Released Pokemon Tarnished: Limgrave Beta

Pokemon Tarnished Beta​

Please note that this is my first game and there are still bugs about. Save often!

Limgrave, up until the first 'gym leader' Godrick is live for public testing!!​

I'm using Pokemon Essentials on RPGMaker. Art is my own, either completely original or edits of original Pokemon Sprites. I'm using the Elden Rign art for part of the start screen.

Unique Elements​

• A pseudo-open world with optional exploration
• Grafted Pokemon, Spirit Ashes, and numerous regional Pokemon
• Higher difficulty than a traditional game, though less punishing than a typical Souls-like
• “Gym leaders” are bosses from the game with themed gyms instead of type-based

Plot​

8 Lords who have taken fragments of the Elden Rune, tearing the Lands Between asunder. You awaken, Tarnished, with only Melina and Torrent for help - and a poor Pokemon professor who is very out of her depth. Yet with the guidance of grace and your Pokemon skills, you may be able to defeat the Lords, claim their shards, and restore the Elden Ring - or watch let the world burn, if you prefer. Choices matter, with 3 endings currently planned.

• 

The World​

• Creating by area (Limgrave, Liurnia, Caelid, etc)
• 3-5 routes per area
• Optional routes and areas
  • Ex for Limgrave, there are only 3 or 4 'required' areas to get to Godrick. Additional areas, like the Weeping Peninsula, Castle Morne, even Church of Elleh are optional areas. Then, in the areas themselves, there are optional tangents to explore - like a crypt in route 1 with an optional mini boss
• Torrent is your ‘bike,’ granting a quick way to travel from the start of the game (Not a fighting Pokemon, can’t be used in battle)

Pokemon​

• There are some normal Pokemon pulled from all 9 generations
• There are a LOT of 'regional' Pokemon/Eldenmon, with Pokemon fused with Elden Ring monsters (such as this Poliwhirl Basilisk)

• Changes to the Pokemon may also affect typing
  • Ex armored Rapidash is fire/steel, Bulbasaur is grass/electric (holy)

Grafting​

• New NPC can Graft certain Pokemon to make them more powerful (and freaky)
• Ex. first quest will be to collect 3 zubat, which the Pokemon professor will graft into… this
  
  

Spirit Ashes

• Some bosses will have unique Eldenmon that can’t be found or made elsewhere, other bosses will be their own “ace” and join the fight
• After defeating them, you can claim the Spirit Ashes of the final boss (Eldenmon or Boss)
• Spirit Ashes must be leveled up through an NPC, Rodericka, to prevent them from being overpowered and discourage a team of only Ashes
• **This feature is not live in the current beta but is still planned for the game as a whole

NPCs​

• Features most of the NPCs from Elden Ring, plus some new ones
• Each NPC has custom art
• Full body sprites for battles, shop menus, etc
• Dialogue will mostly be by choice
• Once they give you the bare minimum to proceed, you can end the conversation
• Option to ask more for information, hints (esp for the non elden ring players), easter eggs, hidden jokes

Bosses​

• Some will have multiple phases, meaning they can exceed a team of 6
• Each ace Pokemon will be completely unique and unavailable anywhere else
• Boss teams will be based on theme, not typing (lunar queen Rennala will have Lunatone, Umbreon, Musharna, etc.)

Pokemon Centers Gone​

• Sites of Grace + Melina will take over Pokemon Centers for healing and act as fly points** There are not fly points currently since it's only through the first 'gym'
• Melina, your guide, will stand by Grace and can heal your Pokemon
• As you ‘collect’ NPCs, many will move to the Roundtable - Roundtable is not in current version but still planned for full game
• Others, like Miriel, will stay where they are but will be right next to a site of Grace for easy access

Hello there, really happy to see this game now being playable, I'd honestly think that having a Discord would be easier to give you the bugs and so forth related to this game that appear as I play it, but other then that, I have just started this game, picked Impidimp and discovered that this area here some lack of collision, I'll continue to play and post these bugs here of course until an easier way to show it off to you have arrived, thank you for making this game and I hope you continue to work on it.

 

[Maor80]

Thank you so much! I do have a nice list of bugs to fix and graphics to update, but I will be making a Discord server for future patches. In the meantime, hope you enjoy playing!


ETA: I went ahead and made one! https://discord.gg/5JVbsvQa

 

[vinsear]

what is the holy type and is it swapping the electric type out of sudden i seen nuzzle being this type

Haha yep it's basically just electric. In Elden Ring, the electric spells are typically based on faith and (according to Vaati's lore videos) are bestowed by the divine.

That said, I'm reworking a chunk of electric moves to fit the theme better :)

 

[Hebsky]

Really enjoying the game so far! I have ran into an issue where the game crashes whenever i offer the water to the girafarig, As well my player gets stuck in the wall when entering stromfront.

 

[G717C]

This is such a cool idea, can’t wait for the game to be completed!

 

[Fas4532]

Hi, i'm playing the game and it's beautyful, but i have a problem. When i give the fresh water to girafarig the game crashes saying that theres's an error, what can i do to solve this problem? Also the discord link doesn't work
