Hello everyone! just updated the thread with some cool screenshots we got while testing the demo version! The download link is also there now, be sure to try it out and let us know what you think!

Hello everyone, and I hope you guys are excited for this as we are! I'm proud to announce on behalf of the entire team that Inritum is ready to release it's first demo!! We've worked on it for months, putting together something with what little we had, and I think we've managed to create something quite beautiful! Now, I hope you guys have a fun time testing it out, and we're looking forward to hearing about your opinions and feedback regarding this first bit! Link will be in ⁠the discord!

The project is being developed using the Pokémon Essentials v21.1 and RPGXP Join the new Pokémon Inritum community in discord to have first access to news regarding the server! Overview God, omnipotent and omniscient, had reached a state of boredom that would only be overcome if he committed suicide. For him, non-existence is superior to existence. However, since suicide could only happen in time and space (an action only takes place within these conditions), God splits himself creating Dialga and Palkia. With the external conditions ensured for the decomposition process, there is now a missing entity that manifests God's will to cease: Arceus. Arceus represents will-to-die and will exert its influence on the fact that everything is a finite process. However, in the initial fragmentation of God, another entity was created in addition to these 3: Giratina. Giratina appears as a creation because God had a secondary objective to non-existence: to temporarily experience existence in an "imperfect" way. In separate wills, each one would be a part of God, forgetting that they are part of God. In these manifestations where Pokémon and human beings meet, Giratina is the force of life (or selfishness) that God created to fuel this temporary existence. Without a will-to-live there would be no motivation to continue living. The fragments of God over time only worried about death (which eventually always comes because the main and primordial purpose is non-existence). Observing closely from the Distortion World, Giratina will oppose the acceleration of cosmic death, as he does not believe that the original God already wanted the total cessation of existence. Plot Description In the land of Hessia, where some rare Pokémon wield unimaginable strength, players are drawn into a gripping narrative that delves into the depths of existential philosophy. As you journey through this richly crafted world, you'll uncover the mysteries of the region's troubled past and confront the dark machinations of a nefarious religious cult. With the guidance of a renowned professor studying the genetic potential of Pokémon, players must navigate a web of deception and betrayal, all while testing their skills in intense Pokémon battles against formidable opponents. Along the way, you'll encounter a cast of intriguing characters, each with their own motivations and agendas, as you unravel the secrets hidden within the Zeta Pokémon. But beware, for the cult's sinister leader, guided by the Philosophy of Redemption, seeks to harness the power of Arceus to bring about the end of existence itself. Will you stand against the tide of darkness? Or will you succumb to the allure of power and darkness, shaping the fate of the region and its inhabitants?

Screenshots Progress The idea for this project came around march 2024, my close friend Ajax Lasnamae is the main writter and he is reading a lot of resources to create awesome and complex characters, and a plot full of realistic elements that are merged into the wonderful world of Pokémon. I have mostly a developer background, but I'm trying to learn a bit of everything to be able to bring this project to life! Luckily we have found awesome team members, that love this project as much as we do and our team consists now of 3 spriters, one song artist and one concept artist! Demo has been release earlier than expected! You can download it here. In case you want to be part of this project, feel free to message me here or in discord: bloodyneonz You can also apply by filling this form: https://forms.gle/FdDPe5VSjoVF9dri6 Audio & Art This is an appreciation section to show some love to my amazing team! The first one to join the project besides me and Ajax was Gothmonkey, also known as Danger! Ghosts!, and he is very skilled at making songs for the game. You can check here some of the best work he as done so far: Pokémon Inritum Soundtracks Talking About Dreaming - Title BGM Stuot City - Stuot City BGM Rigor of Discovery - Stuot Lab BGM Swallowed By Earth - Important encounter BGM Be sure to check his other songs as they are really good. Also if you like his work and need custom songs for your game he also takes comissions so be sure to send him a message: Gothmonkey's comissions The second person to join was RoBoNox! He is the main spriter for the game and he joined mostly to learn and improve his skills and we can already see major differences from his delivery speed and quality! Art is the area where I lack the most so his help has been of major importance! Recently he finished the main character male sprites, and I just have to leave it here to share his amazing work. Soon afterwards Wolfluna joined the team as a concept artist, thanks to their assets we improved our initial scene quality by a lot, and they're also working on custom battlebacks for the field system. The next one to join was Sunny and her first task was to design and make the sprites of one of Hessia Gym leaders, Orion, the Ground type Gym leader. You can check some of her work here, or even order some comissions! Last but not least, our most recent member, Syntax, he joined the team very recently but has amazing skills set, he also works on his own game, so he has experience in all part of the development cycle. He's been doing Lyra as his first assigment which is Hessia's first Gym leader and also Orion's little sister: He's also helping me out in improving our current maps and he made our current battle UI! If you need someone for your project he has commissions open to help out, feel free to reach out to him over here!
