Unreal Engine 5 fan remake Gamma Emerald gets its first early access release

​

After being announced last year, the fan-made remake Gamma Emerald has finally gotten its first early access release. A complete rebuild of fan-favourite Pokemon Emerald in Unreal Engine 5, the game has amassed a sizeable following keeping up with the small developments as they've been posted. On the creator's YouTube channel, we've seen teasers for the battles, area design, and various menus. Not to mention showing off the Game Corner in its full glory.

A lot of effort has gone into making this game feel like the originals, while introducing new graphics similar to Square Enix's HD-2D titles. You can find an overview of what to expect below, with this first release featuring content up to the region's third gym:

What to Expect said:
In the Overworld, there is
  • The entire path from Littleroot to Mauville (including every interior) built tile by tile.
  • Your LEAD/Ace Pokémon can follow you around outside its ball.
  • Day/Night system, encounters may adjust with the time.
  • Berry System/Planting works with the IRL clock. It takes IRL 8 hours to grow new berries.
  • HMs are now automatic, you no longer need to teach them to your Pokémon, once obtained, simply interact with a tree, rock, boulder, etc etc and your party will take care of the rest. Ignore the contradictions with that at the time.
  • Hidden Items around the map, Hand drawn town map
In the battles you can expect
  • Turn based system built from scratch accurately representing battle logic
  • Battles are influenced with Abilities, Held Items and weather, with status and more.
  • TMs are taught from the Change Move screen, not the bag.
  • Trainers can be rematched (after beating the early access)
  • ONLY single battles, in the early access, I did not have time to make double battles.
  • Physical/Special SPLIT in battles, gen 6 formula and rules
Systems in game
  • PC and Box storage are right on you at all times, for convenience
  • Daycare system has full implementation
  • The Game Corner has been added (some Pokémon listed are out of stock)
  • P2P trading
  • Controller support, it is highly recommended you commit to a single peripheral. Switching between controller, keyboard and mouse and clog the UI system and you may experience unexpected bugs.

Palworld is a completly different game I wish people would stop using this comparison

After the the monster catching that’s where the similarity’s stop. The game is a grindy ark/rust type clone with monsters tacked on after

And the ones Pocketpair tried to pull. (After being sued, they altered how Pals are summoned knowing they had gone too far, as an example of blatantly ripping off Pokemon.)

Even if they do, I have the full source code of the game now

So it can be preserved

well and good, but it's still only the "early access release" -- which I assume means not the full game, just a demo(?)
if it's actually the full game - but a beta, that's really cool of them.

The game only goes up the 3rd gym atm from my understanding

Which I agree is unfortunate but I’m excited for the future if it does stay alive !
