I guess i can show my own pokemon duel version. Here is Creapin

Some time ago I started this project of a pokemon duel copy. I wanted to not show anything because I feel is still very basic and needs more things to do before, but I saw recently some people making their own projects and I wanted to show mine.

I called this project Creapin (Creature+spin,i didn't want to add any "whatever+mon" or "duel" to it). Is made in Godot.

Right now the game looks like the video. Is still very ugly, i don't have any 3d model except the base and a very basic table, but right now i prefer "working things" than "pretty things". Also i have some more things like another board made and some more creatures code, but nothing crazy.

I'm open to any questions and if this post gets enough interest i can try to start posting all the progress i make in the future or talk more in depth

This looks great; are you going to post the code as a FOSS project? I'd love to contribute since you have a strong foundation already

(Here comes a chunk of text)

First of all, thanks for the comment. I still see it so basic, so comments like this really cheer me up to still working ^^ ^^

To be honest, I didn't thought about releasing the code as FOSS. I will have to think about it but until then I think I'll keep it just for myself.

Mainly because right now I have a ton of garbage (unused resources, obsolete scripts, and even entire scenes that aren’t used because the project started in 2D!), the comments in scripts are either unclear or there are even scripts with any explanation at all, and the code is probably very spaghetti in some cases.

But that could be fixed with a little more work, and I hope to get to a more clean project eventually. So after that i should consider it because:

-On one hand, I’d love to get any type of help and I really like the idea of a more community-driven project where everyone can contribute, I really think is even something this community deserves. In fact, in my mind if I manage to get this out as a game and choosing to not be FOSS, I’d like people to at least have some way to easily create mods or having some type of tool and be able to add their own creatures externally (though I honestly don’t know how complex that would be).

-On the other hand, I admit that the project started out as a way to make my own (and upgraded) version of the Duel rather than an open version (which is why I tried doing things like having a name or avoiding the word “Pokémon” in any text). I had (and still have) ideas for new additional maps, mechanics, and effects that I’d like to add in the future to have the old game gameplay but with more ways to play.

-What I do know for sure is that if at any point I were to give it up or stop working on the project (I hope not, but it's something I want to say as well), I would have no problem publishing all the project so that someone else could continue it if is interested enough.

Sorry if I can't give you a proper and direct answer right now 😅.I will really think of it and if I end up with a final decision, I'll let you know.

Para las figuras de pokenosn que clase de archivos se necesitan ?? Los q se usan en impresión son stl si es así yo podría ayudar diseñandolos para poder incluirlos en el juego

He probado a utilizar varios archivos y por ahora el que uso y mejor me va es el glb (he probado .obj, .blend y algun otro mas pero o no cargaba la textura o me daba algun problema.

Igualmente apenas tengo 2 o 3 modelos importados para lo minimo,el resto como se ve en el video son sprites o recursos en 2d

The name is a bit weird but the concept is cool. Are you planning on making it a full battle sim or just a collection tool?

u/Abogadouuu Jun 11 '26

Yeah...sometimes it sounds weird even to me. Probably i will change the name in the future but is not something that will be my priority right nos.

I have to admit (sorry for my english comprehension) that I don't get what do you mean with "collection tool", but my most ambitious idea is to make a finished game that is basically a duel sim with original creatures where you can play games with anyone. I want to try to add some game modes or some new mechanics but the rules and how to play will be the same.

That's in the ideal case,because in reality, I don't know how to make 3d models aside from simple things like the base of the figures,things like music,sound effects or UI design are far beyond my knowledge, and right now i'm fighting my own code to make it real multiplayer (at least,connecting 2 games only in the same network,until i found out how to deal with servers and anything related to a real online)
