I have finished one more map, I haven’t been mapping that much today.  I have finished “Town Two”.  which will be located at the end of Route x04.  This map isn’t planned to be in the demo version one.  However I may extend it, lets just see what I feel like.  Anyways its a small town.

It also contains the “Team Inferno’s Hideout”, where you first battle Team Inferno.  However that’s about all it as, there is no gym or anything like that.   Actually unlike most other towns it contains wild Pokemon.  I though something a little bit different is always good.

I have been planning the demo, I have started to create the wild Pokemon, Items, Storyline, and a lot of other features.  They will be planned, then obviously will be coded into the games starter kits data files.  Hopefully, as things are going so far.  The demo is still on time and will be launched by March 14th 2008.

Finally I was able to transfer all the old maps over to my new computer. I have been editing them slightly and I finished of the forest. I have also made the first city map. So that now means we have all maps for the demo version one.

In demo one you will be able to explore; Town One (Brutroot Town) Route x01, Route x29 (righ side from Route x01) , Route Two (Including a Forest) , City One (Pinanna City), Route x03, and Route x04. There is also a small cave in Route x01, but its not very big. I have started to create the information and plans for the demo.

I have also made an old Pokemon list, which will fit in with the new 136 Eura Pokemon to make the Eura Dex. Each area, and everything will be planned. I want the demo to be a close to the final version as possible. The planning will take a couple of days, but once I have done all of this I will start putting it together.

Hopfully I will be able to get the demo done by March 14th, that’s the target date. I am also aranging a new Pokemon into the game. It will be like missingno, a filler Pokemon lets say. Basically I will program all Pokemon into the game, however until there sprites are ready this missingno like sprite will be used.

So you might bump into this Pokemon but for example its meant to be a legendary Pokemon, it will have the stats, move-sets etc of that legendary Pokemon. It will just have this sprite. This is a clever way which will allow us to keep developing the game, even though all the sprites are not ready.

So from now on I will be mainly focusing on making the plans for the game, however I am going to try and keep mapping more and more maps. Any spare time will be used. Also as well as these, I am going to try and sort some Pokemon out for advertising and showcasing purposes. This will include a main sprite, and sugimori style drawing, and a pencil sketch of the Pokemon.

Okay, so since yesterday I have created even more maps for Pokemon Inferno and Pokemon Hydro.  I have added the following to our collection “Route Nine, Route Thirteen, Route Fourteen,  Route Fifteen, and Route Twenty”.  Most of the grass land routes have been completed now.  Just a couple more maps.

I have actually sorted the first twenty nine routes out, and created brief descriptions.  This will make it easier for me, and anyone else who may help do the mapping.  However the way I am moving recently I think I will be able to map all route maps by myself.  I will probably not do all towns and cities myself though, we will have to see.

Also about the maps that are on my laptop, they are being transferred as we speak.  I have asked for advice on transferring maps.  The easiest way is to upload the whole starter kit from my old laptop onto my new PC.  Then I can simply copy and paste all of the maps over like that.  Easy, and after I can delete the other starter kit.  I will let you guys and gals know if I succeed in this.

Also I am going to start mapping even more, I am also going to maybe attempt some cities and towns.  If I get city one done, that would mean all maps for the demo version one would be completed.  Also if the right amount of maps are done, I would probably be able to extend demo one and make it larger.  Lets see what happens.

So I have been playing around with the administrator panel on phpBB 3, it is a lot differnt to phpBB 2. Anyways I think I know how to do everything, and I also know how to add styles etc. So all I need to learn how to do is backup, and restore. As I would like to transfer everything over from the first original forum. I do need to learn how to do this.

As the forums are currently on a free forum providing server, I would have to pay for a backup and then restore it myself. As the forums backup system is in development stages and is yet not completed, there are certain problems. So I need to find out how, and if it would work properly.

I don’t want to mess up and lose everything, and I don’t want to have to keep paying for backup after backup. If worst comes to worst, I will just pay someone to do it. I would really like to do it myself however. I have done the blog, and forum installations myself. If I completely mess up, and lose everything. I am guessing we will just start over again with the forums.

However I will have all project materials safe anyways, so that’s no problem. I also need to install a automatic backup software like I have already said. I will do this before we move, so I know it works etc. Looks like so far, that we will move to phpBB 2 restore there and then upgrade to phpBB 3. Then eventually maybe to vBulletin, lets see what happens.

So today I have been mapping more areas for the Eura Region.  On my laptop there are six maps, which are (Town One, Route One, Routes Twenty Nine, Route Two Beginning, Route Two Forest, and Route Two Ending).  Yesterday amongst setting up a phpBB 3 forum, and indeed this blog I managed to create two maps.  They are (Route Three, and Route Four) I also started mapping a very large map which will be a hidden location.  However I best not say much more….

Anyways today I have mapped so far four maps, all completed.  They are as follows (Route Five, Route Seven, Route Twenty Three, and Route Twenty Four).  I am going to do more later.  I am basically covering all grass land maps, which are basically grass, and tress etc.  I need to create the (City One) map, so then all the maps for the demo are completed.  The Forest map I mentioned, needs something little adding.  However that won’t take too long.

I need to figure out how to transfer the saved maps from my laptop to my computer, I will ask around later and I will get everything onto this computer.  I want to try and complete another one, or maybe two maps.  I will just have to see what happens tonight, I will update if I do create any more maps.

So, we have been working on the Pokemon Inferno and Hydro project for a long time now. I have finally decided to pull together a demo for the game. As we are creating a twin set of games, I have decided that all demos will be of Pokemon Inferno. At the end of development we will edit the Pokemon Inferno game, to create Hydro. We will add something secret but very unique to each of the games. Which will make both games as equal to each other.

Anyways the first demo will feature probably not many new Pokemon, this is not because we don’t have enough (We actually have around half done) its that we have not started back sprites or icon sprites. However the characters like the hero (male, and female) and also the two new professor sprites will be completed. I will use older Pokemon from Nintendo to replace the new Pokemon. For version two all Pokemon in the demo areas will be our new Eura Pokemon.

I will however add the “Maggot” line of Pokemon, they will be in the forest which will be featured in the demo V1. Anyways, the demo version one will have the starting town, route one, route twenty nine, route two, and city one. This will be a total of estimated game play of one hour, and more if you wish to catch all added Pokemon. There will be one gym, and all features such as Pokedex, battle system, item system, poke-gear, etc will be in the game an working.

As I have lots to do with the project, website, forums, and the blog. I am not going to rush the process. However I would like to get the demo done between February 29th to March 14th. From here bug testing will be made, and the obviously further development. I will report when more information on the demo is planned, and will update on progress. Maps are nearly done by the way for demo V1.
