About the gameI made this fan project in 2014, in high school, entitled Zorua Saves the World!
In this game, you play as the Dark-type Pokémon Zorua, and are on a dungeon-delving quest to stop all the life on earth from being sucked away. All sprites and art in the game are created by myself, and characters belong to Nintendo. I coded this by hand in GML on Game Maker 8. What I finished is a playable test level. Download it below and try for yourself!

Programming
This game was fully coded in GML, the language native to GameMaker. This was my first foray into completely programming a game, as before I had been used to GameMaker's drag-and-drop system.
This meant programming the player controller movement functions from scratch, and ensuring the corresponding pixel sprites played for the correct directions. The most difficult task was going to a different map and ending up in the correct location depending on the entrance location. Art & Level Design
Zorua is my favorite Pokemon, and this game was mostly a tribute to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series and to top-down dungeon games in general.
All pixel art was created and animated by myself in GameMaker, focusing on simplicity. | ||||
