Fuckboi will not make any money. It's a fan game. Just looking to see if anyone on /v/ had any ideas because designing it is difficult

>ALSO ideas of how you would use Minecraft style building in a Poke'mon game..

>please give me ideas for the game's most fundamental aspect
are you fucking stupid?

Make it cute. Make it fun. Fill it with content.

That's all you need
Gameplay can be improved later, just focus on making a full game that can gain traction.

>>385041760
Just install the massive pokemon mod for Minecraft. You'll probably get C&D'd anyway so why bother?

Cute + Fun is exactly what i'm going for. Content is the hard part. This is my first real game so I want to make it a bunch of different games that were successful

>>385045323
>>385041760
You just can't make a pokemon +minecraft anything, period
They can sue you just because of a look-alike

>>385045323
Yep. That's why I'm going to create new monsters and IP, etc. But it's basically going to be the same games combined.

The hard part is figuring out how to put a block kind of building in a Poke'mon game

>>385041760
Now he’s gonna kick my butt!!!!!!!

>>385045497
A derivative work wouldn't get a lawsuit. Only if you used the same names or IP

>>385045603
Then just don't.

Just use the voxels for easy world gen and maybe some digging.

you've missed the ship buddy. There's a ton of minecraft clones already out there, and anyone interested in a minecraft/pokemon hybrid would just play pixelmon. If you need opinions on how to draw the monsters, then you're not taking your game's monster design seriously enough- I know that it's impossible to compete with pokemon monster designs but monster designs are super important for your type of game and if you have such little faith on what style to choose you should maybe choose something less ambitious.
maybe use colours that aren't so similar to minecraft as well. good luck though, wish I had the effort and ambition to make something like that!

>>385045890
Yeah, but the idea is to have Minecraft where you actually build things with a purpose instead of just building random things.

>>385041760
>Pokemon mods for minecraft was closed and canceled cause the poke industries were about to sue

Be careful now anon, you might get your shit taken.

>>385046171
Thanks man. It will be different enough to not look like minecraft, but it will be like Poke'mon. Like being there are no shovels or pick axes. I have most of it done already, but the final "game" part needs to be designed

>>385041760
These two things don't go together, and here's why:

Minecraft is about building and crafting, with a small secondary focus on exploring to find resources.
Pokemon is about exploring large areas to find different pocketmonsters with a slight "crafting" (I'm lumping consumables management, evolution, etc together) element

So if the player can craft and build a home, they end up leaving it behind to go explore for Pocketmons. You'd have to do something totally outside of the Minecraft model and more like a City Manager or other game where you have a Base you can return to at any time (like Fallout 4, or Shining Force, or lots of other games) and upgrade, or a Town you can return to at any time and upgrade.

But that's not perfect because your Base doesn't really matter except to facilitate your adventures; there's minimal reward to autistically building it out or developing it. A completionist might do that in FO4 but that's because there's a huge world that's drawn them in and they don't really want to stop playing even though they've already won.

Maybe you could do a Starbound type thing where you have a space ship (or Airship) that you can travel on and upgrade, but I mean in order to reach Minecraft tier building you'd have to be building Colombia (from Bioshock Infinite), and then having that travel around or traveling on it would be a bit absurd.

>>385046190
That's not going to happen. Different IP.

>>385045603
Oh so you ARE fucking stupid

>>385046845
Totally agree. Building doesn't need to be in the game's world though. Also there are a lot of options like travelling to build cities, or capturing buildings, or building to specs or designs. In my game monsters absorb energy from the environment, and the buildings contribute to that part of the game.

OP here.
Thanks for the constructive replies guys. It helps. I might just cut out the Poke'mon bit. This game will take a while I will post on /v/ again when it's more complete

OP out

Hot pocket first.
