Ideas thread for The World Ends With You - Lanzhou (China)

[~Poke~]

Somehow the Title here doesn't change the proper one. I think...

Yes, this is my new hack, based off TWEWY. But I'm having
a few problems trying to figure out what to put in, mainly which features of
the original game I should have and what new features I should have, but
I also think the story isn't quite good enough I've just started learning
scripting, so if you want complicated things like mind scan, TWEWY style
battling then make sure someone can provide, because I probably
can't.​

Pokemon - The world ends with you
Lanzhou

Story

Three years after Neku escaped from
the Shibuya UG (underground), The Composer decided that
inhabitants of other cities should too deserve
a second chance at life. So he decided that he
would bring the UG to other cities. The first
city to gain it's own UG was a Chinese city
named Lanzhou. But the Noise he brought along
couldn't survive the pollution, so he decided
to combine them with creatures called "Pocket
Monsters" from a game he played when he was
eight.
Now ten years later you, at age 15, have died. You
are sent to the Lanzhou UG and your entry fee,
the thing you value most is your ability to
talk. Will you beat the game? Who knows...

Here's a map of the city.

I know how to show it here but there are 2 reasons why I'm not. If lots of people look at this page, the server with the pic has to upload it every time. It's also too big :)

Features
Fashion (from TWEWY) will be replaced by type effectiveness
(because Lanzhou isn't Shibuya and they're pokemon)
A big change
(like in Week 3 Day 3/4/5 (can't remember) and later from the original TWEWY)
Limited visibility
(Lanzhou is extremely polluted)
Choose from using 4 Pokemon, Yourself, or your partner in
battle
(What's a pokemon game without catching pokemon)
Pokemon, but a bit different...
(he decided to combine the Noise with creatures
called "Pocket Monsters")
2% chance to randomly get poisoned in battle
(Pollution)

Please suggest more features (not too complicated, someone has to do the scripting) and ways to improve the story.

I got some sprites made, assuming I'm using the Pokemon + Noise fusions. These aren't all of them, just some.

Don't be scared to comment... just because it says ideas thread doesn't mean it's just for me. I called it that because the scrapbox is "A place for members to jot down ideas for their hack"

Or do you just not know what The World Ends With You is? in Japan it was called "It's a Wonderful World" (Subarashiki Kono Sekai), so if that helped...

Well, comments help. A lot.

Hey, I'd love a game like this!
It's a great Idea Poke-random.
I've just started playing TWEWY myself, and I can only say one thing...
It rulez!
And your Poke-noise looks really well done too,
good luck on this ;)

 

[~Poke~]

Yay, I got the tiles in!
But thethethethe's tut for changing grass animation doesn't work on Ruby...

 

[~Poke~]

Ok, I got some sprites in.

I'm thinking of making some "mini-movies". I'll just make some pictures, put them in as a tileset, and try to set up some warping scripts.

You are dead during the entire game?

 

[~Poke~]

Yes, you are.

...Actually, after you beat it, you are alive, but you can still fight Noisymon because it's just boring without stuff.

Cool, wasn't sure if I had read it wrong.

Good luck!

Sounds pretty interesting. I don't know anything about the ...game?... you're basing it off of, though. Still, a new storyline is always interesting. Nice about the random poison. Do you know how to do it?

I'll probably just make a purple sandstorm. And here's a trailer for the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqK8xWQPU50&feature=related

So your game is based off that game. I like turn based battles, myself. So, while I wouldn't seriously consider playing that game, the concept is interesting enough somehow that with the pokemon/turn-based battling, I might play it out of curiousity. Anyway, if people wanted to play that game, they could just buy it. Makes more sense to me to do this the easy way. Then your game would be as hybrid as your pokemon, which also makes a kind of sense. ^^

 

[Flaps]

I could try to do some fusions for you. Sounds like an interesting game, one which I hope will turn out well. Good luck!

PM me if your interested in the fusions ^^

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

Don't get too discouraged, Poke, I think maybe part of the problem is that people here don't know about TWEWY. Also, it probably doesn't help that you put yourself down so much at the VERY BEGINNING of your post. It's okay to make it clear that you don't want to pushed around or have too much expected of you, but you have to have faith in your idea if you want anyone else to see its great potential.
Lots of luck. ^_~

Sounds pretty interesting.
I think the "Noisymon" idea is pretty awesome.
It incorporates pokémon without lessening the feel of the game it's based on.
And I feel the road tiles look a bit.. weird.
