This is a game where you're able to roam across a region, battling and training your Pokémon how you want, spending time catching all 600 monsters or perhaps completing quests and tasks in the many towns and cities you'll discover. If you've ever played Oblivion, that's what we're aiming for: you can be a Nondrick or a Champion but there's no obligation to be either. Welcome to Freedom.
The Region
The region is based on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It's a large, varied island, much like Hoenn, and has many towns and cities full of quests.
The Plot
The Triad are a band of criminals that operate in regions in and around Luzon. Its leader is getting old and is planning to leave and retire to spend time with his family. However, this creates a power vacuum and several groups of thieves within the Triad form and compete for power. Will you take sides? Can you help to destroy it entirely? Time will tell.
Features
We're building the game using a custom engine made in Unity 3D by our programmer Christopher. It will be in a similar style to Black and White, with pseudo-3D overworlds.
There's no obligation to complete the Triads quest whatsoever. In fact, you don't even have to beat the Elite 4. If you want to spend time travelling and completing the Pokedex without ever setting foot inside a gym, that's fine. It's an open world in every sense. Quests are almost always optional, so you can choose how you want to play.
There is a new battle mechanic called "Senses" which replaces accuracy with five different variables: sight, sound, smell, touch and aura. Each Pokemon has a different combination of perceptions, which can make some moves more accurate and some barely hit at all. For instance, Uproar will be most effective against Pokemon with acute hearing like Exploud, while Flash will have no effect on a blind Pokemon like Zubat.
If you'd like more details just shoot me a PM.
I will add more information soon.
Are you looking for members?
We're looking for anyone who's committed, smart and, preferably, bored enough to spend time discussing ideas and working on the game. We're obviously interested in people with mapping or spriting talents, but if you don't have them and are willing to learn, we'd be more than happy to give you a shot. Timezones aren't too important, so long as you're available on MSN at some point in the day.
To apply, just send me a PM or add my MSN address: niknaks_home at hotmail.co.uk
You could even join the forum linked in my signature and contact me there if you'd prefer.
