We are currently looking for devoted people to join our project!

Pokémon Tabula Rasa, inspired by Reborn and Insurgence, is a story-driven fangame with 2 brand new regions!
  • The Anphelio Region, inspired by the word aphelion (or the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun). This region has a lot of similarities with its name, as it is a snow-covered tundra with little to no civilization. Mostly covered by routes and forests, this region gives you a lot of training and time to meet new faces who help to get you back to your once held glory. Many Pokémon from all over the world have descended from this region and here, you can find many of their different, undiscovered versions of themselves. These Pokémon are often shy and haven't come in contact with many humans. However, the ones that find civilization or the Human population, get along with them very well.

  • The Pansperma Region is the mainland. The region flooded with tourists and Human population. This has really driven out Pokémon in these parts, especially near cities. As you go on throughout the region, you find power-hungry corporations out for control over the region. To do this, however, they need the most powerful trainers to be able to drive out all Pokémon insight. In which doing so, makes room for more people to come in, leading to more money and power in the corporations. Here, you will find out who you truly were in the past and you may have to power your way through to get what you want for yourself and the Pokémon at stake. The sheer number of variety in Pokémon, people, and places you find along the way is incredible. This region has everything a person could ask for and is the reason why it's a huge tourist attraction.

Story Rundown so far:
This game follows one of six characters to choose from. Before the events of Tabula Rasa, you were the champion of the Pansperma region and we’re almost unbeatable. When you are finally "beaten" by your previous Rival via an intentional hit to the head. You wake up in a snowy, mountain-covered land in the future, with no recollection from your younger years. Once in the region, you find out you were taken by your professor and his apprentice, your rival, who since the incident, has had a change of heart. Your task is to go through the two regions, trying to figure out why these new forms have appeared in these two regions, take back your champion title, and find out the truth behind your Rival's dirty play in the championship match.

Team Members:
UPDATE:
We have grown our team since to house a dedicated and loving team that is out to make one of the best fangame experiences out there! However, we are still looking for some more people to join in and help us out!

Plans for the game
  • Fully Custom OST
  • New characters with extensive backstories
  • New mega evolutions
  • Custom Anphelio/Pansperma forms for over 200+ Pokémon
  • Huge postgame
  • Side quests galore!
  • New Pokémon that you discover throughout your journey
  • HMs as Items (Axe for Cut, etc.)
We are currently working hard on this game and would love some extra, decently-to-very devoted reinforcement in the following roles:

- Spriters (All are in a GEN 4/5 STYLE)

Spriters are very diverse so I will break it down into the following categories:
  • Trainers
    • Trainer Sprites, Overworlds, Vs. Mugshots, etc.
  • Pokemon
    • Sprite/design (come up with) Regional Forms, Cut-Off (Not full body) Backsprites, some Overworlds, Icons, etc.
  • Items
    • Sprite icons for items ranging from new Poke balls to HM Items and Mega Stones
  • UI
    • New UI, including but not limited to, Pokedex, Pause Menu, Pokemon Storage Box, and Minigames
  • Large-Scale Pixel Art
    • Pixel Art for the title screen, credit images, battle backgrounds, promotional art, etc.
- Main/Guest Composers
  • Compose tracks for Towns/Cities, POIs, Routes/Caves, Encounter/Character Themes, Battle and Victory Themes, Sound Effects, Remasters of old tracks, and much more for our fully custom OST
  • Must also have the ability to make tracks using Gen 4/5 Soundfonts those of which I can provide
- Ruby Scripters
  • Scripters are tasked with coding new features, menus/UI, ability/move codes, adapting old scripts for new versions of Essentials, etc
  • Scripters must be experienced in Ruby scripting
- Artists
  • Artists will make concepts for Pokemon, items, trainers, and so forth
  • They can also make storyboards for stuff like intros, cutscenes, promotional videos, etc

Bump: A little update on recruitment. We are still looking for another composer to make the game's soundtrack/sound effects. We are using a mix of Pokemon soundfonts, but mainly Gen 4 DPPT soundfonts for our game. The second composer will also be working with our main composer, helping each other out with suggestions and other overall comments on their compositions. Most of our other positions are filled at the moment, but we are still taking community help. If anyone is interested, please contact me in any way through our email, discord, or twitter. Thank you for all the interest and kind remarks and we will have a status update coming soon!

Along with the recent dismissing of a couple of team members for personal/undisclosed reasons, we now have more spots open on the team and are very excited for the opportunity to bring in some new people!

If you have any interest in joining the team, please contact me on Relic Castle, DM-ing our game's Twitter account, or DM-ing me on Discord and/or Relic Castle with at least 2-3 pieces of prior work to prove experience (These are all linked on the recruitment post itself)
