[Vxpor]

Check out the Teaser Trailer Here!​

Pokémon Tabula Rasa, inspired by Reborn and Insurgence, is a story-driven fangame with 2 brand new regions!

​

Story
Before the events of Tabula Rasa, the main protagonist and their rival travel to a distant region while their home region's Pokemon League is being developed. When they discover that this new region doesn't have a current champion, the protagonist and the rival decide to battle each other for the crown. During the battle, the protagonist is finally "beaten" via an intentional hit which causes them to go into a severe coma. Years later, the protagonist wakes up from their coma and realizes that they've been taken in by Professor Oleaster and his apprentice, your rival. After some encouragement, the rival gets the protagonist to become a trainer once again to travel across the brand new Pokemon League in their home region that spans across both Anphelio and Pansperma

We are currently working hard on this game and would love some extra, decently-to-very devoted reinforcement in the following roles:

Spriters are very diverse so I will break it down into the following categories:

Trainers

- Trainer Sprites, Overworlds, Vs. Mugshots, etc.​

Pokemon

- Sprite/design (come up with) Regional Forms, Cut-Off (Not full body) Backsprites, some Overworlds, Icons, etc.​

Tiles

- Tiles/tilesets in a (Gen 4/5 style) for everything ranging from Routes and cities to the Elite Four rooms. These must be made with the RPG Maker format in mind (32x32)
- If you don't know what kind of style I am talking about, please message me for a better understanding​

Item Icons
- Sprite icons for items ranging from new Poke balls to HM Items and Mega Stones​

UI

- New UI, including but not limited to, Pokedex, Pause Menu, Pokemon Storage Box, and Minigames​

Large-Scale Pixel Art

Composers

- Compose custom tracks for Towns/Cities, POIs, Routes/Caves, Encounter/Character Themes, Battle and Victory Themes, Sound Effects, and Remasters of old tracks

- Must also have the ability to make tracks using Gen 4/5 Soundfonts those of which I can provide​

Ruby Scripters

- Scripters are tasked with coding new features, menus/UI, ability/move codes, adapting old scripts for new versions of Essentials, etc

- Scripters must be experienced in Ruby scripting​

Artists

- Artists will make concepts for Pokemon, items, trainers, and so forth

- They can also make storyboards for stuff like intros, cutscenes, promotional videos, etc​
