[Developing] Project Prism

KurisuSan · Jun 6, 2016

PROJECT: PRISM
Projected DEMO Release Date: October

INTRODUCTION:

Codenamed: Project Prism is a fangame made using RPGMaker XP and the Pokemon Essentials base. Project Prism was originally Pokemon Ultralite that was being made as a ROM Hack, but while there are a lot more freedom, the memory restrictions were too much for the amount of space that was needed for what was planned for the game. While working on the story I talked to a friend of mine who is a really good graphic artist and he soon joined on board with me on the project and we entered development shortly afterwards. I've been a fan of Pokemon since it was released in the USA and have been a fan since then. Having grown up playing all forms of RPGs I've sort of drifted away from Pokemon simply because of the lack of a story to help immerse myself in. This is where I decided to create a game. Project Prism is only a placeholder, the actual name of the game, which we have named is still being kept a secret and we will release it when the BETA is about to be released.

STORY:

Spoiler:

Welcome to the Lyros Region. A new region that the Pokémon League has been terraforming for their expansion by bringing breeders from around the world to help diversify the population of Pokémon in the region. However without a law of the land, poaching became a quick avenue for criminals to make money. The Pokémon League quickly established the Gym system in hopes of taking care of this problem and it has since then been removed from public eye, however there are rumors that a mysterious organization is still operating from within the region. The League introduced the plan to build an academy in Lyros in hopes of raising the bar of budding trainers and usher in plans for new more competitive battles between trainers. They brought in an esteemed name in the Pokémon Community, Professor Mulberry to head the project and help in the development of these trainers. Hundreds of aspiring trainers applied to the PokéCademy, but no more than 3 dozen kids were accepted to take the entrance exam. Our journey begins with our main character and his best friend Neil preparing to take the entrance exam. Out of the 3 dozen kids, only a handful were accepted and taken into the PokéCademy. After years of studying, taking mock battles, and learning all that is known about Pokémon, the class had reached the end of their journey through the academy and were about to graduate. Before graduating however, our young hero has to make a daunting choice of choosing between taking up the League's call and challenging the Gym Leaders and Elite 4, or to accept an offer and join the Pokémon Investigative Agency...

Marcus decides to become a PIA and his first task is to familiarize himself with the Lyros Region as he has never been past Meadow's Village. His task while familiarizing himself is to inspect each of the 8 Gyms and evaluate their leader and their practices to make sure that they are doing what they're expected and designed to do. On his way while doing so he uncovers a plot and learns about this Mysterious Organization that has been pulling the strings of various terrorist organizations around the world and that their base of operations is located within the Lyros Region...

Secret Pokémon:
Around Lyros you will encounter a total of 16 Pokémon that you will never meet anywhere else. There is only one chance to catch these Pokémon and if you K.O. run away, or fail to otherwise capture them, you will never get another chance. These Pokémon are hidden behind puzzles that require HMs to get to. Each hidden area will require two HMs to reach two different Pokémon. Meaning there are 8 secret areas and you'll use one HM to get to the first Pokémon and then beyond said Pokémon is another area that will require a different HM to reach the second Pokémon. Some routes only require one HM per Pokémon, however some require you to reach the second Pokémon with a combination of both HMs. Note that all these Pokémon are considered to be Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon so as such they weren't made available for capture in the wild. All these Pokémon will appear just like a legendary Pokémon and will start a battle by talking to their overworld sprite. Come prepared and save beforehand.

Spoiler:

Legendary Events:
All Legendary and Mythic Pokémon, aside from Enjyva is available after beating all 8 Gyms. All have quests associated with them and are only available once. Each encounter has been level scaled to match that of when they are encountered from previous games as well.

Please note that a lot of this is based off their own origins as well as their portrayals in the anime, manga, and other media outlets.

Features:

All 721 Pokémon - Every Pokémon is in the game, however 250 are only available through in-game events, more on that later. All have Gen V front, back, shiny, shiny back sprites, Overworld sprites, Gen VI cries, and gen VI types and movesets.
HGSS Follower - bringing back one of my favorite features and that is having your lead Pokémon follow you around.
Intricate and Deep Story - One of the biggest things that I felt was missing from Pokémon was a story. We have decided to give our hero a voice, choices to be made, and different outcomes for a lot of scenarios in the game. The story is similar to a very watered down version of any Bethesda game where we give your options and you create the story.
Two Game Options - There is a pivotal choice in the beginning of the game where you choose what you want your character to do as he graduates from the PokéCademy of choosing between becoming a regular trainer or joining the PIA. Both options allow you to fully explore the region, capture pretty much all the Pokémon, defeat the Gyms and Elite 4 and become Champion, however it's only through joining the PIA that you will get any of the story elements to show up. Choosing the trainer option will make the game behave as it would a regular Pokémon game where your trainer is for the MOST part a silent trainer.
Player Housing - Mostly just a money sink, but during our hero's adventure, he is given the option to purchase an old and abandoned house. Through further interactions and purchases, he is able to restore the house and help create himself a home where he can train his Pokémon, heal them, purchase items that aren't on sale anywhere else in the game, and much more.
Tons of side quests and secret areas to explore - As stated above, 250 Pokémon are only available through in-game events that are set up as side quests. There are 40 Pokémon you can receive from a trade with another trainer, there are 8 secret areas that require you to solve a puzzle around HMs to get to 2 Pokémon in each area, there are 60 secret areas hidden around all the towns, cities, villages, caves, etc that house a person who will give you a Pokémon for free, 3 Pokémon are received for completing specific events in the game and are awarded to you by your parents, there are 31 quests revolving around the 52 legendary Pokémon, 39 secret dungeons to explore and capture a pre-generated shiny Pokémon, and 50 breeders who offer you an egg to hatch. Please note that all of the Pokémon that are found this way are NOT available for capture in the region.
Day and Night System - Capture different Pokémon depending on the time of day, each day is around 35 minutes long.
Updated BGM
3 New Evolutions - There are different starters this time around and each of them have been balanced and their base stats raised to match that of the regular starts as well as added a 3rd evolution for all three of them. Set up alternate evolution methods for Pokémon that require trades. Keeping the trade items, they'll be used to evolve the Pokémon on level-up.
2 New Legendaries - Two legendaries have been created for the story and for the Region, more information will be released about them as we finish up the game.
Increased Difficulty - Have increased the skill of the trainers as well as how strong their Pokemon are. All Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members have Pokemon with 3 Perfect IVs, perfect EVs, and competitive movesets, and held items. Expect random trainers to have stronger Pokemon as well in the same manner as the Gym Leaders.
Battle Circut - Scattered around the Lyros Region, a multitude of tournaments are being held in preparation of the Pokemon World Tournament. Once a player has a win in each of the tournaments and has received the cup for said tournament, he may attend the PWT and attempt to be hailed as the best trainer on the planet. Each tournament has it's own set of rules and regulations. They can be found listed below.

Spoiler:

NOTE:Pokemon from lower tournaments may be used in higher tournaments but not the other way around. I.E. You may use any Pokemon from the Challenger's Cup or lower in the Ace's Cup but you may not use any Pokemon from the Master's Cup in the Ace's Cup.

NOTE:If a Pokemon isn't on this list, it means it's an intermediate Pokemon or a middle evolution and will be available for use in the Rookie Cup and on.

NOTE:Pokemon that are Restricted in the Little Cup but aren't listed otherwise are available for use in the Rookie Cup and on. I.E. Meditite is listed as restricted but not listed elsewhere and is available in the Rookie Cup, however Gligar is listed as restricted but is listed as available in Veteran Cup, and is available for use there and on.

NOTE:If you are curious as to how each Cup is defined by what Pokemon are available all information is available on the Smogon website as that is where I defined each Cup based on the Tier in which each cup is based upon. Additionally, some Pokemon's placement is changed depending on their Mega Evolution's placement. I.E. Smogon lists Diancie as part of the Rookie Cup but Mega-Diancie as part of the Master Cup. This listing has just set it up so Diancie is part of the Master Cup. All Mega Pokemon have been modified this way as well.

Beat all 7 Battle Brains to receive a Silver Medal and receive the Battle Pass which allows entrance to the grand opening of the new Battle Frontier Island. Defeat all 7 Brains again to receive Gold Medals to receive a reward from Scott. In addition, certain evolutionary and forme change items are only avaialable through the Battle Frontier.
[*]Open World - That's correct, travel all the way from the beginning of the game to the very end of the game and challenge any of the Gym Leaders in any order you desire. The only note is that they will have set Pokemon levels, meaning if you challenge the final Gym Leader Amee first, she will have the same Pokemon levels as if you challenged her last. Catch Pokemon and battle trainers along the way as well, nothing can get in your way. Develop a full team of your choice before challenging the Gym Leaders or follow the order in which it is designed. Please note that this is ONLY if you choose the Trainer option. Due to the elements within the story and how it progresses this feature will break the game's story and plot elements.
[*]Secret Encounters - Wandering around the region you will run into familiar faces, these trainers are extremely powerful and will appear to challenge the new Champion of Lyros.

This is looking pretty good. The story sounds interesting, the features sound pretty interesting.
My sole suggestion would be to possibly lessen the space between the trees. It looks almost like you can walk between them, which probably isn't the best thing to have mapping-wise.

Thanks, yeah I've been planning this story for over a year, fine tuning it and combing through it over and over lol, now that I am back in development it's progressing nicely. As far as the trees go, they're 3x3 tiles and making them any wider would look weird, also there are secret areas in which you can enter through the trees, which is why I didn't try to make them closer spacing, but looking at it after you have said something it does look like there is a lot of space.

I added two videos showing off both the Pokedex as well as a very early version of the opening scene between you and "Mulberry" haha I really hope my artist is almost done with him so I can get them implemented. Also did a little bit of editing on the MP as well as adding some more information.

Hello this is SetsunaF I'm doing character designs and other sprite stuff so I'll be posting here as much as I can with those things.

immacksg · Jun 16, 2016

This is looking really cool! There's only one minor complaint I have...
Uhm... Well, in your description, you state that you're using Rpg Maker VX and the Pokemon Essentials Kit.
Well, you're using Rpg Maker XP, as VX doesn't have a Pokemon Essentials Kit. It's just a minor complaint that I have, seeing as I've used thousands of hours in Rpg Maker VXA and MV...
Sorry!

Thanks to this great man right here I noticed that he was right, after thinking on how to fix it, I finally figured it out, updated the OP with the new pictures to show the updated method of displaying the tree barriers. Thanks a lot dude.

Thanks for finally posting in the thread XD mind if I show off your amazing work on the final evolution of our MC's starter?

Hahah thanks for pointing that out! Updated the OP and changed it from VX to XP >.<

Alright! Sorry for the long time in between updates, work has been CRAZY plus my fiancee is pregnant so we have been going to a lot of doctor visits and looking at baby stuff! Exciting times lol. But worry not because progress has NOT slowed down in the bit. We are currently up to the city with the first gym. Currently we are sitting at 62 maps, including all the floors inside buildings. I'm actually going to need some people to help test the first wave of the Alpha up to the first gym because as of the moment I need to make sure I'm not going to overpopulate the routes and areas with trainers to cause leveling too fast. I'll post when I am ready so do NOT post saying you want to test yet. Most likely in the next coming weeks.

Setsuna and I have finished spriting the final evolution for our MC's starter, I won't reveal what he looks like but I will release his name and typing: Gwyllerra and is a Fire/Rock typing.

Also have added to the list of features in the game! There is going to be a Battle Circut, which is simply just tournaments and will be similar to how online competitive battles work where you have restrictions on which Pokémon can participate in the tournaments. All of this is leading up to the Pokémon World Tournament! Also added a Battle Frontier. Unfortunately I cannot find any BF tiles already made so I'll have to make most of them from scratch myself, so if anyone has all the outside tiles I would greatly appreciate it. There's also something similar to the Karate Master you fought in RBY that gave you Hitmonchan/lee and this time it's a trio of brothers, defeat their dojo challenge for some great rewards. Last but not least, we have announced that this will be as open world as we can possibly get it. This essentially means you can go all the way to the final gym without beating any other gyms and can challenge them in any order you desire. Due to the limitations it doesn't mean they will use Pokémon that are lower level. Creating 8 variations of 6 variations of Gym Leaders would be 512 different trainers simply associated with the gyms, which is waaaay too much, but you will be able to go all the way to the final gym and catch any Pokémon along the way.

Updated part of the Story, not much I can reveal as of yet, still a lot to develop lol. Also I changed some coding around the Gym Leaders and members of the Elite 4 to help break up the text.

Thanks for everyone taking time out of their day to check out the game and leave their comments, I greatly appreciate it.

The new maps look amazing. And ooooh the trees. They look so pleasing on the eyes.

I'm almost jealous of your drive and ability to actually work on your game, especially with everything you have going on. I have almost everything in order and an amazing plot yet I can hardly work on my game for more than fives minutes at a time. I've just had no motivation or anything. Heck, I've even ended up helping other people with their projects before even finishing mine.
I can't tell whether it's procrastination or me not liking to make events.

That being said, this project is looking pretty good, and I'd love to see where exactly this goes.

I put in around 30-40 hours a week on making this game myself, Setsuna logs a lot of hours designing and then scrapping and then redesigning, he has to deal with a lot because of my perfectionist mentality and he's the same way so even though I gripe at him about something minor he already knows that it needs fixing lol xD. Like with you mentioning those trees hahah it took me like 2 hours to try and figure out how to layer them properly and still be able to create them fast enough and then another 8 hours to fix like the 7 overworld maps that I had that had a ton of trees lol.

I know exactly what you mean, I think I took like 4 days last week and didn't look at the forums, didn't open up RPGM or anything, I just took myself a small break and avoided it because I had been putting in so much work over the past couple weeks that I was losing all of my drive. I've gained a lot of it back, I think I logged like 28 hours over the weekend and Setsuna logged around 12 I believe, we are definitely pushing it and pushing it hard lol.

Honestly I had to make myself start working on it again and once I did that drive and motivation just started in overdrive lol xD what do you need for your game? Maybe I can help with some progress and help ya get that motivation back, nothing helps get me fired up more than progress lol.

KurisuSan · Jun 28, 2016

Alright, MASSIVE update lol

Updated the WIP for Eriford, we are finished you can take a look under the media tab!
I also created a working elevator using the HGSS tiles so that's pretty exciting hahah.

Revealed all the quests regarding the Legendary/Mythic Pokemon. They can be found in the Story section as a lot of them also deal with the actual story itself, enjoy the read.

Revealed the Secret areas Pokemon, also in the story section, not much of a read but if any of those Pokemon are ones you want, you may wanna look there.

Announced the mysterious organization Kurayaminonakade Akuma which is Japanese for the "Demon in Darkness" which is an accurate description of what the mysterious group actually does. They hide behind the Akuma Corp. and are the puppetmasters of the other terrorist organizations. They were the ones behind Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, Plasma, and Flare. As such you are going to be going up against members of all groups, OH BOY! We went this route that way it isn't ALWAYS this team's grunts or that team's grunts you battle throughout the game. This way you have some variety and it'll always be a mystery as to which teams will behind what is going on in the story.

Also I released the teams of the Gym Leaders and that of the Elite 4. I haven't given out levels yet but I probably will in the future. Additionally I've updated the credits list, still not complete lol there is a huge list of credits for this game haha.

Finally I want to announce that we are going to be accepting 4 people for the first wave of ALPHA TESTING!!!!!

If you are interested I am going to need you to copy the form and fill it out and PM me. DO NOT POST IN THE FORUM THAT YOU WANT TO TEST!
for question 3 please answer with 2 different numbers between 2-5. There is a particular reason for this and will be explained if you are selected for the alpha testing.
1. How old are you?
2. How Long you've been playing Pokemon?
3. How many Pokemon do you want to train?
4. What initially drew you Project Prism?
5. Are you willing to make multiple passes through the same content repeatedly?
6. Have you privately tested other games before?
6-1. If so which ones and what was expected of you?
7. Do you understand that if you test this you wont be eligible to test another stage of the Alpha?
