Title: next project?
Post by: tifreak on September 28, 2005, 02:15:00 am
Well, after some thought and consideration, I have decided what my next calc project will be. I have decided to prove just how dynamic the RPG starter kit is, and make a Pokemon game out of it. This will of course come after some of my other projects. I already have some stuff wrote down on paper, so I will not for get anything, and in my opinion, I should be able to make this game pretty easily.

The only downfall is of course that everything will be in ascii...

Cool Pokemon for z80! Will there be some graphics in battles (ASCII)?

lol, yeah, something like that. :)smile.gif

And yeah, I would definitely try for a graphical battle system for it. The cool thing is, the main gaming engine is already done, I would just have to add what will stop the character, and what would cause the character to fight a wild Pokemon, but both of those are extremely easy to add.

And after I get this done, you can finally add RPG Starter kit to the archives... :)smile.gif

Also, should I make it in to two versions, red/blue, or should I just make a Diamond version, where you can catch them all?

nice, I think I will add the starter kit indeed :)smile.gif you should make it as one version because it would be cool to have all pokemons without requiring link play :)smile.gif

Well, then, now I know what I will be doing once I get caught up... And you realize that this will be an SE only adventure. That would be a lot of data to pack in basic...

Well, it might fit, but I am thinkin that won't. There is a ton of data to put on there...

I started a discussion at: http://s4.invisionfree.com/TIFreakware/index.php?showtopic=103

Any ideas, suggestions, etc can be posted there.

hehe... all of my future games (LRB and afterwards) are 83+ optimized... thus if you gave an SE you'll have speed issues... :Dbiggrin.gif

MIne will be data storage problems... the RPGSK runs almost the same speed between the 83+ and the SE...

ther eis a pokemon that has all 150 pokemons in it for the 83+ in the archives here that takes 20 KB. The only thing is that all pokemons only have one attack if I remember and there are no pokemon pic in battles, just text and lines

Well, I want each to be able to have at least 8 learnable attacks. And I will probably leave out things like leer, stringshot, etc because they really never helped me in the game...

yeah put the stuff that is meaningful and remove the useless stuff, moght help optimising for space a bit, altough I have a SE so its not a big pb for me :Dbiggrin.gif

For the moves, the most that one learns naturally in RBY is Pikachu with 11 in Yellow, I think the limit is 9 in Red and Blue. I have yet to go through GSC for the maxes, although it may never be made. I hope it will, and it is a possibility with Pok

http://s7.invisionfree.com/Omnimaga/index.php?showtopic=99  <-- I enjoyed, even though it ran quite slow

Hmm, I doubt I will have too much trouble with it running slow. You saw how fast the RPGSK was, didn't you? :)smile.gif

And I am playing with the idea of using codex to give it 'scrolling' on the graphscreen... Once I actually implement it, and it isn't too slow, I will post it up here for you to check out. :)smile.gif

hmm dont use Asm( command into a loop it will come out very slow when ram is low, you'll see :(sad.gif but your RPG SK was uber fast indeed, the readon why Adventure was slow is because it wasnt fully optimised and it had 3 enemies at once moving on the screen :Pblah.gif

Post by: tifreak on September 30, 2005, 03:14:00 am
Umm, the only time the asm command would be in effect is if you made it to the edge of a screen... :)smile.gif

Trust me, when I get that demo out, you will understand a bit better.
