SCREEN13,14

So anyway, here's the deal. The first fully playable release is approximately 14% complete.

I considered dropping the GSC tileset for a more modern one, but then I had a change of heart. I decided that I was going to do something that earlier I decided against: I'm going to make this a DS-style game. Thus, with lower screen real estate for the overworld, I decided to resize the tilesets back down to their original size. So I think that'll keep the tileset from sticking out when compared with the other graphical assets of the game.

So when can you expect the first release, and what should you expect from it?

Well… whenever it is released, it will contain:

Base, Jungle and Fossil card sets

Pallet Town and Viridian City to explore

Fully functional battle engine

Fully functional PokeGear with the following apps: Weather Forecast, Pedometer, Card Manager, Card Store, User Profile, Save Game, Messages, and Achievements.

The first release will have all that, no matter what. So now… when should you expect it? My target release date of May 30 is shockingly soon, I can hardly believe it myself. This weekend I plan on finally buckling down and putting some serious effort into it. The plan is to have the game 70% complete by Monday.

But… we'll see. I might be biting off more than I can chew.

I guess what we are looking for is how will this be better than other things that have been made like it.

Ahem… wat? As far as I'm aware, this is the only Pokemon TCG fangame in development. There was one other in development a year or two ago, but it has long since been abandoned.

Holy fuck I do too. I had this manual with their values and everything, which told me all about how it was worth 120 dollars or something and therefore I was the richest kid on the planet.

Okay that's a much better screenshot no.

Oh and I suppose meow44 was complaining about the yellow jaggies on the Pokemon logo… that'll be fixed before release, but right now i've got more important things to work on.

Oh, and the sky reflection shouldn't be so smooth if you want to keep the look consistent.
