Released Pokemon: Ruins of Lavender V.2

Team:
Elle

Made with PSDK


Overview:
I've been working on various projects, as I always do, but I really wanted to post something, anything, before we got too deep into the beginning of summer. None of my projects -at the time of writing this- are close to being ready, so I thought I'd do a personal challenge, trying to make a game in 24-48 hours. What I managed to come up with was a simple rogue-lite in a desert-ruins re-envisioning of Lavender Town. There's no story, it's just a simple attempt to see how high up the tower you can climb and try to make it to the top alive. I will say, I'm a little concerned the difficulty may be a bit high, but we'll see how it goes.

Screenshots:

Features:
-Overworld following Pokemon
-Obtainable Pokemon from gen1 to gen6
-Gen4 assets mixed with beautiful fogs
-No saving or running.
-Choice of gender and skin tone
-Simple Pokemon mechanics
-Randomized encounters and randomized rewards
-Special interactive cameo of Elle
-Possible frustration

Developer Notes:
The only known bugs I know of is that sometimes the audio overlaps. My PC is a bit messed up right now, so I wasn't able to test the audio, and if you need to, just turn off your music. Some moves in PSDK don't have their descriptions, which is pretty normal, since I'm using an out-of-date version of PSDK. Other than that, I think that's it. If you notice any bugs, errors or something else broken, please let me know in the comments below.

I love the desert theming here. It looks wonderful put together and your usage of space and the way you pepper in your different environmental elements looks quite nice. One minor suggestion though: For your title card, the color of the text is a bit too close to the color of the background, which makes it a bit hard to read, and so it's not going to stand out when people are browsing through games and deciding what to play. You might want to make the letters slightly darker so that they pop a bit from the background. But other than that, looks great so far!

You're right, the title really does need work. I'll see what I can do!

Thank you!

Hey, as a personnal nitpick- could ghost types not be encountered before a certain LV treshold, somehow ? If too early, you sort of. Cannot hit them, and cannot flee from them either , ending the run then and there

Spoiler: 20th opponent

Also, once I've claimed the stone for beating the 20th opponent, I'm kind of just locked in the room without being able to interact with the device. Help ?

Woah this game looks gorgeous! Are the tilesets public by any chance?

 

[safr]

Thank you!

Also i forget to say good luck on the other project like red 2 elle and stay healthy

I just now posted a new download with the issues fixed.

Yeah, most of the tiles are from free-use tilesets from DeviantArt.

I just wanted to make a post so that others can hear about my experience. After Elle updated the game so you can fight the Pokémon on the 20th floor, I felt like this was a very fun game from start to finish. There could be some balance changes sure but the game was to challenge Elle and her abilities and it makes me very happy that I got to play another one of her games. You did an amazing job Elle.
