Pokemon: Grimm Eclipse

3 years ago

Hey there!

Admittedly, it's been a while, and there hasn't been much progress. Have a little revamped Blake, and more details in the article.


It turns out making a Pokemon Engine is a lot more work than expected.

I am not however abandoning the project! It's been a deeply humbling and teaching experience, so... I've put it aside for now as I figure things out.

My life has gotten a bit hectic lately, and so has my work. I keep on learning new things and as I go, I realize that what I did for this project isn't great and probably should be overhauled. It's a bit depressing because it feels like I worked for nothing, but it's the truth of the matter.

Because of that, I've decided to pause the development of Pokemon Eclipse while I hone my skills on smaller, easier projects. I have every intention of returning someday but can't promise it'll be any time soon.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been following and giving me feedback, and I hope I can bring you a great game someday

Hello everyone! I've been a bit busy lately because of a big school project (expect it to show up among my games soon!) but I've still made a bit of progress on the map system.

Here shown, with placeholders but still a hint of the visual choices I made

I drew a Dragon / Fire fakemon, inspired by the Yang! Name's Burnindwurm and Scaldamander. It still lacks the third evo, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

It took longer than I expected to finish this piece... but here it is! Blacougar, Duskitty's evolution and the Yin to Scaldamender's Yang

I drew my boy Zaap'raaz! He's been carrying most of my team through Pokemon Sword, ngl

What might that be? The Yin to Burnindwurm's Yang? Definitely!

I'm proud of how it Duskitty turned out, and even prouder of what it's evolutions looks so far - keep watching, it should show soon

A wild Burnindwurm appears!

Slowly getting back to drawing, this little guy will be Yang's signature pokemon, representing the Yang and thus, paired with the pokemon representing Yin

Been working on the Battle Engine, and I'm proud to say that we can now choose an attack and a target for every ally Pokemon on the Battlefield. Now I'm off to properly link the resolution of the turn (damages and the like)

'been working on some new Fakemons! as often, the style is very different from the official games, but I'm pretty happy with Duskitty and Blacougar

Not much, but I've reworked the logo a bit. I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks like for now, and I'm seriously considering renaming the project to Pokemon Eclipse. It feels more fitting, less "let's steal the name of the actual RWBY game"

Look who's there! The entire Yang family, from Burnindwurm to Blazemini, going through Scaldamender.

One last drawing and the Yin/Yang duo will be done!
