[RMXP] Mystery Dungeon: Annex

Oi, Oi!

sv0175.png


THIS DOES NOT USE THE POKEMON ESSENTIALS STARTER KIT.

For those who came to this thread through an external link or banner:

This isn't a hack, it's a game being developed for RPG Maker XP, and will be available to play on Windows computers once completed.

For the simple reason that I suck at scripting, you will no longer be able to choose your Pokemon to play throughout the game as. Instead, you will assume the role of... Wait for it...
Meowth and Squirtle. They were always my team in the first two games. :)

Now, I'm going with a MD/HGSS look to this game, as I'm not using MD Overworlds; they're all from HGSS. This game will contain the first 251 Pokemon, as per my usual tastes... unless I make a sequel or something where I may add the other bajillion into.

This game features an advanced sideview battle system and message system.

SCREENSHOTS
Spoiler:

BUGS
None yet, fingers crossed!


SCRIPTERS OUT THERE:
I may have found a way to do the actual Mystery Dungeons.... but I need your help, and not even that much help in this case. You see, I've found the script, I just need it to work. It's actually Poccil's "RandomMap" script, which he's seemingly not supporting or hosting anymore. Here's the script for all who care to try using it:

If you could help me get that in the game, I would be much obliged, and of course you would have a place in the credits, or on the team :)

You might want to use a new picture for your menu there, as it displays sever 'nonexistent' Pokemon. :D

I know, that's why it says in red text "temporary" haha. If I find some nice good quality art like that but with only first and second gen Pokemon... I'll most likely replace it, but it will also probably only be temp until I can do my own art :D

Yeah, I have trouble reading colored text, I just can't see it unless I look for it. :\

Ahh, yeah... I have a different layout theme applied right now than most people though.

Also: Added a few more screenshots.

I was thinkin' about it... Meowth with Squirtle as the partner, as that was my team in the first two Mystery Dungeon games.

Hmm...... I'd like input though. I'd wanna see what people have to say. :D

Mainly because all the Overworlds are already ripped and it saves me a LOT of work... ^^;

There are probably MD RMXP Charsets out there, but most likely not the first 251, which is what I need. I'm using my brother's computer, and I don't have photoshop or fireworks, so it's not worth it. Unless I find a resource pack with them, then I'll be sticking with these. :)


EDIT: Battlebacks are fixed! :D Screenshots updated.

It isn't CNG's kit. T_T
Read up before you post.

Anyways, I think adding Mystery Dungeon is a dangerous idea, this strays away from the whole mystery dungeon theme of random caves, with battles taking place on the map(it was a rogue-like game) you made it more like an RPG. Just a thought.

Otherwise, the 3D effect isn't the greatest. I don't think you should use it, but if you must, change the rock formations to be like the ladder and stand up, it looks terrible otherwise, the stairs even look flat.
The ladder going down to a floor below looks bad also but I wouldn't know how to fix that.

I know it's not really a Mystery Dungeon game, because that would obviously require actual randomized dungeons. But, most people here haven't tried another Mystery Dungeon game, such as Izuna for the DS... so they think of this style of RPG. I still haven't come up with a name for it yet, but since I'm going for a theme like the Red and Blue Rescue teams, the name shall remain for now.

The rocks which stand up ARE standing up against the ground. The mountain things, if you mean that, cannot be done that way because they will literally stand on a Z axis like a stopsign stands against the ground in real life. The ladder to go down isn't hard to fix, I just started this less than 48 hours ago: I'll simply need to edit it so it's a transparent tile that hovers over the hole. I'm keeping the Mode7 because most games don't use it, and it's not all flat like the Pokemon Essentials Kit's perspective setting; this system allows for things to stand up.

I'm currently ripping and setting up some things from Red Rescue team as a tileset, with help from Mystery_Dungeon from The Spriters Resource for what he's already ripped.

Looks pretty good,
why dont you just name it "Pokemon Rescue Squad" or something along thoes lines.

Just another Rescue team game... for what I have planned, it's gonna work that way. I'm going to have it so you team up with other 2-man rescue teams in other towns as you travel around.

PLEASE HAVE GIBLE IN GAME!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, only the first 2 generations.

"First 251" does not include Gible, so idk why you'd ask him that...lol


Anyway, it feels like a pretty rare occasion to see a Mystery Dungeon game here. I haven't even played the official ones because I don't own a DS haha. Hope all goes well with it, good luck ^^
