Recruiting Souls Unbound

[Zed_Coeur]

Hello, everyone! My name is Zed_Coeur, and I am currently developing a large Pokemon fan-game that uses Pokemon Essentials v18.1. Currently, the project is in need of many different positions:

- Lead Artists

Concept art for Fakemon designs, mega evolutions, and other forms
Official artwork for human characters as well as specific items

- Generation 5 sprite artists

Front, back, overworld, and icon sprites for fakemon, mega evolutions, and other forms
Item icon sprites
Item mining minigame sprites for existing and new items
character portrait sprites (much like those in the Vs. banners
Trainer and other character sprites

- Generation 4-5 tileset artists

Tilesets for outdoors, indoors, and various landmarks and interior locations
Tilesets for every core legendary encounter location (Rose Tower, Megalo Tower, Sky Pillar, Spear Pillar, Team Flare base, etc.)

- Animators

Updated move animations for existing and new moves
Cinematic cutscenes

[About The Game]

In the story of Souls Unbound, you start your journey in the Dalcia region after hearing a voice in one of your dreams calling for your assistance. Joined by a group of friends that come from the same neighborhood, you are met by Professor Maple and her assistant Sequoia, who give you and your friends your first ever Pokemon. After setting off, it is discovered that a malicious group of people known as Team Meteor are causing trouble in Dalcia, trying to bring back someone their leader, Ashe, had long lost. Along the way of stopping Team Meteor at every opportunity, you cross paths with Markus, the CEO of a company known as Voltage Industries, who has been developing technology that connects the souls of trainers and Pokemon, as well as show trainers what they can do to unlock brand new potentials other regions never heard of before. Along your journey, you'll face Markus time and time again, and each time he will continue to encourage you to break past your limits and go beyond being a regular trainer. You'll face the gym challenge, characters from other regions, and gain new knowledge of what being a true master really means.

[New Features]

• Over 150 brand new Pokemon to collect!
• New Mega Evolutions, regional variants, and an evolution beyond Mega*
• New evolutions of existing Pokemon
• New means of evolution
• New moves, terrains, weathers, and abilities
• The Soul Band, which allows you to connect with your Pokemon on a deeper scale**
• Achievement System within the Soul Band, which unlocks specific features such as teaching Pokemon moves without the TM, or setting up a terrain during combat**
• New battle mechanic: Soul Energy and Soul Power***
• Updated DPPt mining minigame
• Quad battles
• A rarer variant than shiny forms: Lustrous forms
• Outer Islands, where players can catch any Pokemon that isn't exclusively featured in the Dalcia region
• The Mystery Isle, an island that takes you to the memories of catching old core legendaries such as Lugia, Zekrom, and Necrozma

*I haven't yet figured out how exactly to make the beyond Mega evolution script work, but once we have designs in as well as other required features, I will tackle that
**I don't have experience in making a system like this, but looking at other scripts within Pokemon Essentials, it doesn't appear to be too difficult
***This I have implemented, it's just hidden at the moment and needs some tweaks to be made for a more accurate representation
