Pokémon Eon Version

[NikNaks]

No takers for Stoke? That's a shame...

Also, sorry for the double post, but I promised an update a day, and I didn't want to have to wait for someone else to butt in. So, here goes.

----

More miscellanea today! Here are the Dinso badges, in DPPt style, courtesy of Rhy-Rhy:

And here's what we're going to be working on. Eventually, all of these badges will spin like this one:

And finally, here's an updated region map, showing off both Hoenn and Dinso:

Please, feel free to comment, or moan about how terrible these updates are. xD Any input is appreciated.

[Alamos]

Maps look great, just got one question you have to beat the dinso region to get to the hoenn correct?

[NikNaks]

Nope. It goes East Dinso -> Hoenn -> West Dinso.

----

Honestly, I'm not loving the apathy here, but I'll keep posting these updates, whether you like them or not. For today, I'm introducing the water starter line.


Toriono, Olorain & Irigelle

Artwork by lx_theo and Rashoumon. Tomorrow, we'll be showing off some Hoenn stuff. Stay tuned...

[Riceeman]

The updates are cool Niknaks, but those Water Starters could do with a bit of a work. For a start, they don't look like a singular pokémon line, they look non-Pokémonish and very seperate. The sprites themelves could also be worked on a bit - The shading and lineart is off in places. I hope that isn't too harsh, because y'know I love this game Niks and I want it to be the best, and those Water Starter's just don't cut it when I think how much better they could be.

Looking forward to more, Ricee.

Are the water starters part filying too?

[GFA]

Yeah, the color change makes them look seperate.

[Karel_Kazuki]

It feels as though because they're three different water birds(Seagull,Duck,and Flamingo), they don't flow.If you could, try to ask who is spriting to make the Pokemon a little more like the Duck.If you've seen Tom and Jerry,I'd ask you to make the final evolution look like the dad duck. or this picture right here. http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/e5aVY4PFFGc/default.jpg

and the middle one can be an improved look of Donald Duck or something. THat could be a line.

Dew's game is changed his 'August Emerald' to 'Eternal Emerald' if you haven't read his journal.

Dew only said that because you he said you NikNaks changed the name into Eon Emerald

[NikNaks]

Thanks to venom, we've got a whole host of new scripts, so today, here's a preview of our menu. This is coded and working in-game, so you can expect it to look just like this when you play it. No mock-ups involved. :D Spoiler'd for size.

Fakemon in an emerald remake?
I'm so playing this (when the demo is released of course )
I feel like I've seen this family of Pokemon somewhere before though...

That's because you probably have! They were the Water starters of my old project, Pokemon Zirconium.

I'm helping out NikNaks on August Emerald as well. Since defno, one of Zirconium's old artists, is also on the August Emerald team, we decided to reuse some of the old Fakemon designs we had made for it. Better than letting them go to waste!

[AceDragonite]

^Ah yes *checks old thread* I was quite the Zirconium fanboy back in the day, I'm really excited that your helping write it kaiser, hopefully the plot will be as good as Zirconium's I would give an arm to write for this game.

Anyway good luck guys, I'm sure this game can suceed!

[Rashoumon]

As a note to all who are complaining about the water starters: I made the first one, and LX made the last two. I have yet to redo LX's sprites with my own edits/remakes. (He's a much better trainer spriter. :P )

[Powerflare]

This project looks amazing! I couldn't find any links to this project on any forum for a while so I'm really excited to see how well its doing.

[Logiedan]

I think you should keep the styles for the starters consistent as the rest of your other sprites. It'll look more clean in my opinion.

[Tranitar]

AAAAAAH!@#!@$#!@#!@ looks epic!!! but you tease me with no Beta Downloads!!!!

[Wichu]

Are you using a script for the spinning badges? If not, you probably should. Also, add some lighting to the spinning animation; at the moment, the direction it's spinning in is very ambiguous.

Here's something I whipped up in a few minutes; I haven't tested it yet, so it might have a bug or two.

badge_sprite.ox = badge_sprite.width / 2 #sets the sprite to rotate around the centre, not the left side.
angle = (frame * 2 * Math::PI) / max_frame # gets the angle of the sprite in radians.
zoom_x = Math::cos(angle) # circular motion uses sin or cos; I chose cos because it starts with the badge facing the viewer. Ranges between -1 and 1.
if zoom_x > 0 # if zoom_x is positive, the badge is facing towards you; if it's negative, it's facing away.
  badge_sprite.bitmap = front_bitmap 
else
  badge_sprite.bitmap = back_bitmap
end
if (((frame * 4) / max_frame) % 2) == 0 # This is a bit tricky; we need it to be shaded dark in the first and third quarters of the animation, and light in the second and fourth.
  badge_sprite.color.red = 0
  badge_sprite.color.green = 0
  badge_sprite.color.blue = 0
else
  badge_sprite.color.red = 255
  badge_sprite.color.green = 255
  badge_sprite.color.blue = 255
end
badge_sprite.color.alpha = 128 - (zoom_x.abs * 128) # Sets the alpha of the shading colour; zoom_x.abs is the same as zoom_x but disregards the sign (so a negative value becomes positive).
badge_sprite.zoom_x = zoom_x # Finally, sets the sprite's zoom_x. A negative value (when the back is shown) should flip the sprite; if it doesn't, then either flip the image of the back, or set badge_sprite.mirror.

[Chaos Uxie]

WOW This Awesome i really got sad seeing auguast emerald thread closed but i am reilived that auguast emerald aint dead and man i must say that ur as good as dewitty or better and the game is going great Sure hope it doesnt stop in the middle like other games i know T_T.and here is a support banner i know it isnt that good but am a total noob lol hope u will accept it niknaks

[NikNaks]

That support banner is nice enough, but unfortunately it's not that useful to us now. As, after weeks of discussion and thinking, we've decided to change the name. Not to distance ourselves from the original game, but from Emerald. Enough people think this is a remake, and it isn't. It's a sequel, and, as such, it's a distinct game. So now it's got a distinct name.

New logo by defno

To go along with it, we've got some beautiful pixel art from Conan Edogawa that we'll be using as our title screen:

That's right, the game's mascots are the Eon duo. No prizes for guessing why we chose Eon as the new name. xD

We've also moved away from Planet Development after a long and happy stay there due to a few connection issues, so visit us at our new site [link removed].

asking for betas=against the rules

[Conan Edogawa]

I wasn't sure when you wanted to showcase that, I never expected it to be the title screen. If you need any more work from me don't hesitate to ask.
