Short-term Pokémon Uprising

[Somersault]

Pokémon Uprising is a fangame project (built on Pokémon Essentials v19.1 framework) that has been born from the huge desire of having DPPT remakes (or rather having the opportunity to revisit Sinnoh 15 years after we first met Lucas and Dawn). This time, instead of releasing a demo until the fully gameplay is available, this fangame will be annually released by chapters, so that with each release the available playable content so far is complete. This will also allow our team to keep releasing content throughout the year, in the format of events, side quests, Mystery Gifts, etc.

"The events of Pokémon Uprising unfold thirteen years after the events of Pokémon Platinum. Although you and your cousin are both fourteen years old, neither of you is a trainer yet, which is unusual in a region like Sinnoh. To become a trainer, this year, you two go to the annual trainer festival in Amberia City, a city near your home town. During the festival you will be able to obtain your first Pokémon! As you will see yourself, there are new cities and towns, routes, and even a different path around the island. A new, young professor —that you might know very well— will be the one that gives you the starters.

But while you are having fun at the festival, a strange, huge and terrible phenomenon is currently happening in the region of Alola, an unprecedented scaled event that will eventually affect all other regions in the world. Adding to this dystopian atmosphere, the old criminal organisation known as Team Galactic has reassembled. Grunts with new outfits and hairstyles, and mainly new executives and commanders will reassemble this organisation with one goal: Bringing back their former boss: Cyrus."

Spoiler: Screenshots

Now, we are currently (and a bit urgently) looking for:

• A spriter, who:
  • Is (very) good at spriting, and more specifically at dppt style (in other words, 3dish styled and outlineless mainly).
  • Could be in charge of making some new tiles for some of the maps of the upcoming chapter 2!
• A digital artist, who:
  • could create elements for the battle backgrounds (example below).
  • work preferably in pixelart, but not mandatory. That is, in first term, any other style is welcome for this role.

(disclaimer: the following is just a mere screen test. As a certain company would love to say: "Game footage not final")
