Pokemon Farm

[Actingman00]

I do know my mapping is not the best, I made up some maps to post here to show some stuff.  It's all mostly test stuff right now.  I spent most of my time working on the systems.  I will make the mapping less bland, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm keeping the RTP as I like it.  I could use some RTP Pokemon charactersets but I don't want to ask somebody to make 50 of them!

... A lot of work that not a lot of people will really put up with. I guess all I have to say now is "wish you luck" >_>

Thank you

The mapping's not the best, but hey; it's a lot better than anything the official pokemon games have to offer.

I agree with you about not using pokemon tilesets; they simply wouldn't look right.

Do you have eyes?

How the hell could Pokemon graphics not look right?

I for one like this project.  The mapping's not the best, but hey; it's a lot better than anything the official pokemon games have to offer.

I would suggest you take a look at Venetia's tilesets, which can be found a couple pages back in the resource analysis board. They would fit perfectly with your game, and they're free to use in non-commercial games.

... I seriously hate it when people sugar-coat information like this. Let's face it, this project NEEDS help, giving bull just to make someone "feel good" doesn't help them at all. I'd be more pissed if someone decided to play soft with critique of my work than otherwise.

I'm not sugar-coating anything.  I think he's got a solid concept. His mapping isn't good, but it's not as bad as some of the mappers here. Most of all it's not completely square, unlike quite a few early projects that have terrible mapping; he can work from what he's got to make interesting maps.

I much prefer Harvest Moon graphics to pokemon.  The RTP isn't either of those, but it's more suited to a farming game than pokemon graphics. Though I still think he needs something more than RTP to truly give it the feel he's looking for.

If you wanted to mix the two styles, you're better off using  Breeze.  It has the potential to be  good, you just need to  stop disregarding what everyone is trying to say to help you.

Pokemon graphics are far more suitable for someone who doesn't know how to fill space and this is a pokemon game, its called Pokemon farm.  Pokemon graphics is the only choice to go with unless you can make GOOD custom graphics.

I'm not disregarding it, but this is my game and I just don't want to use the Pokemon Graphics.  I'm trying to go for more of a Harvest Moon feel, than a Pokemon feel. 

Pokemon is a big part of the game, but there's so much more to it as well.  My goal is to make it so you can play through the entire game without really exploring the routes and still have fun.

I notice my maps are bare, and I am going to fix that up by adding things in.  Thanks for the comments there.

As for the Breeze tilesets, I want to use them but I don't want to spend forever getting graphics for the game.  I just want to complete the game, I don't want to spend the entire time looking for graphics.

Yes i know but theres alot of Pokemon tileset and Sprite.
I'll be much easier and look more Pokemonish.

P.S
I know is your game but im just giving advice.

If you want to just complete the game, then you can make one map, make it suck, and upload it.  You can't just say what you are going for style-wise and that makes an excuse for clashing graphics.  Either get some Harvest Moon Pokemon graphics or some Pokemon Harvest Moon graphics.

You should make it live up to the real pokemon farm game, the one coming onto Wii Ware

In light of the fact that the title Pokemon Farm has already been taken, I propose a new title: HarvestMon.

:>

 

[Xilef]

It's a pokemon game, so a more fitting title would be Pokemon Ranger.

I have a lot of pokemon resources if you want them, you seem reluctant to use pokemon graphics, but if you change your mind then just PM me.

Wow... N64 graphics. :P

 

[Overlord76]

Did you seriously just combine havest moon with pokemon............. :crazy:

 

[Anonymous]

man this has such good potential but i can't help but think it'll go horribly wrong

i mean a HARVEST MOON/POKéMON crossover is literally THE COOLEST THING i have ever heard of but i doubt that this will reach its full potential. someone suggested earlier making it more like harvest moon, but with pokémon helping out - this could be INCREDIBLE if pulled off correctly (machops taking away your crops at the end of the day, a growlithe instead of a dog, etc.). canonically pokémon are already used as sustenance (see slowpoketails and veilstone's myth) so you could use really any flying-type pokémon to replace the chickens (maybe doduo) and miltank for the cows. basically a harvest moon fangame (possibly in the graphical style of the harvest moon series (pokémon would be so fucking cute in that style holy shit)) in the pokémon world, maybe with an (interesting) pokémon-influenced storyline (that is to say, not about fusion machines).

suffice to say, please don't ruin this! this is an EXCELLENT IDEA and if you pull this off properly you will officially be THE coolest person on the site.

also: pokémon farm on wii is HORRIBLE never bring it up again. whatever stage this particular project reaches will be 30x better than that abomination.

This does have a lot of potential but only if you fix the graphics. (consider hiring a spriter)

 

[Neverplayd]

Well, I'm not sure where you are in consideration of using pokemon graphics or not. But this link might help you out:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=102782
There are some good pokemon resources there.

 

[Actingman00]

Okay, I get it you hate the RTP, but I'm sorry.  I don't have any skill in spriting and I don't want to spend forever getting people to make me graphics.

I might consider using Breeze or something, but just stop with telling me to get other graphics.   As for Pokemon tilesets, my game just doesn't work with them.  This is supposed to be more of a Harvest Moon game but with the Pokemon and exploring added to it.  If I could sprite then I would make my own creatures and make my game use those instead. I know you're only trying to help, but it gets old.

I understand. It doesn't matter whether you use pokemon graphics or RTP, as long as you can pull it off. You can still use the link since you still need some pokemon graphics in your Harvest Moon/ Pokemon game. (It was in my favorites, but I just thought you might've needed it)

Thanks for the link, it seems like it might have some stuff I need.  I'll favorite it in case I ever do need it.
