Games in Development

Canyona 1.0 Release (Pokémon Essentials 19.1) In Pokémon Mahogany Obsidian, you play as a high ranking member of the Pokémon Ranger Service in Hoenn, put on assignment in a new region. Forced to relinquish your Pokémon to protect the flora and fauna of the region, you arrive in the state of Canyona of the Awhon region. In the game, you complete missions in a main-story plotline to advance to the next state; however, side quests occur throughout the world. These do not affect the main story, but allow you to decide which journey you'd like to take- will you be the farmer, collecting berries around the region? Will you be the savior that helps the residents of Awhon? Maybe you want to be a treasure hunter, or maybe you just want to explore the world, finding all the secrets spread throughout- it's all up to you. In this open-world take on a Pokémon game, my primary mission is to strike the perfect balance between familiarity and discovery. Some key features of this game: Open World. Awhon is based on my hometown of Yosemite, and my childhood memories of running around pretending to catch Pokémon. I truly hope to capture that spirit of adventure in this project. New types. I wanted to change the meta of battling to capture that feeling of playing your first Pokémon game, figuring out the type matchups, and learning how those types affected the world. Side Quests. There are a lot of people that need your help! Being a Pokémon Ranger, you are sworn to protect the flora, fauna, and people of the region. No more gyms. Instead, once you prove your strength, you receive a state seal from that states Ranger Operative. While yes, this is a battle similar to a gym, there is no specific building where you are confined by a "gym challenge". Colored Pokeballs. This is purely aesthetic, but in the game, you can purchase Pokeballs at different Pokeball vendors throughout the world. When planning this game, I couldn't stop thinking about Gen 5, and it's harder-than-ever reset to the franchise, and it had me wondering; what would Pokémon, as a game, look like if it were pushed beyond the standard conventions? Pokémon Mahogany Obsidian acts as the realization of a thought experiment. With that being said, here are some in-game screenshots. Please note, it's just me making this game, so a lot of the sprites are placeholders- and forgive for the darkness, I took these at night. This is an area north of the first city, the structure is an Umucha (Miwok Bark House) This is a look at the Battle UI I made. It's meant to be consistent with the other UI I've made. Also, I'm not a spriter/pixel artist in the slightest, but I'm really proud of this sprite: It's "Ew'tichu", an Electric/Rock type pikaclone. It eats static and magnetic energy, storing it in the gems on its body. "Ew'ti" is Miwok for Deer, and it's based on a Fawn. Example of some Colored Pokeballs My favorite area, Gorge Canyon, and the new unown form, based on Miwok basket patterns. This wouldn't be anywhere near possible without the help of some incredibly talented people. If you're at all interested, the game is available at the link below. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/esiyhuf3u4t4k2m0dbg00/Pokemon-Mahogany-Obsidian-Version-Canyona-1.0.rar?rlkey=yq3s8331x3dynzwhvwvpgu8dt&dl=0 Once again, this is a "one-man-band" operation going on here.

A NEW SPIN ON POKÉMON BATTLING! Now of course, every Pokemon game NEEDS battles in it, but we've taken it a step further! Now instead of playing as a trainer with their own pokemon, you battle as the Pokemon yourself! Battle other Pokemon in the region, whether it'd be your companions, your foes, or anyone else! Get as strong as you can, because you never know what might happen next! (Gameplay footage may not resemble the actual game after release) FEATURES! A new battle system: Instead of being a trainer sending out your Pokemon, you battle as the Pokemon yourself! Team up with your allies; they will follow you around the region, and they will give you hints on how to solve a mystery if you're stumped or if you're confused in where to go next when you interact with them. Overworld Pokemon Battles: You will find other Pokemon around the region who are willing to battle you. This was implemented for you to earn XP to level up, since you will need to be high leveled as the Pokemon will get harder and harder as you progress through the game. Some Overworld Pokemon Battles are not optional, as some might involve in a mystery, or they might be blocking entrances to progress. Your allies will also occasionally challenge you to a battle during the storyline. Overworld Pokemon Boss Battles: In addition to Overworld Pokemon Battles, certain Pokemon will be avaliable as Boss Battles, more frequently in the post game. They can extend from Boss Battles vs your allies to Legendary Boss Battles vs legendaries!! Post-Game Adventures: The story dosen't end after beating the game! There will be a post-game where you can accept and venture on quests givens by your allies, solve smaller but still exciting and fun mysteries, and of course, challenge yourself to even tougher Pokemon battles! There will also be smaller side-stories featuring each character, but the feature is still in development! TEASER TRAILER (Some gameplay elements may change in the future.)
