I'll be updating these screenshots a lot. I have a lot more sprites and maps to make so keep in mind, nothing is final yet.

First of all... The Fakemon need work like no offense but you should try practicing your skills on that I suggest you look up some tutorials... I also see your mapping skills need work, and the story sounds typical but I would like to see what you will implement on it :P Im glad to see your making this hack on your own well other than that nothing much to say but the best of luck:)

7 years ago I was in a situation similar. I posted an image I made that people didn't quite like, but I didn't know how I could fix it. I'll never forget the person who revamped my image and showed me my first pixel art tutorial.

Now my style isn't pokemon-like but hopefully It might give you an idea on shading and shaping.
Here is a revamp I made in a few minutes, I left in my progress so you could see how it works.

Here is an excellent tutorial as well http://www.deviantart.com/?q=pixel+art+tutorial, It wasn't my first tutorial but it should give you a good understanding. I hope I might have helped, and I wish your hack the best of luck.

I know these fakemon aren't the best so far. I have a lot of work to do on them. All of them are based on animals so far, but I guess I'm just not that great at spriting right now. I'll make sure these look better for the final version.

Maybe it's only me but the maps look too dark and the Fakemon look...not ready yet.
Still this hack looks to be interesting.

Thanks. What do you mean by "too dark"? True, the Fakemon are not done yet. I promise they will look better when the Beta is ready.

I already see that you know you have to focus more on the sprites, but I also see that the OW map looks very dark and/or uncolorful, that what some people mean when they say that the OW maps looks dark, also I know this isn't finished but I want to tell you that some of the OW maps looks a little empty, I hope I helped with something at least.

The dark areas where part of a forest you go to in the game. It may look a little empty because these are screenshots. I had to choose one small section of a map to post. Thanks for your advice.

I must say.. your art is truly magnificent. Just kidding, your Fakemon needs A LOT of work. Also the OW of the hero.. (Holy wtf did you just do to the ♥♥♥♥ing hero?!) It needs to be fixed :( Also..
navy3_zps7d0358e7.png

The name, can you work on the name? BLATACAT is not a good name though. I think you need to work on it :) Is that VAMURAT or VAMVRAT? Looks both 'V' to me (V.V that's me) It looks like a recolored rare candy wrapper or something. Just candy. The box art too. I'm not good at drawing and I can't say I can do a little better. But I know you can improve it everytime you do! :) No offense to everything I've said. But that's an encouragement, good luck to you! ~ ^^

I actually kind of like my hero design. The fakemon I will fix a lot. The boxart is more of art than a Sprite so it looks a little sloppy. Vamvrat is supposed to be a bat. That's why he has the candy like wings. I didn't think he looked too bad. Thanks for the advice though, I'll make sure the fakemon look nicer

I'm gonna have to side with everyone else here, nice game, nice plot, but, the sprites need work, the maps look promising, try and fix them up though. However, between us, you, at your age is MUCH more advanced than I was, when, I was 14/15, let's just say, I tried to make my own Pokemon hack, using Powerpoint and MS Paint, where I only had access to a GBA emulator and a few roms.

Try and draw your designs, on paper, scan them and ask someone to sprite them for you, draw your maps, that will help you, with me, my mapping came randomly out of the blue, but, if you have an idea for your maps, go ahead and draw them to have something to work off of, rather than trying to remember your ideas.

Thank you for the advice. The fakemon I'm working on and there's a tiny bit of work I have to do on the maps

So far, a lot of fakemon are done, I have nearly all the maps done and I'm thinking I might add more. So should the beta end at the second gym or the third?

If you have everything leading to the third gym done why not :)
I'm interested in seeing what your hack has to offer.

Sorry, I have to put this hack on hold. My computer broke and until I find way to backup my work on a new one, this hack won't be out until at earliest may or June or later.

The fakemons look so good i think its the best i ever seen

He's 13 and he has no experience doing sprites! It's logical they aren't good! Just don't laugh at him, this is the type of message that irritates me, c'mon, he said he will improve that, just encourage him if you want to post, and for saying what you said just don't post! It's very easy to laugh at people when you are relaxed sitting at home with your mobile phone or computer or whatever you use, uh?

Mastamilo, don't listen to him, just do your best, and good luck!
