[Discussion] Some exchange of services

[hirokimura]

Hey guys !
Well, I'm actually making a pokemon game (NO REALLY?) and I lack something a lot, and that something is pixel arts.
I mean, I need some pixels arts, and I'm totally dumb with those. I tried, and it looks REALLY awful, even with simple edits. You don't believe me? Check these:

Don't worry, you're allowed to laugh.

So well, I'm alone, and I need help. But I'm not gonna ask for free. I'm broke, that's a fact, but I can offer help in exchange.
So I'll post it what I need, and what I'll pay back, and if you're interested, feel free to ask !

What I can offer :​

- Easy scripts. I can make your custom abilites if they're not too much to make. I can somehow understand the functions in Essentials and tweak them to make what you would need. If you need examples about what I can make : https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/427940 https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/419667

In case you need scripts, please ask before anything and I'll say if I can do it !

- Graphics unrelated to battlers and character. I can use photoshop well and make some cool graphics for your UI, GUI, etc. It doesn't have to be for essentials, but it would be prefeared. The first thing I could find was this : https://prntscr.com/u1u72s

- Assembling tilesets / converting them into 32x32 pixels. I can combine tilesets you'd like and convert a 16x16 into a 32x32 tileset. Simple as that !

- Plot ideas, narrative, lore, anything that's story related, please ask !

What I need :​

- Lot of characters trainer front, overworld, and vs transition. If you'd like to help, please ask me the list, this is long.
- Custom sprites back and front of Miltank in these outfits : Popstar, Dancer, Policewoman, Firefighter, Bartender, Nurse, and a Mega. (Like the cosplays pikachus)
- Custom megas pokemons.

Shinys aren't needed, I intend to softlock them all.

This list can be updated. Just post what you'd like to give / to ask, and we'll talk ^^
I hope you'll like the idea. XOXO !

Hey there,
If you have problems finding sprites for new mega sprites I'd suggest you to use the opportunity nintendo has given us in form of the gigantamax Pokemon. Using them as new mega evolutions not only looks good but also fully utilises their potential in new stats, types and abilities instead of just changing a move and hp.
Oh and also you're artwork is looking fine especially the second and third ones are pretty good. Don't be too nervous about using unfinished\imperfect art in your game it won't be final and also it doesn't have much effect on the narrative. I'd suggest to not hang yourself up on small things right now.
Good luck with your fan game :)

Hey Bro !
Thanks for the cheering. Unfortunately, I'm really the kind of guy who is perfectionist and dislikes making things at 50 percent. That's why unless I have a decent graphic chart for everything, I wont release a beta ^^ Even if the narrative is good, I think games are making top tier because of the graphic assets as well. Look at phoenix rising, with only one chapter, the fanbase is huge.

Gigantamaxes are a good Idea ! Sadly, most of them were already mega. Venusaur, Charizard (fuck this pokemon =.=), Gengar... Would be neat for lapras and snorlax tho, I'll give it a try ^^
