[Developing] Pokemon: Aeon

[Blake7]

"Lost in time, where will you go?"

This fan-game project is based on Pokemon Essentials, the game will have to diverging story lines which will be connected to each other in the same time. The story will diverge from one to another depending on the gender you chose.

The region of Tharros

"A region en-closed by a barrier which hides it from the whole world, due to an cataclysmic event. Once connected to another region, this continent drifts Isolated in the mist."

The regions History:​

The 4 Kingdoms​

Nearly 30 centuries ago the Tharros Region was once divided by 4 Kingdoms.

Spoiler:

1. Aspertia
2. Weilar
3. Veynor
4. Ebur
These four lived in peace, as each considered to be related to other by long lost line.
Of all 4 Aspertia was different, they believe in bonding with Pokemon naturally instead of catching them would be equal to treating them as slaves. Some of them even had the powers to understand what the Pokemon could say. They believed a mystical Pokemon protected their realm from the beginning of its creation.
The poeple of other 3 kingdom would also believe that such a Pokemon existed, but they preferred catching Pokemon as equal to bonding with them.

Tharros was once connected as a peninsular with Kalos region.

The War of the two Continents​

Spoiler:

(The story is narrated by a Historian you'll meet in the old Tharros region.)
"Ever wondered why Tharros is so isolated than the other regions?"
"It is the curse this land bear, for the evil deeds done by the men who once lived."
"If it wasn't for the mythical Pokemon, Tharros would have been destroyed."
"3000 years from now Tharros was once connected to the region Kalos, at that time the King of Aspertia was Gezor."
"He had a son and a daughter. The boy died in an accident with a Pokemon, leaving his sister traumatized. "
"The Princess would never dare to leave the castle, Isolating herself from everyone"
"The King then announced his advisor to find her daughter the Soul seed, believed to be no more than a legend."
"It was believed that the seed could grant the user a wish"
"Several men ventured Tharros for such a seed, day and night until it was found."
"It was brought back to the Aspertia, and the King was ready to free his daughter of her grievance."
"But the stone was stolen before the King could use it."
"Gezor sent many soldiers to look for the thief, until one of them (named Rohr) found the thief escaping into Kalos."
"At that time a man named AZ ruled Kalos, he had a younger brother who wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed."
"The brother encountered the thief, and took the seed from him."
"Knowing that what could happen, he kept the seed and sowed it in an unknown place."
"The soldier found, what happened to the seed. As the wish was granted and a war started.. Between Tharros and Kalos."
"Pokemon and Human, the war went for days."
"Until AZ's martyred Pokemon was presented to him."
"He became grievous and started experimenting on other Pokemon to bring it beloved back to live"
"He made a machine to give it life, but it took others away"
"Driven by vengeance, AZ used the ultimate machine to rip Tharros apart."
"If it wasn't for the mythical Pokemon, Tharros would have sunk under the sea."
"A region which was once connected to Kalos, drifted away and became Isolated in the mist."

Even though Tharros was Isolated, over the centuries, it made contact with the outside. Making significant advances in Science, Technology and Modern lifestyles, but Tharros was kept secret by its people.

The Rip of Space & Time​

When the war ended with AZ used the Ultimate weapon, this took lives of many Pokemon and gave Mega stones. But this also created a rip in space and time. Portals open randomly at random places sucking everything that surrounds, whatever falls into its transport into another time and another area. The people of Tharros vowed to stop these random portals from harming peoples live.

I hope you plan on throwing at least a couple fakemon into this game because it's looking way too nice to not give it something unique for it to really stand out.

Yes I'm planning to, though I won't exactly call them fakemon but a mutated evolutions of the official pokemons

Sounds good enough to me :)

 

[Shawn Heatherly]

I'm not familiar with the initial form of this project, but the screenshots look fantastic and I'm always happy to hear we'll be exploring two regions.

 

[Blake7]

Okay so i did spriting of the mutated starter Pokemon based on artwork done by Mustafa,
Chansey is not done yet.

There'll be aura effect around the sprites based on their types, Pikachu will have eletric sparks around him (like Flash's lightning) Marill will have water particiles circling round it, and Chansey will have white aura.

 

[TheRollinSpheal]

Wow, this game looks AWESOME! The tilesets and just everything in general.
How did you get that pause screen (GUI)? I've been trying for weeks but don't know how to make it work >.<
Nonetheless, you can definitely count me as a supporter of this game. It looks amazing and I can't wait to see what all you'll do with it. Just judging by this post, I'd probably rank it up there with Phenoix Rising >.< Good luck, can't wait to see more updates in the future!

 

[Blake7]

Here is a little update, some screens from Route 1 (and one from Oister Town):

Route 1 will be one of the biggest routes in the game, the starting place for the female character and I am planning to add a lot of content on this map.

Looks really cool. It's unusual to see some beach on such an early route.

 

[Blake7]

Okay, so progress been very slow this month. Route 1 is almost finished. The starting location of the female protagonist:

Also done spriting female OW, please give me your opinion on this as I mixed feeling about this:

Also a quick information about type changes in the game's region,
Happiny (..and its evolutions) are now Ground and Normal Type (Regional Form)
Pichu (..and its evolutions) as Electric and Normal Type
Azurill (..and its evolutions) have Water type as main instead of Normal

 

[Shawn Heatherly]

The female sprite looks fine to me.

 

[MasterBallz]

Gotta say I'm liking the female OW sprite too.

 

[Blake7]

BUMP
(Dunno If the thread will get closed for this)
The developement speed been very bad, and I wasn't able to contact the original author for a long time.
But now I got some updates and few more concepts to show:

Spoiler:

LOST IN TIME:
Facing an unknown force, the protagonist are now lost in time and must fight their way back and discover what brought them here in the first place.

Now stuck in the past the protagonist will explore past version of their region.
Faced by the challenges of the old era, their main quest is to find how they can get back into present time.
In this old era, the region is divided, civil war and tensions grow as something is trying to rewrite the past itself.
​

Some GUI Update:

 

[Blake7]

Ok, so Berrycove city is almost done (probably will finish by the end of this month)

 

[Blake7]

The progress is slow since its just a two man team, but the city is almost complete with just indoor maps and fogs do be worked on.

Update on city:

Female Protagonist room:

​

I am looking for someone who could help with mapping and events, please PM if interested.

 

[Shawn Heatherly]

The more I see of this city, the more I love it.

 

[Blake7]

Ok city is finished mapping, moving on to timeskip maps. It would be really great if someone would be willing to help in mapping of the game.

(I know there are some tile errors, my bad.)

(The players have been teleported to an unknown time, they must cope and face the challenges of this era in order to get back to their own time.)​

 

[Shawn Heatherly]

Oh man, those prehistoric assets look so good!

 

[Blake7]

The map of Oister Town is done, thanks to the help of kirlial

Spoiler:

(Map still subject to possible changes).

Also some progress in the timeskip tiles!

 

[watertrainer_nz]

finally! A game that doesn't just use FRLG tiles! Looks nice :)
