Well, I've still got over a week left until my computer and other equipment arrives with the shipping truck, so I'm sitting on my mother's computer with none of my tools. Decided to pick up GM:HTML5, so that I'd have something to work on outside of Uni projects (my course is using DarkBASIC, and I refuse to lower myself to using that outside of that course). Started working on recreating the Pokémon Trading Card game (Gameboy Color) with Fire Red/Leaf Green graphics style. I'll post my progress and such here, since this has completely captivated my development efforts as it's gone from using GM to prototype, to me deciding to completely develop this game. XD
As it stands, I'm only planning on doing a direct recreation of the original game, so I won't be including any of the newer cards. If I end up porting this system to C++/OpenGL later (which was my original intention), I may end up including more cards, using Squirrel scripting for card effects. I honestly don't know how far I'll go with this project at the moment, but it'll probably occupy all of my time here in Ohio.
The most up-to-date progress will be posted via my Tumblr:

What I'm Looking For In Current Prototype- Thoughts on Animation Speed
- Thoughts on Movement Speed
- Thoughts on Collision System
- Bugs with Text system
Known ProblemsBoth- (Fixed) Hyphen character looks odd with lower-case characters. (Lowered character placement.)
- (Fixed) Tile layer issues in room - computer, table, and boards at top of room.
- (Fixed) Text system is somewhat broken.
ScreenshotsPlease bear in mind that this project is still in the prototyping phase.Feb 6, 2012Dr. Mason's Lab:
DJ just made me an updated deck machine, too. :D
Thanks to Jordan for recreating the card table. <3
Recreated text from all of the book shelves. The HTML5 version has a lot of issues with the conversation system, however. I'm probably going to spend some time reworking it-right now it's a modified version of what I took from a Davve's (GMC;;
