Okay so people seem to think I was being sarcastic with my last post, I'm not!
A lot of my friends think branching off from Pokemon is a good idea and I do as well. I was afraid I wouldn't get a lot of recognition or have places to post my work but I figure I have here, PJ, Pixelation, game dev communities and such, so there's really no shortage of places to post.
I'm creating my own idea for a game called Hieros Gamos that's heavily based off of the old Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 and steeped in alchemy lore. Regardless of whether the "game" gets made of not, hey, I'm free from the constrains of Pokemon design.
Tachikoma, what you said is really interesting - so I should silhouette my monsters and try to make them appealing/recognizable?
Chris2Balls, do I know you? I'm fine with people calling me by my name but I don't get people who I've apparently just met doing so usually!
As a note to everyone here: I get frustrated a lot with critique and sometimes it's hard for me to take it. But I appreciate the time and effort you're putting into helping me get better. Really I do! It was your inspiration that got me to drop the fakemon label and for that I'm grateful.
