In my opinion, the area is very blocky, with most sections being square or rectangular - there are far too many right angles. This makes it somewhat boring to play and look at, so just try to be more free in your designs. Instead of having a straight line of trees, move some up or down by a tile to give some variation. Also, if I were playing and had to walk the entire height of the map (along the left) in straight line, I would get a little bit tired of it. Hope this helps

Thanks for the critic NikNaks i'll try to improve the map like you said so that i can meet your expectations.

Mimibud would look a little.. too detailed for a starter with more.. details. I think it's fine. ;

Add more shading and highlighting, etc? Er.. that.. I think that's fine, but, I am considering using more shades, if that's what you mean. Thank you for the C+C, tho.

Uh... most starters are pretty detailed. I think the main problem with it is that its body is just a single shade of green, so it looks a bit plain. Although it's similar to Chikorita in that respect, Chikorita has a few details to break up the plainness - for example, its eyes are red instead of green, it has a string of buds around its neck, and it has white toes. By contrast, Mimibud's details are on its head and tail, leaving the rest of the body looking plain. Maybe you could give it little claws and a pattern on its belly or something?
I had the same problem when I designed my starters. For example, Dipleaf's old design was a bit like your Mimibud design; when I saw Mimibud's sprite, it reminded me of my old Dipleaf sprite. If I can add detail to my starters and make them look better, you should be able to too :)

I get what you mean now. Sorry to deny so many things like that.
The reason I think Mimibud may look "too detailed" is because of my view of my own style. Mimibud came into my head without much, and that's how it appeared. I can't think of Mimibud with more details - I'm not sure why.. Right now I'm just thinking of it with spines around it's neck - the view of that - it doesn't seem to be in my range of style. I'm sorry to sound stubborn. Though I really agree that many of my Pokémon are just.. plain.. For some reason, I can't get out of that weird habit! :/

hey guys.
I made a new sprite for the game. It's pre-evo may be used to make a banner! (I should make it with the starters, though..)

[Alont]

You fakemon look great, but numbers 033, 034, and 035 look more like digimon than pokemon

[Nyu~♥!]

That's because Ken Sugimori isn't working for the game. XD Either way it can't always look like a pokemon.
(and if it were a REAL digimon, it's 3rd level would probably have arms made of guns, no kidding... XD)

Guys, don't be afraid to comment. XD
I'm trying to see if I can post a video of a battle or something soon..

[Freak A]

well here's a pokemon that'll love to walk with you in opal's amity square


revealing the amity square cutie number:1 Mimibud

[GoOnRed]

Looks awesome.
Good luck for your project.:D

[Nyu~♥!]

Thanks..
The berry bakery is under way~~
I really need to post vids.. <_<

~-FIRST OFFICIAL VIDEO NOW ADDED-~

[Freak A]

Well it looks like you added the OWs but wht was that bitmap thing i have to fix.

[cybermouse8]

Tried PMing Nyu about music help but not sure if it got through...was showing 0 messages in my sent items folder.

In brief: I would like to help with the music for this game. I compose and remix music, or whatever. I'd post a URL here if it weren't for the 15-post minimum. Anyway, email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to reply with the URL so you can check out my stuff.

[Professor W.]

Hello! I recently viewed the video, and I must say that it does look promising. However, "breeded" should be "bred." Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with the video, and I look forward to playing the game.

Squirtle!

Thank you. I just can't wait to show off the new Amity Square, though. It's going to be filled with a couple minigames, too. It shouldn't take too long to finish, either.
The "breeded" thing, yes, I noticed that, just like saying "brang".. XD English is quite a language.

Freak, you and I need to find a new name for Amity Square.. hmm.. Maybe we should call it the Game Park? :/
What should we name it, guys?

OH YES, ABOUT THE DEMO,
It will be released after we finish the first island in the game. But who knows how long that will take..

[Nyu~♥!]

'ellooooooo..
I am currently working on the Berry Bakery(well, pretty much, Maruno's doing it for us.. so, erm.. THANKS SO MUCH MARUNO!!) and Amity Square. I have no ideas for what to name the new Amity Square. But, it's coming along fine.. just that dependent scripts are so.. wiggly. :/ Ah well. I'm just starting to add minigames into it. But I'm not sure which minigames to add except scavenger hunts and maybe a swimming race or something.

[Nyu~♥!]

Some please post! D:

I added new fakemon:
051 Extdentum
052 Sheeba
053 Goaba
054 Llaba
055 Flant
056 Flameen
057 Flantiment
058 Pre-evoHearth
059 EvoHearth
060 Hearth
061 PoisonDragon

This game isn't dead, is it? This was looking good...

[Freak A]

the game aint dead th viewers are.

[Vanitas~]

SORRY! My computer was acting up that day, and I didn't see any updates through PC. Those Pokemon (especially the dragon) are adorable! I'm not sure what's going on with the ants and anteater, because they share a color scheme and similar names, but how an ant could evolve into an anteater is just a disturbing and weird concept.

Flant evovles into a queen ant if it's female at a certain level - Flantiment is like Flant/Flameen's enemy, much like Seviper and Zangoose. Get it?

lol, Freak, every time i let you do an announcement you mislead people. XD
We have at least 38 more fakes to be designed for the whole game..
About 50 Fakemon will be in the demo.. (that's pretty much half)
And yes, 1 map. err.. right? XD
Anyway, don't get too excited, we won't be able to fit any of the features into that place. Unless I think something up.


BUT!!!

Do any of you have a mic? If so, you have a chance of becoming an Official Alpha and Beta Tester to Pokémon Opal..
What I need is for you to tell me. I need some people with mics(of course, I don't have one) to make Pokémon cries for Opal. Why? The demo is almost ready!!!
Don't know how, right? Go here plz! I really need halp. D:
btw, about 50 Pkmn will be in the demo.. and one gym..
After beating the gym, you'll just have to wait. You won't be able to go anywhere else cuz ur strandehd! :D
Thank you.

[Nyu~♥!]

We're not dead.
Wanna to wish you all a happy new year.
XD

More fakes have been designed, and some sprites are under way.
Also, the first gym leader has been designed!

Her name is Sandy. XD
