Game Title - ***not yet named ***
Description - This will be a text-based Pokemon game, written in C#, which will resemble the original Red & Blue Pokemon games. I am trying to hone my skills in C# and I thought "what better way than to write a Pokemon game?" I am going to follow the original games closely while trying to add my own twists in there as I go. Originally, I didn't think I would release it to the public. I'll admit, I was a bit intimidated with what I've seen on these forums. But, after thinking about it, if I'm going to put the time into the game, why not release it so people could comment and critique it? Life is a never-ending path to knowledge and the more people that see what I've done, the more I can learn.
Development Team - You're looking (reading?) at him! This is a one man show as of now.
Features - These won't be very overwhelming, considering some of the absolute MASTERPIECES I've already seen on this site in my short stint here, but to me they will be considered accomplishments in my brand new coding career. If I can incorporate any/all of these in my game, I will be ecstatic!
Development - I've gotten some of the basics to begin the game completed, such as an introduction, selecting your starting Pokemon, your rival selecting their Pokemon, prompt for your first rival battle (no combat as of yet) followed by a list to travel to another town. Again, very basic stuff to start. Where I am at right now is I'm trying to create the actual Pokemon and develop a randomEncounter() method to decide which wild Pokemon shows up depending on which region you are in.
Screenshots - Since this is a text-based game, these screenshots aren't going to be much to look at other than a console screen. In time, I could create venture down the road of making a GUI to be much more user-friendly, but that's not on my to-do list as of yet. Here's just a couple quick screens so far:
