Popular Post Ekat Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Overview Perhaps you are wondering where the "Redux" in this game's title comes from. For that, there is a long answer and a short answer. The Long: Pokémon Pumpkin is my second completed fangame, which I released in 2018. For those who know me from other sites, yes, Pokémon Castaway came out before Pumpkin. However, Pumpkin's development was finished before I agreed to join Relic Castle's Game Jam Four. Michael and I began talking because he showed up in my DMs demanding to test and I was too shy to say no volunteered to playtest Pumpkin. Things just rolled from there. A full year has passed since then. During that time I've started my most ambitious project yet with Michael, completed another tiny fangame, abandoned two other personal projects, and left the wonderful Pokémon Umbra team to focus on myself. (Alright, that should be enough plugs.) Though this is the long explanation, I won't get into the nitty-gritty. What I will say is that I've been very conflicted since the summer about the quality of my work and what I want my fangames to be. I found myself questioning everything from graphical styles to gameplay mechanics. In the end, I decided that I would remake Pokémon Pumpkin into a game I respect more. Pumpkin will never be perfect, but I wanted to do it a little more justice with the dev skills I have built up over the past year. In addition, I have to give a really big thanks to @Michael_ for all the hard work he put into this game. He helped me revamp trainer sprites, and puzzle out the logistics (or lack thereof) of coding. He dragged me out of the angst (a bit more literally than you'd think) and motivated me to finish this redux. The Short: Old game bad. New game less bad. Visual Comparisons What does this mean? 1. Can I transfer my save from old Pumpkin to Pumpkin Redux? Unfortunately, you cannot. There are a number of mapping and eventing differences that will inevitably result in softlocks, bugs, and other sequential problems. 2. Do I need to play old Pumpkin to understand Pumpkin Redux? Nope! The story's gone through a couple logistical refinements, but it's all the same in the end. 3. I found a bug in the old game, can you help me out? First of all, don't play the old version if you somehow got ahold of it. The answer is yes, but please DM me rather than posting the bug on the thread. I'd prefer to keep problems with the new game here now, so there isn't confusion. The Story The game takes place over a single day, October 31st. Being the sugar-starved child that you are, you convince your overprotective sister to let you set out on a trick-or-treating adventure across the region. Her only condition? (Beyond staying on the path, not seeking out serial killers, and looking both ways before crossing the street.) Be home before midnight. Collect candy, make some unlikely friends, and solve a few mysteries along the way! Features Reveal hidden contents A trick-or-treating system An informal candy economy: trade your sweets for certain Pokémon, helpful items, and other useful supplies A major trainer battle and encounter overhaul to increase difficulty Around 8 to 16 hours of gameplay A murder-mystery-solving segment A walkthrough for the aforementioned murder-mystery segment, should that not be your jam Pokémon from up to gen 7 The plot twist is probably not that you were a real ghost the entire time There's uh, probably some semblance of writing in this somewhere Screenshots Reveal hidden contents Download Link Reveal hidden contents Mediafire - http://www.mediafire.com/file/v4l8nqfdovik8br/Pumpkin_REDUX_Version_1.3_-_Drive_Mirror_Attempt.zip/file Credits Reveal hidden contents (If I have forgotten to include someone, or if a credit is incorrect, please point it out to me via DM or comment on the thread.)

Scyl Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Quote 3. Can I demand to be a playtester to gain early access to the game? While I appreciate your offer of help, I feel I don't need it at the moment. Pumpkin is a fairly small game.

Reveal hidden contents I start with the gameplay, it's so much fun, i really like the halloween idea and the jokes. What i don't like is that so many persons want to trade items or Pokemons and you forget so fast because then five new ones come and you think: "Dammit who was the one who wanted to give me the dusk balls". Now the graphics: So funny and nice. I wish i could make such good graphics. Really, it's such a good work. And lastly the music: The music choices you made are really good and i hope you don't get in trouble because of them. So yeah, i really like this game and hope that i will enjoy the rest of this game even more! Expand There's a guide in the folder with all the trades so it doesn't get all that cluttered. It contains everything from eggs to candy trades so it should help you out in that regard! Most, if not all of the music comes from other Nintendo games or final fantasy so I doubt any companies are gonna destroy us for it.

TheVentusX Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Can we get Rotom? Since there is this room in Hawthorne mansion with the gadgets and I didn´t find any clues in the guide... Apart from this, the game is awesome I like the story, the graphics and the music. The best thing (so far) is the murder investigation segment wish I had known about this games existence before halloween, but still good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
