WHY DOES THIS LOOK SICK

The first comment in this thread pretty much sums it up. Unique and super impressive. I really like the fakemon art. Awesome stuff!
Nice work man, I loved Spectrobes back in the days but I haven't played it ever since. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

It was definitely an old nostalgic gem for me too :)Those games still hold up for me as a fan, and hopefully this hack gives the same energy to people who are more pokemon-accustomed

Thanks for the level data! They were roughly where I expected the player to be, but maybe a little higher ;)Thanks for the playing the whole demo :D
I'll probably set up a discord since people seem to be mildly interested
This is actually really creative. I am curious to see how this progresses over time. Good luck my dude!
P.S: Really clean character mugshots you've got going there!

Finally dropped my mixtape Venting session vol. 2! This mixtape is deeply personal to me as the 4 tracks touch up on themes such as Mental health, parental upbringing etc. Do consider tuning in!

Thanks! Great to see some people who aren't Spectrobes fans trying out the hack!P.S: Really clean character mugshots you've got going there!
Updates: Currently working on minor bug fixes.
Alright, minor bug fixes are done and this demo is complete, assuming no one else reports any bugs. Download has been updated (save files will always be compatible). I'm gonna start working on the next content update soon.
Speaking of reporting bugs, I've also set up a Discord Server. Please join it if you want to follow the project!

I was a fan of Spectrobes too and didn't know why it just faded into obscurity, and this looks amazing :D
Links have been updated to V0.22, a bug hotfix. Users on the Discord reported the game crashing when Naguryu's move Nagunokk was in battle. This only affected ancient emulators like VBA, but it's been fixed nonetheless.
It's so nice to see some unique tilesets instead of more of the "HGSS graphics forced into GBA hardware" stuff.
Thanks haha. The "unique" tilesets here are probably more from a lack of pixel art skill on my part but I'll take the compliment regardless :p

Haven't been updating this topic much, but here are the child and adult form Spectrobes planned for the next content update!
As usual, the best place to follow for development updates is the discord.
This looks incredible!
I saw the title and wasn't expecting to see much but maybe the concept but what you have already looks so polished and clean! Can't wait to try it out myself! Awesome work!
Loved playing the first spectrobes on my old DS lite!

I'm glad it looks polished :) The actual content currently in the demo is certainly short (< 2 hours), but I definitely made the conscious effort to focus on polishing up what we have as much as possible instead of rushing through development. Now it's just a matter of time till we get the whole game in there!
Hope you enjoy the demo and it gives you the same feelings as the original DS game :D

Honestly with all the designs from a foreign game/series it would be easy for things to stick out and not look quite right but everything looks like it fits really nicely so I'm sure you made an effort to make sure everything looks so polished and it shows!I'm glad it looks polished :) The actual content currently in the demo is certainly short (< 2 hours), but I definitely made the conscious effort to focus on polishing up what we have as much as possible instead of rushing through development.

I will definitely return to this thread after I have played the demo! :))
ahh I hope so too, super excited to play it!

On the topic of mixing in things from a foreign game, this seems like a good opportunity to post a development update that was on the discord a while ago (definitely more frequent updates over there than here).
I've decided on a way to fill the equipment void! It didn't feel right to not even mention these fairly iconic weapons:
Spoiler:
I joined the discord so will definitely keep up with the project there too! Although I'm not super active usually on discord!
The way you're implementing the equipment looks great too btw!

I am so excited for this! I had completely forgot about Spectrobes. My little brother bought them but could never beat them and would give them to me to beat them for him when I was in 10th grade. They were amazing games. Found this thread and immediately sent it to him and he is also excited. Going back and replaying them now. Cant wait to see the progress. This will be amazing!
