    [PokeCommunity.com] - Misc Engine - Pokémon Valley (Open World Unreal Engine 5) Development Team Recruitment

    Pokémon Valley Dev team recruitment is open!!! Hello! I am ShadowCyndaquil, Creator and Game Director for "Pokémon Valley", as well as owner of the Pokémon Youtube channel "The Oofies".

    (Current Logo is a placeholder and is subject to change in the final product.) (Currently gameplay examples are unavailable, and will be added in this thread as progress is made)
    _____


    The "Pokémon Valley" project is an open world game, aiming to perfectly blend Pokémon with the open world genre, and be the ultimate Pokémon experience for new and old fans of the series.

    The game is made with hardcore players, and casual players alike in mind. Competitive battler? This is for you!!! Battles not your preferred activity? No worries! There is something for everyone!!!

    This game is developed with Unreal Engine 5 and is planned to be released publicly for PC. This project will feature online communications with other players worldwide and will provide many forms of seasonal events for players to enjoy!

    ______________________________________________________


    *Project Details*


    This project does not use any devkit similar to things such as "Pokémon Essentials" or "SDK". Rather, the development team to develop a replica of the modern Pokémon battle system from the ground up. Allowing for easier development access for new content and allow the team to collaborate on recreating the iconic battle system. This will preferably be done with UE5 Blueprints, with the end goal being a battle system that functions exactly to the one used in mainline Pokémon games.

    Project is currently in early developmental stages. Project outline is finalized.

    Needed - UE5 Programmers, Asset creators, 3D Modelers (preferably with experience with texture mapping and armature rigging), 3D Animators. Concept Artists, (ref sheets, location concepts, key art, and assets), Character designers, and map and environment designers. Preferably all Pokémon fans who wish to be a part of creating something incredibly immersive and ambitious.

    *Features*

    Due to the sheer amount of content planned for this title, as well as wanting to reveal certain elements in gameplay showcase, only a small fraction of the content will be revealed here. However, members of the development team will be given full access to the entirety of the title's contents. (Some contents also would contain spoilers for the story of the game)


    Just a small handful of key features :

    • Complete National Pokedex from Bulbasuar to Pecharunt, and beyond with new original forms and Pokémon.
    • No limits on exploration or story progression. The Journey has complete freedom from the beginning.
    • All gameplay mechanics from past generations co-existing together.
    • A new unique gameplay mechanic "Spirit Assist"
    • HM Overhaul! Allowing Pokémon to behave off of their species traits, rather than moves or Gym badge requirements. (Many unique effects exist that are also not HM related)
    • Online Co-op up to 8 players at a time.
    • Dynamic trainer customization
    • Unique side quests & chance events throughout the world. There is something to do everywhere you go.
    • Multiple Gamemodes including, but not limited to, Racing, Raids, Missions, Pokeathlon, Themed catching contests, Classic Pokémon Contests, and more! All are intended to be used with, and without co-op communication
    • A modernized PSS, designed to allow global communications without a co-op session. Including a "Battle Spot" for special community competitions.

    Why the name Pokemon Valley what role does Valley play? or is this also a placeholder
    Click to expand...
    The Title Pokemon Valley is the finalized name of the game and will not be changed.

    The role of Valley is the region and location itself. The region is based in Central Utah! The Valley being focused on the present-day Lake Bonneville.

    The region isn't exclusively limited to purely central landmarks, as it takes inspiration from all areas of Utah with mountainous landscapes inspired by the Wasatch Mountains surrounding the location.

    "Valley" is about more than the location itself too, as it plays a large part in the story of the games. The location also inspiring many of the new Pokémon and forms in the game.
