In Development Pokémon Fuso's Meteor

POKÉMON FUSO'S METEOR (Season 1)
An RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials 20.1 fangame project, by bravestbat.
In collaboration with Ekat.


Plot Summary:

When the Drakensberg government swept to power, the lives of many were changed overnight. Walled by the deep sea, the residents of South Fuso are forced to toil in the island's harrowing mines. One of these workers is you, the silent Trainer who is destined for greater things. The wounds from a torched friendship burn, but the desire to settle a score and preserve your family's legacy are paramount.

At the center of attention is the Dragon's Cup - a prestigious and definitive competition where the world's best Trainers strive to prove themselves on the big screen. Your rival, a former friend-turned-archnemesis, appears unstoppable on his way to a three-peat championship. Behind the scenes, however, an authoritarian government operates in secrecy. Their hidden agenda remains elusive from the general public; enforced by a band of crooked cops.

A meteor will soon graze the skies of Fuso. Fulfilling a 500 year promise, its emerald-green luster inspires hope to its lost children. Will the power of hope inspire you to fight for your family's legacy? Or will you and your loved ones be forever lost in the system?

Pokémon Fuso's Meteor (formerly Project Meteor 2) differs from traditional Pokémon games as it does not follow the usual Gym-Elite 4 structure. Instead, this game features a chapter-based plot, while breathing new life into familiar game mechanics. There are 8 chapters that will be playable in the Season 1 release.

Content Advisory - Player's discretion is advised due to rare instances of profanity and violence.

Expected release - Autumn 2024!

Screenshots look good luck

 

[Nutcase71733]

I was gonna download this but the EXP all immediately has me having second thoughts... Please say I can turn it off? I don't like the permenant EXP all, the concept does not work well in pokemon like it would in other RPGs.

 

[bravestbat]

Just wanted to update as to what I've been up to these last few weeks:

• a lot of QoL / plugins have been added (including a revamped EV system!)
• added a few more sidequests
• now I'm mostly testing and polishing up things
• I intend to make a Discord server as well, and will add the link once it's ready

I plan on releasing sometime in October, or early November at the latest. Stay tuned for more updates!
