Pokémon GoldenSky / SilverSea

[DaVince]

https://www.spheredev.org/~dnaproduct/site/downloads.html#GSSS - Releases.

Well, hello there, I am DaVince, and I create a fangame/remake of Pokémon Gold/Silver with a few other people in a team called DNA Productions. This project has been in the making, slowly, since around June 2005.



Features

• The GBA graphics are used, and the G/S/C exclusive graphics are revamped.
• There will be a new region called Erata-- it's north of Bill's old home!
• There are overall improvements and additions to the game.
• More storyline. This means the original storyline expanded, and new, smaller side-storylines.
• It wil feature about 50-100 of the third generation Pokémon, next to the G/S/C 251. There will be NO DS generation Pokémon and NO custom self-made Pokémon.

The Story
Well, since this is a remake of the Gold/Silver games, it will at least feature that original storyline. The story will be expanded a bit so there's more of a storyline in Kanto, though, and there will be a lot of side-stories (including one to get Celebii, and a Ruins of Alph expansion!).

The new region Erata story is still in development. But it will at least involve one evil team again, and since Erata is an islands region, water will be an important part of the storyline. Since Johto and Kanto are our current priority, not much of the Erata story and maps have been made yet, as you can see, so this is all I can tell you about the story of the game for now.



What are you making this with?
This game is being made with Sphere, the RPG creator faster and more flexible than RPG Maker (but also more difficult to use). The official site can be found on www.spheredev.org.



Team members

• DaVince (that's me): I'm the team leader and do one of the most difficult jobs: scripting the game. I also maintain the latest version of the game (and releases), and I'm doing additional misc work like mapping, ripping sprites etcetera. And next to that, I develop the storyline(s) and script it into the game.
• Jirachi - This guy makes maps, mostly Johto and Kanto ones-- and he's very good at it, too. Next to that, Jirachi makes all the new custom tile graphics (like Sprout and Radio Tower). He helps out with small stuff too, like finding information, placing people on the maps, testing new functions, stuff like that.
• DarkLeon is a mapper too, but he concentrates more on the inside maps, which means the interior of houses and caverns. DarkLeon will also be mapping the Erata region, but currently he's mapping Johto and Kanto stuff too.

Screenshots
Why, certainly! Here ya go.

Can I download and play?
Sure, but keep in mind that none of the releases are full games. We upload a new release of the game every once in a while for you to enjoy!

Things to be done before the next release comes out
Here's a list of things to do before next release. If the whole list is completed, the next release will come out soon afterwards. :)

Script

• New Pokémon system: done!
• New item system: half done!
• Data loading systems: almost done!
• Making the game run the same speed on any pc: half done, under constuction.
• New game saving/loading system: not started yet.
• Better movement system: still researching.
• GOOD battles: not started yet.
  
  Minor script stuff:
• Jumping and ledges: being worked on.

Game/story/maps

• Maps till Azalea town: not finished yet. Maps currently exist till Violet.
• Story progress till Azalea town: not finished yet. Current story goes on till Violet.

Can I help?
We'll let everyone know when we need help. Otherwise, we probably do not need help.

Since you seem to have 15 posts now, please post the screenshots.

 

[AmaranthProject]

This game was archived, but there was still some screens there.

More here https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=49336 too lazy to post it. ZZZZZZZ..........

 

[DaVince]

The ones you posted are like, REALLY old.

When the topic didn't pop up I thought something went wrong. Now my host is offline for maintenance. So I can't give any screenshots or links yet. :(

I'll update the first post anyway so you can see the screenshots when the host is back online.

 

[AmaranthProject]

Heck at least I saved your thread. =P

 

[DaVince]

Hm, I meant I wanted to wait with posting the topic then until my host is online again. But it doesn't matter, there's always the old topic for a few screenshots. :P

And thanks, of course, for saving the thread.

DaVince what happened to spheredev. I was shocked when i tried gettin on there earlier lol.

-Waudby-

 

[AmaranthProject]

Yeah is it down or something?

DaVince what happened to spheredev. I was shocked when i tried gettin on there earlier lol.

-Waudby-

Yeah, it will be down for a few days.
I'll quote the email I got from one of the Spherical admins:

Hi DaVince,

Spherical is up for renewal again early next week. Every year, our host
manages to do something to cause downtime, and so I strongly suggest
that you make backups in case of data loss (make backups today if
possible).
I'll backup everything I can, but can't guarantee anything. If anyone
is unable to backup themselves, tell me, and I'll make your account a
priority (similarly, if you have backups, please tell me). If and when
I make a backup of your subaccount, I'll post it here:
https://www.spheredev.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1374

I highly doubt we'll lose anything (Spherical has been running for
three years without any data loss), but I'd still like to be prepared, just
in case. We may experience some downtime (all of my other accounts with
the same host were renewed a few months ago, and had problems with DNS
settings; I hope this problem has been resolved, but if the domain
becomes inaccessible, you should still be able to access Spherical via
https://ceylon.globat.com/~spheredev.net/). Thanks,

rjt

Btw, putting the screenshots up on another host now too.

[URL-inline="showpost.php?p=2102404&postcount=2"]This[/URL-inline] is the reason why your thread didn't show up.

I'll update the first post anyway so you can see the screenshots when the host is back online.

Just use, Imageshack, Photobucket, XS.to or any other image hosting service for your screenshots while the host is offline.

 

[DaVince]

Nah, I don't like such hosts. Uploaded the two newest screenshots already anyway. ;)
Also; I thought it was post moderation; it said so in the 'your message has been posted' thingy, but it went away too fast to completely read it (read it using the back button).

Anyway, let's talk about the project now instead of my site which currently is offline.

I'm currently working on the battle system (don't get excited: just the bare basics for now), the trainer card, some misc menus and things, but mostly I'm currently busy finishing the storyline until Violet City. DarkLeon and Jirachi are currently finishing off all maps until Violet City. After all this, the game should be ready for first release.

A few screenshots

A few new screenshots.

Gender selection.

Name selection.

As you can see, the name is actually used.

Saving the gaaame! :D

 

[sketch]

I really like this!It's very nice.You've already gone very far into the features and all.

 

[♥Naomi♥]

:D oooo coolies!i cant wait to try it! ^_^ do you have a walk around demo yet?

 

[DaVince]

Nope, for the first release we'd rather like you to be able to really play, so we're finishing up the story till Violet City and making the battle system.

 

[♥Naomi♥]

oh,ok!cant wait to play!it looks like its gonna be awsome!

btw,could you possibly post a screeny with the female player?

 

[DaVince]

Nope. There was a custom female sprite made by Pfreck, but none of the other team members had it and he's gone now. Well, I've seen him, but he doesn't have the sprite anymore, so no female sprite yet unfortunately.

Btw, our host is back up! You can visit our site and see all screenshots/bonuses now! :D

 

[DaVince]

This project is still alive. In fact, we will be releasing the first demo today.

After releasing this demo I'll restart a few systems FROM SCRATCH, especially the Pokémon system, because they aren't flexible, efficient and some systems just don't work well. EDIT: and they look like a mess. :D

Our relatively new team member DarkLeon (known here as D.Sephiroth) (who does the inside maps, misc person conversations and Erata maps) will be posting a few screenshots soon. I'll also notify you people when the demo has been released (later today).

Sorry for barely giving you people info, btw. I should have. XD


Last but not least: our host changed. Our main website is now found on https://www.spheredev.org/~dnaproduct/ (instead of spheredev.net).

 

[D.Sephiroth]

we have some more screenshots.(i'm 1 of the 2 mappers of GS/SS)

Bellsprout tower, you can get in there right now.

MR. POKEMOn works, but there is a little bug with the fat man behing the player, and we dont have the sprite of MR. POKEMON.

you can get items from people and berry trees now.


BTW, ignore the red tiles, that you see.

 

[darthjarjar]
