Real-time Combat, Ep 11: The iterative process of creating an attack pattern!

Skip to 2:15 for the full battle!

Today I have a montage of building the attack pattern for Swift, where I paused along the way to take clips of the pattern after each step of the process.

I had to...

  1. Get the opponent to spawn in a randomly-chosen corner of the screen (this alone is astonishingly complicated)
  2. Have it throw obstacles across the screen in a preset movement path.
  3. Discontinue the obstacles when they pass the boundary box edges
  4. Once all that's in place, have it throw three cycles of obstacles as it moves across the screen.
  5. Test out different boundary box sizes to see what feels most appropriate
  6. Refine the pattern with a prep graphic (signals "I'm about to attack"), a sound effect, and a staggered entrance for a more visually stimulating pattern.

Fortunately I have a lot of the systems in place: a handful of preset Boundary Boxes to choose from, forcing the attack patterns to stay inside the boundary box, enforcing collision when the player overlaps with an attack, etc. But the obstacle movement itself is unique to each attack.

Overcoming procrastination is the hardest part. I stalled on this for a month, then put it together in a few hours once I put my mind to it!

Australian region map

Hi all we've been showing off some of the wonderful Pokemon of the OZ-zee region and thought why show the region map?

So this is the region map at the moment. So up to the gym 3. But we 'd like to hear what you think of it so far.

Here’s some Pokemon Evolutions I’ve Commissioned for the game I want to make!

Delcatty’s evo becomes Normal / Fairy
Hypno’s becomes Psychic / Rock
Noctowl has a split evo, one Flying/Psychic the other Flying/Ghost (These two are my favourite so far)
Farfetch’d outside of Galar get a Fairy/Flying Evo,
Furret’s is Normal / Ground
Tropius is Grass/Dragon
And Arbok is Poison/Dark…. Or Maybe Poison/Psychic for the hypnotism? Hmmm…

Either way, these were all drawn and are being sprited by KajiAtsui!

I have about 70 new evos planned. And if I can earn enough money after I move countries I’ll do 50 more on top of that :)

Can you help me think of some names for them?

Why are these "X's" here?

I just downloaded essentials and when I opened it in RMXP this is what I saw... Why are there so many "X's" where tilesets should be?

Is there any way to disable ready menu temporarily?

Please, I just want to temporarily disable the ready(registered items) menu, alongside normal main menu. I know how to disable the main menu with event scripts, but that doesn't apply to the ready menu unfortunately.

Thank you for any help!

First own Pokemon sprite

Hey guys, i want to create a number of alternative forms for my Game and already have a few Pokemon in mind i want to give alternative forms. I tried to make my first own sprite and would love to hear some feedback and advise. One thing i noticed is that the official sprites look softer somehow or is it just my imagination?

It's supposed to be a Fire/Poison type Staryu.

Four strange new variants have been discovered throughout the Hoenn region in Pokemon Omegatastrophe! Which one is your favourite! 🦉🐸🐍🦕

Decidueye - the Sharpshooter Pokemon (Grass/Fire)
This form of Decidueye wanders the many deserts of the Hoenn region, adapting to withstand the heat of the sun, even at high noon. It has traded arrows for bullets made of seeds filled with highly flammable sap, and it launches these bullets at high speeds by creating a spark with its feathers. It is neither hero nor villain, taking down any who stand in its way with a single shot.

Greninja - the Manipulator Pokemon (Psychic/Poison)
With limited water in most of the region, Greninja are only found in swamp environments, where mud and slime provide it the moisture it needs to survive, giving it a toxic disposition, and the abilities to match it. It has become slothful, and so combines poison and psychic power to corrupt the minds of the Pokemon around it, and force them to do its bidding.

Serperior - the Petrifying Pokemon (Rock/Grass)
Struggling to acquire enough water, Serperior became almost stationary, spending all of their time absorbing as much sunlight as possible, only moving to strike at unsuspecting prey that gets too close. Over time, the species became stone-like, completely resembling statues, save the swirling vines on their heads, which can deliver a truly petrifying glare to their opponents.

Meganium - the Hero Pokemon (Steel/Fighting)
Though Chikorita are typically weak and frail, after evolving into the Hero Pokemon Meganium, their body is clad in a steely armor. This armor is tough, honed from dedication, and it is only outclassed in strength by the Pokemon's own spirit. They lead herds of weaker Pokemon, protecting those who cannot protect themselves with their sword and shield, standing in the face of villainy and injustice.

Osprey inspired Fakemon for Louisiana based fan game

Today we have some birds that are ready for their mission! Base on the Osprey, we have Opspree (Normal/Flying), a young, dedicated and disciplined Pokemon with a rich history with the Lebeaux region. Opspree travel in flocks, or, "squads", of 7, with one whom they designate as their "squad leader". In the wild, this pokemon and their squad look after each other, while also laying their lives on the line to protect weaker pokemon that need their help. Selfless and courageous, this pokemon never backs down from a fight, and will never leave a mission unaccomplished. Many trainers favor this pokemon for it's undying loyalty. Long ago, before the Lebeaux region was united, the parishes, or cities and towns, would use Opspree in their in-fighting, utilizing it's unwavering courage and strength to fight their wars for them. But now, since the region has united, this pokemon is used by local law enforcement for similar reasons. Upon evolution, it becomes Stratospree (Normal/Flying), dubbed, "The General of the Skies". Aside from the region's legendary pokemon, there is no equal among any of the Pokemon of the Lebeaux region, when it comes to air superiority. Unlike when it was an Opspree, Stratospree fly alone, completing solo missions with precision. During war time, this Pokemon would run stealth missions at night, laying siege to enemy positions and even towns. Now, this pokemon is used to transport people, pokemon and cargo across the region. It's massive size and speed make it a reliable pokmeon. Thank you to the talented u/Puzzleheaded-Dust403 for the amazing drawing! Would love to hear feedback on design and lore. ALSO, if you'd like to join the discord and following along with with the progress of the game, here's the link! https://discord.gg/37dy4MUSsM

Making a single experience

Hey all!

I am not really a computer wizz but I would really like to make a very, very short game as a present for a friend.

It would be a character walking into a champion fight with a pre equipped team against a champion, then the battle finishes.

I would like to create a custom champion room and import some music into the scene.

Would it be particularly difficult as a complete noob to try to make something like this using the RMXP maker, is it even worth doing?

I know pokemon showdown exists but this simply sounds more fun!

Thanks :)

Making my own region as a 2.5 gen Gameboy game - Update #1

Hey there, I've been hard at work on my solo project, Pokémon Victory!

The games takes place in a Greece inspired region built around the theme of the Poké Olympics, a region wide competition with 10 different events.

The game will have an open world structure as well as 140 new Fakemon. All of them are already designed and every pokemon new and old will also have original sprites :)

No demo for the foreseeable future, but still wanted to showcase some early locations and fakemon.

Good afternoon! I’ve just started playing Pokémon Rejuvenation on JoiPlay, but all the city images/maps are heavily distorted. I already tried optimizing the maps in JoiPlay, which improved things a little, but the issue is still pretty much the same. Could anyone help me, please?
