Cursed Black Demo 2: Preview 1

[vukeidge]

was this written from scratch, or is it a mod of a Pokémon red rom?

[Mugsi]

Can't you just use most of the code from the original games for the sounds and effects?

[a0001521]

this makes me want to learn game developing.

[RuneBeast324]

Everything's great man, it fits the story well, but one thing. Shouldn't it say "Enemy X is gone..." when you defeat a pokemon?

[TheOnlyMegafringe]

ahhhhhh yeah!! Gary is gonna get it now

[DoMiNeLa10]

Ok, trainer's gone, but where is tombstone like said in creepypasta?

[than403]

@DoMiNeLa10 watch all the video before posting,man

[than403]

so,what are you planning to do with the battles versus your rival?killing him and then fighting him again would be weird.

[zeldamoonstar]

none can defeat ghost?..but why ? All hope is lost...

[TheHarryronhermione]

You ran away from PIKACHU?!?!?!?!?! What's wrong with you?

[thejanitorlol]

can u play this on psp

[RobloxOfKirby]

YOU KILLED THE TRAINER

[macras1995]

You give me the link even

privately you agradeseria

[Bloodlyshiva]

There's an issue. The story had Ghost level up. Yet here, because it's auto-ending the battle, it seems to not get EXP. Worth remembering.

Still(Thinking far ahead here), given how Ghost works, it'd be ideal for blocking whilst items are used. That's a thought, can AI Trainers use items hough their Poke is paralysed? Can Ghost learn any moves? It'd be the perfect creature to cause afflictions. There's a lot of things to consider as this continues.

[dabr1dg3]

@Bloodlyshiva Ghost never leveled up, not sure which story you're reading pal.

[666penguin1]

@dabr1dg3 just an advice: u could add some POKEGODS to it

[MarioJunkee30112]

Woah you did a good job so far, I already have goosebumps

[freehackedpokemon]

where can I buy/download this game?

[UsonoHoushi]

um... if I remember correctly the trainer is usually replaced with a tombstone once you leave the battle screen.

[dabr1dg3]

@UsonoHoushi you remember incorrectly.

[UsonoHoushi]

@dabr1dg3 yeah. I just read the story a while ago... my bad. :P

[TheElCobarde]

What’s even stranger is that after defeating a trainer and seeing “Red received $200 for winning!”, the battle commands would appear again. If you selected “Run”, the battle would end as it normally does. You could also select Curse. If you did, upon returning to the overworld, the trainer’s sprite would be gone. After leaving and reentering the area, the spot [where] the trainer had been would be replaced with a tombstone like the ones at Lavender Tower.

[waterninten]

The word for 100xinfinityxAwesome?

Yeah. It's you, good buddy.

[Ashleyloveslink]

DUDE I LITERALLY ALMOST CRPPED MY PANTS WHEN I HEARD ITS CRY o_O

[QVear]

In the story trainers aren't gone, they change into tombstones from Pokemon Tower of Lavender Town.

[leafbarrett]

I see you still haven't changed Ghost's level to 1 yet :o

So, are you using the real gen 1 battle calculations? Like, is crit rate based on speed, and that nonsense?

[leafbarrett]

@themaskisthebest Well, he's got the game laid out for him, mostly. He's just got to figure out how to make the game again. They had to make it from scratch, with no idea of what to make. Plus Game Maker has built in commands.

[shadowdeth2994]

Ok I know that there was never a cartridge of this game and that this is was made by you completely by scratch with inspiration from the story, but my question is would it be absolutely impossible to put it on a game boy cartridge? (when it is finished)

[MaskedGuardian0]

Wow, awesome! Can't wait to see the completed version!

[gotylar]

Nice work on the pokemon noises on death but I think the story says that the pitch is low and depressing.

[TheHongoBros]

@themaskisthebest well actually a pokemon ds game took 2 years xD

[MegaDjmatt]

When will this game be available? i would really like to play it

[ArcticARMs]

@NarutoMundialHD Whats Lost Black?

[KingOfKatamari]

You are amazing for making this.

[CerratedFusion]

We can't wait to work with you -filmflux :D

[Ortriaphin]

Actually the story said that the grave stones appear after you revisit the area, not immediately after you beat the trainer. What you have now is even closer to creepy pasta.

[DucksInMayonnaise]

@Ortriaphin Actually the tombstone appeared after winning a random encounter prior to cursing the trainer, and did not appear immediately after beating the trainer as you stated. So the author counts a battle sequence as exiting the area which could have been quite possible in the game's programming. But I do agree it would be nice if tombstones appeared after actually exiting the area.

[psychoTR2]

Again, completely awesome!

[Mickothebest]

>can play the game normally

Uh. To an extent, HAVE to. From what you previously said about the secondary rival, anyway.

[TerraAngelkun]

@Mickothebest In lavender Tower there are ghosts type only trainers too. Ghost solo impossible in the normal one too.

[Mickothebest]

@TerraAngelkun That's true, but that kind of still means that it's not optional. I'm not hating on it, but just sayin'.

[ItachiUchiha97M]

how many times you work on this project?

[Mecer]

This is absolutely amazing. I'm a programmer myself, doing this alone is no easy task, and you're doing a fucking great job!

Much better than simply stapling an .ips to a ROM, like those other kids playing with FireRed and a GHOST with WonderGuard lol.

[Saargston]

I don't know if it would be feasible and it wouldn't be sticking with the creepypasta, but I think it would be cooler if the gravestones only appear after the elite four, when you're walking back to pallet town.

[EtemTatar]

Are you going to put the original V1.0 Lavender Town music in there instead of the Red and Blue one? By the way, love how much progress you are making!

[C0L050]

I have all attacks sounds of the pokemons RBY. Send me a private message. I have this sounds because Im making a game of pokemon B too :)

[SnowMozart]

-gasps- you got it to work! the tombstone thing! :D

[ZhoomCAR]

I like how circumstances beyond your control have forced you so follow the story.

[Darkwing2654]

wait, your making your own game? wow. that's awesome. =)

[Megaflamehedge]

watch?v=HujaitYzvrI <- Might have some sound effects you can use if you rip the audio. It has attack SFX in it.

[Skyline770]

Very good work so far, as a fellow programmer I'm impressed. Game Maker provides an excellent method of making games, and this is definitely one I'm looking forward to. Just curious, what version of Game Maker are you using?

[isaiah658]

666 views....fitting for this video

[TheHoffmania]

@themaskisthebest Dude, he still needs to code all the game events and not to mention every single Pokemon attack as well. The basic legwork is done, but there's a lot more left.

[Mhiranda]

You've actually made a LOT of progress, it looks like. Can't wait for another Demo

[xXDP5150Xx]

So, when will you come back to /vp/ and get our view on this?

It would be nice to have a DECENT thread.

[POKEMONMASTER260]

@themaskisthebest As far as I know, it took 6 years, & dabr1dg3 is doing probably the most advanced uses of Game Maker possible... Of course, nowadays I'd imagine programming something like RBY is easier than it was in 1990-1996, especially with Game Maker...

[silentkilerX]

It's looking good. Can't wait to play it.

[Keiitaro03]

very good but the "original game" was with the lavander town music in the most part of the game, that's a very important thing ;)

Keep with the good work

[SaitoKojima]

@Keiitaro03

No, the story said that it was like a regular game of Red, but you had GHOST available.

The Lavender Town sequence only occurred after Elite Four.

[dabr1dg3]

@themaskisthebest

>simple

>over 10000 lines of code so far

>game not even close to done

wait what

[GrueRaaaaar]

@dabr1dg3 You've got most of the coding done, whatever coding you haven't done is mostly mapping, trainers, stuff that recycles code.

[theif519]

@dabr1dg3 What did you program it in? Also, why not open source it? It'll help immensely and it may help add good ideas to the project. Also, how many people are working on this project?

[TriAnna42]

Keep on going, dude. Please. Awesome job.

[ThatKoolKidOverThere]

o3o

How the hell did I miss this in my sub box? I love it <3

[Cookieofdoom]

Hmm... Theres not an emulator for GB games that got a sound record thing?... Could be a huge help..

[TomKTW]

I've been trying to find some kind of cheat code for disabling music in GB ROM, but none available... Now I understand why you didn't managed to get menu SFX.

[NekitoTwilight]

@supermegafrancy96

not yet, read the description

[grimfang999]

Alot have progress since the last ideo.

Just a quick request, Because really the viridian forest theme is quite scary in a psychotic sounding way reather than lavendaer towns creepyness, maybe there could be an easteregg area in there which is sort of a ghostly version of the forest, which has the ghosts of the people or pokemon you kill in the forest which are seriously high leveled versions of their originals and cannot be killed by ghost? That might be an interesting feature if can be done.

[itsnotjustme]

@grimfang999 It would be interesting. However, since he is following the creepypasta, I doubt he'll acctually implement it anytime soon. Maybe think of it as a post-release project.

[JacobIsBritish]

Maybe when you kill the trainers, you should add a sort of pixelated distorted scream? Unless that wasn't mentioned in the story, then never mind.

[adaam97]

you're a genius :D i wish you relase the beta ^^

[toraiga]

I love that you now make the distorted cry play after a little delay after curse its used, so now it plays while the screen is completely dark.

A very simple change that in my opinion makes the effect of curse much better! :)

[CodyRockLee13]

Dude, you got the distorted pokemon cries! :D YAY! It's looking so good, man. Keep it up, man.

[teamkiller99]

Awesome job man!!! can't wait til it's done :)

[voicerader4]

...I still can't wait. More excited for this than I was for pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

[blackman2462]

awsome job dude, but you think you could change the music a bit before you "curse" the trainer. maybe you could slow it down a bit so it feels slightly creepy, after all you are murdering trainers lol

[Darkdomon666]

@blackman2462 or maybe just silence the music.

[blackman2462]

@Darkdomon666

yeah that could work, and you only hear the "click" sound when you chose an option

[elrolinga77]

it looks like a real Pokémon game more and more with the progress. super special awesome work!!!

[manomow]

@spiderju311 Its not a hack. Its an entire new game coded from scratch.

[Ditherliss]

Ugh, I know how you feel, not being able to find simple sound effects. But you're doing an awesome job! Looks exactly like Pokemon!

[MizuTakishima3]

This is simply marvelous so far! :D I honestly think you're progressing quite quickly, so I really don't mind the wait!

Keep up the great work! <3

[platinumhand31]

0_0... proceed.

inb4 someone calls it a hack. *looks down* Too late..

[gamenerd4444]

I cant wait to play this. You keep up the good work. ;D
