Beyond Episode 1

This is a page for ideas for Tuxemon series games, that don't necessarily fit with Episode 1: The Spyder in the Cathedral.

Plots/Game premises

• Play through the game as an NPC (limited team, based on the team of any trainer in the game)
• You are the leftover tuxemon that wasn't picked. Wander around the world getting up to mischief.
• Escape at the Daycare!
• You are a human stuck in tuxemon form
• Take down an evil team from inside, using only your assigned tuxemon

Tuxemon Gym Simulator

Each gym wants to defend its own Badges and claim Badges from others, so they can send their teams to the next level of the competition.

Take cues from 4X, tower defence, football manager, Dungeon Keeper and sim games.

Tuxemon Harvest

Original thread

• We already have a bunch of fruit and vegetable and other farm items, and animations for growing plants (many from Catch Challenger)

Simple farming

• Consumable items are mostly fruit, vegetables, seeds, and so on. For example, instead of an ANTIDOTE, we could have an ANTIDOTE APPLE. Instead of CURE BURN, we could have BURNBALM MELON.
• There are fertile patches scattered around the world, especially in your backyard.
• When you acquire the HOE item, you can hoe a fertile patch.
• You can plant a fruit/vegetable/seed, etc., in the hoed patch.
• After X steps, the seed grows into the next stage. After another X steps, it grows into the next stage, and so on until you reach the final stage.
• If you have a WATERING CAN, you can water each patch. That halves the number of steps it takes until it grows into the next stage (then it dries out and has to be watered again for the next stage).
• Then if you have a SCYTHE you can harvest the plant, and get multiple copies of whatever item you planted in the first place. The patch becomes bare, waiting to be hoed again.

Novel additions to standard games

• Instead of being given a starter, you are sent to a Hunting Ground with some capture devices and bait, and you can attempt to catch whichever one you like.
• Crawls
