Pokemon Hunter: Overhauled Edition!

[halibabica]

There's an unwritten rule in game making which states that the first game a person ever makes will be crappy no matter what.  It's an unfortunate concept that's almost impossible to avoid.  My game might've been a little ahead of the curve, but it was no exception.

Well, not anymore!

New & Improved!

This is a re-release of my first game, Pokemon Hunter.  This time around, I've fixed up a few things.  Okay, I fixed up a LOT of things.

What exactly did you fix in this version?

All kinds of stuff!  This game needed an overhaul pretty badly, so I played through it and fixed everything I could think of.  To be more specific, I fixed:

 - dialogue
 - mapping
 - inconsistencies
 - bad custom graphics (sorry, still RTP)
 - cutscenes
 - repetitive/inefficient data
 - and countless other miscellaneous deficiencies

The game itself still plays like it used to, as none of the mechanical stuff has changed.  Just the general quality of everything is much higher than it used to be.  It's still the same game, but much better.

So...is there anything actually new in this version?

Yes, there is.  I added a new mode of play that becomes available when the game is completed at 100% (not nearly as difficult as it sounds).  It works a lot like New Game + in Chrono Trigger, but with a twist.  What is the twist, you ask?  Well...
You'll just have to play the game!

I've never heard of this before, what can I expect?

If you're new to the series, then there's never been a better time to check it out.  My crappy official site has a lot of helpful info about the series in general, but here's the nitty-gritty of this game in particular.

Playtime: Around 30 hours, depending on how much you rock/suck.

Engine: It's an RM2K game (NOT 2K3), and it's fully independent of RPG Maker.  You don't need any additional stuff to run it.

Category: It's a typical RPG, which is weird, because most people would expect it to be more like a Pokemon game.  The premise is that this is what Pokemon would be like if it were a normal RPG.

Description: Baise Town.  Your average, run-of-the-mill town.  It's nestled into an area with many diverse terrains.  It's near an ocean, a forest, a mountain...even some ancient ruins!  It's a little out of the way, but that's what the folks there like about it. Above all other things, the area surrounding the town is peaceful as can be.  Life is easy and carefree.  Until one day...

All at once, without warning or explanation, the local fauna began to attack villagers.  Their numbers were so great that many fled the town while most holed up in their houses.  The town fell under siege, and the Mayor sent for help.  The answer came in the form of a capable hunter, named Eli...

Features: The game doesn't have anything fancier than its modded DBS.  That means nothing's too complicated.

Even if you've played this game before, the new version's worth a download.  There's more content at the end for those who found all the secrets, and the old save files from past versions will still work in this one (or, at least, they should).

Have some screenshots!  Some haven't changed, but others have improved.


#1 - Title Screen

And, finally, the new & improved download link.  It's not a direct link, but rather takes you to my games page where you can find all the other installments of the series as well.

Also, if anyone's interested in giving this game a review, I would greatly appreciate it.  No one's ever bothered to before...

I hope you enjoy the improvements I've made to this game!
