This project was inspired by a joke LockeZ made in the forums: "Make a non-linear western rpg shooter starring a black-colored pikachu with sunglasses, a trenchcoat and twin 8mm pistols, who can target the individual body parts of enemy pokemon using Lightning Time to slow down combat and aim"
...And so, yes, this is actually happening. Except maybe the non-linear part.
Our objective is to develop a Wild West-themed Shooter ABS for RM2k3.
For now, a tech demo release is all we're aiming for. We will later decide if the project will evolve (ha!) into a complete game.
Gameplay
-Help Dark Pikachu fight off the bandits of the West: Machop, Zubat, Golbat and Meowth.
-Similar to the SNES game Wild Guns: Aim and shoot at enemies when they appear.
-Features HP and MP gauges, an auto-reloading magazine and a Kill count.
-Use the arrow keys to move the reticle around the screen and aim at enemy pokemon.
-Hold Z to shoot.
-Hold X and Left/Right to dodge to the sides.
-Hold X and Up to strike down a random enemy with Thunderbolt.
-Hold X and Down to raise a Light Screen that shields you from enemy attacks.
-Press Shift when you have at least 33 MP to activate Lightning Time to freeze enemies.
Progress
-Tech demo: Complete!
-Tech demo v1.2: Available!
