    UPDATE:9/15/2009
    New thread can be found at last post.
    Game is coming along smoothly, expect many more screenshots.



    UPDATE:7/10/2009
    I am currently working on a tile set for the ground/dirt/grass/water ect.
    I will post a SS tonight maybe.



    Update:
    Name of game is close to being decided.
    iMonz - (something something)
    Everyone is under the influence that there are shadows and light monsters but that is not guaranteed.

    If you'd like, you can follow me on twitter: twitter.com/jeonghyunhan


    I'm working on a game similar to the "Pokemon Diamond/Pearl" series and was wondering if anyone was interested in this so I could make a decision if I want to continue or not.

    Some facts:
    It is NOT pokemon.
    Battles will be totally different.
    Completely new battle system that I created.

    ummmm you cannot reuse copywritten material, such as using sprites from the official pokemon games. I hope you understand that.

    Other than that. Yes! I'm sure everyone would want a pokemon game.

    I am just using the sprites for testing.
    Sorry for the misunderstanding but I just google pics/sprites for testing material.
    When I get serious about graphics, that is when I will start producing my own material.

    Some more info:
    there will be "pokemon" creatures that I made up but I have no name for them as of yet.
    Any ideas for a name for them all?

    I play Pokemon blue/red once a year and its the best :D and truly are classics, even though I'd never played the others.

    No clue about the naming but I'm pretty sure a lot of people will help you out. Hmm...

    Post up some concept art when you get the chance; it would help us come up with some names that could correlate to the overall feel you are looking for. Everyone here at TouchArcade will be glad to assist you with any concerns you may have throughout the development of this game :)

    That feels very reassuring :)
    I did think of Soul/Spirit Monsters once before but scrapped the idea.

    I will start to update you all on my progress from time to time.
    I have to overcome a few problems with my game though.
    I had to drop the framerate from 60 to 30 and maybe even down to 20.
    As long as everything is smooth sicne this game isnt really FPS demanding.

    You should be able to at least have it running near 60 FPS on the 3GS.. have you looked into that?

    i dont get how your gonna do this unless your gonna only have like 3 pokemon type monsters. if you continue this i think your gonna need a lot of people to help you out honestly. Is this a self project? or do you have other people helping you?

    I have heard that the 3GS is a major boost in performance but I don't have one so that's not possible.
    And I would like to target those without and without 3GS.

    And honestly, I don't see why this game should run over 30 FPS.
    The battle scenes will definitely be 60FPS since it will be rendered in 2D.

    This is a self project, but has been planned for a few months now with many ideas already becoming a reality.

    All I need now are:
    graphics, storyline, and a lot of testing.
