Description
I've been putting off saying and admitting this, but I need to admit it in order for me to finally finish this project.I no longer have all the time in the world to work on Cursed Black.
I used to, at first. I began working on it on November 2010, and a year later, still don't have enough progress to a playable demo. What my goal was, to completely recreate Pokemon Red/Blue on Game Maker, and from there simply add "Ghost" to the equation. If you've been following my progress, you already know that every single aspect of the creepypasta has been made (hell, even the final battle, that was one of the first things I did). What's really stopping me from releasing any kind of game is the fact that I'm trying to recreate everything else in a Pokemon game. I'm not a capable programmer because there are still several things I can't do, like the Pokemon Storage system. I can make a party system but making a computer in-game in order to store more is a bitch. Same thing with the inventory (Pack). I could somewhat get started on programming those things, but they take more time than they would if I were more experienced making RPG's.
The project will not be cancelled. It will only be changed in order for me to release a fully playable game. This change will suck the fun out of it though.
Ghost will be the only useable Pokemon throughout the entire game, and no ghost type Pokemon will ever be encountered. Trainers in the Lavander Tower will have their pokemon changed to non-ghost type. The Pokedex will not exist. Items will not exist. The PC storage system will not exist.
The rest of the game will be playable. Everything else will be normal.
But it's sure as hell gonna be boring.
Sorry guys, I don't have the time anymore to finish this game. Or at least, I mostly don't want to keep you guys waiting for something that could take years to finish (and it probably will). I'll most likely keep working on the game "once it's done," I have more plans for this game engine if I ever do finish coding it. Right now, I'm off school, but personal life and work/gym are still keeping me from having endless days to program. I can't sit down and work on this for hours like I used to.
Do not worry though, you *will* get your game. Maybe not as fun now, but I'm sure as hell gonna finish it.
Also, thank you very much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday
thanks guys, you're awesome!

I am a really big fan especially of the first games of pokemon. I was wondering what other projects have you in mind after this. What other pokemon creepypastas are you going to create? I ended up here when I saw on youtube your re creation of cursed black, loved your work so far by the way. I suggest reading Easter Egg - Snow on Mt. Sliver. Really cool creepypasta I hope someone makes a game of it. I would like to play it and cursed black too of course. Anyways good luck I also look forward to playing this awesome game.
P.S Does anyone know if someone made a game about Easter Egg - Snow on Mt. Sliver?

We'll wait. Don't worry. Just don't change anything!

I personoly think that the change will be OK. ^_^ The whole point of the game is that you dont really "need" items or extra pokemon. The game is supposed to be really easy. It just get REALLY creapy. Plus i think the act of ghost being your only companion during the game makes it even creepier. You are amazing! KEEP IT UP!n

if you can't finish it once you stop with making it send us the link to the coding etc. so we can develop it.It will end faster like this

This game will be great! I can't wait to see this project finished!

Dude, I can help. I'm a capable programmer, like I said. I'd be honored to help in any way I can!
I think I've already showed you proof of my skills. You may not have the time, but I've got lots of time to work on it. Because my 3D engine is frustrating me, and I wanna code things, but I wanna take a break from complex C++ and it sounds good to go back to easy GML.

Do it pokรฉmon ranger style
If you have 6 pokรฉmon when you catch a pokรฉmon you need to release one (except ghost)

It's alright, take your time, and do whatever works best for you; you've done an excellent job, especially considering that you do so much on your own.

I don't really care, as long as it fits the story to a T.

Aww, that's a shame to hear D:
Maybe it would be easier to start over and hack a rom instead. You *would* have all of the tricky parts done there, and you only need to rescript things.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Oh well on those things being taken out but you've already gotten alot farther than other GROUPS that have been working on simply hacking the original rom and your making this from the ground up! Others have simply just given up and the fact you HAVEN'T is down-right awesome.
I do hope the killing people with Ghost and the final battle stay in. I know little more to nothing on coding a game (I've played with and modded some files in Doom 3) However we fans of your work (and creepypastas in general) will continue to support you as much as we possibly can.

Well.. just make sure to make a back up of what you have done and give it out to any one who wants to complete it 100%.
Because there may be people who wish to do so after you release it.

I will, I already have several people lined up that really want to help me work on this, but honestly I just can't bring myself to working with someone else in programming. I need to know everything that's going on exactly in order for me to not get lost in the massive amounts of code.
So yes, while after I release this "complete" game, I'll keep working on it on my own and I'll hand out the source to whoever wants to try to complete it, see if they can do it faster than me.

In all irony though, your "complete" version will be the most complete version ever released.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
it'll have most of the programming too, except for the few vital parts that will keep it from being a full pokemon game. so all that it'll take for someone to finish this is more knowledge than me, and there's enough of those people around, someone capable will take over.
haha, sadly, yes. sorry to say but the creepyblack team was a joke.

You've done a lot by yourself. Being able to program this much alone is very good.

Dude, if this game is really becoming such a hassle for you, perhaps you should just keep taking your time on it. I mean you're just one person. D:> So it's totally understandable that such a complicated thing like this is gonna take time...plus you're still learning as you go too, and you've got other stuff to do as well. and Good things come to those who wait, right? Perhaps it's time that we, the fans, of your work try to pull together and help you out more on your project in some way. We may not be able to do much...but we can sure as hell try, right? and I personally don't wanna see you trying to work on this without any fun on our behalf. it seems a bit unfair to you.

Shame about that :c
But I must say, the fact that you're limited to a Ghost Pokรฉmon, while no other Ghost pokรฉmon exist make the game more eerie c: Might add a bit of challenge too.
