Games in Development

Hello, everyone! As the title has already given indication of, I am currently developing a Super Smash Bros. fan game in Unity. This project is a celebration of video games and their characters from the era of the Nintendo 64 and earlier. The hope of this fan game is to have a roster of 30+ characters and at least as many stages, with gameplay reminiscent of the mainline Super Smash Bros. titles and visuals that evoke a sense of nostalgia (if you enjoy the Nintendo 64 visual style, that is). You might be saying to yourself, "Jester, that's far too much for one person to handle! How in the world do you plan to make that happen?" The answer is simple: One step at a time. Though I have big goals for this project, I keep my eyes on fulfilling what I know needs to be done for the next build of the game (or at the moment, the first build). I've made checklists of everything that needs to be done for the current in-progress version of the game, and I work on checking those off. Once I finish that list, it's time to release the build and make a list for the next build. Rinse and repeat until the game is done. Will it take a while? Absolutely. But by keeping realistic goals for each release version, I am certain I can eventually complete this game. Version 0.0.1a is already well underway, with all of the models needed for the build already completed (and showcased below), well over half of the necessary textures and materials finished and implemented, a number of animations from a sizable list done (honestly, this is the part of this project that has and will continue to require the greatest amount of work), and a solid chunk of the necessary scripting already written out. A few things to note: - Smash Retro is not a ROMhack or Mod of any existing Super Smash Bros. game. It is a fan game built with Unity game development software completely from scratch. Every 3D model was made by hand, one vertex at a time, and every texture drawn similarly, one pixel at a time. The goal of this fangame is not to "outshine" any official SSB game, nor to recreate the exact experience to be had in any of those games. Rather, the goal is for this project to be both a learning experience for myself and something fun for fans to enjoy. The roster size will be kept to something I am comfortable with being capable of creating, with the target being roughly 30-35 characters. If I feel other characters would be feasible, I may extend the roster to a larger size, but should not exceed 50-60 characters at most. To further keep my options to a more reasonable pool, and to keep to the concept hinted at in the title of the project, the characters represented in the roster will be restricted to those who originated in a video game that was released prior to September 2001 (the month that the Nintendo Gamecube released). I am not restricting the options to exclusively Nintendo characters, though that will be where the majority of characters originate from. The roster is not yet finalized, as part of the inclusion of characters is dependent on my ability to write the code relating to those characters. Characters who have extensive and complicated gimmicks (such as Ice Climbers) may prove to be too much of a challenge, and may be cut from the roster if I feel I cannot reasonably recreate their functionality. I am willing to listen to suggestions for character inclusions, provided those suggestions fall within the above criteria I have set for the project above. Stages and music will also follow similar criteria, though I have been somewhat less organized with those goals at this point in the project. If you would like to suggest a character(s), I ask that you please check this list before requesting, as there are 90+ characters already up for consideration, and your suggestion may be among them. Characters highlighted in blue are currently in the project, those highlighted in green are currently most likely to be included in the future, those highlighted in yellow have a moderate chance at inclusion, and those highlighted in red have a low (but still nonzero) chance at inclusion. (Please note that based on the above roster size limitation that not all characters on this list can make it into the final project.) The project is not ready for release just yet, as I still have a number of animations to make and I still have to complete a few scripts. I hope to have at least an early release sooner than later, but game dev can be unpredictable (especially seeing as I am a solo dev building this game in my spare time), so I will update this post when I feel I can more confidently predict a release date. Goals for the Version 0.0.1a Release 4 Playable Characters (Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu) 8 to 12 Palette Swaps per character 1 to 2 Playable Stages (Battlefield, Final Destination) Items will not be included in this build (Exception: Link's Bomb) One Play Mode and Rules Set (VS Mode, Stock Elimination) Basic, Unleveled CPU Controller ***Physics may not be finalized in this build Now for showing a bit more of the fun stuff...

Hello everyone! I'm TotallyNostalgic, and I'm new to this scene. I've been planning this game for years with excel charts and photoshop, but I only recently started working on it using Pokemon Essentials 21.1 and RPG Maker. I am aiming to make a remake of Diamond and Pearl that plays similarly to HeartGold, SoulSilver, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. Additionally, I am including elements from the anime and manga. There is currently no demo release but I am working on releasing a small demo in either July or August of 2025. I will update this post with more screenshots as I continue to develop the game. Alongside it's release, I will also upload two game guides with details on all the changes I've made and where to find items and events. One guide is meant to be a mock official guide book and the other guide will be a long text document with charts. Project Scope & Game Philosophy After BDSP released, I was a bit disappointed (which is my own fault for setting such specific expectations). No hate to any of the official games, but I waited long enough and wanted to experience what I craved from a Sinnoh experience. Players can either interact with all the new features and postgame or they can play with minimal changes and play the tried-and-true formula of 8 badges and becoming champion. Pokémon Temporal Diamond & Celestial Pearl are meant to feel like an actual Pokémon game. While battling is the main feature, I wanted to flesh out the world so the player could feel like they are actually in the world of Pokémon. That's why I've included side quests, camping, bigger locations, player housing, expanded contests, seasons, more minigames, etc. It also means I will not be including features like infinite rare candies, PC storage in the menu, and EV and IV manipulation in the menu. You will still be able to manipulate EVs and find plenty of rare candies around the map, but just not as easily/frequent. The plot will remain mostly the same from the original games. However, there will be some added anime influence and Platinum storyline features. Features Platinum Episode Like the Delta Episode in ORAS, the Platinum Episode will introduce Giratina and the distortion world. It will start after beating the Elite 4 and Cynthia. Screenshots Disclaimer: Most screenshots are of unfinished graphics/features and will be updated in the near future. The same applies to credits as features get added. Credits

Bluesky: @pkmnshsm.bsky.social Tumblr: @pkmnshsm Plot Summary Pokémon: Sharp and Smooth is a fangame that takes place in the original Hinoa region, which is (sorta) based off of California! A few years ago the Champion of Hinoa disappeared, and ever since, less and less people have been taking on the Gym Challenge. However, you and your friend Emilia are determined to be the first in a while to defeat all the gyms. Characters It's you! It's your rival and friend, Emilia! Energetic and friendly, she's hopeful to be able to beat all the gyms in Hinoa. Oh, that's Alden. While he's pretty smart with Pokémon battles, he also seems pretty arrogant. Kayda...? As the professor's assistant, she's been tasked to help you with your journey. Pokémon The Hinoa region is full of many new Pokémon, all designed by me. My goal while making them was to make them feel authentic while still having a bit of myself in them. But it's not just new Pokémon, there's a couple Hinoan forms too! The Hinoa region has changed a lot because of Humans, so it's no wonder some Pokémon did too. Screenshots Unique Features A focus on feeling authentic to the main series games A focus on the story and characters of the Hinoa region 100-something new Pokémon designed by me 19 new regional variants for old Pokémon a couple new Mega Evolutions for old Pokémon Project Details & Credits This is a fangame being made through Pokémon Essentials and RPG Maker XP. It started originally as me just designing Fakemon when I was bored, but a friend asked me if I was going to make it into a fangame one day. I eventually bit the bullet, and here we are today. While a lot of this project was made by me, the rest of it is public resources. Without them, Pokémon: Sharp and Smooth could never exist. There's also a few people who I think helped a bit with designs or gameplay decisions, so they're credited too!
