bombastik18 · Jun 30, 2023

~~[Volunteering]~~

~~Expertise: mapping, spriting, battles~~
Examples of Work: Pokemon Hidden Altars – Harrison Story, Pokemon Recruitment
~~Method of Contact: .bombastik on Discord~~
~~Timezone: GMT+2~~
Additional Information: Since I don't have any cool ideas for a Game Jam game, I would love to be a part of someone else's project. I have a full-time job, but I can definitely squeeze some hours here and there in my spare time. Although I must inform that I won't be able to dev during these days: 20-30.07 (but I will definitely be online and willing to help somehow). I love mapping and I can definitely dabble in some eventing and pixel art (create some regional variants, splice some characters, edit and create tilesets, modify the UI etc.). I'm also interested in VGC and I can be responsible for balancing the game and setting up battles. I'd prefer to work on a somewhat classic Pokémon experience (catching Pokémon, battling trainers, exploring the region), but I'm also open to any creative ideas!

Vendily · Jun 30, 2023

~~[Volunteering]~~

~~Expertise: Scripting~~
~~Examples of Work: https://eeveeexpo.com/resources/authors/378/~~
~~Method of Contact: vendily on Discord, or DMs on here.~~
~~Timezone: EDT (GMT-4)~~
Additional Information: Please think out what script(s) you may want before you reach out to me. I'm not a particularly strong team member when it comes to other aspects of development so I wouldn't want to take up a team space that could be better utilized by someone else.

DerKreideprinz · Jun 30, 2023

[Volunteering]

Expertise: Writing, some spriting, and mapping but my abilities in those are not as up to snuff as I'd like them to be and I mostly edit pre-existing official stuff, I'm not much of an artist.
Examples of Work:

(this is a few years old but one of the last sprites I worked on for a now-abandoned project)
Method of Contact: PMs here (I check around once a day) or Discord at kingukurimsonnottheboss2940 (I check this more often).
Timezone: Eastern Standard Time (GMT-4)
Additional Information: I'd prefer to work on some sort of standard Pokémon project or something story-driven, but I'm open to most things. Relatively new in the scene so I'm throwing my hat in the ring in hopes of helping out and getting some experience/making connections in the community.

PyroGaleZX · Jun 30, 2023

[Recruiting]

Looking to recruit: Spriters and Mappers, the game will be Gen 4 Styled. If possible, I would love to have help with scripting and coding as I'm not very good on my own. As well, I wouldn't mind helping with some writing if possible.
Jam Entry Title: Pokemon Nature Force (Working Title)
Team Name/Team Members: Team Nature!!!!! (PyroGaleZX)
Progress/Screenshots: Screenshots to come
Method of Contact: Discord at pyrogalezx (I'm always online so I'll always see the notifications)
Timezone: MDT (UTC -6)
Additional Information: I plan to try and make a fairly standard Pokemon Game, having a story that flows throughout the game, however, I want to strive for open world, utilizing scripts such as Level Scaling and maybe Level Caps to try and help ease any stress. I want to be able to make a game to encourage exploration. As well I'm about to start work soon so I want to go fairly casual, I want this Game Jam to be a fun experience, and I hope I can meet some awesome people too.

LimaPro643 · Jul 1, 2023

[Recruiting]

Looking to recruit: Spriters (primarily trainers/characters), some scripting/eventing expertise
Jam Entry Title: Pokémon: Meteor Town
Team Name/Team Members: LimaPro (so far)
Progress/Screenshots: basic plot elements and characters
Method of Contact: Discord (limapro)
Timezone: EST
Additional Information: This game, inspired by Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, focuses on five young researchers who have made significant contributions to the Pokémon world. The game will take place in a singular small town, across multiple parallel dimensions. Branching paths are a key component of this game, and the further into the game you go, the further from reality you stray. // This is my first jam and I've never had a release, so general tutelage would also be highly appreciated!

GalamiSalami · Jul 2, 2023

[RECRUITING]

Looking for: Eventer/Mapper/Pixel Art
Jam Title: Pokémon Byzantium
Team Members: GalamiSalami, FrivolousAqua
Plot Synopsis: As the protagonists of Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green are battling Giovanni for the Earth Badge, Hoopa suddenly appears and transports them to an alternate universe with little explanation as to why. Once they land in the alternate universe, the protagonist appears in Sepia Town where they are greeted by Yellow Oak and Professor Oak. Giovanni appears in "Viridian City", in front of the Pokémon Center. It seems like they are in an alternate version of Kanto where everything is different. The two must learn to put aside their differences in order to get home.

Methods of Contact: GalamiSalami on Discord or DM me here!
Timezone: Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5)

[Recruiting]

~~Looking to recruit: Sprite Artist/Art Director/Cutscene Artist~~
~~Jam Entry Title: Ghosts of Knowledge 3 (Tentative)~~
~~Team Name/Team Members: Myself~~
Progress/Screenshots: Spent the first 3 days planning out the entire game via a Game Design Document. It's done, so I've started on developing the game today. Will send once I get someone! Majority of the fakemon are already designed, and just need to be sprited.
~~Method of Contact: rankoruru on Discord, or DM me here lol~~
~~Timezone: EST~~
Additional Information: Looking for someone able to do visual effects (like animations for special events), look over the way the game looks to make sure it's all consistent, OR sprite some Fakemon that are already designed. Don't have to do everything, just at least one of these lol, I'll pick up the slack for any role left over.

deoxysacid · Jul 5, 2023

[Recruiting]

Looking to recruit: mappers, but really just anyone who wants to help out
Jam Entry Title: There isn't one yet... (arceus' mild fuckup is the working title)
Team Name/Team Members: team members: meee (and a friend who helped out with dialogue. two slots remain)
Progress/Screenshots: character designs are done save for a singular character, most dialogue portraits are done, ive got most of the mapping done (save for the ABSOLUTE WORST PART)
Method of Contact: discord (deoxysacid)
Timezone: PST
Additional Information: I'm experienced enough to do this by myself, but extra help would be MUCH appreciated so I don't get overwhelmed. A plot summary to get you interested: Dawn is basically Arceus' errand boy and is sent to an alternate Sinnoh to fix a small problem they have there. (Team Galactic trying to destroy the world. Again. Oops.) But things are a bit different in this Sinnoh... Roles are swapped around, things look a little off in some spots. That won't stop Dawn, though. Time to Save Sinnoh for the third time!

~~Method of Contact: Discord (rainefall)~~
~~Timezone: UTC+1 (BST)~~
Additional Information: I will be generally unavailable during the last week or so of the jam. I had an idea for jam this year but the shorter time I'd have and not having a team to work with day 1 meant I had to abandon it.

Altarax · Jul 6, 2023

~~[Recruiting]~~

~~Looking to recruit: Someone to assist with mapping~~
~~Jam Entry Title: Petra Mandala~~
~~Team Name/Team Members: Altarax, averythegayvery (balancing) and Karakter (writing)~~
~~Progress/Screenshots: All the gameplay elements I wanted to insert are done. The plot is also done.~~

~~Method of Contact: You can DM me here or in Discord (altarax_)~~
~~Timezone: UTC+2~~
Additional Information: In the game I'm working on, player choices will heavily impact the story's flow and outcome. I'm also experimenting with different gameplay elements that fit well within the setting I've come up with, like recruiting Pokémon. I've made a lot of progress on this already, as you can see in the video. Having someone to assist me in mapping for the game would be a great help, as that's taking up most of my time at the moment. Thank you for reading my post, and I hope to be working together in the near future!
