Everyone who has dreamed about make a pokemon game, dont let this channel die ever. Thundaga was the for one of my best friends and I, we wanted to make a game for a group of friends, without Thundaga we never been able to complete de game or something. Much love for Thundaga, keep making this kind of videos, u help a lot
I remember trying to follow the old tutorial back in lockdown. Didn't know what the hell I was doing and my laptop actually broke partway through. Randomly got the urge to try again and stumbling onto this new series made me super happy. You're amazing and I hope the rest of this guide is too.
A true sign is when you aren't looking & it appears with every answer you had never looked for but was presented to you automatically without asking or seeking, as a ponder in the very back of your mind, that's a *"TRUE SIGN"* truly. Different perspectives....
Currently working on a Pokemon open world that represents where the Pokemon would probably be found in real life. Takes place on Earth, with representation of real cities, towns, etc... All gens up to 9. Kind of just starting it, and I am using this tutorial for guidance to get started. Thank you so much for updating the playlist for v20 :)
@@ave789 Pretty well. It is coming along nicely. Have the map and the Pokemon entries / sprites. Using boxes for placements of stuff. Incredibly complex, but kinda working on one town and playing as I go. Probably will show it off when it is "playable" on RUclips.
@@NotCarnaage Not as of right now. I want to get a somewhat decent of a playable game going first before I throw it onto RUclips. Why, are there any additional platforms that I can look into?
The first tutorial series taught me so much, I'm excited to see it's getting an updated version! I made sure to give this a full watch for the algorithm and ended up learning a short cut I'd forgotten in the process lol. Thanks for all the hard work you do, Thundaga!
So glad Thundaga is rebooting the series in v20. There's been so many changes that unfortunately a lot of the material in the old tutorials no longer apply! Your tutorial series in v17.2 helped me make my first game by myself (Pokemon Soulstones), Thundaga! If it weren't for your videos, I would have never gone down the path of making a Pokemon fangame that has over 35000 downloads and 3000 discord members. Hopefully you rebooting the series will help me learn something as I work on the sequel in v20.1 and many other budding developers!
I started making Pokemon fan games just a few months ago and your tutorials were an incredible help. I was wondering if you would update some of the old videos to reflect the changes in the new versions of Essentials, but you already did so much that I thought you'd stop here. It's a wonderful surprise to see you start a new series of tutorials, I'll be watching all of them religiously ! Thanks for all your efforts (and sorry for the probably bad english) !
As someone who has been recently invigorated to take a hack at making a fakemon reigon myself these videos are going to be a lifesaver! I love creators like you who put their time and effort into making other people's lives a lot nicer. Instant sub!
Do i have any real interest in making a Pokemon game for myself? No. Will I watch all of this? Absolutely. I love how clear you are about this content, even down to the simplest stuff of opening a zip file without sounding patronizing
i can't even imagine the world where every programming tutorial looks like this. at first i thought the video will be about designing the rpg system or another theoretical stuff but i still watched it. probably enjoyed it even more
Honestly a needed remake to getting started. I started making games from your tutorials 3 yrs back and I bet this vid will help new comers really well!
Your original tutorial series is what helped me begin my first fan game. As I’m still working on it, I’m glad to see a revamp of the tutorials are in the works! Great stuff as always!
I had been debating getting back into this after having followed your guide from years ago, but a few things have changed. Guess this is a sign to jump back in! Thanks for all the cool stuff you make!
This came completely out of nowhere! I have been obsessed with the original tutorial series for about a month now to make a pokemon game for fun and have been following advice of the old series despite some issues regarding the current 2.1 version and the tutorials being older versions! I am so so grateful that you decide to continue from the beginning! Thundaga, you are such an inspiration to me and I am so goad you’ve returned to teach us all
I think would seriously be the greatest custom Pokemon game ever is to have all current Pokemon maps combined similar to Johto and Kanto regions (personal favorite Pokemon gold & silver) and call it Pokemon forever
So happy to see the tutorial series rebooted 😀 One thing I wish was in the previous series is a visible mouse showing mouse clicks on the screen. I found myself having to rewatch a lot of episodes (especially later on in the series) to remind myself how simple things are done 😅 Look forward to joining you on stream some day with a completed project! Thanks for all your work ❤
I very very very rarely leave comments on youtube, but I have to say, you are an absolute legend. Ive always wanted to make my own pokemon game, im so excited, thank you for all your dedication and hard work. There are thousands of people who appreciate everything youre doing, keep it up
So funny to see this in my suggested, in the middle of starting my first fan game via the first tutorial series so you just earned a sub from me my friend. Thank you so much!
This is helping me rekindle a long old dream I thought I lost because I had a panic attack in a coding class. I appreciate this so much thank you for all your help
Oh hey a new tutorial series! I've been out of the loop for a while and I may no longer be interested in learning how to make my own fangame, but it's always nice to see a series like this get a reboot especially if there's new versions or new things going on. Keep on truckin'!
This is the best tutorial I've ever watched, and I've watched many in my life. You manage to be both extremely clear and somehow entertaining. Would literally watch these for fun while on the treadmill or something lol
This might be a weird compliment but you have a great tutorial voice, and this is a great tutorial to boot Rpg maker and essentials can feel overwhelming and having someone patiently explain things in depth and not sounding condescending when saying obvious stuff like "you can Ctrl Z to undo" while also not making it boring makes it really easy to digest information
Just want to give a premature thank you! I'm planning on starting to make a Pokemon fan game once my classes end for this semester and I'm sure this tutorial series and the older one you made will help me a lot.
I've waited so long for a new reboot of this tutorial series! There were so many updates to essentials & and I didn't rly want to begin developing a game (as a complete beginner) without a recently update tutorial series Thank you so much!
Started making a Pokemon game half a year ago thanks to your video's, i am still creating the same game, i am happy to see you make a new tutorial series since some things are outdated. can't wait to look at your content :)
niiiice a fresh series. spent an hour trying to transfer my stuff from a few years ago to my new PC but the PC it was on was so slow I gave up. I also though that a lot of things would have been updated so I may as well start from scratch (didn't have much anyway) and I go to your channel to see a new series. love it.
Did I anticipate that I would be making a pokemon game a week ago? No, but I have a hyperfixation, and so I'm very glad to have found this tutorial! Thank you for making this! (Let's hope I can stay dedicated to my personal project.)
@@kilothi8360 For quite a while I did, but I haven't been working on it these last two months honestly. Even still I think I put 200 hours into it. I'll probably start a new project when I return though, now that I know more.
Comparing this tutorial to your old tutorial is night and day and really shows how much experience you’ve gained over these last 6 years! Though I’ll miss the “Oooo Crash Bandicoot” line from the first tutorial just a little
ahhh a nice fresh reboot on the series! I remember finding your channel 4 years ago and I gotta say you really inspired me a lot! Can't wait to see more!
As a long-time watcher, the "episode 1" thing threw me off for a sec, but its good to see that there will be an updated series, I'm looking forward to seeing it.^0^ ooh, crash bandicoot
Awe yay! I’m so glad your remaking this!! I loved you old videos and they have helped me out so much and now I’m going to start working on my old project now!
Having a creative itch to try the pokemon mods again so this will be real helpful considering I last used them somewhat 10 years ago. Thanks for the high quality and detailed tutorial(s)!
Oh my! I was literally watching one of your tutorial video’s yesterday and hoping you will upload new tutorials. I’ve been watching some of your streams and let’s plays of the jam games. Good to see you back at the essentials tutorials again! Can’t wait to learn more!
I've been playing Pokemon Reborn and discovered how good such pokemon fangames can be. Just for fun I'll try my hand at making one myself. You've got yourself a subscriber! This looks great
Well this is exciting! I started at the beginning of August, having never even used RMXP before. Just released the first episode of my fangame yesterday to my friends and they LOVE it! Thank you for all you do, man
Thank goodness, I’ve always hoped you’d one day start over with this series. So much has changed and I’m very rusty, this is a great opportunity for me to relearn all of this.
Thanks for making this tutorial! I'm just starting to make my first fangame, so this new series came out at the perfect time for me. I'll be watching all of these!
The reboot we've all been waiting for! I hope we get into making custom weather this time... since the weather episode implied we'd do custom ones later, but it never happened.
love to see a new tutorial series featuring all the new stuff in v20.1! id hope quite a bit is refreshed and new while also staying true to previous versions
You are so underated man! Love the Channel, ive been thinking of starting game making, and This is a very simple Way to make some cool Pokemon projects!
