[Demo] Pokémon Litharreon

Saving Raven · #1 August 17th, 2012, 03:12 PM

Intro:
Hello! I am Saving Raven (you can call me JB), and this is my game-in-development!
I've played Pokémon games for as long as I can remember and I just had to make my own!
This is a game of my own brilliant design! There may be some confusion, but this is the Original Pokémon X!
However, the Pokémon franchise decided to piss my off and choose to make Gen-6 "Pokemon X and Y" As a result, I needed to change the name.
And thus, Pokémon Litharreon was born!

Story:
Back in the year of 1956 in Kanto, before the Great Pokémon War, the land was vastly different. The land was full of dense forests, unexplored territory, and vast mountain ranges waiting to be mined. Kanto was found by a great man who left the only known land when he was at the age of 17. The expedition was lead by this man and 50 other people. Within months they found Kanto in the year 1921. By 1950 the region had been populated and explored to an extent, but there were many areas still unexplored; however there was a Pokémon Gym Challenge placed upon trainers of the region who thought they were strong enough to take down all 16 of the region’s strongest trainers. . 6 years later the story unfolds…

You, the Hero, have died…spoiler. However, a mysterious Organization has been tinkering with the laws of nature and created technology with the help of a mad scientist that can harness the energy of a mysterious Pokémon. With such technology, you were spared from your death 10 years earlier.

One summer in 1956, you awake to set off on a journey, but your mother tells you that your childhood friend Amanda tried to get a hold of you, and she needs you to visit her immediately. You reach her house to find out it has been ransacked! She left you a message saying to take the Pokémon and her Pokédex and see the Professor; you find out the Pokémon she entrusted to you has an unstable genetic structure, and where it was found does not make matters any better!

Throughout your travels, you will explore a relatively new frontier, meet many strange new people, some of whom will become close friends, and meet a crazed scientist. In addition, a deadly bounty hunter, a strange Detective, a humorous group of Haters, unravel Red’s past, and even the head of a powerful organization.

Your goal is to travel through the land, scouring for leads on the whereabouts of your dear friend, along the way you will face many trainers, unravel a deep -plot twisting - lie, tear down an evil crime syndicate, travel through time, deal with the psychological and emotional realms of the human soul, find a love interest, and face the tragic reality of death and reality itself.

Features:
● Custom Music
● Ability to change your outfit
● New storyline
● 16 custom gyms (3 leaders to a gym){5 gyms, with 16 gym leaders, prior to 1950, kanto had 1 gym with 8 leaders, but recently they thought they should expand the gyms to more cities and towns, currently 5 with a total of 16 leaders}
● Explanations for Kanto's Past
● Various crime syndicates (still working out the details)
● Hilarious commentary
● Samuel Oak as your rival (keep in mind this is the past, and he is about 19)
● Custom Sprites
● Various new Pokémon
● A never ending battle stadium
● Time travel
● Starters: Spearow - Eevee - Growlithe (altered to be "eevee-lution" pokemon)
● Up to Gen 4 Pokémon catchable (pure main story game-play only) (currently)
● Every Pokemon made, or that will be made, catchable (by post-game events)
{This will be a very ambitious feat, but with the use of time travel, the player is given the ability to travel to the future and catch any new Pokémon that the Pokémon franchise ever makes [this means this game will have updates as new games come out]}

Tools:
● Pokémon Essentials {as well as various features}

History of Kanto:

Spoiler:

{///Progress///}
● 86 maps
● 3 gyms (none actually playable though, mostly place holders x.x)
● almost all the aesthetics done (character designs, and new pokemon)
● roughly ten areas to explore or travel through {currently working on the rest}

LightningAlex · #2 August 18th, 2012, 11:37 PM

Okay, first of all, I would like to say that I really love most of the features in your game! Kanto's past is great, and I'd really love to battle professor... uhm... Samuel Oak, in his late teen years, nonetheless! I just wonder if he was confused about his sexuality at that time... A boy or a girl? Hmmm..... xD

Second, I, myself am not a big fan of too much sci-fi, like, mad technology that alters the past. But I suppose there is a reason for the death of the protagonist.

Third, as I said in a PM, you're really a great artist. I love the sprites of the new Pokemon! Just, is there a reason to why the fire dragon has a fin on the end of his tail?
I can't wait to see the 7 evolutions of Growlithe! I love all dog-like Pokemon, and these'll probably be awesome!

And finally, a remark: Although you didn't show a lot in your maps, what you did show seems.... kind of bland. Too much green. Also, a street light in the middle of the grass (In the first town)? Aren't they usually a bit closer to the street? In the HAT cultist map, most of the area is plain grass, and there's a fence over some flowers.

All in all, this game has a lot potential. And I mean a lot! I think you just need a little bit more work with the maps.

Saving Raven · #3 August 19th, 2012, 01:23 AM

Thanks, thats a lot of constructive criticism,
1st, the fire dragon its not supposed to be a fin, more like a split, i might make that more predominant, but its evolution is going to have like, 2 tails

2nd, I was just trying to make the maps from how I thought it should look (from my head), they arent finished they are more or less, beta. I just wanted to see how they worked, and then go from there, but you're right, they are very lame xDD

once I have perfected the forest area I'll work on everything (1st, get it all set, then perfect it all) then i'll post screen shots of them :3

*edit* as for the "sci-fi" hes more of an equally ambitious, Dr. Emmott Brown, who made time travel possible, as well as (spoiler

) . . . a de-evolution stone

Musketeer · #4 August 19th, 2012, 03:30 AM

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but here's my two cents for your maps.

Alright, I know someone else said this before, but your maps are quite bland. In the third screenshot, I don't understand why there are two sinks. Plus, the door in the wall looks kinda odd.

The map with the fence around the grass, but has flowers growing underneath it, looks strange.

"Trash Pokémon" screenshot has one too many soda machines, IMO. It'd look better with only two. Just my opinion.

Map with the "Adoption Agency" has a bench that was originally included in the default tilesets that came with RMXP. Don't know what it's doing in a Pokémon tileset, but it looks so out of place.

Second to last map's cavern looks freaky, like it was glitched up or something.

However, I like your story, and the "Hidden Villages" idea is pretty neat. I especially love the way you thought up the whole Kanghaskan evolution theory. It makes sense, and why Game Freak didn't choose to do something like that is beyond me.

Ohh, that makes sense. I mistook it for a fin since it kinda reminds me of Vaporeon's fin.

Yeah, I already thought that's the case. I'm sure you'll improve them - post pictures when you do.

Oh, now that I've mentioned Vaporeon, I remembered to ask you, since you're adding custom Pokemon, do you plan to create an eeveelution for every type? That'd be awesome, and you could do it easily with your drawing skills.

Thank you for your post, and your input, I know the maps aren't really "up to par" but they are a starting point, its almost impossible to make a good map from scratch xDD but everything you said was right, and I'll take a closer look into the detail of everything in and on my maps, and thank you for the compliment on my story and pokemon evolution~ It makes this whole game worth it ^ ^

Unfortunately, I do not plan on adding anymore eevee evolutions at the moment, since this game is in the past, and its already a stretch to explain why fearow and growlithe have evolutionary quailities now, but not later. Furthermore, if I were to give eevee me evolutions, I would HAVE to give the others more evolutions, otherwise it would have an unfair advantage.
As for the pictures, I'm working hard to make an update c:

Saving Raven · #7 August 20th, 2012, 03:14 PM

Here's an update of what I have been working on since the critique yesterday:

I need opinions on this house, I want it to have a border around the kitchen like most homes actually do, but i dont know if thats good, or if there should be a similar border around the kitchen tile. thoughts, comments?

I loved the idea of having a poke-mart+center in one place introduced in pokemon B+W, and I tried to replicate it in this pokemon center, and I would like some feedback :D
here is the outside of it:

@ Musketeer, I tried making the cave entrance have the illusion of going down, but I guess I failed at that, so I tried this:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...shots/cave.png
If anyone knows some good cave tiles like this, (ie) illusion of going down, or even something better than this generic entrance xDD

LightningAlex · #8 August 20th, 2012, 04:19 PM

You did a good job on the border - it fits. But you don't have to put that much details into the inside of regular houses. Just don't put anything that's out of place, make them really small so there's not a lot of empty space, and that should do it.

For the second map, the idea of having the Pokemon Center & Mart in one building is great. The only thing that really looks out of place on that map are the floor tiles in the Mart-part. Change them to be the same tiles as the rest of the map, and it'll look good.
One more thing that bothers me (But I pay more attention to the details than "normal" people), is that the entrance to the Center+Mart is right in the middle, but on the inside it's moved to the left. Moving it to the middle won't change the aesthetics of the map, but it'll kinda make more sense... I don't know, I just pay a lot of attention to that kinda stuff xD (The Pokeball on the floor, too... IMHO it'll look better if its center is in front of Nurse Joy, or whatever the nurses are called in your game xD)

But aside these extremely minor things, the maps look good.

Musketeer · #9 August 20th, 2012, 05:48 PM

The new cave entrance looks good. If you want it to have the illusion of going down, I'd try creating a custom graphic for that. If you could somehow edit the "downward cave entrance" to fit properly with the other graphics, maybe it would seem fitting.

I love the new Pokémon Center. The idea of merging a PC and PM seems so fitting, that it also saves on mapping space. The PC and PM merged together looks really cool.

And the border around the kitchen makes sense. It doesn't seem out of place, and I just think it's a good idea.

Thanks, I had to read what you said like 3 times, before I got what you meant, and I totally didnt even see that xDD I was trying to place the entrance and pokeball where it made sense inside, and didnt even think about the entrance xDD I'll work on that, and thanks for the compliment :3

Thanks, I made custom graphics for a lot of these nit-picky things I've shown, I think I'll try a hand at the cave entrance, it just bothers me how awkward it looks >.< I want it to be perfect, thanks for the compliment on the PC+PM, and as Alex said, I might try changing the Tiles, I'll work on it...that and the kitchen, i have an idea!

Now I have a lot to work on, the next step though is working on world maps...I cant get the grass right

any tips would be greatly appreciated! I need to do some research on it (if there is anything)

I have a few tips on how to make world maps:
1) Don't make them big. Bigger maps = more "empty" space, which you'd want to avoid.
2) Most tiles in the overworld tileset are green. Trees, grass, tall grass. You'd like your maps more colorful, and there is no "colorful" without the color red. Most flowers are red - you can go a little overboard with them.
3) Don't use the "Rectangle" tool for trees, tall grass & flowers.
4) If you're building a town/city, make sure that the houses aren't too far apart from each other. You can add some houses without doors, or with locked doors, just to make the town/city appear bigger.
5) Trees aren't used for borders only, and there are a lot of different trees.
6) A few boulders (Not the ones that can be moved by strength) here and there will change a lot.
7) Look at maps by other game makers, or maps from the real Pokemon games. It helps.

Well, I hope this helps...

Newbridge town:

Spoiler:

-this is where you start off the game, its finished, theres not much else to do

Road 1:

Spoiler:

Cyan City:

Spoiler:

-I need advice, I was originally going to make 1 gym with a series of 16 leaders, but now i'm thinking of having 3 gyms with 5 leaders, or 5 gyms with 3 leaders, the final gym will be hidden away [you only need to beat 8, the rest are optional, but you get useful key items for each one after 8 you beat]
-the rest of the city is pretty much finished

Road 3 [exit left via cyan city]:

Spoiler:

-this is the road to the pokemon reservation, the eliteX, and many more things, its one of the last things in the game, and theres no need to finish this part, the road is finished.

Road 2 [exit up via cyan city]

Spoiler:

-the road to the secret forest (there are around 5 [give or take 2] secret areas, with 2 visible areas) theres a lake/pond area with an unfinished secret area to euphoria springs
-also the way to a mysterious cavern, with many many secret areas as well
-except for the secret area to the springs, it is finished

Stannum City:

Spoiler:

-I'm still working on this, the museum is the place filled with scientists who give information on pokemon, as well as areas (also where you find archaeologists, and excavators who give hints on hidden areas) (also a place where you can find books and read on various areas)
-the science lab will be turned into something else, most likely a gym, depending on any ideas I get for the gym idea I have
-This is 80% done, I need to move things around, and then add another route to a few other areas I wasnt planning on until now

Nice update! The archaeologists will add a new twist in gameplay, and Stannum City looks magnificent!

Make sure you keep your "Hidden Passages" idea throughout the whole game. It would add some replay value, and it'll be an incentive to beat the game.

LightningAlex · #14 August 21st, 2012, 11:32 PM

This is an improvement alright. There are some things you still need to fix, though:
Road 1 - The maps looks like a square, and ledges can't go over tall grass.
Cyan City - The gym roof is a bit too big (You did this probably because there are more gym leaders inside, but it's still too big). There is a random green square around the land on the water. Try using the road autotile instead. Also, who builds one part of a building on the ground, and the other part on a hill?
Road 3 - Not enough details, especially on the left part of the map. Other than that, the map is great.
Road 2 - Again, there's not enough details. Also, having parts of land on the water is okay, but having water parts on the land on the water is kinda unnecessary.
Stannum City - This map is fine. The only thing I'd like to say is, again, not enough details xD

I'm really sorry if I'm too harsh with my critiques...

Oh and by the way, IMHO the more gyms, the better, so I'd go for the 5 gyms with 3 gym leaders idea.

Thanks for the support, I like the idea of having an area that gives you information on a region (because since it has been found "recently" [not BRAN new, but not old] it makes sense they would document thing) and being able to use it as a resource for information, of course it wont tell you EVERYTHING like, "turn left at the big tree, you will find a secret path" thats not fun, but it will hint that there are valuable resources, or undiscovered areas "it seems smaller than you would think" or even "there is a rumor of a spring, but no one has been able to find it yet" but yeah, I love secrets, and i plan on adding even more!

yes yes, I agree the gym is abnormally large, I will change it, as it should be, I like the 5 gyms with 3 leaders, it adds to the variety, so thanks for your advice on that
-road 1, 3, and stannum city: thanks, I figured I needed to add some more details
-as for the "building on a cliff" i wanted it to be apart of it...its the safari zone entrance, but I might replace it with something else, make a bran new town, and put it in there...
anyway, you werent too harsh, infact, this is exactly what I needed to improve my maps, by tonight they will be perfect and I can move on finally!

@everyone: how do the trees in town look? not the border ones, the other ones, I wanted a type of tree that looks like its been there for a while, while the huge one in the starting town, that will be for the move "headbutt" as it is 3 tiles wide, and makes enough sense that a pokemon would live in it

Game looks great and one thing ilove is the kanto becuase I feel soo many hacks and fan game s fail becuse peope love pokemon and are comfotablr in regions similar to the original making them more likly to play but I pthink you should upgrade your tilesets

Thanks for your support, but I'm satisfied with the tileset I have, its a nice feel and I'm more comfortable with gen-3 tiles rather than gen-4 or 5. In addition, it keeps the same feel as fire red and leaf green, which is suitable because its supposed to be it in the past.

Here are some ideas I have been toying around with, and I would love some feedback on!
● Adding achievements
[Like catching a certain number of pokemon, or beating all the gyms, etc]

● Adding quests
[Like defeating a certain number of pokemon and recieving a special item/money/outfit]

● Adding outfits
[making a closet in your room, and at the start, you choose between 3 variations of your clothes, but as the game progresses you get a few more, but you mainly get more via quests and such]

{one quest I have in mind already involves the side group called the HAT cultists (haters against trainers), they ask you to harass some people, or defeat x number of trainers, and you get various hats from them (ridiculous of course, but hats nonetheless), this is important because I'm thinking of adding an area where there is a hat cultist blocking the entrance saying you dont have a hat which makes you lame, and you being lame would ruin the atmosphere of their establishment}

ANYWAY I'm requesting the help of anyone who could help me implement my ideas, as these are not "fantasies" I think they are very real and able to be implemented, I'm just very slow when it comes to scripts and events.
note, if you DO help with these ideas, I will love you forever, and you will be given a very hearty credit in the credit section of my thread, readme, as well as end-of-the-game :3

Would be nice, but would be better if you had some sort of online stat server which would show everyone's achievements. This way, players can brag/discuss/compete for their achievements. Otherwise, it isn't really necessary. At least, that's my opinion on how something like that would work.

Good idea! More things to do in a game makes it that much more playable!

That'd be so awesome! It'd add a degree of customization to the game, and players would, like I said before, be more inclined to complete the game to unlock new outfits. Please, do this if you can get someone to help you on it!

I see them as a nice little thing that keep people wanting to progress and get more, and iunno...they're just really fun to have and collect. You're "online stat server" is a good idea, but it seems like it should be implemented as a last, and side project, since I have many other pressing matters to attend to.

I will definitely try, unlike other ideas I have, I'm almost lost as to implementing them...

thanks for the interest! if you need help I wouldnt mind helping with spriting, or even possibly, some tilesets (I doubt I could really help, haha, i'm kinda good at "ripping" [if I understand what it is...]) but yeah, if you need some help I wouldnt mind seeing if I have the skills you need!

Saving Raven · #20 August 23rd, 2012, 06:50 AM

Hey guys, I've been working on some old sprites, making them perfect and trying to finish up all the pokemon data so I can work solely on mapping, and heres the pokemon I have finished!

1st off, ever wonder why arcanine is "legendary"? heres why~

Darcanine, one of the 2 variants that, during the climate change, lack of food and land after the war, became the fire type "arcanine"

Archic, the second variant, it has powerful psychic abilities and exerts an unknown, powerful mental force
-these 2 completely different, and very powerful pokemon had to become one species to survive, and coping with the dense heat and different climate (as well as mixture of opposing types) became a fire type

next is the male counterpart of kangaskhan, Sanguskhan!

-to survive, the males became cubones, while the babies stayed in the pouch of their mothers, once they were old enough to survive on their own (much later than now) the females would be raised as kangaskhan to keep their dwindling species alive, while the males became cubones, as they depended heavily on their mothers, so much so, that they were sacrificed in order for the "cubone" to get the vital nutrients it needed to survive on its own and become stronger.

finally, the ice version of fearow :D

The pokemon glaciary is the ancestor of the modern-day pokemon, braviary. in the rapid climate change and land reformation after the war, you could say it "melted" into the braviary of today

I have an idea for my achievment idea (while I have no idea how to impliment this, or an idea of how to set up the system) I thought making an app for the pokegear "achievments" would be a brilliant idea!

-it would work like the pc item system, only instead of showing items, it shows achievements, and it shows all the possible achievements, rather than only the ones you have obtained thus far
-in the square where it explains the achievement, it would have a lock, indicating you have yet to have gotten it, or an unlock, showing you have gotten it already
-When you recive an achievement, it would say whatever it is on this!:

Finally, to conclude this update, I have made a map of the region!

its loose base of kanto (as this is decades before the region we know today) with various missing places (as they are merely rumors and not fully discovered yet) while the rest that has been, is shown. there is also a lot of empty space since it has only recently been discovered.

I'm in love with Darcanine already <3 And I love your achievement idea, it's great!

I don't know what else to say xD Only compliments, no critiques this time!

wow, thanks :3
its like, if someone could come up with the bare script for achievements, i have all the materials to use xDDD
and archic+darcanine are based loosely off of espeon and umbreon

As promised I have been working on the new road, and finished stannum city, and as per the advice of Musketeer and alex, I even remade road 1!

comments?

I'm happy with it, plenty of fun with the HAT cultists, thanks again, Musketeer, as well as plenty of fun with the museum, and many reasons to come back!

this is by no means the final product, but how is the concept? the next town is supposed to be at the base of a mountain range (some of which is accessible)

Now, this is what I call good maps! Great job on them, keep that up! Never rush a map, if you're "too lazy to make them nice" at the moment of creating them. Everything looks great!

I've been thinking, maybe I could make the achievement system an add-on to your personal computer, making it slightly more useful (since I have never seen a use of depositing/withdrawing items, nor using mail)
comments, ideas?

Likewise, I could make the closet system like the PC item storage, when you get a new outfit its put in the closet in your room
comments? ideas?

I have a question, I have no idea how to make the underground secret library work... I have everything all made, I just dont know where to put the entrance or how to activate it as a "secret" I need some ideas on it xDD

I'm sorry, I can't help you with the first two questions - whatever you decide will be fine for me.

As for the third question, I'm not sure if you ever mentioned something like an underground secret library.... maybe you did, but I forgot (I'm pretty sure I've read every word in this thread), but I just tend to forget easily. If you could explain to me what exactly you mean, maybe I'll be able to help you.
