Pokémon: Odyssey

[Cronos]

good game but why start with jhoto starters and not kanto,hoenn or sinnoh starters.

[Lollypop]

Good luck And hope you recover faster! ( This is also better than most hacks in the showcase! ) And to cuttyflam: Heatren is right! Whoever asked for the demo savagely is selfish. You know who you are! Waudby is still recovering! Anyways good luck.

I don't mind them being selfish, i did promise them a demo but they will need to wait

There is a reason for this...

The Everglade region, was rich with pokemon from other regions, however there was a servere flood and a lot of the pokemon from the region either fled or drowned.

Now, 10 years later on, the Pokemon numbers are slowly returning to what they used to be. However there are still some pokémon which haven't returned.

The Johto starters are in this list amongst a few more from the other regions, part of the task in this game will be to help bring back the pokemon which are missing, you will be able to travel to the other regions (hopefully - i may limit this to one official region and limitless amounts of my own made regions) to bring back certain pokemon for breeding, after this pokemon is brought back and a certain amount of time has passed, you will see them appear in routes and seas in the Everglade region.

Most of the Pokémon you will be asked to go and bring back will be at the very beginning of their evolution chain, and as such, their evolutions will only be available after bringing them back.
Players will not be required to 'capture' these Pokémon but rather they will be given to the player and sent back to the Everglade region from some important people.
There are also some these people who you will need to approach in the Everglade region as they leave very secluded and so they may have Pokémon which fled the region that you can use to bring back.

Ideas

I am thinking about adding a few new mini games to the game perhaps some sort of racing mini game, and maybe a few others.

I was also thinking of ridding the game of Pokémon Contests, I personally would favour something new over these as I never really took much interested in them in the official games.
Because I am using Sphere, I could always make an add on pack that featured a new town where contests could take place.

On this same note, there will be places on the game which you will not be able to visit until I release the updated package, this will not alter your game playing experience at all, it will still be possible to finish the game, however it will add new areas to the game after the player has completed the game as I always thought that once you had seen the ending credits the game play value went sharply down.

Update

Now I know I promise a demo soon, I think I still have about 50posts till the time frame I set myself runs out.
You will be glad to know that I have now very nearly completed the Items system.

Next Week, or maybe Friday of this week, a demo candidate will be sent to a friend of mine to test out, depending on the outcome of this test, the demo will or will not be classed as "ready" for release.
This however does not mean I will just release the demo there and then. Depending on the work I can get done between now and then, they may be a new area or new feature added in.

Screenshots

Just to show off the Bag system, I know that the graphics aren't right for the background, I have the correct ones now made however.

Sorry for the Wall of Text in this post, but I'm glad that I've sorted a few things out have perhaps given a few things for people to discuss.

[Neo-Dragon]

Nice backstory there. Thanks for sharing it man.
Looking forward to the demo alot, so hopefully it will be bug free and ready to post.

[Waudby]

Thanks Neo appreciate the support.

Hopefully people will take the time to read the back story that I have written.

There will be a big emphasise on it in the game so it's best to understand.

I am going to rewrite the story for the demo, it won't involved much changing because a lot of it is exclusive of other parts, and then they all come together,

I will post an update version as soon as it's ready.

Any ideas that people would like to see put in? I'm open for suggestions.

[Xyrin]

It's so sweet so how do you play whens the relese?

[Dialga450]

Hey i like it that you combined a mixture of the regions together. You know Sinnoh, Kanto, Johto, and Hoen. Looks really good. Also i know this is a stupid question but, how do you play hacks?

[PokemonPlatnum]

This is not a hack,Read the Rules

[Waudby]

I've updated the first post, it now has a new look.

I have posted a very extensive back story which gives out a few hints to what the game might contain in the first storyline.

Well, post you comments about it.

[Waudby]

Sorry to double post but...

Come on people post, stop being lazy and read the story that I have written in the first post.

Also if the thread gets to 270 posts, I will reveal a special extra I have included into the demo for all you G/S/C fans

[Xyrin]

9 more posts cool!!! Well I love it if I can help I will (if you're taking help)

[D R E ™]

Come on guys do you want this demo or not, well I do . Anyways this game came along since I laid my eyes on it and I plan on enjoying the demo for it.

8 MORE POSTS YAY

[Neo-Dragon]

I guess this could be classed as spam and I don't normally post to help with post goals, but I want the demo too god damn it lol!
Come on people. Show your support for this game.

[ryushin5]

I like th backstory i really do and i never really liked pokemon contests too because they were also boring you just pick a move and you just watch them so that it got really boring for me and yes were almost there show some support people

[Waudby]

Guys (and girls) the demo will be released after the 300th post, or as close to as I can possibly get to it.

Something that would speed up the process would be if people could get me D/P NPC sprites in rm2k3 format, as I still have to add in all the NPC's to fill ou tthe game

The demo storyline is finished now, I'm now adding some finishing touches to it though.

There battle system has a few kinks that I want to iron out first as well.

But I do have a suprise for people after the 270th post.

[DamianLeonhart]

I liked the back story, it is much deeper than many of the other stories in games. I cant remember if I read this or not... but during your adventure will the Pokemon you capture be used to help repopulate the region, or will there be another method of "capturing" them? Will the story reveal what happened to both the stone and the shard of the stone? Thats all I have for now, good luck getting this completed.

Oh My God, how long to we have to wait,this just sucks.

So now we need to get to 300, thats gonna take forever.

And if you want resources so badly then got to:

http://charas-project.net/resources....search=pokemon

and look around.

[Waudby]

I've always stated the demo would be released at the 300th post, it was a realistic target I set myself.

Initially it was 200, but I got carried away with mapping and features, so over all it benefits you to wait

Since people are complaining about the wait, maybe a screenshot will cheer people up.

This was going to be the suprise at the 270th post but I thought I'd be nice since I'm making you wait for the demo.

Update.



That's right, it's back. I have spent today coding the major part of the Bug Catching Contest. It will take place every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday just like in G/S/C.

I've had fun creating this little added bonus. I hope it keeps people happy.
Would people like me to add Pinsir and Scyther for all time values?

I can also say that the formula for calculating the winner is pretty close to that of the old version.

[D R E ™]

OK that was alright for and update but 1! screen shot omg.

lol, jkjk

I love it, I guess I was being sour before but now i'm A OK.

Please everybody support this thread.

[Waudby]

Update 2.



Since there was a small complaint of the number of screenshots, here's something else I'm now working on. Still a work in progress, but atleast you know I'm not being lazy.



Aren't you guys lucky, I have another screenshot for you.
Comments and crits please :D

[Eeveon]

Hey, kool update!
Why does that building have those black and red squares?
Didn't insert the right building yet?

[Xyrin]

I love it this will be so cool.

[simplynaruto]

Oho nice.But you can store pokemon yourself? I mean in your own storage?

[Waudby]

No, Bill's PC will be used for pokemon storage, I only just released that the screens look liek they follow on but they dont.

NOTE: the second new screenshot is after selecting the Bill's PC option.

[Yuoaman]

Those are great Waudby, I truly cannot wait to play this, great job!
