ProjectRetro - A 3D Reinterpretation of Pokemon Yellow

https://youtu.be/AosWRDqO3H0

The Story

Having always had a blast replaying and remembering the joy that was to play Pokemon Yellow, I decided to give my own spin to the original game, by 3D-fying many elements of the Overworld maps, while emulating others as they appeared in the original game.

The project originally started as an ECS tech test, with the intention being to discover how applicable a pure ECS framework would be in such a scenario (cloning an old Gameboy Color Game). This is the reason behind most of the ECS-oriented code sprinked across the repo.

Implementation

The project is being developed using C++ & SDL2 and is Windows/MacOS compatible.
