Hey there, Unity dev here. This is so impressive. After using Unity for a while, you get used to having a powerful toolbox that can just almost magically create different complex systems and components. It’s so impressive to see how people put together their own engine and logic using a mix of different software. Also, you kept mentioning “drawn in Figma”. Did you draw these graphics completely in Figma from zero? I use Figma for managing visual assets and for doing mock-ups for game mechanics, but I haven’t seen it used to create these kind of graphics before. Very cool!

This looks really cool! Appreciate your ethical approach to monetization and community feedback, and the intentional gameplay design decisions regarding combat. Wish more developers thought like you. At a glance, I see one relatively small improvement you could make that would improve the user experience in combat. Your animations remind me a lot of RPGMaker animations (in a good way, I might add), though they're missing the flash effect applied to the sprite at the climax of the animation. I believe it's done by additively blending the 'flash color' into the frag shader, similar to an emission value (or it might be interpolating between the texture color and the flash color? not sure, either way I'm sure you could manage it, I've been watching your videos for a while, haha). I might also say the effects could stand to be a little more centered on the sprites. What you've got so far looks really, really cool, and I'll definitely give it a shot. Best of luck, keep at it!

Nintendo actually made PvP really friendly for kids with Pokemon Unite. There is not text field to send messages on battles but they have pre-written messages that you can send. Maybe going this way and combining this with an age check at each battle (to check if there are kids) and you can swap a text message field with predefined messages (depending on all player's ages in that battle). This way, adults can talk shit if no kids are around. And OMG, this app is looking amazing. Congrats man!

Cool project, but tbh I don't really see myself playing this at all. It seems more like a fun side project than an actual game. The graphics are pretty eh and it doesn't seem very exciting and I don't really see a story or "goal". What I'd say makes Pokémon fun and exciting, especially the older 2d games is: the world building, the story, the lovable, unique and well designed characters & Pokémon, as well as the story line and the ultimate goal of becoming the champion and the clear way to get there. In this game however the graphics are boring, not very unique and it's quite flat with not a lot of detail. There doesn't seem to be a story nor a goal. And it seems more like "Pou" with some Pokémonesque battling sprinkled in. And tbh I don't see the point in going down this vector art route as it just takes away from the lovable unique aspect, especially when it's so simplified.
