Pokemon Silk2: Take Over
 
56k WARNING- IMAGE HEAVY!!
First Post includes 14 screenshots

Hello everyone. As some may know, I worked on Pokemon Silk before I worked on Digital Network. The thread for Pokemon Silk can still be found a few pages back. But I ask a for a mod to close it because Pokemon Silk2: Take Over is here.

HERE IS THE LATEST DEMO
http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3QNAUNE...BI0ZDEAOKH9P6XK
http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2SBFPVT...VX1VAFBTGFGUTWI


What Happened To Pokemon Silk1:
When I re-formatted my PC, I had saved my games onto discs, or in the case of Digital Network- Posted a Demo. (So I could just re-download it).
Many of my games I had put onto discs a good while back. Unaware that I had the OLD Silk on my other PC, I went ahead and re-formatted my PC without saving it to a disc. Pokemon Silk was lost.
I searched through all my discs to find the most recent version of Silk and had found one. But it was still a old one. Stuff like my CBS for the game was lost. I was really pissed off, I was going to quit Silk...
And...
I did.
But I decided to use what files I had left (like the menu files and stuff)- and instead of re-making Silk, I'm going ahead with its sequel.

Which Leads me to...

Pokemon Silk2: Take Over.

Story:
Unlike the normal GB(A) pokemon games, you are not talking controll of a teenager, in fact, in this game, You'll take controll of a man (female character hasn't been sprited :P )- named Yin (you can re-name him in the game). Yin is an ex-member of Team Rocket and has just after getting out of jail. Deciding to make a fresh start, he wants to become a pokemon trainer. And gets his first pokemon (you can chose between the 3 Johto starters). One day, after watching a news report on TV, hearing about how Team rocket is starting to fall, and Team Magma/Aqua is rising, Yin gets "ticked" off. Hes angry to see Team Rocket fall, but sees his oportunity...
He decides to form his own Team!

Features:
One new feature that is rarely seen is the ability to make your own team. You'll be able to name it and select the sprites for what you want your followers/members to look like.
You will also be given different choices through out the game- that WILL effect gameplay. Because I've now added a Reputation system, follwers will join you based on your actions...
Example:
Team Rocket is being cornered by Team Magma.
Will you decided to help out Team Rocket?
Will you help out Team Magma?
Will you just do nothing?

The choice is yours. But of course- remember, the name of the game is Take Over. It is up to you to make your Team- the Number 1.

You'll have the basic things like a running system.
Ofcourse, my game will have alot of custom things..
Like a Custom menu System.
Custom Bag/Item system.
And my best Custom Battle system to date.
Unlike my prevous games, you'll be able to catch pokemon in this game, and use them in battle. There is a custom leveling system and EXP system.
A first for my games: Pokemon Learn attacks as they level up...

A downer for some may be the lack of pokemon. Im not going to promise you 50+ pokemon in this game, because as I said, every pokemon in the game will be abled to be used in battle. At the current moment of posting this, there is 5- including the 3 starters.

You can see for yourself in the screenshots.

At any point after forming a Team, you can have members of the team follow you WHENER U CHOSE! You can have as many as 6 members follow you, or even just one, OR none at all, its your choice.

Esai May 27th, 2005 7:10 AM

You asked for new features on your forum but Im gonna suggest one, A Mugging System, no im not kidding, like because your evil, you could steal something from trainers when you beat them,

And the Screens look Great the CBS is too Awesome!

Silver Pearl May 27th, 2005 7:11 AM

Cool screenshots! This is the same thing that happened to me!

Peekimon May 27th, 2005 10:22 AM

0_0 Wow!!!
Story: 10/10
Screenshots: 100/10 :P

It all looks nice, no graphical errors! Keep up the brilliant work :)

BallisticBlastoise May 27th, 2005 10:58 AM

Great stuff Neo. This sounds likes it's gonna be cool!

Sorye HK May 27th, 2005 6:41 PM

6 members following you sounds a bit too much. How about just a max of 2 or 3? Anyways, I'm sorry that you lost your game. I wish you good luck on this one!

Dawson May 28th, 2005 1:07 AM

Everything looks great Neo. I'm sorry to hear that you lost all of your hard work for Silk, but I'm delighted to see that this looks even better than the original.

Davey-kun May 28th, 2005 6:28 AM

im lovin that u can hav ur own team, u shud make it so u can hav ur own colour, like jus have a load of colours to choose from

RM2K3kid May 28th, 2005 7:33 AM

Sorry about your loss but this is starting to look like a great game. I hope to see more soon.

Neo-Dragon May 28th, 2005 8:03 AM

Thanks for all the positive comments.
Finished working on the "stat card" (a trainer card).
It mainly just shows your REP.


http://img184.echo.cx/img184/8642/statcard4qa.png

If you have good rep- the counter (the wihte thing in the middle of the bar) will be closer/or in the green section.
If you have a bad/evil rep- the counter will be futher into the red section.
Your reputation will effect your Team and how the NPCs see it.

You can be good or bad, but the aim of the game is to be the baddest team out there.

Datriot May 28th, 2005 9:23 AM

awesome! extremly cool plot and screens! love the rep idea!

Draik May 28th, 2005 9:52 AM

Hmmm....pretty good. I agree with Daegon, tone down the team members. Otherwise, lookin' good.

Neo-Dragon May 28th, 2005 11:34 AM

I have a question for you all.
Do you think I should use this grass tile. Its from Zelda the minish Cap.

http://img141.echo.cx/img141/1979/showingfunkygrass9bt.png

RM2K3kid May 28th, 2005 10:32 PM

Hm.. It doesn't look correct with the tree's, grass and the light and the other patch of green near the house.. maybe recolour them then display it. At the moment I say no. But if you recolour the other objects I might change my mind hehe.

Booda Sack May 28th, 2005 10:45 PM

Yeah I agree with Rmk2k3Kid.
The first half of the map is great but on the second half where the wild poke grass is try making patch not so quare.

Sorye HK May 28th, 2005 11:18 PM

I agree as well. How about recolouring it using a lighter green? Nice trainer stat card BTW.

Neo-Dragon May 29th, 2005 10:58 AM

I aint going to use it, I was trying it out and I wasn't too into it, but I decided to take a screen and ask you guys.
Thanks for all the comments so far!

DarkPegasus May 29th, 2005 11:10 AM

Nice screens,nice everything...O and you shouldn't use the grass...

Neo-Dragon May 29th, 2005 11:30 AM

Heres another update.
I've added in 2 new CMS's.
The first is a Custom Money system, to go with my Custom Mart system.

Heres a screenshot of the mart.

http://img20.echo.cx/img20/4634/martsystem2nn.png

I went for a more Emerald feel for it.

Gokey Shuckle May 29th, 2005 7:47 PM

It's that bad of a game. I like it a lot. The grass is a bit green in the later shots.....But all in all, not bad.

Sorye HK May 29th, 2005 11:35 PM

The screen looks nice. THe words are a bit blurry though.

Neo-Dragon May 30th, 2005 3:21 AM

yeah i know, thats cause instead of making the words myself, I just took them from Emerald.

Well anyways, I got an updated menu to show you.
I added in descriptions of the commands (in the blue box) and added in "player stats"

DarkPegasus May 30th, 2005 3:39 AM

It looks really nice,but a retorical question:

How are we gonna put a bike in that small bag?

Dawson May 30th, 2005 4:15 AM

Awesome CMS, Neo! That charset looks really cool too.

Illusion May 30th, 2005 8:31 AM

I love the CMS! I find that there is a bit too much space between the Pokedex, Badges and Saves.
Otherwise it's great!
