Okay so these are awesome so I officially ask if you want to still join the Darkness team now. It's okay about the white background, you can still easily see them. Just as feedback, the left sprite is a little skinny but the other 2 are really well done in my opinion. Please PM me and micky33000000 as a single conversation so my team can start knowing each other and me and micky can discuss things with you if possible. What kind of game are you planning to do though? Thanks and have a great night/day.

that's a pretty good sprite and I would like to see your best if you have a sprite showing that easily available. That way I can see what your maximum skill right now is and I'm also wondering that if you can become better, would you be willing to practice, learn and become better over time? Thanks for showing me your references and sorry about being picky. I trust you are a good spriter but I just want to be sure. Have a great day/night.

Ahh okay. The skateboard and motorbike are really good appearance wise so amazing job for that. Do you mind if I ask if you have any trainer sprites you have done to use as a better reference then we can proceed. If you don't have any, I'll add you to the team and ask you to make one of the sprites that will be in the game and it'll be a test to see your skills if that's okay with you. Thanks for showing interest in Pokemon Darkness though because it is much appreciated.

WOW Solarance. Great introduction to the project much. ;D I'm serious because that super smash bros challenger approaching image is AMAZING. So as Solarance has said, he has joined the Darkness team as PBS editor and we on Darkness greatly appreciate and thank him for all his hard work because I feel doing PBS files is a tedious project over time. In response to WSGreen, we do still need spriters and if you made those speed demon sprites, OMG you're talented and we would be honoured if you would do some sprites for Darkness and absolutely you can be a beta tester if you happen to do sprites for the game but even if you can't do sprites, you will still be a beta tester for sure. Have a great night/day everyone.

UPDATE: First gym leader sprite is completed thanks to SHIA's amazing work and time put in. We at Darkness really appreciate them making the sprite for us. Can you guess what the first gym type will be? First, make a guess without looking at the spoiler then look afterwards. Hope this shows the game is doing well for development so far. Thanks and have a great day/night.

Hey Azery. Happy birthday man. I hope your birthday has been amazing and full of fun and happiness today. Fellow November birthday buddies! Good luck with Se7en and Redemption League.

I would ask Ice Cream since she has finished the demo about how to progress. If you don't believe that Alice's sprite fits due to the surrounding environment in the game, I would suggest letting the creator know this so he can think and decide if he wants to change the sprite to fit better for the game or not. The site I linked in the first post has the website link and it has a forum where you can leave your comments. Up to you but I would let him know.

Hello Umbri. I appreciate that you would like to participate and there is definitely lots of opportunity to do so. You can definitely be a beta tester and since you are willing to learn about programming and coding, I added you to the PM with skullgasher to see what we are discussing since it is very vital for you to know about we are talking about. You are awesome and a great member for this game because you have the same love as I do for pokemon and Mystery Dungeon and that's why I wanted to try to do a game which features and implements both types of game. You can make additions at the least by giving constructive feedback on what is being done anytime you feel and the team will be sure to pay attention and see if we can implement what you are saying. Thanks for the kind words and for wanting to see this take off. Have a great night/day. Seems like a fangame with a lot of potential. I can sprite somewhat, but due to school and stuff I usually lack the time. However, if you need a little bit of help then you can PM me for some spriting ideas and such. And I can assist testing the game when the Beta comes out Thanks for the kind words. If you would like to help with spriting, you can take your time and still be a huge help. Just PM me so I know you are interested and so I can PM you for spriting ideas. You can definitely be a beta tester though. Good luck with the game! I have a question for everyone. When people say spriting ideas, what do you mean? Do you mean I can give you ideas and you sprite or asking you for ideas on how the Darkness game sprites should look? Both you and Honchy said something relating to spriting ideas and I just wanted to clarify what you meant.

Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I don't know if hacking is the same as coding/programming but if other people let me know it is, then since we are looking for coder/programmers (experienced or people willing to improve their current skills), if you are interested, please pm me and micky soon so we can talk to you about working with us to make the game. RPG Maker XP after doing some research is available on Mac but requires a bit of extra steps to make it work and if that's okay with you, it's fine with us. Thanks and have a great night/day. In response to Krim, that's awesome then and I'm glad to have you as a beta tester then. Difficulty of the game is I would say somewhere around Reborn and sure if you can think of suggestions for improving teams, we'll be glad to hear them and implement them if we agree with them. It's not too easy trust me. The ace of the first leader is a fully evolved (legit and possible) pokemon so it's tough at the start at least. In the development of this game, I'm going episode by episode so I overload on everything.

There's a lot of development actually. Like I mentioned in the main post, most of episode 1 story as well as characters appearing in that episode are known and their personalities and bios are known. The human world known as Gaia and the design of it is also known and we are in progress of working on the region map for Gaia. There's a lot more we have such as gym leader order, elite 6 order, who's bad and good etc. Did I answer your question well? ;D Sure you can be a beta tester. Thanks for your interest and I hope when the game is released, it will be one of those good pokemon games you want and I agree that being able to contribute to a developing project would be/is sweet. It's much appreciated. I'll post here in the main post if we have enough beta testers so if anyone knew to the thread is interested, feel free to ask. Thanks.

Sure Pata you can be a beta tester. Since people are already interested in being beta testers, I think it is a good time to explain what beta testers would do. If you become a beta tester, I will expect you to provide bug reports so the coding/programming and other bugs can be addressed and fixed for a better experience later. In addition, I will expect you to be harsh and critical and to provide lots of feedback on everything that makes the game because that way it can be improved. Anything else a beta tester usually does that I missed? Please let me know and I'll edit this later.

Hello Dragon. Oh okay that's fine then but if your situation changes and you would like to help, just let me know. Sure you can be a beta tester when it's available. Have a great day/night. Honchy sure you can be a spriter but can I see some previous work you have done through a pm please. Thanks for your interest.

UPDATE August 11, 2016 - Team Darkness is looking for an experienced GFX Artist so if you are interested in joining this awesome project, please PM me or BlueMoonIceCream thanks. I am doing a game called Pokemon Darkness which I wanted to strongly do because I have had a love of fan-games ever since Reborn, Rejuvenation and Insurgence were made. Through working on Revolution and gaining development experience, it made me a much better person and I learned a lot through that experience and game’s development. What makes my game great and the reason you should join Darkness is because it combines the two different playstyles and worlds of Mystery Dungeon games and usual Pokemon gameplay into one giving players a wide variety to experience throughout the game. I have completed the episode 1 story for the most part, thought of the general plot, worlds, characters, have bios for characters in episode 1 for the game, etc and I have come to the point where I would need a motivated and patient team to help me make the game the best it can be. Just as an addition, I would like to let all potential applicants know that they will always be able to give their feedback/opinions on everything within the project and will be vital to making the game the best possible. I might have most of episode 1’s story done but if the new team has criticisms and suggestions for improvements, I’m willing to take them into thought when doing the story for example. I will make sure to keep a positive environment for the team as much as possible and to be communicative and supportive of what the team does. Features Level caps 2 different evil teams in the game 12 badges and Elite Six Personalized TMs as in each gym leader will have their own TMs Different movesets, typings and stats as necessary for Pokemon who need them or deserve them - example: Luxray is electric mono but it should have been dark too. Multiple Difficulties (Normal and Hard) Different types of Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Darkness - Darkened and Delta Pokemon like Deltas from the TCG Characters seen in the game will be in side plots (side plots for episode 1 are known) Sidequests present in the two worlds of the game and as the player progresses through the game and pathways for storyline are present Different ways to evolve Pokemon will be implemented - special circumstances such as the partner gotten from MD evolves at set points in the game Plot: Pokemon Darkness takes place in 2 worlds which are very different from each other but that will be connected through something happening in the MD world which opens the connection with Gaia (the human world). Throughout Darkness, the player will battle the rising threat in both worlds and will see different sides to the evil organization and the two worlds they will explore. Elements of Darkness that separate it from other fan-games out there include that the game will have an interesting and attention grabbing plot that players would love to experience through playing the game. I am not afraid to deviate from the Pokemon formula if I feel it’s necessary such as having 12 leaders (instead of 8 or 18) and Elite Six instead of the usual 4. Another attribute that makes my game great is that not only will you see and experience characters in the game but at the end of current plots, you will be able to experience what they have in what I call side plots and I haven’t seen another fan-game yet with this feature. What We Need: Currently, Pokemon Darkness is looking for an experienced GFX artist for making cutscenes and support banners for Pokemon Darkness. If you are interested, please contact me, Micky or JakeLong through PM or by posting on this thread and we appreciate all the help we can get. Thanks. Screenshots: (More will be added as progress is made and every 2 weeks on Saturdays) Music BEING WORKED ON CURRENTLY SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. Thanks for your interest and checking this out and have a great day/night. P.S. I would just like to thank my good friends Trevo, Commander, Jacobliterator, Amethyst, Arkhidon, Micky33000000 and the Se7en team for helping make this thread the best it can be and I greatly appreciated all their help for this game so far. If I have forgotten anyone who helped, I'm sorry and know your help was also appreciated. Pokemon Darkness NOW HAS A TWITTER which you can follow for game development and updates and some of the team will be tweeting along with me over time. We hope you are hyped as we work on this because we promise it will be amazing. The Twitter is @@PokemonXDrkness if you're interested in seeing the twitter. July 15th, 2016 - Pokemon Darkness Twitter is back and running so follow if you want to see some updates and information over time. From now on, Pokemon Darkness as suggested by Trevore will be doing a Corocoro leak kind of thing but every two weeks on Saturday, I will show more aspects of Darkness. One hint coming in the next leak is the layout for the game's releases. I hope you're excited for everything to come. Progress:

Oh okay. Thanks Ark for checking it out then. I'm glad I'm able to make this thread and discuss it whenever people play it now and not get the creator in trouble then. I was also wondering why it got moved back but oh well.

I asked the question so thanks for answering then. Let's be honest, Glitch's music/remixes are awesome so why wouldn't he use it. Reborn also is an amazing game so him taking inspiration from the game isn't a bad thing in my opinion.

I really like that this game is episodic. Reborn and Rejuvenation brought that development format into existence so it's great because I love the episodic format for games now. I agree though other than the sprites issue, the game is really well made so far, characters look good, settings, etc are looking good.

Oh this got moved. I saw the Super Eevee thread in Pokemon Fan Club and this forum and I didn't know which one it would go in so to be safe, I did Fan Club but if it's here, that's cool too. Thanks for moving it then.

OHHHHH. oops sorry my bad. But is the Luna he's referencing in the plot the same Luna from Reborn or a separate new character for his game? My goal wasn't to get the guy in trouble but I just was wondering if maybe he got permission from Ame to do what he is and thus can continue with his game. I don't like people who just mooch or copy other people's hard work, it's not a good idea to do that. I didn't notice rejuvenation sprites there but if that's true, he's in double trouble potentially. Still a cool game concept for future fangames IF they get permission from Ame to use a character to make a game about. Sorry about the double post- I was just responding to Ark and couldn't during responding to Ice Cream because Ark's post appeared while I was doing the first post.

Oh really that is a coincidence then. How do you know it's not Luna from Reborn because by using the same sprite, it makes you think it is at the least. The sprite is really good though so props to Alice then for doing a great job but he also recolored aster's sprite which is Reborn's property no? If there is no conflicts, I most likely will try this game out
