Abhimanyu Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Now, we discussed the possibility of a game set in a region based off of Egypt. I was hesitant to announce this because I've seen many fangames that never got off the ground, plus I really don't have anything solid to offer with this game. Heck, I don't even have a name for the region. I guess this isn't the ideal time to announce something like this especially since September is only a few days away. Who wants to help make this concept a reality? All help is appreciated, I only have people working on story right now. It would be really great if I could get a good spriter to help me with trainer sprites, because I lack artistic ability. FEATURES: We do have a few ideas on what to include in the game: -All Pokemon are available (including legendaries, mythical and pseudo-legendary Pokemon) -Romance (player will have the option to romance other characters as the game progresses) -New Pokemon variant form I'll update this regularly, so you guys can see the progress we make. (Sorry I was away, so I didn't get anything done. I'll update this soon.) Cheers, Abhimanyu Edited September 17, 2017 by Abhimanyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarth Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Oh, this looks fine. A region based off Egypt? Alright. I can dig it. This overall seems rather okay, but nothing too-- 3 hours ago, Abhimanyu said: -Romance (player will have the option to romance other characters as the game progresses) 👀👀👀 I'm interested...

Octavius Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good luck to you in your endeavors. Let me know if you're interested in some re-balanced game content. I have a professional document of balance changes for various pre-existing game content that has been overlooked or neglected by GameFreak. I'm unfortunately not a coder or spriter, so I hope you can find someone there. But I am a writer. Feel free to sample some of my work below.

Star Arcana Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 OOOh, I can totally see potential in this idea; there's just so much you can do. Having a pyramid, sphinx-like figure (as either a monument or Pokémon), tomb (the non-pyramid kind), oasis, major river, important library (akin to the Library of Alexandria), ruins, vast markets, there's so many possibilities. Having such a vast history, you can draw upon a number of different influences, and it still works (such as mixing the Library of Alexandria with the Sphinx). This also brings many options for Pokémon. I can see a cat-legendary, as felines were scared and Bast is an important deity. If you go the route of making the Sphinx into a Pokémon, having it be a pseudo-leggie might be a good route. Also, having a water-based hippo and a ground camel might be two options, as well as a scarab. I'm getting too hyped cx And instead of braille, you could use a type of Hieroglyph, and have a Rosetta Stone-like monument to help decode. Or have Alola Pokémonish regional variant on Unown, and they could be Hieroglyphs. Okay, I'll stop now, haha. Needless to say, I'd be interested in helping with ideas! And, like Nyarth, having romance options would be awesome. If possible, having options to bond with some of the major NPCs, even platonic, would be nice. Perhaps like relationship scores, which could in-turn influence certain events? Now, I'll really stop this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Ruby Red Posted September 17, 2017 Veterans Share Posted September 17, 2017 I can help out with character spriting and character concept art Also, the moment I read that it was going to be based off Egypt, I felt super happy since I'm from the Middle-East and I never thought anyone would ever think of making a fangame based from there.

Do you have any ideas for a rival trainer perhaps? I haven't thought much on the protags and their rival(s) yet, but I do have an idea for who a key NPC could be. Egyptians did use Oracles to relay messages between the deities and mortals, so maybe someone serves that roles, but with legendaries. My only idea for the protags as of now is having them be related to the last royal family of the land; basically, they have pharaoh blood. This is what makes them special, and how they can get so strong in such a short time span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
