Recruiting Recruitment for Pokémon Zircon Version

[Neoxaivus]

---

Although being my first game, this has been a solo project for a while as of now, and I
choose to admit that I could use some community help to make this game possible and to be an
enjoyable experience.

Pokémon Zircon Version is a retro-style game based on the GBC-era games made with the
Essentials GBC Engine (uses Essentials v21.1), and it will take place in a new
region called Tanzos.​

---

Will update over time!

In this game, you initially start out as the assistant of Professor Jade, but after an
incident involving a fall into a mysterious sinkhole in the nearby forest, you meet your
partner Pokémon Charcadet and discover in a secluded part of the cave, the mythic Spectrum
Diamond, a mysterious gemstone that contains the power of all elemental types. Since this
discovery, you are now tasked with guarding the diamond while defending Tanzos from the
return of the once-banished evil team, the Noxious Brigade. You will meet new characters, and
possibly some old ones, as you adventure through the expansive region. While you are at it,
you can also participate in the Tanzos League challenge and become the region's new
champion.

[Neoxaivus]

Much needed bump. We are still looking for artist, as they are the main thing needed at this point.

Also welcoming AOZero2 to the team! He is joining in as a composer for this game. The OP will be updated with this information.

 

[Neoxaivus]

Joining in as both a writer and balancer is @Forest of Eden! With that, we are closing positions for writers and balancers, unfortunately.

The OP is updated with this new information.

 

[Neoxaivus]

We finally got a much needed artist with @Omen_Izunia comes into the team! No need to worry as we are still accepting more.

OP is updated with this information.

 

[Neoxaivus]

Another much needed bump. We are greatly looking for artists of all kinds right now.

 

[Neoxaivus]

Another much needed bump. Still looking for important artists.

In other news, we got a very important engine upgrade! We now have jumped to Essentials GBC that uses v21.1. This should allow for a lot of new features moving forward.

In members, another sprite artist, Kester Hendrick, joined as well! This however wraps up spriters for Pokemon, but not yet for everything else.

 

[thebigguy270]

If you guys need new maps, I'm your man

 

[Neoxaivus]

Bump! Still looking for artists, as well as programmers now.

However, the OP has gotten quite the upgrade now. Why not check it out?
