C4N

Sorry for lack of posts, but I've restarted the project using SDL.NET which is an OpenGL wrapper for .NET. It will allow the engine to run a little smoother on all computers as opposed to GDI+ which wouldn't have been that smoothed on some older / slower computers.

Pokemon HG is a pokemon game / engine being developed in C# by a friend and myself. I personally am in charge of developing the game, whislt he does most of the designing and level planning. So far the engine has the following features: * Simple to use 3 Layer Tile System * Animated Sprites * Particle Engine for weater (Rain, snow, sandstorm + more?) * Automatic weather changes (Every 1 - 10 minutes a new weather event will occur -> (if not "Sunny Day" then weather = sunny day else weather = random weather) * Particle Engine for attacks (incomplete, currently working on this). * Day / Night detection * Event System (Events can be created and modified throughout the game based off player location and stats (will add based off result, e.g. if a battle is one) * Speech dialogs (scrolling text) * Basic Battle Engine (uses original pokemon formula for dammage) * Dynamic, easy to edit Pokemon database * Dynamic, easy to edit Pokemon attack database * Much more. The engine is currently using GDI+ and can achieve over 60FPS, but I have limited the game to 20FPS due to it's simplicity I feel it shouldn't require anything hire then that (please note that I am considering switching to SDL.NET due to the amount of people that have suggested I move away from GDI+). The purpose of this project is to create a Pokemon Game of my own as well as supply people with a decent engine in which they can create their own fan based games as well. Somethings to do on my list are: * NPC's * Rooms (Right now there is only one big map * Pokemon level system (right now pokemon are all set to their appropriate level, however their is a already variables setup within the pokemon to allow leveling (XP and Level). * Pokemon Attack Animation (Right now im working on one type of animation per attack type (e.g. normal, fire, water, leaf, etc). * Item system (potions, revieves, etc) * much more Also I'll be posting some game play videos soon, I started this project last week and plan to have it done before the summer so I can start my next project.
