PROJECT ON HIATUS INDEFINITELY AS OF 6-11-2016

STORY

Ever wondered what it would have been like to push the limits of science and ethics, all in the name of the harrowing scientific enterprise that was the creation of Mewtwo? Ever wish you could have been the one to have first sighted Mew on that fateful expedition? Ever wanted to try a completely different kind of Pokemon story?



Pokemon Genetic Version is a game centring around Mewtwo's creation, and subsequent events leading up to Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow. You play as a scientist on Dr. Fuji's elite team, a young but well-respected Pokemon researcher. Your task is simple: negotiate with the local people (and Pokemon) of the jungle, capture Mew, and participate in the cloning of Mew to produce Mewtwo.



Fuji's client has other ideas, and your team is pushed to make more and more extreme modifications to Mewtwo. Everything goes horribly wrong, and Mewtwo's vicious nature forms the catalyst for disaster after disaster.



This game is being created using RPG Maker XP, and the Pokemon Essentials kit v16.2

Custom graphics

Custom music (I am a composer/musician by trade)

CURRENT PROGRESS

Spoiler: Looking for team members! Progress is coming along nicely, however I am currently a one-man-band.

At present, the game exists in the form of some RMXP maps, some custom sprites and tiles, some custom music, and a very big Word document detailing the entire story and events.

WANT TO HELP?

Your help would be so welcome on this project. I'd be grateful for the assistance of anyone with literally anything to contribute. While I'm quite artistically inclined, sprite/tile-making is quite new to me, and I would love some contribution to the graphics, to make this game as aesthetically memorable as possible. Drop me a PM and include a link to your previous work!

Unfortunately, due to being super busy with other commitments, I'm putting this project on hiatus. I will definitely recommence it as soon as I have some time off.
