[Released] Pokémon Obsidian Version

After watching the YouTube demos of Obsidian, I decided to give the real program a try: my disability makes console/handheld games too awkward to use, so a Pokémon hack that's meant to work with a regular PC especially interested me. Unfortunately, Obsidian crashed as soon as I pressed C to begin. Whether it's unplayable on this 6-year-old machine, I'm not sure; could one of you please help me out? Here are my technical specs in case you need them--

• Make/model: Dell Inspiron 3500
• Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition with SP3
• Processor: Intel Pentium CPU, 2.00 GHz
• RAM: 3.25 GB (the most I could install in a 32-bit machine)
• Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5400

If I'm unable to play any of the fan-games here on this machine, then I apologize for my cluelessness and promise to stick to other parts of the forums. Otherwise, I would very much appreciate any help you could give me (buying another machine is not an option, unfortunately).

I'm not sure about anything else, but RAM, Processor and OS isn't an issue - I run XP Home SP3, 1.66GHz and 0.99GB ram, and Obsidian's been running pretty well for all I know.

And yeah, 0.99GB ram - Que the questions on how on earth I make music on such a tiny machine.
...Or not. Whichever.

Edit: Maybe it's the graphics card? I couldn't run a Mario fangame on a system with more RAM while I can run it on this machine.

Gotta say Atomic, everything's looking pretty smooth. And most of the glitches and things I saw, you're probably already treating.

Is there a way to find out whether the graphics card is to blame, without opening up the machine? (Last time I needed an internal part installed, I hired someone.) The error dialog-box wasn't very specific about what caused game.exe to crash.

Oh great
It's gonna get a new soundtrack, and nobody's saying anything

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWing aside, is there a way to change the controls? I've been accustomed to A=X B=Z Start=Enter and I don't wanna have it any other way.

i've played the demo and i really liked it. you're working so hard on this game, making it such an epic storyline, you forgot you've been working on it for about a year, but when you do remember, you don't care, you keep working hard! like a TRUE pokemon master! you're making a game, so that everyone will like it! and you don't care if they don't like it, you worked hard on this game, and you're proud of yourself! hehe...and why is Game Developer Justin so hard?? i had to fight him like 15 times! but he had 2 fire, 2 grass, and 2 water! your fakemon starters, and the Kanto starters, which was cool, but he WAS TOUGH!! but i still enjoyed getting my lv.20's to lv.23! keep working hard Reactor!

Hey, so i noticed these posts started like 2 years ago. i guess that means im late, but is demo 3 out? ive been searching for like the past day cuz tbh this game is pretty damn awesome. id love to be able to continue with it if possible?

I doubt it, the post hasn't been updated in a while.
Also, sorry guys, but due to (an)other personal project(s), progress on the OST is really slow. I'm still writing stuff off-and-on, but I'll just make it clear that my focus is /not/ on this game as of right now.

I like that you're going to include original music. That's a true touch of dedication.

Hey guys, Atomic Reactor here.
I have some news, that is best summed up by this video.

Let me know if you have any ideas on how I can get the files back.

That's a shame... I really enjoyed Pokémon Obsidian...

I know you've said that you've tried system restore, but could re-downloading the demo and getting at least those files back be a start? I know that you've probably done hours and hours of work since then, but this is the only option at the moment...

If not, then that's a great shame...

P.S.: Were your friends doing it as an April Fools joke? If they were, tell them all that deleting peoples' work isn't a joke; it's just being an annoying little ****er.

It's less dedication and more impulse, but yeah, I know... Until he cancelled it.
My opinions can be found on the video he posted, but in a nutshell, I am not satisfied one bit.

Woah this should be a great game ^_^ but sadly the links are dead :( i wish i was there when i can still play the game

Did you try the second link? That one should work!

i'm glad this is still around! that was a pretty dastardly april fools prank haha

Yeah I know haha.

Well, I haven't uploaded anything to PC lately, any requests on what you guys wanna see?

some leaks! I want some new details on this!

How's the project movin big boy?
From the looks of it you got some solid production goin on

Seems like good work, but the selection of Pokemon does seem a bit limited.
