Pro-tip: Don't name your group after a weapon that murdered a quarter of a million people.

The Manhattan Project wasn't the atomic bomb, but the underground group formed during the arms race.
Victini, a Fire-type Victory pokémon filled with "Infinite Energy" that always sports Churchill's "V for Victory" and lives in an underground bunker off the coast of New York, is clearly an official representation of this.

Well no, the manhattan project was quite literally, the name given to the overall project of the US creating an atomic Bomb.

As well as Victini's basis has nothing to do with that. It's based on the peace sign meaning "Victory" in Japan, thus why Victini itself is doing the peace sign with both hands and has the "V" motif.

Nonetheless if your fine with the blatantly disrespectful name(much less with the added insult of the goal being the replicate a game made by a company based in Japan), suit yourself. I won't press you any further on it.

This is a pretty neat engine, and with some time and hard work, you'll definitely surpass the DS-themed versions of Essentials!

There are some menu glitches, however:

  • The HGSS pause menu doesn't appear at any resolution other than 1x.
  • The menus are all offset from the top screen, and they don't even fully appear in the Trainer Card's case.
  • Pokémon stat menu only takes up half of both screens at this point, making it really hard to see in 1x.
Anyway, will there be a one-screen only mode in the future just in case you can't fix any of the above?

Perhaps a desktop single screen version could be made, but these are all simple fixes.
The menus all need new UI for this engine.
The demo was intended to just showcase controls and compatibility

Update:
Much progress is being made
Here's our new title screen for our Gen IV release!

I'm also starting the process of putting together our Gen V build. This will still come after our open source release of the 4th gen engine.

Fixed that for you.

Anyways, those pics are looking pretty good. I have some questions though.
1) Is DittoWare a fork/modification of Pokémon Unity?
2) What's the difference between both projects?
3) Will DittoWare be newbie-friendly? If so, by how much?
4) Will the team behind it bother in making the engine as up-to-date by default as possible or they're gonna leave that to the user?

EDIT: Ohkay, it definitely looks and feels like a fork of Pokémon Unity, but aiming towards a more NDS~y feeling. Not a bad thing though.
One bug that I found right away is that Pokémon Unity's shortcut to bring up the old menu (the A letter of my keyboard) is still working and it looks bugged af, just like the rest of the menus.

Not only that but the Touch Screen isn't working at all. I'm trying to click on any of the buttons to access the Pokémon Menu, the Pokédex and such, but it's simply not working.

Also, the Screen Size option inside the Options Menu doesn't work, you can only play it in Windowed Mode at 1x resolution or in Full Screen, which kinda sucks.

At the very least it runs just like Pokémon Unity, performing perfectly fine even on a sad Intel Celeron N2840 with 2GBs of RAM.
I'm going to bookmark this thread and keep up with the news, hoping for it to get better.
Good luck!

AAAAnd that explains the poor state of this first release, I guess. Nvm me then, I'll look forward to the next updates.
