Wow! You think so! Thanks! I hope the grunts turn out to be that good as well!

Also, I (randomly) Decided to make the hero battler. Is this any good as well? I just recolored an existing one and edited out a few things and changed his right leg, but the captain I did splicing and custom jeans and stuff. Thats what I'm going to do with the grunts too. So... I'll be done by tonite ^_^ The sad thing is that I suck with pokemon... I can do trainers pretty well, but not pokemon >_<

Also, I recolored a Sharpedo. This will be one of hammerhead's pokemon.

Maybe you shouldn't worry with this too much for now...

Custom sprites are, IMO, one of the last things to do on a game. Just imagine: you spend days and nights creating sprites and when you finish you are like "OMG I'm so tired, I'll put this project on hold". Guess what? Bye bye nice Pokémon game because you got bored.

That's just my opinion, but I guess I have a point.
Anyway, I found some battle animations in the Dev Resources thread...
^^

Yeah, I hear ya. After about the third one I was like... yeah... this is a waste of time. So now its just back to making maps. But, I've got a question. You know how the maps only go to about 200x300 or something? I'm trying to make it so you don't have to mack separate maps for each route. Like for example, making the whole reigon out of one map. But I suppose that that would overload sometime and cause too much time to load when you leave a building... so... I just killed my own idea. But aside from that, I'm trying to develop a way to make a smooth transition between maps. When I do no fade, it looks kinda like its skipping... and I'm also thinking that when you are on a bike or running it will cancel out or glich it. any Ideas?

And about the battle animations, which page? >_> I'm still looking. LoL...

If you make you drawings alittle more detailed, and have a darker outline, ( i can hardly see it onmy comp) I can try the sprites for you. Not sure about backs, but i can do the battle forms.

 

[WHALESDUDE]

sweet! I think I can do the backs if you make the regular ones. Becuase (usually) the backs less detailed in most games... like wailmer, it looks like a blue lump with a blowhole at the top ^_^

So, Should I go over it in paint or darken the pencil lines for you to draw? Actually, yeah, thats what I'll do. I'll darken it in pencil and post them here unless someone else posts.

 

[SyrupMaker]

The game looks good IMO. But i suggest you liven the maps a little if you know what I mean :).

 

[WHALESDUDE]

Thanks, and yep, I'm fixing them up. Making them more perty.

Anywho, I took a few and quick made them darker. Now I'm only posting a few because I'm giving my arm a break (lol... it hurts to draw this much) but here they are. I'll post more soon. As well as some new screens.

Oh and If anyone could make a sprite of the captain? That would be sweet.

 

[Domin-8]

Alright, well right now i am doing the warmadillo or whatever. What colors would you like it to be?

 

[WHALESDUDE]

Hm... well like the snout and stuff is regular, like a beige fleshy color. Maybe a light brown. The armor around it is like metal. Like a suit of armor. The tail is black though. Like a flail. um... and teh nose is red... I think thats it right?

 

[Domin-8]

Yeah, sorry i got the name wrong it was warweasle. Anyway, it may take sometime to get this done. My school year is almost over ( full days, then 4 half days<--Exams) So I will try and get some done for you. Is Warweasle a big pokemon? Like give me a comparison

 

[WHALESDUDE]

same here. Half days with exams and SOLs... um... its about the size of linoone.

 

[Domin-8]

Linoone, alirhgt, man i can't wait till summer.

 

[WHALESDUDE]

I know. Then my Game and resourse output will increase a hundredfold! Or to you fans or rock out there, sevenfold.

Heres the revamped route 201:

 

[Domin-8]

I know who you speak of, nice map by the way, not cluttered, I could see that as a hard route also

 

[WHALESDUDE]

Yeah, Its your first route though. Well, technicaly not. The beginning... sorta... You dont start with any pokemon. Like... you get on a ship and go to Vescott first. when you try to go into the grass at this one part, your later rival shows up and escprts you to vescott and back. THen whe nyou go back you get Dravy. THe starter.

Hey, also, is ther a way I can make pokemon cries? like... would I just use a MIDI program?

 

[~Azura]

Whalesdude, for that map question you made some posts back:

But, I've got a question. You know how the maps only go to about 200x300 or something?

They go up to 500x500 (Really Big!)

I'm trying to make it so you don't have to mack separate maps for each route. Like for example, making the whole reigon out of one map.

You don't need to map the entire region in one map. I use caves to split the region in three or four maps. Even original Pokemon games do that (with Cerulean Cave and the cave before Lavender Town). Got my point? You can use buildings too, like Safron City, where you need to pass through a building to enter/leave the city (Same as with Vermillion City).

But aside from that, I'm trying to develop a way to make a smooth transition between maps. When I do no fade, it looks kinda like its skipping... and I'm also thinking that when you are on a bike or running it will cancel out or glich it. any Ideas?

Well there isn't a way, but you can use the split-region-idea I told you ^^

And about the battle animations, which page? >_> I'm still looking. LoL...

I'll find them in a minute.

Oh and hows the sprite comming along hyperion? I'm anxious to see how its going to turn out! ^_^

 

[Domin-8]

By the end of theweek you will have it. I am trying to make it look nice( i am also doing two other scratches at the moment also)

 

[WHALESDUDE]

Awesome! Can't wait! I respect the time frame as well. I won't rush you. Just as long as it either looks good, or... just gets done in general! ^_^ Thanks a million by teh way!
