Released Pokemon Sunset (Progress Check)

​

Introduction: This game is a double-battle focused Pokemon game, with the option to fight alongside Partners that join you throughout your Journey. You'll be able to view and level your Trainer's Pokemon as well as adjust them by using TM's and giving them held items. With adjusted experience formula, you'll be able to train up Pokemon under level 50 quickly so you can adjust your party to beat specific opponents.

Starters: Kirlia, Absol, Riolu

Plot: Various things have been disappearing all over Orange Peak. Is it a Pokemon? A thief? Investigate with Yuki as one discovery leads to a never ending spiral of mystery.

Features:
- Partner's Pokemon party screen (Can use TMs and have them hold Items)
- Your Partner's Pokemon can level up
- Switch between multiple Partners
- Control your Partner's Pokemon in Battle
- Almost every trainer battle is Double Battle
- New experimental Fishing mechanic
- Skip certain long cutscenes by holding the down key (at the beginning of each cutscene)
- Gen 7 Pokemon and Abilities
- Adjusted multiple Pokemon to evolve normally by leveling without having to trade, happiness, etc.

To do's and Known bugs
- Can't use items on Partner's Pokemon in battle.
- Plan to further customize your Partner's Pokemon (Change name and Remember moves)
- Update various art assets (In battle Partner sprites, etc)
- Pokedex UI update and number adjustments
- Plan to add more NPCs
- Aquarin Town is under extreme construction (no content)
- Possible plan to disable use items in Battle and possibly focus on use of berries
- Plan to add more Partner content.
- Autosave and ways to back up trainer data.

Spoiler: Screenshots

This game is at its experimental stages. It is bound to have multiple bugs and not very much content. It's my first Pokemon game so I thought I'd post here and get some feedback before I advance my game further. Please save often and consistently check your Partner's Pokemon party to check for errors. Since I'm working on this game alone, I predict that my progress with this game won't be as fast as I would like... I would appreciate it if I can get some help from others in scripting, plot progression and battle balancing.

[Sora]

Well, as far it is from checking the game and making dialogues, I'm sure I can spend some time helping you, if you find it useful ^^

Yes, that would be appreciated~!
I'll post a second patch once I finish updating so in the mean time, enjoy what the current game has to offer :p

Okay! When you need help writing the secondary missions, DM me so I can help :D

Update checklist & to do list

1. Clary town subquests (about 2/5 finished)
2. New Area (Dam facility)
3. Few minor fixes
a. Modified Clary town (Lag was severe around map connections, now clary town only lags on the very south part of the town... I think)
b. Some story elements
c. Minor bug fixes
4. Mansion dungeon
a. A lot of new puzzles (which might take a bit of a time...)
5. (tentative...) New mega evolution

 

[Shadicus]

I know this question is probably ridiculously stupid, but how does one evolve Feebas in this...? Since neither usual route for evolving Feebas is possible here and all.

Wish I could be of help with this project, but considering lack of any experience helping with these sort of things... Well, just hope that this project goes well for ya.

I like it so far- though did seem strange that you're locked to one gender/appearance for the main character. I don't mind, just seemed strange.

...Okthat'sallnomoretoread.

EDIT: So I'm an idiot, never-mind about the Feebas question.

 

[Sora]

Male protagonist!
I'll add options to change in the next patch~!

 

[Redthe1]

Umm I'm kinda stuck on the library puzzle with the plants specifically the last one, I'm giving the correct answers but it says that nothing is happening got any advice?

Can I ask what answer you picked?

 

[Redthe1]

Can I ask what answer you picked?

Gastly, Flabebe and haunter well in the game it's written Hauntzer lol. Those were my answers

 

[Sora]

You missed one I believe. You should pick diglett too and see what happens~!

 

[Sora]

Helloooooo.... It's been almost an year since I've officially released a demo. Sadly to say, I did not make as much progress as I would have liked to...
That said, here is a small update patch with couple of quests added in. A special Inn quest can be started by talking to Yuki.

You can also change your character into a male model by talking to the machine in your home at Orange Peak

Download Link for the update is here (Just drag and drop contents into your Pokemon Sunset folder):

This game looks amazing! I cannot wait to play it!
Just a little info to help you, maybe try to re-draw all the hand drawn stuff when your just about to finish so that the last and final update to the finished game looks clean and fresh. Also, if you do do it make it a bit more simple based and not so detailed, it looks a bit busy against the pixelated background.
Thanks!

I definitely plan to~!
Thank you for the suggestion :)

 

[Spedoinky]

Has any more progress been made on this Fan Game?

 

[ProjectIceman]

Any chance this game is still in development? I haven't played it yet but it looks like it has alot of potential

 

[WolfPP]

About overworld effects (e.g. shadow), check what I sent to Aki here.

Most of the updates are on new art assets and Aquarin warehouse content

Spoiler: New Screenshots

Again, the game was barely bug-tested so I recommend anyone exploring new content to back up their save.

I'll do my best to address bugs ASAP.

 

[kiniver]
