Tronozoid9000 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Would it be ok if I made my own pokemon game using the reborn game engine? I'm looking to make a pokemon game for the first time and it seems like Reborn would be easier to edit that a ROM. Similarly, what programs would I use to edit tilesets and maps?

Darvan Korematsu Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The program you would use is something called RPGMaker and you would use a file called Pokemon Essentials to help you make it. Honestly I've never made a game before, but it will be very time consuming and that is the program you need. Good luck in your endeavor bud.

Developers Jan Posted September 23, 2015 Developers Share Posted September 23, 2015 There was a thread similar to this about using Reborn's resources. It's fine as long as you give credit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 You'll need to be more specific when you say make it from Reborn's engine. Reborn is not a ROM hack but a fan game (like Insurgence, Zeta/Omicron, Uranium and so on). Pokemon Reborn is made using RPGMakerXP (a program made by enterbrain that can be bought for around $30). Pokemon Essentials is a scripts/ graphics/ sounds package that works inside of RPGMaker and can be downloaded for free. All of these things can be used by anyone and used pretty easily. If you need a tutorial on how to make your game with these two things I'd look up the series by AtomicReactor on youtube which will cover the basics. However, you cannot (and it isn't practical to) take the maps used in Reborn and just cover them over with other tiles and change the events. With credit you can use some of the game's graphics and scripts but not the game itself. When Ame completes the game she will open it to user mods (e.g. changes of difficulty of Reborn itself). So pretty much- you can use the same tools as Ame and some of her resources but you can't build your game off Reborn itself (this would be much harder and more limiting anyway!).

Tronozoid9000 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 My plan was to make my own maps tilesets and scripts (using pre existing ones as guidance), but to keep the "fields" because I think the idea for the terrain to be effecting a battle is really neat. Thanks for the download link and for pointing me in the right direction guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the download link and for pointing me in the right direction guys! Get permission from Ame to use her fields (I don't think that this will be a problem but you should check). You'll need to replace the scripts in the default with Reborn's scripts to properly implement them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagoen Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 like what other people said, its fine to use reborn's files! just cite the developers of reborn and you'll be fine! also, welcome to reborn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashingStorm Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's not fine to simply "use" Reborn's files. 1) Ask the creator for permission 2) Do not ask us for Reborn's internal files/scripts/whatever 3) Do not expect anyone and everyone to lend you a hand willingly. My plan was to make my own maps tilesets and scripts (using pre existing ones as guidance), but to keep the "fields" because I think the idea for the terrain to be effecting a battle is really neat. Thanks for the download link and for pointing me in the right direction guys! You're better off creating a game from scratch and actually learn what you're doing instead of simply "borrowing" another game's files and having no idea what you're trying to do.
