Finally!

I apologize for the extremely long hiatus. As you all know (hopefully), I lost my internet, followed by my old tablet giving up on me, so I wasn’t able to work on the game as much as I would like to.

But things have been looking up! I bought a new tablet and we got our internet back. I even managed to draw something new for the game too!

Meet RAYN!

Some of you are most likely aware who this guy is, and yes, he’s making an appearance in this game too! Just please don’t ask us how he manage to get his vest on.

Anyway, please look forward for more content here! I’m glad to be able to draw again and hopefully, we can make this game a reality in the near future!

Why So Quiet?

If you’re wondering where we’ve been and why nothing has been posted, that’s because we’ve made no progress. We’ve been delayed since I've lost contact with Louis, our artist. His internet has been out, and hopefully will come back soon, but that is why things have been so slow.

Our Next Step

We’re working on getting the beta going. We are still a ways away, but it’s mostly because there’s a lot of art that needs to be done, and that can take a while. Coding and writing wise, it’s mostly there already.

What we plan to have in the demo is the town mostly explorable, as well as have a few companions and NPCs around for you to meet. The actual content will be fairly limited though. There will only be one quest in Foogi’s quest line available. Obviously we plan to add a LOT more for release, but we mostly want to give you guys a chance to see what we intend the game to be.

This is Aisling. She’s currently just a concept that’s been in my head that I asked Louis to draw up. She’s a young, mute Zoroark who spent her whole life alone in the forest. Because of this, the outside world is alien to her. She communicates though body language, illusions, and her ocarina.

I’ve considered using her as a companion, or just an NPC. I wanted to know what you guys thought about her though.

Again, i’ll repeat, She is not in the game yet. She is only a concept that we are considering adding, and is in no way confirmed.

Miss me?

Some of you may have noticed how Louis has been posting a lot in my stead. I started school up again, so I don’t have as much time. I’m still working hard on the game though, and brought in and am training a new team member.

Arlyn from askseaspirit is actually the one who helped me come up with the concept for Stonefoot Stories. With him on board, hopefully things will run even smoother.

PS, take a look at his blog sometime. He has some nice things there.

Louis’ Guild from the front. Despite the size of the building, it was suppose to give off a very welcoming aura for its visitors.

I was thinking about drawing different angle of the guild too, because it is quite a large building and a prominent area in the game.

I’m pretty sure some people knew who this guy is already, but yes, this is Rosengard, he’ll be appearing as an NPC in the game, one of his first scene is introducing our Gabite character to the player. He’ll most likely join in some of the missions as well.

Spent hours working on the Friends tab of the menu today. It’s finally up and working, but missing art. The next stage is setting up the quest log system.

If you’re wondering about the badge, Instead of a boring bar to show your relationship status, your progress will be measured using trinkets badges or other things you find during your adventure. In Foogi’s case, the level of Guild Badge shows how close you are to him. Star probably would end up giving you ribbons or other fashion related items, and so on.

Since you guys have seen the Totodile menu, I thought you would like to see the other “selfies” for the other specie’s menu. (Sorry about the mouse in the screenshots)

Equanimity - by Talon - 2015

The tea shop down the road opens at midnight. Wanna go? A theme for Pokémon fan project, Stonefoot Stories (stonefoot-stories).

I don’t think I’ve showed you guys this yet, but this is Kepler. He’s one of my personal characters and my favorite. In Stonefoot, he runs the Inn and will give advice if you ask for it.

If you want to see more characters, check out the character section. I also added a screenshot section. There isn’t much there yet, but I added a few highlights.

-Taelyn

(PS: noticed some typos in the game while posting this. Fixing them now.)

#Abra #Screenshot #Kepler

Another thing I just thought of, and that is: Will the types of your character make an impact on what goes on in the story, be it minor or majorly? And how many types do you think will be playable?

What species and gender you are will influence the game. Nothing huge, but there will be unique interactions based on your species. Like if you are a Chespin and you talk to Rosenguard, a Chesnaught NPC in the game, he’ll have some extra things he’ll say to you.

As for how many? Ultimately we aren’t sure. On release, there will be 5 playable races; each one being able to evolve, so that’s 13 potential Pokemon you can be. As for the 5, we’ve shown them in an earlier post, but here you go anyways!

There will probably be more options in the future, but we are at least starting with these five due to a combination of variety and popularity. There are a few we might look at in the future though, like Treecko, Pikachu, or Cynidaquill, but would be a ways off since we still have a lot of work to do first. It also depends on how popular the game is. (Demand is a good motivator)

This is the current iteration of the menu (Male Totodile Version). This isn’t set in stone yet, but this is the direction we are heading right now. I’d really like to see you guy’s thoughts on this. The more feedback the better! -Taelyn

As for any questions I may have, I can only think of one. Is the height predetermined by species? I would imagine so if only to avoid some odd cases like 7-8 ft tall Totodile although it would be humorous to imagine.

stonefoot-stories

The height is predetermined, yes. The main reason it’s there is because it’s not always easy to see the scale in the game so it’s just sort of a reminder.

In addition, the menu is a journal given to you at the beginning of the game. You had lost your memory, so it was given to you so you can record your new friends and memories, so that if you somehow lost them again, you wouldn’t lose everything.

Finally, the note under gender is a little joke about when you are making your character. You’ll see a lot of these little notes in the menu as you progress. here’s a screenshot of the part it’s referring to, right after it asks your gender and you choose.

#Menu #Totodile #Journal

Another thing I did was work on the menu. This is something I think will be really cool. The Menu is a journal/scrapbook your character starts to record their memories. It will have information on you, your relationships, and missions. Here I was testing the animation for pulling up the menu. Again, the hand and other stuff will change based on your species.

Worked on the first mission for Foogi, now that Louis finished the art for Bartelby. He looks cute!
