Hiiiiii and happy new year, if I hadn't already said that somewhere down the line!
Both Renegade and Paragon have been tested by some of the dev members.Right now, I'm finishing up certain branching cutscenes (By this, I mean there are cough cough, different endings in this version cough). And these ones are taking a little bit more effort so it's taking more time.
So, is there anything I have been working on that isn't necessarily a spoiler? Well. I have! The other day I gave the Alamissa Gallery a little bit of a tune up.
Before:
After:
It has improved lighting, and better looking structure. I wanted to show that you're not just in some floating dark space, but on a structure that's quite literally falling apart. Besides that, there's not much else. But it looks a lot prettier :). cough... um. anyways let's move on from these two pictures.
After a certain point in the v14, you will come across strange objects on the overworld.
These orbs hold something called Hidden Techniques. Tons of these are scattered all around the world. Each orb may be able to resonate with a specific -Starter Pokemon-.Each of them will be able to teach them a new move, or "Hidden Technique" that they can not normally learn. For example, this one will resonate with Meganium and you will be able to teach it Moonblast.I have not yet decided if I'm barring Starter Pokemon you get from the lab only, or if you can use any starter you find. The original idea behind this was to reward you for keeping your starter from chapter 1 all the way over to v14. But it'd also kinda suck to have to play the game all over again just to be able to resonate with another one. I dunno! Maybe I'll run a little poll... just to disregard it and pick something that feels best idk lol.
But yeah, some of these moves can get a litttleeee crazy. But it's fine.
That's pretty much all I have to reallly share. It feels like the scope of this version just never ends, but that's what I signed up for, I guess. I hope to have the next cycle of testing happen soon, but to be honest I've been feeling a little mentally fatigued lately, so I've been slowing down a lot. Sorry, but I can't be expected to run at 100% for so long :[.
Thank you all for supporting me! I hope you all have a wonderful snow apocalypse (if you're in the states). and for everyone else... uh, have a normal weekend I guess.
buh bye
