I would like to mention that we are also allowing people to contribute to the project, specifically about spriting the various fakemon of the region while we take care of the actual game and artwork;
Here's a quick example graph!

Thank you very much! we've had a lot of fun designing our fakemon, and we hope people will enjoy the rest of the roster when we get to reveal it!

Having played the demo via the discord, I'll give a quick review for anyone wondering if it's worth giving a try.

Short answer: Yeah! It's fun, and I enjoyed my experience.

Longer answer: It's still definitely in early development, so it's rough around the edges, some of the Pokemon are represented by concept art instead of spritework, and the demo is fairly short. None of that is a dig against it, though, cause what's there is very fun. Good pacing, some challenge but not very much (which is fine given this is the early game part), and fun Fakemon designs (especially the cookie bug). I'd definitely suggest checking it out! Plus, the devs in the discord are very active and good about responding to feedback.

thank you very much for the comment, and yee we're trying to take feedback to heart and make sure we can polish it up as we go--

Once the proper demo gets to a good point, we'll post it as a release in the main thread instead of leaving the builds on Discord

We've been taking our time to rework some of the maps atm, making for instance Messen a little smaller and compact!

The UIs look great, gonna have to keep an eye on this! :)

thank you, we've been trying to make the ui a mix between vanilla and custom, i think we're doing pretty alrighty on that end!

I finished playing the demo a few days ago and I thought I'd put here on this threads all my thoughts about it.
It was very fun to play and pretty quick too, like an hour-ish minimum. UIs are fantastic, especially those in battle, summary and overall the Pokédex. I like the Grass-type starter the most.
As an Italian it is both funny and interesting to see a Pokémon region based on Sicily, and I'm sure it's got plenty of potential.
I kind of like the locations and cities, although it appears that some of them look quite empty, or too big, or both (take Messen City for example).
Overall it's a very good start, for sure a very interesting project which I'm interested in. The only thing is, as I mentioned, the cities being too empty, and also the movepool of the Pokémon, but that's the least of your worries because it can be adjusted anytime.
Here's a screenshot of my final team (yeah I chose the female protagonist because the overworld looked cuter tbh)

Darkonius Mavakar · Nov 17, 2023

The main build has been updated to 0.5!

This marks a plethora of changes-- mostly visual, a few balancing and some map edits, for instance, Messen has been entirely redesigned!

It is now much more compact and easy to traverse than it used to, other routes have gotten some edits as well in the visual departement, like Route 3 and the Camposanto (Graveyard) getting a different palette to suit the mood...

More fakemon sprites, we're approaching the full demo's roster very soon, just about 10 fakemon left to sprite!

Tidarid now has a dynamic panorama that changes depending on the time of day, fancy!
As always you can check out our builds in our official discord server, linked up in the main thread.
And please do remember that not everything here is final and may be subject to change as we develop the project.

Darkonius Mavakar · Nov 19, 2023

Build 0.6 uploaded to the main Discord Server, why a new build so soon?
Mostly making sure some extremely specific crashing cases do not occour, more npcs added for flavor and more items added about in various routes;

Also some graphical changes, like beaches looking like proper beaches, and the intro getting started on having some visual tweaks!

Inner Rhymes · Nov 29, 2023

Oh my gosh! This looks wonderful! I am really looking forward to a proper demo release!

Darkonius Mavakar · Dec 5, 2023

been doing a lot of progress, at this point we're mostly polishing as the missing sprites are getting done
so here's a lil Stritten sprite made by HiddenSoundTest over our server!
(do not mind the grandpa he is fine)

Excuse me but how do I download the demo? I wanted to try it out.

the demo is not ready, however as stated in the thread, you can download ALPHA builds over our Discord server, linked in the thread

once the Demo is fully done, it will be also available as a download on the thread itself!

Darkonius Mavakar · Dec 11, 2023

Speaking of Alphas, version 0.8 is available!
This is getting closer to the final release, as we have very few sprites missing;

this update fixes a bunch of stuff, but mostly updates visuals and rebalances a few moves and encounters, as well as map layouts!

As always, ALPHAs are available on our Discord Server, and the FULL demo will instead be posted here in the main thread when it's done!

Darkonius Mavakar · Jan 5, 2024

Progress has been going pretty alright!
Hopefully we will have a proper demo so that everyone can try the game rather than downloading the Alphas--
just a few sprites left, thanks to our contributors! (which you can also join)

Here's Cecilia's trainer sprite by HiddenSoundTest!
