Stygian Snakewood is a remake of the infamous classic ROM hack Pokémon Snakewood. Follow the saga of the younger sibling of Brendan in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, facing interesting foes, meeting zombified Pokémon and trainers and trying to solve the mystery of your brother's disappearance and the origin of the zombie plague. This wacky mixture of horror and comedy packed with needless edginess and surreal humor, now with a new look and feel!
Features:
- Overhaul of the zombie Pokémon: Most zombies are from the new Plague-type (previously named Disease, renamed due to UI issues) with its own type chart, and they are finally catchable! To do so you're inclined to use a Necro Ball. Furthermore, they're unable to switch out but to compensate they deal 30% extra damage compared to regular Pokémon! [subject to change]
- New designs and Pokémon: Some previously unavailable Pokémon such as Toxeon or Healmadio are available, furthermore many Pokémon have been added, from new zombies to evolutions or pre-evolutions of vanilla Snakewood Fakemon and even some regional/mutated forms!
- Focus on rebalance: Many Pokemon have had their movesets, evolution requirements, stats or abilities changed. The dex was frequently adjusted and morphed in order to make sure every Pokemon can do at least one thing of unique.
- Relatively high difficulty: Besides having a much improved Battle AI, Stygian Snakewood has two difficulty modes, Vanilla and Lunatic. Vanilla intends to have a similar power level to the original game, which already is considerably harder than the vast majority of fangames while Lunatic puts it to the extreme. Despite it, there's a good care to make sure the battles feel beatable and that your options are viable.
- QoL abundance: Stygian Snakewood features many additions in order to make the gameplay experience feel smoother and faster. Ranging from increasing the Shiny chance to ~1% and 5 Stages of Speed Up to a completely custom EXP system in which there is a drastic increase or reduction of Exp gain based off the level difference, making for a self-adjusting level curve.
- Revamps galore: As a remake, Stygian Snakewood plans to build of many aspects of the original as such will feature a new redesign/higher quality for almost every single Fakémon and character, Physical/Special split, Gen 4 Style, minor rewrites, extra side-content and more!
POSITIONS WANTED by order of priority:
- Spriter/Concept Artist (lot of redesigns)
- Mapper (almost every single map needs some sort of tweak they're so bad...)
- Scripter
- Composer (mostly for little remixes of Hoenn soundtracks to make them more eerie.

Final note: It's recommended that you're a fan of the original Snakewood, it ain't for everyone. Also I'm very awkward and I struggle to talk to people, so be patient if you decide to join.
