[Discussion] What are you working on?

[indieoutloud]

I've been working on my own Pokemon fan game for about two months and have made amazing strides in the development process the last few weeks so I felt I'd make a few small videos of my favourite features until the first demo is ready.

I would love to gain the input of others so I can make the first demo more full and can move on to the next stage of development quicker. My game is called 'Strange Times: A Pokemon Fan Game' and my thread for the Progressing Games thread is awaiting approval! In the meantime please visit my games site at http://www.strangetimes.co!

Thanks so much for checking this out and I hope to hear from you all!

In the process of making my second attempt at a Pokemon RPG--based on a TV show I created for my imagined Pokeworld. Ash and co. do make an appearance as the audience watching the show (I already have them in the game) They will have plenty of commentary about what the player does,as well as gently poking fun at fantasy and RPG cliches

At the moment I am trying to make a cold open of the gang getting together to watch the show, but am having very little luck

I am in the process of starting a Pokemon Emerald hack. I'll save the details for when more is completed, however.

Currently remaking the intro screen in Pokemon Essentials. I'm making a PMD style game in Pokemon Essentials (a bit inspired by Ruby Destiny Resue Rangers) so it's probably gonna get changed a lot.

After that i will probably just add all the overworld sprites i need

I'm working on a script for essentials that generates events in a map wich are wild pokemons that you can battle by bumping on them.
Here is a prove of the concept:



The events are loaded from a .txt file wich contains the info needed to generate them, an then another script is constantly iterating through the list looking for fainted pokémons and if they have to respawn.

 

[EmeraldSky]

Well, I figured out my problem with the cold open and am underway making the main game--right now I need spellsong animations, since two of my three playable characters can cast spells via song

Just working on the character designs for the 'Are you a boy or girl?' screen. My game will have quite a unique style, I hope!

Give the character an outerglow when choosing it:P

Setting up the first real battle--a monster (not sure what, but it should be easy for the player to defeat) frightened and injured a Meloetta named Sonata (who is an ally to my three heroes). The cleric heals her, minutes before the same monster comes to attack the heroes.

Oh yeah :p I have it coded to fade the unselected character but like a 2px white outline on the selected one would work well you reckon? :)

I'm currently working on an editor for the pbs files
heres the progress so far on the pokemon.txt editor

Note that i am aware that the spd, spatk and spdef stats are the wrong way around, it was sorted after the screenshots were done

Hey, that looks very nice! I'm also working in a pbs editor but for trainers, it can already create new trainers and I'm finishing the part for editing new trainers, It is in Spanish wich is my native language but I'm planning on translating it :3

That looks really good! I'd just started coding a pokemon.txt editor in Java so I'm glad to see someone's done it already before I get too invested haha.

Are you going to have an easy method of adding the regional dex numbers?

 

[desbrina]

The editor will eventually be able to edit all the PBS files.

I have a few ideas for the regional dexs, nothing decided yet

The only bit not working at the moment is the evolutions, haven't decided how to handle them yet. It can load and save the pokemon.txt file. Editing doesn't save yet though

I´m currently working in a new game made in Game Maker, it will be based in marvel franchise, the game mechanic will be like Megaman Battle Network.

The graphic aren´t good because i´m focusing in coding.
This is what i can show for now:

What do you think?

These are awesome. I they may seem simple, or edit things that people can already edit, but having a GUI to edit these things make it much easier for entry level developers and I personally feel like that is the best thing this community could actually see. It is one thing about the ROM Hacking section that helps drive the activity over there because it gives people a nice visual place to start.

Hope to see more of these two projects!

Thanks for the feedback. I have the layout and loading the pokemon.txt file complete
None of the add buttons work yet. The remove buttons remove form the lists, but don't actually remove when it comes to saving.
I have the saving mostly complete, at the moment it doesn't save evolutions as i've only just finished the loading of them. Saving them is next

This is the final layout with everything loaded

This looks great. Would love to use this!

I'm looking at releasing it when i've done some more testing

Working on a party system for Unity, which keeps important information about party members, as well as player position and map data(with luck, it'll allow Unity scenes to behave more like maps in RMXP). This isn't strictly meant to be used for a Pokemon game, but when AWAKE's done, I'll try to put everything relevant to making a Pokemon game together for public use.
