DPS is a rpgmaker/poke essentials project determined to creating a different approach to the pokémon formula focused on character driven storytelling, pokémon interaction and worldbuilding in a pseudo sequel to the events of pokémon Y.

Main features include:
  • -Two alternative playable characters with their own intertwined stories.
  • -A new Region to explore with tons of content aside from the main story.
  • -Branching story paths based on the player's choices.
  • -Pokémon treated as their own characters with personalities and plot relevance instead of being simply tools for their trainers.
  • -A handful of new Pokémon and forms with unique mechanics like Pretendee, the play pretend pokémon whose form and evolution line changes depending on what it is pretending to be.
  • -Overworld encounters as well as surprise encounters based on dex entries and anime appearances of certain pokémon like pineco falling on the player when they walk under certain trees or Galvantula's attacking the player when they approach their webs.

This project as been a one man's job so far and it's still in early development but due to my personal lack of time and expertise in many aspects of game development I'm reaching out to anyone interested in this project.
We're currently looking for:
  • -Artists and mon designers (pixelart is prefered)
  • -People with experience in rpgmaker/pokessentials both coding and using the app to create maps and set up events
  • -Music producers

With enough help some other features could be added to the game like:
  • -A Player Journal with multiple functions like a move editor/relearner, Region Map with location descriptions, a character index detailing the last known team members of relevant characters like gym leaders and rivals.
  • -A soaring mechanic.
  • -New moves and battle mechanics like combo moves.
  • -More in depth interaction with the player's pokémon like animations,minigames, etc...
