Released Miragea's Traveler 🌿

This project has a release available. The full version is still a work in progress.
Project Status
Work in Progress
Miragea needs you!

As a rookie member of the Trainer Union, it’s your mission to help people, protect Pokémon, and safeguard the natural world.
Climb the ranks from 1 to 6, but be careful: not all your fellow Union members are on your side.
While Union Leader John wrestles with a growing number of missing person cases, Poachers lurk in each area, exploiting Pokémon for profit whenever they can.




FEATURES:

  • Story-driven gameplay based on your Union Rank (no Gyms, but Rank Battles!)
  • Custom character portraits to bring emotional cutscenes to life
  • Simplified Hidden Base with customizable furniture – and a few surprises to discover!
  • Mega Evolution available later on
  • Exploration-first design: optional routes, secrets, and side content
  • Unlock new, free-roam areas as you climb the ranks: forests, beaches, haunted mansions, fairy woods, deserts, snowy mountains, and more
  • Custom battle backgrounds for many locations
  • Balanced difficulty: challenging but fair, without endless grinding
  • No wild battle music - except for boss fights
  • A few, optional Fakemon
  • Most weak Pokémon are useful now!

IMPORTANT:

If you have any errors, don't comment "Game glitches, pls help" - explain what happens, when it happens, if it's the first time you start the game, send a screenshot, or else I can't help you!


NOTES:

This is my first major project! I'm still learning a lot and would love any bug reports, feedback about the characters, or general impressions! 🌟

How's the difficulty? Who did you like the most and who made the most problems? How's the level-curve?

You can play till reaching rank 3 in this demo. Be careful and save a lot, in case you encounter any bugs that crash the game! Tried my best to fix them with one other person playtesting, but it's impossible to find them all ;w;

You also can explore the third area a bit if you like to, "Crimson Area". Though it's unfinished, there aren't any NPCs yet!

Thanks so much for checking it out! c:

1. It seems like you cheated to get a lot of money and Items, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

2. I used your save file, went into the poacher base, and the game didn't crash. There's no error. You reach the place near the manor with ava, talk to the entrance of the poacher base, and climb down the ladder. That works. If you mean something else, you can tell me. Though cheating can cause games to crash too. I'd suggest you try playing it without cheats.

Here are some fun glitches and more:
Walking on water:

There are two fields to walk on.

Swimming stones:

It asks you, but you will swim where you stand. You can click these stones anywhere in Miragea. In Dewsbury and Sapodilla Woods are a lot.

Leaving the area:

It is possible to go past the stones in Sapodilla Forest. (Maybe there was an item and I just forgot 🙃

Invisible AVA:

After getting AVA as companion for Lonely Path quest, when you leave through one of these 2 area, AVA will be gone. She will still be in battle, but she won't follow you around anymore. Until you fly to Dewsbury.

Event retrigger in Poppip Grove:

After redownloading and revisiting this area, the event for a search quest retriggered.
Which means some cute pokemon sounds and moving like a ghost a few steps... without actually seeing the pokemon o.O

Blocked field to the left:



Writing:
Lanturn:

I was considering which pokemon to try. Liked Lanturn in the past, maybe?

Lanturn again:

Ok, you got me. Lanturn it shall be^^

She not He:

... I guess ...


Look who is missing ...

That might be story relevant. Kidnapped?
My punished, äh, favorite NPC outside of the Union halls is missing. He is not back in Ruphis and hasn't left any letter or message (gone to mum maybe?). Upon sighting, please contact the Union immediately 🙏

General Feedback:
Impression:
There are a few times, when I held my breath and halted...
Art scenes, but also emotional scenes struck me...
Since the last post, this was especially so with the 'loud neighbour' in Dewsbury. And when I continued reading, this scene warmed the heart...

Music:
  • I used the Dewsbury music for family lunch as backgroundmusic.
  • I use the bike for music only^^ (The loop is little off...I think?)

Custom Pokemon:
  • Never imagined a bug-Eevee could look good. Often thought about it before... This design surprised me, WOW
  • Delcatty looks aesthetic
  • Redesigning Pokemon looks good, but also made them good 👍
  • Myth about Pokemon seem right/fitting
(modern Pokemon games often forget that a legendary Pokemon should have a 'legend' to be called a 'legendary' Pokemon)

Furret is one of your top 10 Pokemon, I bet (Ingame town people seem to like them a lot^^)

Maybe bad:

The 'mean' people. Reminded me of the bikers from pokemon leaf green, Sevii Island :-)
And this interaction in my quest felt really good.

=> After the fight, the whole scene was like "They are no criminals". And like "Just awkward people". That seemed like a joke that I did not get...
(To my defense, I did not pay enough attention, sorryy!)

Afterwards, those two simply liked the quest-giver a lot^^ Maybe I am thinking 'too real', but something feels off...
Like, even if people generally have good hearts, it does not mean you always realize that. Or that they simply say it out loud.

There was a thug in my school class. He was doing that school year for the third time.
Someday, he boxed me in the stomach.
By the way, it was elementary school and 3 years difference is a lot!
Afterwards, we became friends. ... !!
The parents of that boy never wanted him to go to school. And they treated him badly...
... Sometimes, you never understand thugs.
But in this story, he became very friendly towards me^^
"It just felt off" is all I can say, I probably need to pay more attention next time :p


Balance:
- Level up speed after level 40 feels too fast
I did a second team. Then I started to level my third team before fighting Nathan
(His Houndoom beat my level 50 team by flinching the most important one twice in a row -.- Oh, Glaceon roar actually got me, fyi^^)
- Boss Pokemon HP, a great idea. Awesome. Solves so much I always wanted. "Other developers, do you seeeee thiiis? That's how you do it, hahahaaa!"
*cough


Areas:

  • revisiting old areas with increased level felt good
  • open world: Area are big enough, with lots of optional routes = Like old Pokemon -> well made exploration
  • interactions like duskull, or even the water bubbles are interesting.
(reminds me of other old game-boy games. And pokemon had those as role model after all...)

Items:
  • Item finder never worked (Maybe not needet)
  • Sitrus Berry MVP
  • Fertilizer, I can buy it now 🙂
  • Amount of invisible items found feels to be more and better (since previous post) ... it makes me feel a little forced to click everything ....
  • Personal Opinion: The bag gets too full with different items to sell (Typical modern pokemon game experience). And messy. What is the 'sort' button?
Someday, Pokemon company will create 'Key Items' like a gem-casket, an evolution casket and some other mini-bags... -.-

What I wish for:
- More optional bosses
There was the Ruin and the ground pokemon from the first cave. Can't remember anyone else really 'optional' 🤔
In FFXII (PS2-Game), there was a starting area with some wolves and cacteen as enemy. And a huge level 28 dinosaur eating wolves ....
That's the feeling I got going to the ruin. Something, I wanna overcome eventually.
(Pokemon Legends Arceus Relaxo might have been the same. Never played.)
- For dear developer to not overwork. Just be like now (because as the gamer, we can 'feel' it in the game)

Character(s):
I am sooo tired after writing so much. So I make it for this story character only^^'
When Scarlet offered to be friends with Ava again, to experience together and for Scarlet to change if necessary ... I was like, that's the friendship I wanna see. Felt good ... up to a surprise!
Ava ´ ´ said ´ ´ no ´ ´ !

Scarlet loves Ava and wants to change herself to fit in ... but she always talks about herself. She is (my Interpretation!!) selfish.
(Like not talking about how the changes Ava is experiencing will fit in to this. How maybe the new friend of Ava fits in)

This is something I am relearning myself. It surprised me and I actually can't fully understand it ... yet.
Which makes this a valuable learning experience.

More than a game:
A piece of art.
Something to inspire,
to learn from,
to touch the heart.

(can't make it rhyme -.- I give up!
Give me more! 'b back, yup!)



Scarlet: I am losing my friend "Maybe going here wasn't a good idea for us"
Ava: I have a good feeling with my new friend. ... my new friend ... understands me "I will ... try to grow"

And so will I!


I enjoyed it. No, it is more ... I learned.

That doesn't help much in figuring out what's wrong. Please explain more or show a screenshot. Does an error pop up?
I manage to figure it out. it seems that the game soft ware is unable to work properly if you connected your Nintendo switch pro control ( with the usb attached ) to the computer as it would cause the game to glitch. So i had to connect the control using blue tooth for the soft ware to work.

Thanks again! Sorry for the late reply. Took a break and then forgot about it haha :D
You helped a lot with giving bug reports, and general feedback too!
About those mean people: The questgiver is rich, and both of these guys like her a lot. So they're rivals to each other, while blaming each other for only liking the questgiver, because she's rich. They want to bring questgiver that parcel to win over her favor and kinda forget about their own manners due to that rivalry between them. But I think if that's the only quest you didn't like as much, it's still a good thing haha xD

I also fixed the itemradar thanks to you. Forgot something important... and then had to change a script to make it work ;w;
And I'll try to implement more bosses again in area 3 ^-^
 
This game looks interesting. I am just now seeing this. But what is the average playtime for this project? And is it completed? :)

Thank you!
The game is work in progress. In the current version, you can play till reaching rank 3/6 c:
Playtime.... Hmmm, depends a lot on how much you like to explore. I've seen anything between 5-13 hours I think.

Sweet! I will check this out then! Thank you! It looks very nice and polished! 5-13 hours should give me a good chunk of my time!

"The questgiver is rich..." This makes so much more sense now :D Yeah, I totally did not pay enough attention ^^'

And yeah, it was really difficult to find something I did not like, lol.
(A good feedback ususally needs Pro and Cons, lol)

I liked how there is an explanation later how I missed new pokemon early on. It makes me excited to replay with a different team^^
You are free to send me a mail or so when you want someone to check for bugs >.<

Also yey, more bosses =)
 
Yo it's me Rekuta19, and i'm using my second account since i forgot my first account password.

I realize there might be a cool way for this game to get better.

I've seen many spanish pokemon fangames and there is one fangame that made me interested right now is called pokemon revival.

Normally i see some fangames were all just same, but there is one thing that caught my interest in that game. In Pokemon Revival, you can play as ALL of the protagonist, i mean like controling all of them.

Maybe you could make it work in your game. And a little tiny bit request tho, is it okay if i request for having 2 starter in the game at the start? Just like how pokemon X&Y did back then, but you can choose which starter region you want, you got what i mean?

That's all what i wanna say, talk to u later!

Hey!
And I don't plan to implement that. That's a huge thing to ask of a game dev and I'd have to go back and change A LOT from the beginning till where I am now. So I won't implement it.

And I don't see the point of getting two starters. You have a huge variety of Pokemon you can catch, including starters from other regions.
Have a nice day though!

Eh, np, just asking out about it.

Also, i just realized you were a solo dev. My god you're the best. Good luck for the next update, many youtuber already praised your game, so you'll do good

Alright, I mean, the demo is out since quite some time now, so understandable to forget stuff like that ;w;

Huh, many youtubers? o:
I saw two. One talked about it for a short moment, and the other made a playthrough and I cringed a lot at seeing my own game >.<

Dang, why you cringed tho? I mean some of them realy praised for your work, and sad that they finished the demo lol. I remembered Herovoltsy flabbergasted at what you said for being a solodev.

Also, since there were new mega evolutions on pokemon, are you goin to plan adding them as well? If so, well i'm happy about it.
