[Released] Pokémon: Good and Evil (PUBLIC DEMO VERSION 1.0)

[SP4CEW0RLD]

"...one of the sleeper hits of '23... an experience that no platform/action gamer should miss."​

-PKMNExtreme​

POKÉMON: GOOD AND EVIL (PGAE for short!) is a currently in-development Pokémon fan game with an emphasis on art and writing.​

It's made with Pokemon Essentials v19.1 and it utilizes the EBDX plugin.​

PLOT/STORY​

Spoiler:

The TAU.

With this strange artifact's power, humanity created fierce beasts in their own image.

Fearing these beasts, and the power getting into the wrong hands, a group of four great scholars did the only thing they could do.
They shattered the TAU into four pieces, leaving only the CORE.
Each scholar took a piece of the TAU, and then hid it in the farthest reaches of the WISCONSANE region, hopefully to never be found again.

Unfortunately, two groups see themselves in an ever-desperate search for the TAU's power.

Known as HOLY and EDGE, they will stop at nothing to use the TAU for their own selfless/selfish goals.
It's YOUR job to track down the now missing scholars across the four zones of WISCONSANE, and find all four the pieces of the TAU before it's too late!

Prior to the TAU's shattering, its power was harnessed to give some of its creations very SPECIAL abilities.
TAUSIM ENERGY is a substance which, when held by certain Pokémon, allows them to achieve a new form known only as PEAK.

NEW STUFF​

Spoiler:

• A brand-new cartoony, bold-outlined art style inspired by games like Paper Mario! By the end of production, nearly everything will have been redrawn.
• New Abilities, some are combinations of older Abilities. Hopefully, I can get some of the more unique ideas I want reasonably implemented in Essentials later down the line.
• New moves, hopefully even more unique ones once I figure out how to properly animate moves in EBDX.
• Voice acting, technically. I voice every single Pokémon.
• More to come as I learn more about Essentials! This is my first real project in it!

PROGRESS?​

Spoiler:

POKÉMON: GOOD AND EVIL is far from finished. Hell, the demo itself is only a few battle tests to showcase the new artwork and moves/abilities.
There's a planned regional dex with around 100 Pokémon that each need 3 sprites. Another thing to note is that there are a few planned regional/"secret" forms and evolutions, as well as possible convergent species.
Overworld art has to be made as well, and I'm just a single teenager spriting everything here. I'm not asking for help though, and I have confidence in myself that I could get it all done, even if it takes a while.
For context, this public access demo only took about two and a half weeks to make, and I took a few days off on the project.
As for music, I have a planned composer, but that'll probably be a tough bridge to cross when I get there as well.

Either way, expect another demo when the first zone is nearing completion, I'm probably gonna pull a Deltarune.
