    MysteryCord

    MysteryCord (or PMDiscord) is a text-based fangame inspired by the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, played via a Discord client with chat commands.

Features on the list include getting the commands to be cleaner and self-explanatory, and some sort of prestige display so players can feel like they’re doing something. All in due time. As of today, I’ve covered…

  • A New Kind of PKMN Battle!

    So, at its core, PMDiscord was a result of me beating the story of PMD: Explorers of Sky and thinking, “this could have been a lot more challenging! And the AI sucks! What if I could have the friends I named my teammates after play as them instead?” Pretty humble, right? The story kept me…
