In Development Pokémon Loyalty Version

Introduction

(Seems like everyone's posting their game threads nowadays - might as well jump on the bandwagon)

Pokemon Loyalty started off as just another simple, unimpressive fan-game project. But now, two years later, well, it's still kinda simple and unimpressive. But it's a simplicity and unimpressiveness that we're proud of. We're not trying to be like the other fan-games that are focused on putting in a ton of flashy features - we're more focused on actually making the game. We don't want this to be some huge blockbuster game - we just want this to be a bit of a fun little experience.

Progress

04/07/2017 : Things are a bit slow, considering we are on a bit of a break, and after that we still have to rework a lot of what's already been done. And we might be working on a bit of a side-project, too, so I wouldn't expect to see anything new regarding Loyalty over the next couple of weeks.

There's not one. Yet. There used to be, but that's a really old version that's really out of date.

Story

You are a young sixteen year old from Saraii Town who is taking their first steps into the world of Pokemon at the same time as your life-long friends Kelsey and her twin brother Keith. As you embark on your grand adventure across the beautiful Ralleh region, you'll meet interesting people and explore interesting places. You'll face off against the feared Black Hat Organization and encounter the highly respected White Glove Organiztion. You'll uncover many secrets and solve mysteries to shine a new light on the circumstances. You'll be asked many difficult questions, and must ultimately decide where your loyalty lies...

Features

-721 Pokemon! They're all available... sorta. Not all Pokemon are programmed into the wild (I'm not stupid enough to cram them all in), but there is an offline trade feature (see below) that can, potentially with patience, allow you to get any of the Gen I - Gen VI Pokemon.

-Offline Trade Function! A simple edit of Luka S.J.'s Trade Expert Script, the ATLAS system available in every Pokemon Center will allow you the opportunity to have some new and more diverse teams than what is normally accessible!

-Multiple Saves! Thanks to the work of Mej71, those dedicated players who actually liked the game enough to go back a second time! Now they can do things differently without having to lose all their previous progress.

-Custom Tunes! Courtesy of co-dev Raiden, Loyalty will feature unique music, to hopefully make it a bit more enjoyable. We hope to showcase of of that music soon.

Development Team

-Raiden : Composer, Sound Effects Guy,
-SpartaLazor : The other guy.

Unfortunately, it's going to be a bit of time before we get to that point. As I stated above, we're on a bit of a break, and then we have to finish reworking what's already there, and even then we'll probably be working on a side project as well. We aim to have something out by the end of the year, if not sooner. But still, I appreciate your enthusiasm as we look forward to showing off all the things we've been working toward!

I am sure that it will be worth the wait

I was going to post a jukebox of sorts for this somewhere in the future but I might as well put it here for easy access. Gonna link some songs from Soundcloud here later. Or not. We'll see.

Hilarious game, love the jokes, but I think you might have to watch out for your following pokemon. It looks like houndoom is standing on the floor and desk at the same time in one picture; which takes the magic out of the psudo-3dness of the game, you get what I saying?

I mean yeah, I see what you're talking about. But I really don't see that as much of an issue. That's just the size of the sprite. Sometimes they're a bit too big and overlap the tiles in certain places. Wailord and a lot of the other large Pokemon do the same thing, and usually on a much more notable scale. I don't really see much of a way to fix this other than to either remap a lot of maps, or alter the scripting some, both of which would be tedious for something that's not a big deal in the end run. It's a bit off, for sure, but it doesn't really affect gameplay that much, and I doubt it'll really ruin someone's game experience.

Wow! It looks really good so far. Just a couple of things that caught my mind.


Things I Like:

• The fact you're not focusing on the features, but on the actual game. I think this will make the game superior to those who cram in heaps of features.
• The offline trade system looks really cool. I hope to see it implemented in some other fan games coming up, too.
• The maps are really detailed and look really engaging to the player.
• The shading of the Battle UI command box looks impressive. I feel like it suits the theme too.

Thinks That, In My Opinion, Could Be Improved:

• It might just be the shading here, but the tilesets look a tiny bit different from each other. The PokeCentre looks more pixelated than the other maps, which looks inconsistent. A very small issue, but still.
• This is just my own opinion, but the language used in the Pokemon Centre is a tiny bit crude. While we here at Relic Castle are used to it, there could be younger kids that the game is passed to who will hear that language. Another very small issue.
  

Overall, it looks really well done so far. I know you've been moving slowly, but that's OK considering the amount of work you put into it. I can't wait to see this game develop as the year goes on.

Good Luck!

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for taking some time to offer feedback.

I've never really noticed the thing about the tilesets, but I'll keep an eye out for it. I am the one who's done most of the tilesetting thus far, so I easily might have screwed something up. I'll take a peek next time I get a chance to look at the files.

As for the language, I get that. It is a bit crude, and I was hesitant when I first wrote it, but I decided to stick with it. But I did also make the conscious decision not to go overboard on swear words - I use them very, very, very sparingly, and I never use anything worse that 'damn' or 'hell'. My rule is to never go beyond those two words. I'll definitely keep it in consideration going forward, and I will change it if need be.

And, on a smaller side note, you might not see too much progress as the year goes on - we're kinda working on a new project and we are planning some huge changes for Loyalty in the future, so it might be a while before we show off anything new.
