There are some good things about that project. The battle formula seems to be there and working but that project has pretty poor scalability. What I mean by that is that if you wanted to add 100 more moves and monsters, you would need way more scripts, but for collab monsters you just need to insert new values into lists. Also the way the maps are set up have the same problem, to much coding for each area when only insertion of new values should be required.

So other than scalability that project seems pretty good. I hope for this version to be similar to yours, only much bigger like a full game. I'll consider you for inclusion in this, the only problem is if you can't give too much time then you may not be able to help when needed.

Okay, your call. Either way, I look forward to seeing the end result. smile

Oh archmage, I think you might have missed it, but I updated the battle system on the previous page to make it more pokemon-like.

archmage · 2011-03-14 20:33:52

Yeah I saw it smile

Can't do too much until Thursday though.

If anyone wants to make an advertisement, that would be good. It will have the visuals of the GBA pokemon titles.

PokemonMeteorite · 2011-03-15 17:53:48

I'm willing to do anything. I'm good in graphics such as Scratch Splicing Recoloring, and a Mapper. I can learn how to program if you want me to.

archmage · 2011-03-15 18:08:34

There is no reclouring for this, its either original or ripped. I don't think you can join this because you are just a new scratcher, I don't think you have the experience for this.

Sure thing, name?

archmage · 2011-03-15 19:38:58

You can pick the name smile

But the ad should have a movie of a pokemon trainer walking, battle screen coming out, whatever else. It should represent gameplay.

Am I a Sound Comp? I have made a new song... Actually 3. They all fit into pokemon... Ish. 2 of them I can see as ad/credit music, and one a bit like battle music.
I could upload them if you are still gonna let me do sound.

kayybee · 2011-03-15 19:44:30

Pokemon... Mages?

Pokemon Scratch?

IDK...

so... are we using custom hp bars and such, or collab monster's?

No, this will look like this http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=nDGm28eLQIA&feature=related But no scrolling maps, Scratch can't do those with the tiles

Basically most of the battle code is the same but the visuals are changed.

I think scratch can... I mean Johnnydean1 has done it. With his Pokemon and mario games. Although, it was incredibly slow. neutral

Well what I mean to say is it is impossible on a large scale. Clearly you can have a large image that acts as a scrolling map. But with each map at around 50kb it only takes 200 maps to hit 10 MB which is not even including music and other sprites. Also, tile based systems have far better collision and interaction.

Your right as always. tongue For a name, how about...

Pokemon Solar and Pokemon Lunar? Two different versions with two different legendaries? Or are we doing just one game?

archmage · 2011-03-15 21:37:52

No point in 2 version since there is no way to link them.

maxdoss · 2011-03-15 21:40:15

Can I join? I've never been in a collab before, and I want to see what it's like.

sol and luna/solar and lunar are used here.
maybe just stick with pokemon magis?

archmage · 2011-03-15 21:51:08

Magnus sounds more natural I think

Doesn't really matter if other threads have the same name since its pretty clear nothing will come of them.

Magius?
That sounds pretty cool.

Well, it's based of "mage" and magic, so the storyline:

The rulers (us) and their leader (you) are searching for the Suigam Crystal that will make them invincible forever.

The player tries to stop them. Simple.

Oh, and Ragecham (an anagram of archmage) is the legendary that controls the Suigam Crystal. It looks like your avatar, sort of.

archmage · 2011-03-15 22:10:58

Magi-us
does not sound as good as Mag- nus IMO

I didn't really think that our avatars would play a role in this.

I was kind of contemplating whether to just put in gyms or put something like team rocket because putting an evil team in would complicate things.

Magnus. Definitely Magnus. I agree with Arch mostly, except there should at least be a boss battle with the 'Dark Lords' like in monsters. You could implement what you think our avatars make you think of. Like the classic Archmage sprite, or me as a Necromancer, Mkolpnji, I always imagined as some samurai like avatar with red armor. Just a though. smile

kayybee · 2011-03-15 23:22:04

Well, pronouncing it

maj-ous

it sounds pretty cool...

magnus seems we're going down the path close to magma...

team rocket is an evil team, though...

wait. necro, what is a though?

arch, i'd like to sign up for music...
