    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Soulstones 2: Time Wardens


    Pokemon Soulstones 2: Time Wardens

    About Project    ​
    Pokemon Soulstones was the first game I developed and released by myself in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time, I've grown to having a Discord server of more than 3,000 people and over 80,000 downloads. Given the great reception of my first game, I was crazy enough to attempt it again, but this time with a team.

    We're now back with a sequel that we hope stays true to the spirit of the first game, by building on what made the first game great: Quality of life, mega Pokemon, and lots and lots of regional variants. I hope that everyone enjoys this game as much as they did the first one and if you haven't played the first one, I highly encourage you to play the first game to appreciate the plot more. You can find the link to the first game here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=440329

    In no way do I or any of the other development team members receive any profit or monetary compensation for this fan game. We have made this game under fair use laws and do not intend to breach those. If you paid money to access this game, you have been ripped off.

    Team:
    Lead Developer:     Jos_Louis

    Artists: Badman, Endless, Hexx_Vixtar
    Scripting: DemICE, PDM20

    Tools used to make the game:
    RPG Maker XP | Pokemon Essentials v20.1
    GIMP
    Audacity​

    Content warning:
    Please note that this project contains some mature themes, including coarse language and violence. Player discretion is advised.

    Plot:​
    You feel a voice calling out to you in your sleep on the night before your 21st birthday. The voice is calling out to you for help and to find her as she is in trouble and vulnerable. You will soon find yourself caught up in a plot that involves assisting a visitor from an alternate universe as she investigates and attempts to unravel the objectives of the Ethereal Guild, a loosely associated band of mercenaries, pirates, and profiteers who have ambitions for intertemporal dominance. While their organization lurks in the shadows, it appears as their influence runs deeper than anticipated, threatening the stability of the Orion region.

    Features:​
    The following contains a list of the features of the game:
    • The flagship feature of this game is that it contains a Pokedex of over 800 regional variant Pokemon and ONLY regional variant Pokemon (i.e. no canon forms at all!)
    • Generation 4-style graphics
    • Mega Evolution
    • 3 new types (Cosmic, Sound and Light) with accompanying changes to the type chart
    • New moves and abilities, both for the new types as well as existing types.
    • Estimated 25 hours of content
    • Similar to Soulstones 1, this is not a gym/league challenge story and is more of an RPG with story progression.
    • Similar to Soulstones 1, side quests are making a return, and some have multiple steps to it to create "mini-stories" which will compel players to pursue side plots.
    • Features a number of unique scripts such as Voltseon's pause menu, Encounters UI, Randomizer X, multiple save files, and the Quest Log UI.

    Screenshots:​
    And now for what everyone has been waiting for, to determine whether this is worth playing or not.

    Pokemon Soulstones and Time Wardens Discord:
    As players progress through the game, please join us in the Pokemon Soulstones and Time Wardens Discord server to answer questions, report bugs or just hang out and talk about the game!
    https://discord.gg/UNnkvJb
    ​

    Roadmap:
    • The post game is in development and is being worked on in parallel to any updates or bug fixes to the live game.
    • Given the sheer number of regional variants, we expect there will be fair number of balance updates and patches that are launched as problematic or unbalanced Pokemon are identified. As hobby developers, we can't perfectly QA a Pokedex containing more regionals than the first 7 generations of canon games possessed at once so please be patient with us!

    Installation Guide:
    • Like any other Pokemon fan game created using Pokemon Essentials, simply click on the download link and extract the archive.
    • When this is done, run the Game.exe file.
    • If you get an error message on startup regarding fonts not being installed, simply navigate to the Pokemon Time Wardens\Fonts folder, select all the fonts, right click and install them as administrator.

    The download isn't available until September 28, 2023. Wait a few more days, but if you haven't already tried it, you should play the first game (linked above) first.
     
    Soulstones 2 is finally here, eh? Well done mate! Given the quality of the first game, I am expecting this sequel to be nothing short of a blockbuster. However, I personally think that one extra typing do makes the game a bit interesting, but three extra typings is an overkill to say the least. This might be my only gripe with the game and I mean no offence. All things considered, I am really looking forward to play the game when it is released and test all the regional variants ASAP!
    Wishing you luck developing the game...
     
    I am beyond excited to play this game. The first is in my top three favorite pokemon games of all time. I am SO excited to see how the plot cnotinues!
     
    I am so excited to give this a spin! Soul stones is in my top 5 favorite Pokémon Fangames of all time! Congratulations on getting the sequel out!

    Additionally, we also have a few users within our Discord server that can provide support around how to get the Joiplay version working.

    This was a time-limited code awarded to players who finished Soulstones 1 (the first game) during Season 3. It is not available to new players. Don't worry though, the prize you get from this code is available eventually to all players so you're not missing out on anything; you just get early access.

If you have previously downloaded the game, please only download the patch file as it will contain both the fixes from previous patches and the current one.
