[Project Begun on 13.03.2012] [By SHEIMI] AIM: To create a Homestuck mod for Pokémon Black or White, depending on which seems to suit best. I will reach a decision as to which one to modify later on in the process. THEMES: The 12 trolls (as I'm excluding the new ones soon to be introduced) are going to be cast as Gym Leaders and members of the Elite Four. The playable characters will be John Egbert and ...? I intend to make this mod slightly more difficult than the original game, the reason being that I assume that most of the players who would be playing this mod will already be experienced Pokémon gamers and would enjoy a challenge. I may ask around on forums to see what people think of this idea. ________________DEVELOPMENT LOG__________________________________________________________ 14.03.2012 - Decided on the 12 trolls' places in Gyms/Elite Four and specialist types. Proposed small lists of Pokémon to be used by trolls. 16.03.2012 - Began assigning specific Pokémon to each troll, keeping the levels of Pokémon and number of Pokémon in each team the same as in the original. Gym Leader Aradia and Gym Leader Kanaya completed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTE: Decided that I should create two mods - one where each troll has an assigned type, and one where they do not have specific types but have parties that consist of Pokémon that the characters might have or ones that suit them generally. Trolls will still be placed in the same Gyms. To make up for a potentially unpredictable opponent, the Pokémon found in the wild may also vary from the first mod to give the player an opportunity to combat a variety of types. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 17.03.2012 - Gained a project member, who will be referred to as SPECK. SPECK will be working on concept art for trolls and should eventually be in charge of pixel art for the final sprites. 25.03.2012 - Gained a project member, who will be referred to as CG. CG will have input into some of the decision making and is currently working on some overworld sprites. CG designed beta overworld sprite for Karkat (front). 26.03.2012 - CG designed beta overworld sprite for Sollux (front) and Equius (front). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTE: I was doing some work on the typed Pokémon teams for the trolls and started finding it incredibly difficult to come up with teams that suited the trolls and still followed the general typeset. It would be less annoying if ALL of them were difficult, but some trolls are easier to figure out than others and it's starting to feel very inconsistent. Considering scrapping the whole idea of having typed teams, and just making the one hack without types. Also, SPECK was previously coming up with concept art for the trolls' costumes (as I was going to give them their original outfits in the non- typed hack and new costumes in the typed hack). With the idea of having set types likely to be scrapped, costumes may become unneccessary, but may still become available in an alternate patch. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
