Thanks for your support. A majority of tiles are B/W "style" but there are some bits in pieces that are D/P styled.

Here are the updated heroes for Pokemon Amaranth (do not steal please :3). These were done by Litera-sure over at DA, I'd recommend you guys check him out, he's very talented.

Just for a progress update: college has started once again, so I'm very busy. Trying my best to make do, but school always comes first.

I've been trying to plow through some eventing at the moment, right now I'm working on the first gym, it's a simple concept in term of the puzzle. Being the first gym I wanted to do something simplistic yet appealing aesthetically. You are on a bunch of platforms, in order to get to the next platform you will need to step on a blue switch that will engage the bridge. Of course, in order to get to the switch for each platform a trainer stands in your war :3. I have some screens, but I'd rather wait this weekend and finish the remaining eventing for it. That way, I can get you guys screenshots as well as a video. :3

Just a little update to let you guys know development may be hindered at the moment, but the game is still alive and kicking. =D

Wow those updated heroes sure are nice. Can't wait for the gym video :)

... buh-.

*Blinks.*

...

Holy scheisse, those are amazing. The girl is so cute. <3 And except for the skirt maybe, there's nothing particularly stereotypical about her.

Thanks, I really do appreciate it!

Here are some gym screens for now, still planning on releasing a game-play video this weekend.

pkmn_amaranth_sullenstone_gym_by_pkmnamaranth-d48lamu.png


Sullenstone Gym is home to the gym leader Mirage, a dark Pokemon specialist. Not much is now in terms of the history of Mirage, his past before the downfall of the Lost World is completely unknown. Abandoning his real name, he takes on the persona of "Mirage" to stand as the gym leader of Sullenstone City. He is often seen exploring the deep innards of Sullenstone Ruins, in order to gain a greater understanding of the events that have befallen the Lost World.

The mechanics for the first gym are fairly straightforward and simple (being the first gym, simplicity is expected). The hero will make their way through multiple platforms that lead up to the gym leader. On each platform there is a switch that will reveal a pathway to the next platform. Of course, in order to reach the switch for each platform, a trainer stands in the way.

Wow, looking awesome so far, and I loove the gym leader warning! I can't believe nobody else has thought of that. At least, you're the first person I see using it.
The text color used at 'Mirage', is very cool.
The video must be awesome ^_^

Thanks!

I'm not completely satisfied with the end result, a lot of the mechanics still need some modifications done. I didn't have much time to mess with it, and I promised a video so I will deliver :3.

You can view it here:

As I said earlier, please keep in mind that a lot will change between now and the final product, this video does not reflect anything set in stone regarding the game, and is subject to change.

Here are the stuff that I haven't had time to address for this video.

Known issues:
-Pokemon back sprite in battle gradually moves up
-Commands can be executed before the prompt appears on screen
-Battle music not properly looping
-Mouse module not properly reflecting areas that should be "clickable"

As promised here is the video, which is a quick rundown of the first gym, as well as a battle with Mirage, the gym leader.

Heh, I can't say much negative stuff. The only thing I didn't like was the music. Especially when you're talking to the gym leader. I don't think it suits pokémon that well. the battle music is not that great either. But the gym itself looks great!

Thanks! The as I said, nothing will be set in stone. For now the music is something I'm experimenting with. I do want more "darker" music though in the game, so it may not fit Pokemon, but in a sense it should fit the overall tone of the game.

Great screens,
but i think you're using the gas screen filter a little too heavily, I get it's part of the storyline, but i would try toning it down, especially the purple one.
