Pokemon Dragonvale ​

We’re Looking For:

• High Priority
  
  • Programmer - Need someone to help code the scripts and various mechanics into the game, can be new to PSDK that’s ok! As long as you know Ruby and have a bit of experience coding you’re welcome to join! I am learning how to code in Ruby to assist this department as well
  • UI Designer - We’d like our game to have a completely reworked UI fusing the Dragon concept with a fresh, modern, and medieval aesthetic.
  • Tileset Designer - Our game will feature aesthetics from the Game of Thrones universe, such as large castles, large walls, towers, houses, realm banners, as well as the essential poke buildings in addition to some new concepts
  • Balancer - Someone to help ensure a balanced gaming experience. The balancer will be responsible for balancing stats, item availability vs. progress in the game, trainer and gym leader strength, wild encounters, and more. The gameplay should be challenging but not unbeatable. We want to ensure this is maintained throughout the dev experience
• Low Priority
  
  • Composer - We’d love to have a custom soundtrack! Though we’ve got a bit to go before this is a necessity, if anyone's interested in joining anyway, you’re welcome to!
  • Community Manager - We’d like to build a community of players around our game. To do so we need someone running the social media, bringing awareness, modding the eventual discord, and facilitating Patreon content in hopes of receiving donations to reward the team for their efforts
  • Map Creator - I enjoy map creation so this isn’t a necessity; however, I am a complete novice(though I think I’m doing alright, the map included in this post I created) So if anyone would like to lend their expertise and guidance I’d be more than happy to accept

Our Team currently consists of:

• Myself - Project Manager, Mapper, Writer, Programmer, Audio Engineer
• 4 Fakemon concept Artists(With an additional artist lending pre-existing fakemon designs)
• Sprite Artist/Animator
• Writer

Story

In Pokemon Dragonvale, all Pokemon have long since gone extinct. Long ago, a group of scientists attempted to create the ultimate Legendary Dragon, creating a monster so powerful they could not control it. Unbeknownst to the scientists, their creation had a Hidden Ability called Miasma. Upon creation, this Legendary released it’s hidden ability and spread its Miasma worldwide. This Miasma was toxic to non-dragon-type Pokemon, killing them off. Dragon-type Pokemon were spared, but not left unaffected by the Miasma, twisting their forms into new, stronger, variants. As a result of this Miasma, our region is now populated by Dracomon, monsters with the appearance of dragons but with non-dragon typing. There are “True” Dragon Dracomon that carry the Dragon type and have a type effectiveness over every other type and resistance to Dragon-type moves. Pokemon Dragonvale sends the player down the route of world discovery and exploration, uncovering the secrets of the world's past, and foiling plans for a warped future.

Setting

Valore region exists in the medieval period and is a region split into two halves, the Western Island and the Eastern Island. Game of Thrones’ Westeros inspires the Western Island and has cities and towns based on the 7 realms and more to explore. Lord of the Rings inspires the Eastern island, let’s take a journey to Middle Earth shall we?

Goals

This is a passion project, but our goal is to build a community around this game and eventually accept donations on Patreon. All donations will be distributed evenly amongst the entire team

Platform: Pokemon Studio 2.2/PSDK 27.
