Project Title: Project Untamed
=================================
Looking to recruit:
Story/Script Writers - people who can at the least provide ideas for story elements such as main objectives in the story and help us build a backbone for story
Mappers - people who have RPG Maker XP and can put together drafts of maps and send to us to implement into the main project
Music Makers - people who have experience making tracks that emulate the style of gen 5's music
Tile Makers (Interior and Exterior) - people who can create tiles for the game (such as houses, objects, etc.) while matching the style of what we have currently. To an extent, skill level does not matter since we can always refine the tiles. Concept art is always welcome regardless of skill level (to an extent)
Spriters - people who can create Pokémon and NPC sprites from concept art in the Pokémon style (which is outlined in a guide). All concept art for the Pokémon themselves has been done already
Cry Makers - people who can create Pokémon cries that sound like they belong within the Pokémon style of cries. For the demo, all we have left is 7 Pokémon at the time of this writing, but we will need many more once we begin work on the full game
Anyone who has knowledge of the Mexico/Central-American/South-American culture, please give us constructive criticism if you end up being part of our team! We plan to put a lot of thought into our story/art/music/gameplay choices, and you could be a huge help.

Project description:
Have you heard of the Mazah region created by Jack on the Subjectively YouTube channel? If not, take a look at this playlist!
We are making this hypothetical region a reality!
=================================
Plot outline:
Like I said, we need someone to help us solidify a backbone for the story, but here’s what we’ve got to work with.
“In ancient times, the Mazah region was divided into two distinct societal groups: the Imata tribe, and the Katalu empire.
The Imata were a peaceful people, living off the land and following the Pokémon that shared their desert home. The Katalu ruled over the vast jungles and established a sprawling empire with cities and structures that towered over the land.
Each civilization followed the teachings of a separate deity. The Katalu were followers of Hylarmos, the first hunter. The Imata worshipped Maripome, the first hunted.
The story goes that when the Mazah region was inhabited by only Pokémon, Hylarmos and Maripome set the ecosystem in balance. Hylarmos as the first predator, and Maripome as the first prey. When humans began to inhabit the land, some favored the ways of the predator: stagnant, unchanging, and always hungry for more. Other humans sought out the life of prey: ever moving, in fear of being caught, looking forward to a better future.
After some time, the Katalu began to exhaust their resources. Depleting their jungle home of food, they sought to conquer what little the Imata had. They unleashed Hylarmos using special jewelry to control it. The Pokémon wreaked havoc over the land, laying waste to both the jungle and the desert, consuming everything in its path. In a desperate attempt to save their people, the Imata released their guardian, Maripome.
Enticed by this ultimate prize, Hylarmos pursued its ancient rival. The ensuing chase caused more destruction than either civilization anticipated, and they were forced to work together to seal away both Pokémon in a sacred tomb.
As the years went, by the remnants of the Katalu and Imata civilizations slowly unified. The land was no longer divided, and it adopted a new name: the Mazah region. While the empire of the Katalu and the tribes of the Imata have faded into history, their mentalities persist in their descendants. Some believe the only way to succeed is to remain hungry and ruthless. Change brings about destruction, and tradition must reign supreme. Others live more progressive lives, seeking to break out of the routines of old and blaze a new trail for the Mazah region.”
The contrasting themes of the Mazah region are modernism versus tradition.
Professor Ceiba of the region is researching the relationship between Pokémon and the culture of the region. She wants to find out how Pokémon influences the traditions of people. For this reason, she gives the player a starter Pokémon from a set of three that have historically contributed to the culture of the region. She also advises that the player take on the gym challenge to learn more about the culture of each town and learn more about Pokémon.
Evil Teams:
Eon Faction (Tradition):
They are inspired by the old kingdom of Katalu that worshiped Hylarmos. They believe their way of thinking is correct and that breaking out of routine is dangerous for the region. They have ignored new ideas even if they benefit the Mazah region and its people. The current Eon Faction are landowners and usually pass down their accumulated land through generations, hoarding property and housing and making affordable housing impossible in some areas.
Neo Collective (Progressive):
They are inspired by the old tribes of Imata that worshiped Maripome. Although they are progressive and believe in breaking out to find new ways of improving the old, they will sometimes ignore traditions such as respect for ancestors and their way of life, even when those traditions provide a moral compass. They are more technologically advanced but never stay in the same place for more than a while which makes it difficult for their families to take root and develop a strong bond with their region. They go around the Mazah region looking for opportunities for progress (new tech and business opportunities, sometimes at the inconvenience of the local residents).
=================================
Features:
Central-American-based region
Objective (Quest) log - we plan to have many side quests in addition to the main quest line, and the main objective to progress in the story will remain tracked so players can check up on their objective and remember what to do after taking a break from the game
Pronoun selection
Normal/Hard Difficulty
Lots of new fakemon and regional variants (check them out on the Subjectively YouTube channel)
Number of Towns: 7+ (subject to change)
Number of Cities: 3+
Following Pokémon
Additional Pokedex entries are planned for some Pokémon. These "CultureDex" entries add to the lore of the region and unlock via optional quests as rewards at times. This is planned because the region's professor studies how the Pokémon in the region have influenced the culture.
Mega Evolution (+ new megas)
=================================
Progress/Screenshots:
So far we are almost done with a demo! At the time of this writing, I would say we are 80% done with the demo.
So far we have 2 towns (out of 2 in the demo), mostly mapped out.
Mostly done with cutscenes except for in one town (need writers' help).
We have a 3rd area that is just about complete.
This will complete the demo after all the cutscenes are done in 2nd town.

Additional Information:
We all respect each other's opinions and provide constructive criticism while we work as a team.
Started in May 2022 and almost done with the demo! Woo!
We like to have fun of course. Otherwise, we wouldn't be making a fan game!
