Well, we are coming to the end of 2008. One special thing for me on this year was for sure the creation of this project, Pokemon Uranium. A lot of things had changed since I created the game thread on Plot and Story forums on the mid of October, a lot has been improved as you all have seen.
Your support has been essential for this improvement, but probably what really helped me was my team, I would have already gave up without them ;p. I am sure that on 2009 things will get even better and more progress will be done, I'm making this update to we start the new year with good news. Also, there is a new person on the team as well! Everyone welcom Infernal Contraption, he will help with overworlds and also with fakemon descriptions, move suggestions etc!
~Screenshots
As some of you have noticed, my mapping got better with time, I think its time to show you some new screens (Also if you haven't noticed yet, this post background is made from totally unrevealed maps!)
(I know, there isnt anything new on this map, but I wanted to show some of the new dialogues of the game.)
(That one is from an alternate path on Route 01)
(A random part from the already known Route 03)
(Those are some parts of the long and beautiful Route 04...)
(Im showing this map to you see the new effect I get using two different tiles of water, I couldn't show it properly on the screenshots.)
~New Pokemon
Yes, I have some of those to show you! Our fakemon count is increasing quickly, PU spriters are working hard on them! Here are some of them:
FELENG [NORMAL]
This is a POKéMON that you do not want to mess with. Although FELENG is a very small and weak POKéMON, it can manipulate other POKéMON just by looking at them.
FELUNGE [NORMAL]
FELUNGE is well known for looking innocent, but it is an extremely intimidating POKéMON. FELUNGE has an incredibly high jump, or lunge. It able to exceed over 10 feet with a single jump. When FELUNGE senses danger, its lunge is very powerful, and deadly.
FELIGER [NORMAL]
Although FELIGER is a 4-legged POKéMON, it is known for standing on its hind legs to scare away the enemy. Some say that other POKéMON are scared of FELIGER because it looks like a DRAGON-type POKéMON when it is on its hind legs. FELIGER is an extremely vicious POKéMON, but may be tamed into a loyal POKéMON.
BAASHAUN [DARK]
Those pokemon are often found in groups of 20 or more and also are known for using its horns to hit its enemies.
BAASCHAF [DARK/FIGHT]
When BAASHAUN start standing in 2 feet, he evolves into BAASCHAF who is able to use his fists to fight.
~New Graphics
Those days I started messing around with the scripts and I managed to edit the the place of things on the battle boxes, I also managed to use pics instead of textbox. Here are some screens:
(As you see the exp bar is now at the same size as the HP one, also moved everything else from the original place)
(That new color theme is looking a lot better than what the old one was looking like, also, you can see the Move menu there.)
(Thats the new look of the Pokemon Screen, I had to change some things position to it fits the new background)
(Thats the new Pokedex, it isn't looking perfect at the moment, I still need to edit it a little bit.)
Thats all I planned to show you on this update, I hope you liked it. HAPPY NEW YEAR and good luck to everyone =p!
