Current progress made: I really want to revamp this game, and hopefully with others as well. The current version is about two hours long. It's a dark, emotional, and atmospheric adventure. I rushed it back then, and now, I want to try to make this light years better. I've learned a lot more over the last 3 years. If anyone is interested in helping out that would be great.

Preferred method of contact: Private message on Discord (Pichu123#0801), PokeCommunity, or Relic Castle
Additional information:

Why this project:
For awhile, I've wanted to create my own Pok?mon fan game but I never had an idea that inspired me to follow through. However, recently, I played Pok?mon rejuvenation which has a cast of well-written characters and diverse region w/ some cool battle mechanics.
This sparked my imagination to build a game kinda like it. I was also inspired by telltale games and undertale's storytelling where small decisions can affect the story drastically. I know this idea is pretty ambitious but right now I feel committed to this project.

Proposed plot: You are an orphan who was abandoned by your father for unknown reasons. There, you make a friend who eventually becomes your rival. One day, a mysterious man decided to adopt you. It is revealed that this man is the leader of the game's villain team. However, like Team Magma and Team Aqua, they have good intentions. Their goal is to punish those who seek to undermine the peace of the Telea region. Unfortunately, they use extreme measures to maintain peace (i.e stealing
Pok?mon from those they believe don't deserve them, murdering local criminals, brainwashing people to become better citizens). 5 years after your adoption, you shadow your mentors (team admins) on a mission to steal documents pertaining to a fashion company's inhumane treatment of staff and Pok?mon. At the scene, you come face to face with your rival, who has become a detective -in-training in the police force. He gives you the opportunity to leave the organization and join the police force.
At this point, you have the option of agreeing to his terms, or refusing, effectively beginning your journey as a trainer or someone who wants to make the world a more peaceful place at all costs.

TL;DR: player can choose to be a hero or anti-hero

Plans:
-modifying frozen status to let offensive moves "break the ice" and also act as a one-turn stasis
-make freeze more prominent in battle. Ex: Flash-Freeze: can freeze multiple targets
-sorry it's vague atm but new abilities and revamps of current abilities
-modifying field effects from Pok?mon rejuvenation(with permission of course)
-key item to access PC from anywhere
-iv stat manipulation (like vitamins to help boost that stat)
-maybe level scaling for all routes?

I am open to any feedback/support and understand if you decide to leave the project at any time. If you do decide to join, please leave me a DM either on Relic Castle or Discord (Pichu123#0801) and I will respond as soon I can.

Please feel free to ask any questions regarding this project, I will try my best to explain it.

Thanks for your consideration! :D

The creation team for the Dark Rising 3 fan game is seeking new members to assist the project in various fields of development. The following positions are in need at this time (please note: we are only looking for people with experience in making fan games)-

Scripter- Writing text and implementing events into the game.
Programmer- Advanced coding required for the game to function as intended and add creative mechanics.
Note: The two positions listed above are of most urgency.

Mapper- Designing layouts for in-game areas.
Tile Inserter- Inserting tilesets into the game and creating custom tiles.
Note: We are using 5th gen style tiles.

Animator- Creating an animated opening for the game.
Artist- designing creative visuals for the game such as the title screen and other custom images.

The development team currently has 14 members who each focus on their specific role and contribute to the project on a daily basis. We use discord to hold group discussions concerning the game and have fun banters about various topics.

The title of the game, as stated previously, is Dark Rising 3. It is the final installment in the popular Rom Hack series that will be developed using Essentials v17.1. Progression of the game has been slow due to conflicts arising from former team members that resulted in the project being restarted. Currently, we are looking at around 8% completion, but that percentage is expected to increase rapidly over the next three weeks.

Hey everyone, my name is Kevin, the "director" of the game! We are looking for spots!

The game is called Pokémon: Xi Arco, a retelling of the story from RBY and FrLg! More details are in the game's pokecommunity page!

What We Need:
~~~Sprite Artists: We are very low on sprite artists unfortunately. Our game is in the gen4 style(HgSs), but for battles it would be Gen5. So overworlds would be HgSs sprites and battle sprites(Pokémon, Trainers) would be Gen5.
~~~Scripter/Programmer: This is the area where we are really lacking. We would need someone who knows how to code and program since we're way behind on that section.

I know my post isn't flashy so sorry in advance xD Any help would greatly be appreciated!

The game overall is about 20% done. If you want more information DM me, or look at the game's page on here(the info is way better there than it is here!) Thank you!

POKEMON EVERRAIN​

This project has been in development for about two years now consisting of a team of two. My counterpart is responsible for concept art for all the new Pok?mon, Trainer classes and other newly added assets. Also most of the original Pok?mon assets get a rework as we want to give this Fangame a clear own and recognizable art style whilst still staying true to that Pokemon feeling.

Myself on the other hand is responsible for the storyline, general setting of the game, as well as coming up with over 170 new Pok?mon Designs, mechanics and moveset / stat changes for existing Pokemon. Additionally I will create a very own score for the game with great attention to detail. This for me is sort of the biggest and most exciting aspect as I can tie in my job as a Audio Engineer into this project.

Since both team members have a full time job development is done in late night sessions and holidays therfor we move at a somewhat slower pace but steadily.

What is done up to this point is a development plan (in my opinion one of the most important and yet so often overlooked things), the idea and Pok?dex entry for allmost all 170 new Pok?mon, drawn out and most often coloured concept art for around 90 of said Fakemons, a planned out region with a story script tied into it as well as the first routes and cities being mapped out.

Now some might see this as not far progressed but please bear in mind that we aim for a top notch quality and therfor spend countless of hours coming up with creative and exciting ideas for Fakemons that actually feel like they belong into the game and have some great backstories and links to the region as well as the lore of the game. The same goes with all the other content as well.

NOW COMING TO THE GAME IT SELF:​
It resembles a somewhat more adult and darker approach to the Pok?mon Franchise involving a meaningful plot driven storyline in a world where people and Pok?mon can be hurt and die. The goal is to give the player an emotional journey with less of the typical light childhood feeling of the normal games.
The region called Melodiam is being terrorized by a neverending rain threatening to flood the whole region. Food became rare and so has clean drinking water. Money has become almost worthless due to hyperinflation and most items can only be obtained by trading food or other items necessary for survival although all stores still accept money but obtaining enough money to actually have some value in your pocket is quite hard.
Such a bitter state the world is in of course brings up the worst in some people. Gangs and organised crime organisations are formed that try to get a monopole on food and water forcing people to work for them or pay them in whatever goods they desire to keep up their untroubled lifestyle. Their aim is also to get rid of most Pok?mon as they present a threat to their safety. No mafiosi wants a person fighting for the good let his Pikachu roast him after all.

You are a teenager that lost most of his fellow villagers as well as his family due to famine or illness. You remember reading about identical events that happend centuries ago and how a legendary Pok?mon together with a group of commited heroes changed the fate of Melodiam by stopping the neverending rain and overlooking the restabalizing of the society. You go out there in the search of said legendary Pok?mon and potential allies, fighting gangs, nature and starving Pok?mon.

This is all oft he story that I want to reveal publicly.​

In order to present this story in a meaningful and engaging way we plan to use an own tileset and graphics.

If all of this has made you curious and you want to get involved in the project message me on here, Discord (Feeniks#2485) or Skype (VarjoRR).​

WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR:​
? Pixel artist(s) to turn our concept art into assets to be used in the game and more importantly to create our own custom tileset
? Mapper(s) who can make Melodiam come to life in an unique and memorable style full with little details​
LATER IN THE PROCESS WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR:​
? Scripter who have the technical know how to make this great vision reality
? Web Developers who can help with setting up the Wiki for Everrain

Depending on the amount of work you are willing to put in and the speed you work at we can offer you payment. (To be discussed privately. All payment agreements will be made by contract to reassure both parties)

HERE ARE SCREENSHOTS OF THE PROJECT:​

Recruiting a team member -
  • Working title: Pokémon Stars
  • Team name: N/A
  • Team members: Just me at the moment
  • Positions being recruited for: Tile artist capable of making tiles in a custom style; someone capable of creating sprites for fakemon, NPC overworlds, trainer sprites... What I'm trying to say here is I'm looking for spriters
  • Current progress made: Programming wise, the foundations have been laid, and work on the main game (maps and whatnot) could begin... If I had tiles to map with (hence this post :P )
  • Screenshots unique to the game:
    Spoiler:
  • Preferred method of contact: On here, or Discord (@toby#8759, i'm on the PC discord if that helps)

As the game is based on Starbound, it would help if you have played it beforehand. This isn't a necessity , it just helps a lot for getting the style right.
If you're not a tile artist, spriter, concept artist or something like that, but still want to help, don't feel like you can't! It's just those positions are the ones I'm looking for the most, as the screenshots featuring the overworld show very well...
