Crazy Weavile]

I really think it has potential if you learn how to use RMXP. If you'll send me a copy of the project, I think I could set up a good tutorial. I wrote the story because I think you have potential as a developer. But you need to know what you're doing.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well yes, I need to learn. Anyway, Losanelle City map is done!: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/LosanelleCityMap.png

[foofatron]

OMG!I love that huge bilding!Geat houses alot of improvment from those junky houses.

[Vampire://Krimm]

your trees are spaced far much too apart. They were tiled that way to be overlaped to looks good. The grass is too limey, it doesnt look like the original D/P

[foofatron]

Its bette than the super bright neon grass.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yah, for the trees, I need help. For the graphics, every thing is 100% ripped from screenshots... So we can't say it doesn't look like D/P.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Yes, I can say it doesnt look like D/P. There ripped, from messed up from Jpeg images. Like the gym, and the houses. The grass and trees are also in Jpeg

[MarineAngemon]

i think that the graphics look quite good. never played or seen the demo, as i dont have RMXP. the wild pokemon grass look more flatter than anything else, and the region map looks ok also. so overall: ok. good job.

[cuttyflam]

omg your game is awsoeme i love it... o my gosh that town is outraguosly awsome you must be an expert marvel at your talents... lol well this game is awsome i luv the new sprites keep on keepin on and finsh this awsome game and keep updateing please, your game rocks!:D

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks a lot for those comment people!

Now, be amazed by the new Lookin Region Map:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/LOOKINBIG-1.png

Here is a sneak peack of Route 701!
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/Route701.png

[Vampire://Krimm]

Vavavant, your maps are in need of work. The tree thickness ends at the middle line, the bushy outskirts are passable by a Player, meaning you have many un-needed pathways. If you want, I can show you what I mean.

-A Grass that matches the gravel and trees
-correct tree elignment
-better grass tiles

[Midnight Beat]

Well from what I've read you have been taking alot of crap about this game. And what some of these people have seem to have forgotten is that you plan to relese the final version in 08 or 09. You have alot of time to perfect this game and some people have overlooked that.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Exacly. The game will be released in 2008-2009. And I agree with you, some people had overlooked that.

[PokeCreator_09]

Okay, first let me say I haven't played the demo yet cause I've been busy, but I plan to. But from what I've seen from the screenshots the game needs alot of work.

Pace yourself. Instead of releasing a demo 2 with all of that stuff, focus on making everything in the first demo perfect. I mean, come on, If you have the battle system 100% done, It'll take you about two weeks to finish it. Maybe start a battle system, show one or two battles, but don't rush it.

Also, the biggest problem I'd say are the graphics. If you need help I can help you with them. Are you using self-ripped images or D-mans? If I can ever get passed the little intro at the start of the rom, I plan on ripping all the stuff myself, but that might take a while.

Okay... I already have the rom on an emulator. It works but it is way to slow. A least 1 min to make 3 steps. For the battle system, I need a person that knows how to script. Right now, I focusing on Demo #2. I am not remaking the first one because I want to show people that the demo #2 will be better.
If you want to help that game, go ahead. If you have MSN, you can add me at: gangsta_love_@hotmail.com

:classic:

[Vampire://Krimm]

I agree with PokeCreator. If you want, I can get you excellent tree tiles, correct grass, and decent buildings, that includes a better Mart

[Vavavoom ♣]

Nah, it's okay! My friend already made some better trees. I prefer to use my own stuff (That I ripped). But, you can also clean stuff. You can see a difference now. BUT, I wont edit the grass. Route 701:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/ABEC.png

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thats fine. Its not my project. But your going to have to put time and dedication into creation. Like that means you have to be a perfectionist. Which you aren't. Atleast and try to edit the edges of the dirt paths, the color doesnt even match your grass.

Oh, and can we rate your maps? I mean this seriously, like so you can have feedback on your maps

[Vavavoom ♣]

Of course you can rate my maps!:badsmile:

[Minorthreat0987]

i agree with a lot of people, this game has potential but you will have to work hard.

one thing i noticed was some of your tiles are tiled wrong. for example this is how the d/p tree should be tiled:

http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/2843/dptreemk4.png (http://imageshack.us)
that will erase those "pathways" between the trees.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Ah, good work, Minorthreat. Thats the correct tiling.

Now, I'm NOT rating your tiles, if I did, I would rate them a 2/10. lol. I'm rating your maps. Losanelle City is pretty good, but it too small to be a City. Honestly if you want to give it the title as a City, add a pond or two, and a flower shop or something. Other than that the overall placement is decent, but it has a lot of random openings. My overall rating for Losanelle City is 7/10 for a lack of City-ness

Route 701 is decent, but bare. No ponds, ridges, nothing exciting for the Player to see while treking through. Commonly found in beginning routes or small travel routes. 8/10

[Vavavoom ♣]

Umm... Kamon, you don't need to talk *Royaly* like that... Losanelle city is like Petalburg City. There is not much!

[Vampire://Krimm]

I'm not talking Royaly. I'm rating a map =P

Yes, I know its like Petalburg, but Cities like that were turned into towns in DP. I'm just saying its small, thats all. Though a 7 is still my final ratings. It just feels empty lol

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/9841/treeus1.png
credit to Minorthreat for the trees

heres an example of tree colaborations. This shows D/P colaboration, and my style.

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm only trying to help you make your game to achieve success.

[Vavavoom ♣]

If I would use the one you make all around my cities, it will appear like they are surrounded by a forest.

[Vampire://Krimm]

>_> Riiiight, okay. Thats not a point at all. I think it looks more nature like, instead of perfect row after row of trees which looks plain and un-nature like

But thats completely your decision. Rememeber, don't hold a grudge on me, I'm simply rating your stuff =P

[Vavavoom ♣]

My friend did that for me:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/DPTREES.png
I am using that for Rauwolfia town. Dunno if I should use it for EVERY single land map.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hmmm, I like it! Use it, cherish it lol. It looks good! a mix between DP and zigzag, wilderness lol. You should use it ;)

If you ever need me to clean up some houses or make you some buildings, just ask. I'll post an example in a minute, I need some food first lol

[Vavavoom ♣]

You see... Your game have unique tiles, and I don't want to take them.

[Vampire://Krimm]

What I showed you aren't my unique tiles, its a style. Either way, I like the one your friend did

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well I have new screenshots of the up-comming demo:

[Vampire://Krimm]

looking better. The ponds look a little square and un natural lol. But keep up the good work! I like Route 702 from what I've seen

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks. Route 702 will be really good. It is also where the Professor Alder's lab is.

[Vampire://Krimm]

I revamped the houses in Losanelle City if you want it. It took 5 minutes lol

[Vavavoom ♣]

I like it! But I don't know if I will use it...

[Vampire://Krimm]

thats fine by me =P I just made it look more decent rather than ripped quality. If anything, I'll probably use it

[Vavavoom ♣]

If I use it, I will have to remake ALL the houses/buildings that I had cleaned up.

[Minorthreat0987]

the screens actually look pretty good. I like them. One thing i have to say is, the paths and houses in Losanelle City aren't clean, they're all JPEGish and it really takes away from the quality of the map, you should clean it up some. Also the message window should be more POKeMONish verse the default RMXP one. Overall though i like the way this game is coming along. It has an extreme amount of potental.

Good Luck mate.

[MarineAngemon]

mate, try not use jpeg files. it kinda ruins the picture quality by making it blur in most places. try and use GIF as long as it doesnt make the picture look weird but use PNG as it keeps the picture quality like a BMP, and uses less space than a BMP. use PNG if you feel comfy with it.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Next time, PNG. Now, new screenshots are released!!

Great job! I'm looking forward to playing this! This looks exactly like D/P, well, close ^^

[Vampire://Krimm]

If I use it, I will have to remake ALL the houses/buildings that I had cleaned up.

Your later screenshots are OK but still need work...lots of work. Like the mountaineous route, it would be good, but it D/P the grass is just the grass, theres not grass below it. Yours looks fake like that. The house I made is in decent format. By revamping ALL of your buildings, you could have a decent fangame. But by being lazy, and just keeping them ugly Jpeg, well, thats your choice, not mine

Great job! I'm looking forward to playing this! This looks exactly like D/P, well, close ^^

No comment >_>

two problems with that. He saves in Jpeg, and the quality previously isn't the best because there all ripped from D/P screenshots

[Vavavoom ♣]

... About the grass on the rocks, your right. I put it there just for a period of time. I will only put that grass patch without '' grass under it ''. Did you saw the new screens?

[Vampire://Krimm]

I saw the new screens. Flaroma Town, or Sublime Town looks too open o_O The regular buildings in Canderlia City look messed up around the shading, but are fine. The houses again, are Jpeged to death. And South Route's grass is messed up =P

thats my say lol

Nice update dude keep up wit da good work...

[Dawson]

There are waaay too many flowers in the first screen, it looks way too cluttered. Second screen looks nice though, although it is slightly too grid-like.

[Vampire://Krimm]

lol, your gonna hate Sonoo Town in Sinnoh =P

But they look a lot better. Now my complaints will be about the Jpeg pathways....What? I have to have something to complain about. Clean the pathways! Clear the Jpeg! We want pathways! lolol jk

[Vavavoom ♣]

There are waaay too many flowers in the first screen, it looks way too cluttered. Second screen looks nice though, although it is slightly too grid-like.

Okay... Did you saw Diamond & Pearl screenshots? You may had notice that Sonoo Town (As Kamon said), is a huge town with flowers, including a flowerfield... Flaroma town is only a huge town with few houses. There is no flower field. But there is a gym in the northern of the town.

:D

english freak >_>

Anyway, I'd like to see the regular grid sized map of Lookin to follow the screenshots and maps your showing. Do you know where I can find it?

Lol... yeh I ment '' saw ''... Hehe! It isn't done yet. What I can show you is the full of one town.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Ooo! I've found out about something else to complain about! The small trees you have everywhere, well, the shading at the bottom is too square, and breaks the trees off to look un natural lol

[Vavavoom ♣]

Oh my god... Maybe we should get more positive about this game. There is not only the bad side you know... And the shading is a minor detail. I can arrange that quickly.

[~Azura]

Since you're working mainly with graphics, if the visual is not good, the game itself is not good...
And yes, I agree. There must be a good side in this game [somewhere].

[Vavavoom ♣]

New news! Every maps for the second demo is done!

[Vampire://Krimm]

With those weird shaded trees o_o lol

I'm here to point out all of the problems lolol jk

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well it's not bad pointing the problems. But saying them in EVERY post you make... You know what I mean?... Anyway, look! A new screenshot!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/11.png

[Midnight Beat]

The screen shot looks good but wouldn't it be see not saw?

[KurowaSan]

Hi vavavant, nice screens.
Just wanted to point the lack of shadows, but it looks good.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeah the shadows! hehe... 2 BRAN NEW screenshots!!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/13.png

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/12.png

[cuttyflam]

I luv da screens keep up the good work...

[Vampire://Krimm]

AH! I go away for a few days, and you release those? I LOVE the last two screenies, and the mountain town is great, but yeah, it should be "see" not "saw"

Either way, looks good ^_^ Oh, and hey KurowaSan, you should post your work here (not in this thread lol) *cough Kamon cough*

[Vavavoom ♣]

During the next month (April & May), I am going to release screenshots of the the rain climatic area in Lookin. Since April and May are the months where the rain come most of the time, I though it would be an area. Now, I have new news about that rainny area!

In that rainny area, there is a rain forest called' Raish Forest ''. There is also a small town called '' Raifall Town ''. It is connect to Route 712 and Route 713. In that part of Lookin, it's always rainning. But idoesn't mean that it's rainning that there is only water-type Pokemon!

Raifall Town Preview:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/14.png

That town contains a Gym. The leader is Hydra, a water-type Leader.


Route 712 Preview:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/15.png

That route is quite similar to Route 713. It's one of the way to go to Borval City.

[Vampire://Krimm]

lol, looks like a cute little town ^_^

I'm liking your routes/towns more and more. BTW, you should point out where all these towns are on the map of Lookin lol.

Oh, and just some addjustment you might want to know: There are no Drifblim in the mountain town, only Drifloon. But I guess they may have been talking about a Pokemon elsewhere or something =P

BTW, also a heads up, Hydra is a cool name, and I know it relates to Hydro aka Water, but Hydra is an ancient myth of an evil water demon. lololol. Evil Water type leader! RUN!!!

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeh, the Lookin Region Map will come here really soon.

I mix the names by accident. The town where you see Drifloom is called '' Sweewind Town ''. It's not in a mountain really, it's more on a hill with rocks and cliffs.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Oh, well...yeah =P

But still, looking good ^_^ If you need any support, or some tiles, I'm always here. I'm full of ideas, and sense WeatherGen is almost completely planned out (sense the fuse), I can't randomly add ideas lol

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well now, are biggest problem is the scriptiing part (Doing Pokemon Battles etc). That will be hard. But you can always give us new ideas. For now, I am doing Hicon Town, a snowy town that is in the north-west of the Lookin Region.

* Surprise * Look at Parker's house on Route 713!
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/16.png

[Crazy Weavile]

Just to prove I AM doing something... I've been toying with the idea of a legendary trio comprised of a sword-using statue, a spear-using statue and an axe-using statue.. They'd be a Fire/Steel type, Ghost/Steel type, and a Psychic/Steel type.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hmm, thats a cool idea, Weavile, but Fire doesnt really come into a balance with Gohst and Psychic

[Vavavoom ♣]

Weaville, haven't we decide Ghost, Dark and Psychic? Anyway...

*** Quick view in Minerhole Town ***

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/17.png

[Vampire://Krimm]

that path looks un natural =P I can send you another version of it, but other that that, It looks pretty cool

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeah I know. I need to take off the darker brown on the sides.

[Vampire://Krimm]

The dots in the gravel stand out too much

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeah, your right.

(Passing to another subject)

In Pokemon Gale, there will be new HMs. One of them will be Heabutt. This HM will let you do many things with the environnemnt. Here is a small screenshot of how Heabutt can help:

-You can get Pokemon while using heabutt in special trees-
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/18.png

This is one of the 10 choice with the HM, Headbutt.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Cool. But are you having 10 gyms or something?

[Vavavoom ♣]

10 gyms? No lol. Wher have 8 gyms. Here are their locations and their orders:

Losanelle City - Normal-type Gym
Pastral City - Fighting-type Gym
Minerhole Town - Rock-type Gym
Flaroma Town - Grass-type Gym
Sweewind Town - Flying-type Gym
Borval City - Dark-type Gym *
Raifall Town - Water-type Gym
Hicon Town - Ice-type Gym

* You have the choice to go to Raifall Town Gym or Borval City Gym.

[KurowaSan]

The game is developing nicely, good work vav^^
I think he said about having more gyms because each gym bagde allows you to use a HM outside battle.
Oh, and Krimm, I don't think I can post my work, everything is being used by WeatherGen XDD

[sandslash]

this game is cool...i've 2 question:
water and ice gym...isn't better a fire gym?
how many pokemon will be catchable?

[Vavavoom ♣]

this game is cool...i've 2 question:
water and ice gym...isn't better a fire gym?
how many pokemon will be catchable?

Here is the anwsers:

1. We may change the types of the gyms. Also, some people told me that there wher too many towns and not a lot of cities. This will change. Locations will also change. But although, remember in the Kanto Region? There was Grass & Poison-type, two types that are pretty much similar.

2. Of course, not all of the Pokemon will be catchable. We are adding new Pokemon too. Other Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn & Sinnoh will be catchable in Lookin too. Since Lookin is right under Sinnoh, more Pokemon from Sinnoh will be catchable.

[Vampire://Krimm]

So, no new Pokemon, right?

[Vavavoom ♣]

So, no new Pokemon, right?

Oh! Well yes (eventually, since the legendary is a new Pokemon)! But if only we find a really good spriter.

[Midnight Beat]

Oh! Well yes (eventually, since the legendary is a new Pokemon)! But if only we find a really good spriter.

Pleez wait until you get a good spriter, because I've seen some games in the past that have really good plots and towns but terrible new pokemon and it ruins the whole game.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Pleez wait until you get a good spriter, because I've seen some games in the past that have really good plots and towns but terrible new pokemon and it ruins the whole game.

Yeh. Pokemon Gale seach for quality sprites. Not '' Sprites '' that are made in Paint.

[Vampire://Krimm]

loooooooooooooooool

That was a n0000bish reply, Vavavant. Most of the best spriters use Paint. You can still use sprites made on paint. Most of your tiles are made on paint. =_="

[Vavavoom ♣]

Hehe... I wrote '' Sprites '' not sprite. When I put those little things: '', it means that they aren't sprites.

[foofatron]

Hey I fond some awsome D/P tiles made by Alexmad.I think you should consider using these.Like the trees and grass.Look:

[Crazy Weavile]

Weaville, haven't we decide Ghost, Dark and Psychic? Anyway...

*** Quick view in Minerhole Town ***

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/17.png

It'll work. Anyway, who else thinks that the Grass starter should be a pterodactyl?

[ASHYLEGS]

Man, I've read through this whole thread and seen nothing but criticism, but you've overcome this/ It's looking nice, but I have a question:
What's your websites URL?

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks for all of your comment dear PC Members! I got 2 new surprise people!

******* Spoilers *******


http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/Gale1.png

^ That screenshot represent Route 703's first exit. You will enter in Pastral City, the beautifull city, by going left.

[HackinJohn]

I like your game no matter what anyone says or thinks. I could never do this work. You're amazing.

[Alistair]

Actually, it's not that hard.

Anyway, it's looking better Vav. Touch up on the gym a little.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks again for those nice comment guys! Prepare for a huge surprise in the next weeks...

New screen:

[UnitRico]

Wow Vavavant, i like the game, and of course that there gonna be new pokés. plz pm me if you think i can help :P cya, UnitRico

[Crazy Weavile]

Um... I'd like to offer a tip for realism:

DON'T let the player leave the center of the screen. I use gatehouses, but it has to LOOK like one map.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well... Don't really know what yo u mean by center... Anyway, Pokemon Gale is gettin' really good. We are currently programming, Bruno & I, the Poke-Look, a system similar to the Poke-Watch, but only useable in Lookin. Other than that, take a look at those:

[Alistair]

Looking better, but the cut tree in screenshot 1 is still JPEGish. Also, screenshot 2, the hero is a couple of pixels higher than the girl. In that same screenshot, try varying the flour colors more. In screenshot 3, try using a different fence. Also, touch up on the dirt path.

[Crazy Weavile]

By centered, I mean you're ALWAYS in the very center of the screen. Also, you should get Blizzy's SK as a starting point for the scripts.

[Vavavoom ♣]

By centered, I mean you're ALWAYS in the very center of the screen. Also, you should get Blizzy's SK as a starting point for the scripts.

I still don't understand when your saying '' you're ALWAYS in the very center of the screen. ''... But anyway, the screenshots can't be taken in an other position.

[foofatron]

What are you using to take the picture?A ditital camera take awsome pictures and they don't have to be centered.Looks great.

[cuttyflam]

-Footie-No you just use pssrq above the insert key it takes a screenie off das screen then you edit it in paint there fore now you have a screenshot yay... anyways those pics are awsome and by centered vav, they mean like in the gba games how you will nevert see your character at the top right hand corner and stuff hes always in the middle of the screen well thats what there trying to explain to you i guess. But that was a needed update please continue workin on thius game I hope it gets complete looking forward for the next demo so keep up the good work..

[blazefire]

looks nice , i cant see the link though for the 2nd demo or has it not been released

[Dragoon1283]

This looks like a good game. I wish you luck with it.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks for comments!

As everybody else knows, the places is Sinnoh had be revealed (English). You may notice that Sonoo Town, is known as Floaroma Town. A town in our game is called Flaroma Town. I decided that this would be the name! Now,I din't know that Sonno Town would be called Floaroma Town! This is really weird. I strongly think that Game Freak had took the name that I had chose for my game. Can you imagine? Is that an coinsidance? See:..

Sinnoh:

Floaroma Town

Lookin:

Flaroma Town (Notice that I come up with this name WAY before the enlish Sinnoh names got released!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I will add bran new screenshots today or tomorrow. Here is the game's news:

Battle System: Almost completed!

Option Menu: Almost completed!

Maps for the second Demo: Completed

Music/Sound for the second Demo: Completed

Story System (I just said system) for the second demo: Almost completed!

Sprites for the second Demo: Completed

Here is the names for the HMs in Lookin:

Enjoy! And come back here for more updates later-on!

[Crazy Weavile]

Hmm... You know, since the enemy is the government, you need to assign a capital to the region.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Exacly. Sorincott City, the huge metropolis in the north-west of the region, will be the capital.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Is Route 702 right after Bloosy Town (Crecent Town)? It looks pretty good, so far. Keep up the good work

[DarkDoom3000]

wow nice progress

keep it up bro'

[Vavavoom ♣]

Thanks for those nice comments!

Have a look to Camplains Town:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/CamplainsTown.png

[Crazy Weavile]

Benn thinking about this... should Hurakaos' dungeon be inside a tornado?

[sth hijack]

looks nice but can u put it as a rom

[The Dash]

No he can't..
This is the Games Development forum. There is no Rom Hacking here.

[DarkDoom3000]

not bad, mabye make the paths a lttle more randomized or something,

anyway keep it up!

[Vavavoom ♣]

Mk, thanks for the advice. Here is Route 711:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/Route711.png

The player will surrfured in that tall grass (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

[The Dash]

Looking good, perhaps add a bit more shape to the grass? It looks a bit blocky.

[Blennix]

The mountain range to ye Right hand bottom corner looks a bit weird

[Krishnan]

Yeah like Blennix said the mountain looks weird.

[Vavavoom ♣]

I don't think so though. Here is 3 new screenshots:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/2-1.png

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/1-1.png

[Crazy Weavile]

I've decided what the starters should be.
Grass: Flowair (Flower+Air), Pterodactyl Pokemon, Grass/Flying
Fire: Mamoflare (Mammoth+Flare), Mammoth Pokemon, Fire/Ice
Water: Newtrain (Newt+Train), Aggressive Newt Pokemon, Water/Fighting.
I'll have concept art by tomorrow.

[Krishnan]

It's up to you, I guess we are just people who complain?

[Vavavoom ♣]

It's normal to people to complain. Saturday, I will release some screenshots of Neosula City, the coast town. It may reminds you Sunnyshore City, in Sinnoh...

[UnitRico]

It's normal to people to complain. Saturday, I will release some screenshots of Neosula City, the coast town. It may reminds you Sunnyshore City, in Sinnoh...

So...are you trying to say that Nintendo will steal most of your cities :D? Not bad if u ask me though. and I like all the new updates and i will check saturday for the screens of Sunnyshore Neosula City.

Cya, UnitRico

Look's Nice. But maybe you could try to fix the grass. But still.. Nice Game!

[Vavavoom ♣]

Um, the grass is fine. It isn't bright if it's what your thinking. New screens:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/9-1.png

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/10-1.png

[Lihinel]

The mapping is good, but some of the tiles are a bit ugly and need some corrections. (Like those pixels at the middle of the left/right boarder of the puddles)

Um, the grass is fine. It isn't bright if it's what your thinking.
Maybe, but it seems like it was ripped from some low quality screenshots. espacialy those 4 pixel large wannabe leafs.

[Vavavoom ♣]

#1. The mini pixels on the mud will stay like that because it makes the mud going out. You know what I mean? If it's all clean, it will give the appearence that it isn't dirty.

#2. Oh! That grass had not been ripped from screenshots. It a home-made grass.

[Lihinel]

#1. The mini pixels on the mud will stay like that because it makes the mud going out. You know what I mean? If it's all clean, it will give the appearence that it isn't dirty.


Ok, if the grass was meant to look like this that i guess its ok, but about point #1:

I don't mean those large mud areas, sorry about that, my english isn't all that great.

I made red circles around the area i meant and a blue cycle around what it should imho look like.
But it shouldnt be that linear all the way, so if you use larger areas with this tile some changes are ok, but since this part is only 1 picel long it looks a bit out of place.

[Charizard_Ruler]

Looks like a nice game of yours. Cool screenshots. I'm sure there will be somehow to make the game stand out from the rom hacks, good luck.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Nice Trainer Tip lol. Looks good, keep up the work

[Crazy Weavile]

Starters are late, but here. They need decent art, though. Also, is Hurakaos found on Mt. Zenith, or somewhere you've yet to reveal?

[bwooduhs]

i like how your using the diamond and pearl graphics

[Brock]

Your mapping needs slight improvement, you want to try and condense things as much as possible to prevent yourself from having huge empty spaces.

You’re using RMXP I presume? Have you visited the forum for that? I can PM you the link if you like? You can get a lot of great help and positive criticism from there to help you with this project.


Over all its looking good though, keep it up.

[sa1amandra]

This game seems great, can't wait for the second demo!

[The Dash]

Why do I get the feeling that Vava told you to sign up and comment on his game?

[Vavavoom ♣]

He talked to me on MSN. He told me that he will register as a new account because he had an error message while logging in. His name is Gabriel (I kinda know him). And no, I don't ask others to register and reply here.


=_='

[Magestia]

Between the Diamond and Pearl graphics, or the fact that is being made on RMXP, it seems like an evened out project. I especially like the Diamond and Pearl graphics though lol I'm jealous!

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeh. As everybody knows, in USA and Canada, Pkmn DP has come out. Now, this week, you wont see much stuff (Some problems are going around in the program)

Soo... Next week, I will show you new stuff from Pokemon Gale.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Why arent you on MSN? >_>

And Dash, why would it matter if he did anyway?

[omarfr]

Gwah! The tilesets are a bit bright!

[sa1amandra]

um Vava..next time dun say my name out loud... =.=

[Vavavoom ♣]

(Finally, PC Forum works!)

Here is new screenshots feature the REAL grass of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl!

[~Azura]

Heeey you finally got something nice in there to show us... I really like the quality of the images now, so much better.

The right side of the bushes seem a little bit too straight to me tho.

~Azura.

[Crazy Weavile]

Hmm... Some Elite Four suggestions...

Goddard: A sadistic Ghost-user... Perhaps uses a new Ghost based on the so-called "shadow people" phonomona seen in some haunted houses?

Anne: An old-fashioned grandmotherly type, she uses Normal Pokemon. I'd suggest a new Normal tiger (Persian evo?) for THIS crazy cat lady.

I'll do more later.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well here is some new screenshots:

[blazefire]

[nadjim]

[Vavavoom ♣]

I can't answer this question. We are not sure about it. Here is a screen of the marsh/rainy city of Lookin, Raynergie City:

EDIT: Other screenshot removed do to some mistakes :)

[blazefire]

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well, as in the Sinnoh Region, yes, the mud will slow you down and you will be stuck.

Now... I have a huge surprise for you guys! Here is the beautiful map of the Lookin Region!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Alright, if I were you, I would straighten up the English. "Did you heard?" Thats past tense, the sentence is present, it should be, "Did you hear?"

[Vavavoom ♣]

Yeah, I know! I suck in English...

In Pokemon Gale we are using the Diamond/Pearl Music/Sounds and I don't want to use them 100% like in Diamond/Pearl. I would like to edit them a little. So I am searching for someone that could help me. :) If you know a good program to edit them, PM me.

Other than that, Pokemon Gale is going really fine.

[Canine Munch]

Looking good Vavavoom ^_^

[Vavavoom ♣]

People, have a look at the first page (First reply)! I add new stuff!!

[Lmayonaise]

This looks savagely disgusting.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well I guess that everybody has an opinion.

[Canine Munch]

This looks savagely disgusting.

Lmayonaise? Can I see you're fan game please? Whats that? You don't have one? Well then, You're actually find Vavavoom has put a lot of hard work into this game so instead of saying his game is disgusting why don't you tell him how he can inprove the game?

~Canine Munch

[Vampire://Krimm]

Don't ever say that Vav. You've taken enough time and patience to create a game, if someone it stupid enough to say that, then ignore them.

This looks savagely disgusting.

Then what shall I call you...savagely rude? Lets try rating, and being polite and offer suggestions. Bashing someone with your sentence is what I call pure stupidity and arrogance.

Its called manners, get some

[Vavavoom ♣]

I guess! Anyway, here is a shot on Route 204:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/30.png

[brendan mc]

dude, looking loads better now well done! ^^

[UnitRico]

Nice new pics vavavoom, I'll download the second demo :P. I hope I can defeat some gyms, hehehe.
nvm...I don't even know how to download the first and the second isn't online :(. if i want to donwload the first one, i must download something like my pictures.rar and i cant unzip .rar files :(

[Vavavoom ♣]

^.^ Thanks for the comments! I have a huge news for you guys. Pokemon Gale will have new Pokemon! Have a look to a shadow of a Pokemon:


http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/La.png

[Waudby]

I guess! Anyway, here is a shot on Route 204:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/30.png

I know this is being really picky butI have noticed something from the screenshots, I'm not sure if anyone else has but it looks to me like your character could do with being moved one pixel to the right as this picture doesnt look like he seemlessly fits in with the world.

By the looks of it the player is out of line with the grass, take a look;

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/XWaudbyX/out.png

Hope you don't think i'm just being picky

Just thought i'd point it out.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Oh yah, thanks for showing me this little mistake. :)

[Waudby]

Thats okay. I like to help out :)

anyways, the screens are still lookign great.

keep up the good work.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Hehe, thanks! ^.^

I have a small update but an important one.

Did you guys remember that shadow? : http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/La.png

Well today, I am revealing in completly: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/LarveigeBug.png

Name: Larveige
Type: Bug

And now, stay around the area because Friday, it's the big day. 3 new shadows will be appearing in the thread.

Enjoy:)

[UnitRico]

Umm...if there are new Pokémon, will they ALL be new, because I saw in the screens the names Bonsly and Miltank???

[Waudby]

I'm pretty sure that he is putting in most, if not all the pokemon from the previous games as well, this is due to the fact that create a comepletly new repitiore of pokemon would take far too long and progress for the rest of the game would hault.

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well yeah. Various Pokemon of every region will be in Lookin. :)

[Vavavoom ♣]

As I said, today (it was supposed to be yesterday) will be revealed 3 new shadows. Have a look and guess until next Friday!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/vavavant/Shadows.png

Regarding the game in general, it's going well. Oh yah, and thanks for Novoni, a contributar for the game. Also, Lilfurman became a staff member. He will help me make some Pokemon sprite. Expect in the next days the Badge Case!
