    The Legality of Fangames

    I'm not sure I know what you're referring to by "Handy versions", but just to be clear: Sonic Mania isn't a fangame. It's an official Sonic game, every bit as legal and (presumably) part of the canon as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 or Sonic Adventure or anything else. It was largely created by a person...

    GB Studio

    Quick overview for those who are unfamiliar: GB Studio is game maker software that creates simple adventure games in four-color monochrome Game Boy style, and actually outputs those games as functional Game Boy ROMs (for an emulator, etc.). I've played with it briefly. It's a neat idea for...

    Resource HM Items

    Er, isn't the escape rope already "dig as an item"? Pretty sure they work in all the same ways/places. Nice to see a plug-and-play script for this, though!

    Entertainment What's your favorite Pokémon?

    My absolute favorite pokémon is giratina! (Preferably altered forme over origin forme, but origin forme is okay, too.) I'm not entirely sure why; I've always liked it that little bit more than dialga and palkia, but that was about it. I guess it's probably a result of an old fanfic I was...

    Creative The Great Relic Castle Fake Off

    Grah. I'm still fighting with these things, so they're very much unfinished, but I'd like to get something posted before it stops being the 21st in my timezone, so eh. The OP says this is a place for feedback on these designs, right? Maybe some of y'all can help me. *punches artwork*...

    Entertainment Pokemon Quiz - Are you a noob or a pro?

    Entering "nidoran f" and "nidoran m" worked for me, yeah. 151/151 and mewtwo, and the first quiz didn't load for me, either. Clicking the "Start quiz" button does nothing. I'm getting the impression that you created/helped create this website, @Wafflecakes. Is that true? If not, whoops...

    Game Jam Game Jam #3: Discussion

    Ah, well. Looks like I won't be making it after all. Still, it's close enough to done (as done as something can be in ten or so days, anyway) that I'll probably be able to post it in the regular forums tomorrow or Saturday; it could, at the very least, do with some more beta-testing, if anyone...

    Game Jam Game Jam #3: Discussion

    Go for it! I'm getting a really late start, too, for a cavalcade of reasons that are mostly my fault oops, but if you've got an idea that you like and can buckle down it's still possible to get a lot done even with the deadline approaching! Will I make it in time? No idea, especially since I'm...

    A Speed-up button in Fan Games. (Do or Don't)

    I've never played a game with a "speed-up button" (and don't make LPs or watch very many, either), so help me out here. What exactly is it that these buttons are traditionally "speeding up"? The framerate of the entire game (as I believe you could do with the doduo/dodrio modes if playing GB...

    Creative Sugimori Style Poke'mon Art

    Hm. Hard to say without knowing the usual dimensions you use for your artwork, but these days in MediBang I usually work in 2500x2500px square canvases at 200dpi, and my lineart brush is set to 6px. I may make it a little thinner (~4px) for fine details, or a little thicker (~8px) when I'm...

    COMING SOON: Relic Castle Game Jam #3

    Don't forget that the Game Jam's true point isn't to "win" anything or to create something nearly perfectly polished in a month's time. It's for learning new things about game making, it's for trying new things without worrying about the stress of finishing a huge project that has to rival the...

    Post Game

    For what it's worth, I'm not sure it's always "how important/unimportant is this content compared to the main story" that's the main deciding factor in a postgame. Obviously that's something to consider, and I agree there's nothing wrong with, say, saving "The End" and the credit roll until some...

    Trainer Class Specialist Mechanic

    Well, there are already trainers with specific items or other special attributes based on their classes, like scientists using X-items or the breeders in BW2 being rematchable because they want to keep training their young pokémon. Seems like a fairly reasonable progression to me! Granted, for...

    Creative June Fakeathon 2017

    I've still been keeping up with this, mostly! Day 4 is still in need of tweaking and I still want to punch 9, 11, 12 and 13 until they stop looking like random scribbles and start looking like things, but I've just been lazy about posting the others, is all! Big art dump incoming, then:

    Creative June Fakeathon 2017

    Days 8 and 10. No day 9 for now because the line I'm trying to redesign is pain and I want to throw something and aaaaargh.

    Creative June Fakeathon 2017

    3 and 4 are still a little too unfinished even by my standards, so here, have 5 through 7 instead.

    Creative June Fakeathon 2017

    These were totally (mostly) done on the correct days! Totally. Not going for anything polished here; mostly I'm just using this as an excuse to brainstorm and experiment with some revamps and some fakedex spots I've been dancing around rather than actually filling. Still, for something...

    Creative Sugimori Style Poke'mon Art

    That's really good for a first attempt! The shading's simple, but for something with a bunch of flat planes like a book, it gets the point across just fine. And yeah, inanimate objects are definitely tricky, but based on a quick play around with a book I had on hand, I'd say that's pretty...

    Discussion The Oddish Whisperer

    Well, there was the time I found two shiny oddish in nearly the same place in two different games. Found one in Ruby's Safari Zone, and then a little while later found one immediately outside Emerald's Safari Zone. Always thought that was kinda amusing, and hey, now I have a matching...

    Creative Sugimori Style Poke'mon Art

    Aw, yeah. Sugi-style fakemon are my jam, largely because I can't sprite worth a lick, haha. My whole fakedex website is full of these things. I guess I can show a couple of the more recent ones? I don't think I've really nailed down a consistent personal version of a Sugi-esque style yet...
