Oh hey cool, updates.
Wish I could help in the art department, but I've never been good with sprites. Don't think I'd be too much help with anything else either.
So I guess just keep up the good work.

>>14664873
gambatte!

>>14665198
Yep. We are going to be putting an update out, in some form or another, every week

>>14664873
Finished going though the playtest, as corny as it was this thing definitely has potential. And I really like the pilots-as-items concept.

Clearly, Mazinkaiser's megastone-pilot should be Kaidou and Megami, who remodel it into SKL.

Nice. Keep it up.
Playtest was pretty fun, though obviously lacking in content. Looking forward to seeing it improved.

>>14666559
Thanks for playing. The only reason the play test was silly was because it is about showing off what we can do gameplay wise and less story wise. The actual game will have more meaningful dialogue. We also don't know if we want to have too many megastone pilots but we save all recommendations so that we keep them in mind.

>>14666571
Thanks man.

The reason it lacks was because we don't have all our assets yet to make a complete demo. The play test exists to show off our ideas and what we are planning to do.

>>14666912
If Dragon Ascent/Mega Rayquaza is programmed in, you could use it to activate Trans Am on any 00 mechs you include. Have a Dragon Dance esque boosting move trigger a Mega Evo in any 00 Units, with an ability that halves their stats or something after a couple of turns to represent burnout.

An equivalent for mega evolution(or something similar) would be a cool way to access certain units, like Mazinkaiser SKL from Mazinkaiser.

Alternatively, a modified version of the stone evolution thing(If possible), a unit can evolve into another special unit only with a specific pilot and at a certain level, like the VF-25 evolving into the YF-29 at a certain level only if the player set Alto as its pilot.

>>14668146
Well shit, I forgot about those items. You're referring to Trade items, right?

The feature is already in the game, we'll be putting that in there ASAP, thanks! I'll add that as a type of suggestion.

Feel free to suggest attacks, abilities, pilots, mecha, or locations, like always.

Had a stupid idea a couple days ago, so what if Unit 01 was that chibi version from Evangelion@School until you put Shinji in as the pilot, and then it becomes the actual Unit 01 (ala Giratina changing into Origin forme when you give it the Griseous orb)?
Or do you plan on using Shinji as a mega stone like it says in the roster? What would it even turn into anyway? 3rd impact Unit 01? Would it go berserk? Maybe just a stat increase?

>>14669471
>had a stupid idea

Yep

>>14669405
I was referring to the evolution stones, stuff like the fire stone and whatnot.

Instead of using the mechanic as it is in the pokemon games, modifying it to work only when the unit reaches a certain level while having a certain pilot would work better and make a bit more sense imo.

>>14669604
That's a good idea. Maybe we can use that for specific mecha. However, I'm not sure if we can give the pilot two effects. If that's the case, it may make some of the pilots worthless after evolution. Plus if they are killed during an infantry fight or otherwise, you won't be able to evolve said mech. I think the idea is good but I also think we should have some non pilot items as evo stones

>>14669595
cold

>>14669471
Probably berserk mode, whatever we find assets for.

Even though I wrote mega, Shinji probably won't give a full 100 BST increase, that's completely nuts for something with Landorous's stats/moveset.

It might be as small as an ability change; we'll figure out the best solution during balancing.

Thanks for asking!

I just wanna restate that anyone who can offer help to us, our list of available positions is attached to the OP

>>14669641
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Evolution-inducing_held_item

Pilots with evo effects and combat effects should be fine. Evolution Stones should be upgrade parts.

Also, as a god tier pilot with a reputation for ruining the mechs he pilots, Amuro Ray should be the Life Orb. Give Nu Gundam/Hi Nu Gundam an ability that nullifies Life Orb damage like Sheer Force or Magic Guard.

>>14670846
Eva-01 should probably have two Berserk modes, like Charizard. Shinji pre-char development would give a Berserk Mode that's uncontrollable, as if it were an overleveled trade Pokemon. Shinji post-char development would give the Rebuild 2.0 Berserk Mode, which is one of the game's Super Legendaries. They'd have the same stats, but their abilities would be different.

Super Shinji would probably be postgame or very endgame.

>>14672282
Life Orb is a fun idea, especially since Amuro will likely be a late game pilot. Sheer Force or Magic Guard are great choices, we'll keep those in mind.

Great suggestions

>>14672297
Would be easy to implement, added to the list.

>>14672282
If we give Amuro an item that syncs well with the RX, we ought to give the Mazinger/Eva pilots that sync with their abilities, too.

Question, why are the three Getters different Mechamon, rather than a single Mon that changes forms like Aegislash? Like, attack moves would change it to Getter 1, priority moves would change it to Getter 2, and...I dunno, counter moves would be Getter 3.

It'd probably be hard to balance, but it'd make for a damn fun gimmick.

Rotom = Aestievalis

>>14673648
Gotcha, he's in.

>>14673618
A mon with 3 different rapidly changing types, abilities, and stats would be a mess to balance.

Having them as separate Mechamon gives the player a bit more variety; all the getter types currently have their own evo lines, stats, movesets, abilities, etc.

We could have it where any getter can change into another form outside of battle, but that might be cumbersome.

>>14673672
Actually, thinking about it, it wouldn't be that hard to balance at all. If you look at it from a purely statistical viewpoint, then think about what changing into each form would mean.

Getter 1 is the balanced, standard form, so we'll skip it. It's what you'll change into when you use most attacks.

Getter 2 requires a priority move. Changing into it leaves you vulnerable for the round since it's defences are low, but it almost guarantees that you'll go first next round since your stats change after turn order is calculated. Getter 3 is the opposite - you'll be able to take a hit, but you'll go last next turn, and it isn't abusable like Aegislash since it doesn't trigger from Protect-like moves.

I dunno, I just think it'd be a fun concept to play with.

>>14673744
Daisetzusan Oroshi = Circle throw

>>14675306
Makes sense for sure. Most combat takes place in space where throws might not make much sense but we can consider it

Some unit suggestions:
You can fill out some of the Bio slots with Brain Powerd, Zoids, and Betterman.

Fafner has quite a few units. Might be worth squeezing in to fill slots for PSI or Bio.

If you need grunts and marine units, Brain Powerd, Aquatic MS, and FMP

Also, you'd be suprised how many MSV's are just recolors. Aquatic Zaku's are literally just blue and orange recolors

Jirachi or Deoxys could be Fafner Mark Sein and Nicht.

I didn't see LODM Gaiking characters, those have sprites in DS SRW games already. All(I think) of the shows I've mentioned already have sprites in SRW, so you can just rip them.

>>14677374
Brain Powerd added, Zoids and Betterman added when/if I find assets.

Gaiking added

Giant Robo added

Arceus should be Demonsbane.

Add Escaflowne, Chamber, Crimson Hawk Moth, Weltall, Weltall-II, and Xenogears.

>>14679786
What type? I'm assuming Armored/Explosive or Armored/Artillery?

>>14672297
What about something like can only evolve if the Eva has Outrage/Thrash in its move set? Like Mamoswine with Ancient Power.

>>14664873
nigga, add AV98 Ingram

>>14664873
Why Hi-Nu Gundam is not in the list? I suggest change Re-Gz for Nu-Gundam and this evolves to Hi-Nu Gundam

>>14664873
Liger Zero need to be the eevee, panzer, hagger and schneider are the 3 first eeveelutions

what are the requirements for bio?

>>14664873
Could you add the white glint if possible?

>No Megazord, Voltron, or Gipsy Danger.

>>14680433
>"western" mecha
If for that, add Megas XLR too

>>14680416
Either that or Nine Ball, not sure what you'd do about Hustler One being an AI but you know. Could even do Eight Ball and have it evolve to Nine Ball.

>>14680459
He's in already

>>14680433
I think we had Gyp, and we have "Voltron", gotta upload the latest roster

>>14680116
Not sure yet, we go over our roster before we add types to make sure we're unbalancing type distribution

>>14680385

Bio types are anything 'living', or organic. i.e. EVAs, Brain Powerd, stuff like that.

>>14680516
I'll look for some balls, friend. There's definitely going to be a ball.

>>14680554
So will there be Alien Aliens/Independance Day Aliens/Tyranid/Zerg-looking guys under bio?

>>14680554
So, for example, Mecha King Ghidorah or Kiryu would be bio?

>>14680566
Yeah, they're under Bio and Alien, depending on their origin/how bizzarre they look. Balancing is also taken into account.

Eva and Remiel would be Bio, while the Regult and Uchuu Kaijuu are Alien

It's about as fluid as it is in Pokemon

There should be a mechagodzilla mon family.
Mechagodzilla->Mechagodzilla II->MOGUERA
Kiryu is semi-related, and Super Mechagodzilla II could be an alternate evolution. The Gallade to MOGUERA's Gardevoir.

>>14680569
Both of them would be Armor/Alien or Bio

We'll try our best to get a zilla line in, I'd really like a Kaijuu run to be possible. I added pic related as a command ship for that purpose

Escaflowne in its dragon form would probably make a really neat skarmory if it's unfilled.

Zoids?

>>14681066
We're looking into it. We need the assets

>>14681257
Guy from the /vp/ thread here. A lot of Zoids could be done by ripping their sprites from the Zoids Saga GBA games, which are already hugely pokemon-like. They're a bit bigger than regular pokemon sprites though. You'd need an artist who could edit them and make them workable in a pokemon game.

>>>/vp/28149041

>>14680818
Escaflowne should be a fossil pokemon, it makes way too much sense.

Also Vaan could be brightpowder, cause future sight and all

>>14681743
Kek, no we don't

>>14680792
How difficult would it be to make Esca a mix of Skarmory and Darmanitan? The latter mainly because of the Zen Mode thing so you could have special conditions in battle that cause it to go into Dragon form for speed/defence.

>>14681285
Additionally I think Zoids were in srw k or l.

>>14682024
It was l

>>14680584
If /m/ aliens are allowed, I have to wonder how you guys would try to implement the Vajra as units.

>Small
>Heavy
>Superheavy
>Hound

>4 ship types
>Semi-Queen
>Queen

I would implement it as 2 lines, the Vajra soldiers as one line, and the ships line which end with the Queens.

>>14682386
Though, the Queens being a separate line would work as well, give the player the Semi-Queen as a pseudo-legendary or something and have it later evolve into the Queen.

>>14664873
This has literally been my dream for the past 10 years...To get a pokemon but combined together with my favorite game series Super robot wars and other mecha games Thank you based anons..I will be following this like ...a bible nut follows the bible...nah not crazy like that but you get what I mean>>14664873

>>14682386
>>14682402

We would probably treat them in a similar way to the uchuu kaijuu from Gunbuster. We would make a three stage evolution with the third stage being a choice between two of the strongest.

As much as we would like to include all the ones you've listed, 10 mechmon of the same kind/show will be uninteresting. We will probably choose 3-4 that are the most fun or make the most sense and implement those.

We also need assets for them, as we have none

Thanks for the suggestion though, as we need more alien types

Sir Killalot is pretty hype. Do robots count as /m/ though? If they do then throw Sergeant Bash in as a suggestion.

>>14683887
>Do robots count as /m/

>>14684195
Yeah I know but they are literally robots which people with controllers operate not more autonomous mech style things.

12KB, 480x360px

>>14683887
While we aren't keeping things 100% to scale, Sir Kilalot is not taller than a person, which wont really make sense in our game.

Regarding robots that aren't "mechs" or or "mobile suit" types, if we include them, we are crossing the boundaries of our setting. While it might make sense for our futuristic setting to have robots, if we include them, what is stopping us from including any kind of robot? This opens the door to any kind of robot suggestion which becomes dangerous territory. We will stick with Haro, if anything.

I feel like this doesn't need to be said, but then again we might as well squash these suggestions before they flood the threads.

I think someone already suggested Nineball but that's probably the most iconic Armored Core mech, the only issue is it's an AI pilot.

Other that could you work one of the Assault Suits mechs in? Leynos or Valken. You might be able to rip some base sprite work for editing from the games considering their nature.

I'd offer to help but I'm not sure I could keep up with any work which might be necessary as I'm just starting a Master's course.

>>14685514
I think we have armored core but if not we can for sure include them. Also everyone gets a clean storyline slate, so if it's an AI piloted mech, there's no reason why we can't have it be piloted by a person. Also if you want to help, but feel like you don't have time, that's ok because while we wanna get it done as fast as possible, we understand that people have their own lives. Honestly, we will take any help we can get, so even if you just contribute one thing it will be a big help. What are your skills?

>>14685589
I can can attempt about anything, I've got my own small SRPG I've been working on solo so I could probably attempt some art work although most of mine are edits of existing stuff to be honest, I've also got a decent collection of resources for sounds if that could be of any use.
