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.

i did that already its still running slow
by the way i forgot to mention im playing
it on a pc windows 10 acer

I'm sorry, I'm looking in to reasons as to what could be causing lag in the game.
Until then, please be patient~

Having too many events on a single map is a known cause of lag, if that helps any.

 

[Fennicka]

Hay. I recently downloaded pokemon sunset and I got to say. It's great. Even though it's just a demo, there is a lot going on - seeing more of plot, rather than the usual beating gyms is interesting. But I have a slight problem. After defeating Spinel I'm supposed to go to the door on the left, right? But the door is locked. I went to the other mansion, aproached Musharna and even crossed lake. (I don't think I was supposed to do that...)
So... what should I do?

Ahh, I took a look at other player's playthrough and I see why people are having this problem.
There's a little space right out side of Spinel's door you can enter through the left (right next to the staircase.
If you go through that space, you should be able to reach a door (the middle door, not the one all the way to the left)

I'm about to release another fix so it would be a little bit more obvious... and possibly a story change. I'm not sure if I'm quite satisfied with the story post spinel's battle.

 

[Gento]

I've released another fix file with the battojutsu fix and various other bug fixes.
Download

Again, replace these files in your DATA folder.

i tried but it didnt work kid you maybe be a little more specific sorry if this is annoying you

 

[VictiniiAlmeidaPT]

Whoops. I believe this is a problem with me forgetting to prevent re-entry.
Yuki should be telling you to visit the room on the left instead.

Thanks for the help , but is it suppose to end there? I cant enter the door , the left door on the other side of the mansion . I tryed to see a youtube video xD but he was in the same spot .If you could help i would be appreciated , or i will wait until the nest update news ;P
Still in love with this game .

(forget it i got it already xD)

Update : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4OsZRC6Blt_XzhPWDRBUmM4eDA
Sorry for the late updates guys. I haven't been able to access my computer that has the files I need to edit.
The updates should fix buncha stuff that was addressed I think.
I'll make an update post a bit later.

Download the above files and place them in respective folders.

Do you know how many events are "too much?"
And do you know if it still lags if the events have nothing on them?

 

[Rotkind]

This game is the best fan game i have played in a while! Keep up the good work =)
Question: How does the fariy ribbon work to evolve evee? I can only give it to evee to hold and after leveling up he doesnt evolve either
Also the chatots in the wild near the mansion gives an insane amount of exp. Is that intended?

Hmm... I'll look into why the Fairy ribbon doesn't work.
Ah, I made Chatot have lot of exp to test out some experience mechanism. But I'd probably leave it until full release to help with some grinding before the mansion.

 

[skurleton]

Very cool! I especially like the idea with the starters.

I've added the fix to the Eevee problem. When you give it fairy ribbon, it should evolve correctly.
Download and replace the above files in the DATA folder.

 

[Sora]

Just curious. Do you guys prefer if I kept Pokemon Following you or if I replaced it with following Partners instead? (Yuki, etc)

I prefer having the pokemon following us.

 

[Deleted member 561]

I also prefer having the pokemon following the player.

Update Post (August 13, 2017)

So I'm at the point where I'm realizing that there's so much to do but not enough time. There are so many things I want to implement into my game but I don't have the time to invest in due to my ineptitude in coding...
And most importantly, well...
My computer died. (press F to pay respects)

But I'm not giving up. I've backed up my files so I can work on them as soon as I get a new computer.
I might do some kind of commission thing so I can have enough funding to buy a new computer.

Anyways, here are some pictures of our next update

Phone Services (Pokegear, call for services like changing name, move remember, etc)

New Partner (Definitely-not-rem)

Also, in the meanwhile, I'd appreciate a lot more feedback from you guys~! Where did you have the most trouble battling/grinding? Which feature would you like to see added? What did you like about the game so far?

 

[Wizarmonfan]

I'd love it if you kept the Pokemon following the MC.

Also, I can't download the game from the first post. Google says it's violated their policies or something.

Hmm, not sure what's going on here. I'll try to update the download link once I get my new computer.
