I keep forgetting to show up here, but I recall that you folks wanted some music composed. What kind? (Gym battle, bike route, menu screen, etc.) Any preferred instruments?

[Reudh]

Aye, until we have a base to work off, there's not much we can do. So let's work on the base.

Barbarossa, ExKirby's done a cave theme (remix/master of DF theme), an elite four theme, and another one which I forgot.

Perhaps a trainer/gym/whatever battle.

[Darvi]

A town/route theme perhaps.

Y'know. Overworld stuff.

[Reudh]

It's up to you, really. Besides one of the cave themes, and the Dorfy Four theme, they're all open.
That means:


Intro (Oak/Tarn explaining stuff, naming time)
starter village theme
ExKirby's cave theme will do for route one... the DF remix.
Wild Bayomon Battle (I guess we could make it sound like a pokemon battle, but more DORFY with more guitar and synth).

If anyone can get me the required OCX file, or they have Windows XP, we can start inserting music.

I was wondering, if there is room, if I could submit a pokemon. Though it isn't necessarily a dwarf fortress reference, it relies heavily on rule of cool.

Goleum

The Constructed Pokemon
Steel/Ghost

The design is based off of a luchador, flesh golem, pop culture's image of Frankenstein's monster, and a zombie.

If he's allowed in, I'll make the rest of the resources such as back and shiny sprites as well a all the information for it.

If not, well thanks for your time.

[GlyphGryph]

Where does the ghost bit come in?

Cool sprite though. I'd be okay with it.

[Bluerobin]

I do like the design and the sprite (which is the hard part, in my opinion), but yeah maybe a bit more explanation of the name/concept so we know where you're coming from? I'm guessing it's reanimated golem + metal "ium" suffix for the name, was that the idea?

[Prometheusmfd]

The Ghost because it's (Sort of) undead, or made of undead like Frankenstein.
Steel because it's an artificial being and I wanted the Frankenstein reference with it not liking fire

The name was a combination of Golem and Colosseum/Mausoleum

[Bluerobin]

Ah, cool. So if it ends up getting an evolution (or even in the description for this one), some sort of gladiator thing might fit.

Also, congratulations on that post taking you from a lunatic to a bay watcher!

[Prometheusmfd]

Thanks, lol.
And I really don't see an evo for it, but I'm not completely shutting down the idea.

I think we might actually consider making him Steel/Electric. Frankenstein's monster was powered by lightning after all. Fighting would work too, with that outfit.

And Undead are Dark Type in this, and we've already got too many.

[Bluerobin]

It's so... complete. Even if others have problems with it I'm tempted to say it goes in just because the only thing that's missing as far as I can tell is the pokedex description.

[GlyphGryph]

Wow, it IS complete. o_o

How much do you thinking changing it from ghost to fighting would unbalance it?

Regardless, its a wonderful thing.

[Prometheusmfd]

The thing I'm seeing with this is, with all the Dark types you have in here, making it fighting type would unbalance it way too far. This would give it a chance to be taken down.

And a flesh golem isn't TECHNICALLY undead

And the Lightningrod ability is what I had to make the "Powered by lightning" reference. Motor Drive would work better, but that is a Gen IV ability.

Edit: I also have designs to replace one set of the starters (most likely the Gen II starters), and need a reason to sprite them.
They're based off of Stephen King stories, so it would fit the mood and idea of the hack.

Edit 2: I think I'll set up egg moves once we have more pokemon assigned to egg groups

[Furtuka]

What do you mean by one set of the starters?
