I started working on my own game recently! (mainly just some sprites for now) I’m not trying to step and any toes cause I know there’s already Lard and Xyon (which I’ve help make some sprites for) but I feel like there’s not enough weight gain P**k.*mon games. Right now it’s still very early development like I still need to figure out story and all that…
Here a few of the sprites I’ve made/are making for it. Some critique would be nice and if y’all have any spriteing tutorials (especially for fat sprites) that would be very helpful!!!)
The first 2 are nice, just the left hand of the 2nd picture looks a little weird to me.
But the 3rd image looks off. The lack of shadows makes the dress and her arms look off or blends some parts (I didn’t notice the left arm until a closer inspection.
But the shapes looks nice though. If I knew how, I would like to do or even work on a pkmn wg game. (I’m working on a romhack in fact).
Your sprites are looking awesome! Definitely wait to see them in-game one day. And if you are taking requests, could you do the female swimmer from Heartgold? If not it’s no worries! I just remember having a crush on her wayyyy back when I was a kid
Here’s some more sprites I’ve gotten done! Nessa and Raihan were actually requested by some people on other platforms! I’m working on that HGSS swimmer sprite currently and I got a decent amount requested afterwards!
im in the process of making a discord server for those who wanna follow the project more closely or wanna help out! I’ll post the link when I think it’s completely set up!
I don’t plan on it! I do want some difficult fights like pre remake Cynthia and Volo. But not all the fights will be difficult. I’m also thinking of adding a rechallenge system for the gym leaders! So each fight they will be bigger and with tougher teams so I may make their difficulty increase too with each rechallenge
Well the plan is for the player character to gain weight but we are trying to think of a way to make the player not to immobile like some other RPGs. So you will start skinny.
story wise… we have the basic plot… So to summarize, we are a character who is able to get corrupted by this mysterious thing called “The Bloom”. We learn of a group of villains who plan to weaponize it in order to take over the world, and we want to stop this from happening (or not). Through defeating enough Goons (grunts) and Gym Leaders, and observing the effects of the Bloom for ourselves, we reach a point where we can choose to destroy it and save the world, or join the villains and turn everyone into their “deepest desires”
The original idea for the Bloom was that it was a massive flower in a mystical garden but thinking about making it a Pokemon instead
This seems quite exciting! I have had for a long time interest in fan games like this, which happen to be exceptionally rare I’ve found, to the point that I’ve toyed with the idea of doing it myself, only being stopped because my art skills are a bit lacking at the moment. So seeing that someone else is giving it a go is a welcome surprise.
With that said, I am a bit curious, is the whole WG thing going to have any kind of gameplay impact or will it just be for the sake of the visuals/story? Also, what is Xyon?
Right now we are trying to decide if it will impact game play or not…. I’ve thought about if you get too big, you could possibly blackout similar to how when your whole party faints. But idk if that idea has stuck yet
I definitely could look into that sprite! I’m mainly trying not to do too many notable characters but generic NPC should be no problem!
