Welcome to the Velos Region!
Velos supports a wide variety of cultures, landscapes and unique views.
...Although, because of its diversity, this region is divided into four provinces, each with their own differences and conflicts.

Known Issues:
Most issues have been fixed, but the game can crash from saving (I don't know how it happens), but your game does save!

Theme Usage:
(MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS) There are two main ways that Abstract utilizes the "Dimensions" theme.

The first is obvious; we have an area in the game called the Chaos Dimension, where your flaws are accentuated.
Secondly, the entirely of the game is focused on learning about different points of view and cultures. You get to explore the dimensions of how different people live, how different provinces fight, and how us humans aren't meant to be perfect. This is the main and most important use of the theme.

thanks so much for playing man! I’m sorry you didn’t find the Polteagite 😭😭 pretty sure it’s in Carnage Pathway. So glad you enjoyed Robin’s Gym bcs that was honestly the most fun to make. Really love gyms that push past expectations, and a rain grass team was so fun.

Btw, what was your order of doing everything? (you can check your completed quests if you forgot). it’s cool to see where everyone went at the end of the game (if anyone else has completed the game and hasn’t posted their path, feel free to lmk too!)
Hmmmmmmmmm lessee. the order of the gyms was
rock (I did not find the thread with help until I had muddled through myself 🙃)
electric
dragon
grass and first beacon
poison and second beacon
psychic
fighting and third beacon
steel and fourth beacon

Basically I did the rock gym and after that puzzle I chickened out of the "harder" path bc I was worried all the puzzles would be like that 😅 I got to the fighting island and then immediately went over to get the climbing gear and then popped back on over.

It makes sense that I missed it tbh, I know there are a LOT of routes I didn't fully explore bc I was getting antsy to beat the next gym or something. But I'm an ADHD gremlin so I followed the dopamine rather than completing things LOL

hi! I've been enjoying this game so far, despite some of the bugs. I'm only at the second gym but I'll definitely give my full thoughts once I'm finished. One thing I would like to say is that this is a pretty impressive game for a game jam game and I can see how easy it is for bugs to slip through which such a short development time. But I do hope you guys continue to polish this game, you've got something special here!

I'm just curious because watching the video at the beginning I am getting a lot of Raya and the Last Dragon vibes and I'm here for it.
This game looks sick.

What is the shiny rate?

So far so good but I am getting a lot of that save crash that is listed here and as an anal saver it's a little obnoxious ngl. Is this going to be fixed?

When do the starters evolve? Mine is at level 20 and not evolving.
UPDATE: Level 25 now and still not evolving.

Known Issues:
-If you try to view any specific Pokemon in the Pokedex, the game will crash. You can at least open the Pokedex, just don't select anything.
-Sneasler and Clodsire are catchable, but they aren't in the Pokedex and they don't have sprites. They only show up later in the game due to level scaling, so you can use them if you want, but at your own risk. I would not advice it.
-AI might cause the game to have a pop up appear because the opponent can't make a choice! Still working on fixing this one, but it doesn't close out the game, so close out the pop up and enjoy your free turn lol.
-Menu Frame 8 causes the game to crash because it doesn't exist! (AAAAAAAA)
-Finally, the game can crash from saving (I don't know how it happens), but your game does save!

Theme Usage:
(Will add this about a week after the jam goes live)

Good concept and enjoy playing this but the experience on playing this game still get hampered by Pokedex crash and sometimes save crash. I also don't know why for me the route in game is little bit short and not many side story in game but maybe it's just personal opinion. In the end thank you for this game

okay, speedrunning this lol

What level does Mireger evolve?
So far so good but I am getting a lot of that save crash that is listed here and as an anal saver it's a little obnoxious ngl. Is this going to be fixed?

When do the starters evolve? Mine is at level 20 and not evolving.
UPDATE: Level 25 now and still not evolving.
All Velos starters evolve at Lvl 30 (they’re like Uranium starters. Only evolve once, but get a sick mega form.)
i just started the game and it looks really good by any chance is there a speed up button
No speed up button but one of my friends used some outside program to speed it up/slow it down for fun. Should be possible to.
Was the region lore in this game inspired by Raya and the Last Dragon?
I'm just curious because watching the video at the beginning I am getting a lot of Raya and the Last Dragon vibes and I'm here for it.
This game looks sick.

What is the shiny rate?
haven’t watched Raya and the Last Dragon so I’m really curious to now lmao. Also shiny rate is default essentials bcs we didn’t modify it.
Question, is there a Discord Server for this game by chance? Would LOVE to speak with people on there for Trades or whatnot.
unfortunately, there isn’t a discord server for this (yet). I don’t think any of us on the team would have the time to moderate it, but maybe we could consider it. For now, the rc thread and the rc discord server work well for discussion about abstract.
Is there anywhere to see the locations for the Pokemon? I just started and want a Salandit and Dewpider for my team and don't know where to find them lol.
can’t see the encounter pbs but I can tell you that both Dewpider and Salandit are found in the Carnage Province (I believe Dewpider is in Tribellar Swamp and Salandit is in Tribellar Woods)
How does Bisharp evolve?
Bisharp can’t evolve because we don’t have the assets for Kingambit. Maybe we could add it in at some point.

Loving this game so far in spite of some nasty bugs. I do have a suggestion, however, to ease the gameplay experience, and that's adding convenient healing spots in some routes (like nurses). It's so easy to get bogged down by the many trainers and wild Pokemon on the way to the next town, and considering the sheer size of some of the routes, I think adding a nurse at certain checkpoints could ease things up a bit so you don't have to waste time going back to the previous town to heal (until you get access to the flying mechanic, of course). This is just a suggestion, so I'll let you decide if it can be implemented or not.

ngl I actually really like that idea! Would definitely help with getting exhausted in routes. Also we’re working on fixing bugs but we’re all pretty busy lol

Wow quite a coincidence haha.

Is there a way to obtain the other two starters?
I love my Sowlstice but I just found out via Voltsy that Miregar evolves into Water/Ground and now I want one as well.
