Team Name: Sapphire Game Productions

Projects: Poket Monsters: Lunar Version, InuYasha: Scattered Jewel, Dragon Ball: Story

Team Leader: Rukiri(me)

Members:
- Omegas 7: Event Coder
- Rukiri: Pixel Artist, Level Designer
- Tyson: Event Coder
- Saphron: Pixel Artist

What we need is a few more level designers and a few event coders, we don't use RPG Maker. We use Express Game Maker. The coding and interface is close to the same as RMXP so it should be easy for event coders to transfer any rmxp code over.

As for level designers you'll be able to create any type of map at any tile size you wish and you have unlimited layers to work with.

In a parallel world to the Pokémon universe we're familiar with, Pokémon are rapidly starting to become a threat to society. The urbanisation of cities, and travelling across the region of Kanto becomes difficult when unknown numbers of monsters with seemingly magical powers hinders progress. In order to get by, the century-old practice of Soul Forging has been revitalised, allowing humans to convert the souls of Pokémon into tools, weapons, and other items; more effective than tools made from ordinary materials. While expensive, Pokéquipment has taken the entire world by storm, commercialised as a way humans can live free without fear of monsters.

But it's not so cut-and-dry. Soul-infused weapons are a prime target for the millitia, the government, and underground organisations. The High Councils across the regions of the country have tried their best to keep things in the balance, but something always slips through the cracks. On the other hand, individuals who find the extraction of souls cruel and abhorrent are becoming increasingly more vocal, and try to look for other methods to balance humans and Pokémon. But what happens when these philosophical differences collide?

At the same time, there's trouble brewing in Johto. Rooted firmly around a feudal political practice, the region refuses to adopt the govermental system of the High Council, and is starting to barricade itself from the rest of the country; not taking kindly to interlopers. If someone doesn't intervene and create a solution, there might be a civil war on their hands. Maybe the Kanto High Council can be mobilised to assist?

We follow the journeys of Blue - a charismatic thief from Pallet Town - and Gold, a hot-headed bodyguard drafted in from Johto; as their misson to do some research for Philosopher Samuel Oak gradually turns into an adventure embroiled in the wonders of Pokémon, a quest for peace, and the mysterious-yet-influential Guild Rokka.
Will they restore political peace to Kanto? Who's outlook on society is the one true answer? Only time will tell.

Introduction

Pokémon Spirit Chronicles is a game we've been working on for over a year and a half now. It's grown and taken shape quite a bit since its beginning, and we plan to make it the best game we possibly can.

One of the pictures that inspired us, drawn by Nishihara Isao.

The idea for this game came from a series of pictures drawn by a Japanese artist, Nishihara Isao. Ostensibly, it was his concept for a Pokémon MMO. When our group found it, we began brainstorming a game where things would be...a bit different from your average Pokémon game.

The Game

Pokémon Spirit Chronicles takes place before the creation of the Pokéball, and before the advent of most technology used in the normal Pokémon games. It's a much harsher, less friendly world than the one many are used to. When a parent tells their kid to stay out of the tall grass, they really mean it. Pokémon are not the calm beasts gamers are used to.

For individual people, the main way of keeping themselves safe from wild Pokémon while they travel is through the usage of Pokéquipment, weapons and armor forged with the captured soul of a Pokemon. These spirit-infused items gain experience and learn new moves through battle, and with up to 6 equippable by one person at once, the level of customization you have available is practically limitless.

An example of an Onix-forged Greatsword and Armor.

Tentacruel equipment.

Butterfree, Beedrill, Kabutops and Omastar equipment.

An example of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno's weapons and armor(doesn't display correctly on the page).

Conversations in the game will be held in a format similar to Disgaea, with portraits of the characters with various expressions appearing on the screen while text scrolls below. Above is an example of one of Blue's portraits.

Lavender Town

Viridian Forest

Welcome to the World of Pokemon

While I can't reveal _everything_, I can answer questions and post more stuff for you.

Contact

Our blog has more artwork, along with some more of the music we've made. If you'd like to apply to join our project (as we're always looking for talented people), you can fill out an application on our forums.

Recently, we've let a number of our staff go due to not keeping up with the project and such, so we could really use more people in pretty much every aspect.
Can you write? We could use you.
Can you draw? We could use you.
Can you compose? We could use you.
Can you program? We could REALLY use you.
So if you think you'd make a good addition to the project team, feel free to submit an application.

One last picture to wrap things up:

Kitty17794
presents...

This game is being made for my friends, a homage to a two year old roleplay we have on Invisionfree. This game combines Disney with Pokemon, two of the biggest fandoms ever. Master Yensid features as the good professor here. (From Fantasia, for those who do not know. Yensid is Disney spelled backwards, fun fact!) Maleficent has been using Pokemon to help in taking over the kingdoms of Fantasia. You, the player, must travel from land to land (the cities are the lands themselves. so each city features a different Disney film) such as Wonderland, Agrabah, Atlantica, Halloweentown, etc. As you journey to each land you uncover clues of Maleficent's plot... and train your pokemon for the inevitable fight against the Mistress of Evil herself.

Intro completed. Script in the works. Mapping for first two 'lands' complete. Disney gym leader/NPC sprites in the works.

I realize how hard it is to grab a full team for a game. Really, I'd be happy with simply finding someone willing to guide me when I have problems come up in RPG Maker. I've played with it a bit in the past, but have forgotten much of what I learned. I WANT to learn, so someone to "tutor" and guide me would be simply fabulous. But if there ARE people willing to team up with me to help further than this, I would be immensely grateful!

I'm in the US Eastern!
