About
And so another jam has rolled around! I just wanted to have fun this time. I went into this project being super-indulgent. I focused a lot more on making tiles and adding nods to many of the great people I've met in the community.

I had a lot of fun working on the graphics. Story and gameplay… Not so much. They gave me plenty of trouble this time, and I'm not really happy with how rushed the ending feels.

If you're looking for an easier time where you go from point A to B with trainers along the path, and a lot of chatting, this is your game. Hopefully, it's still an enjoyable, playable experience!

Summary
In this game you play as Octavia, a budding psychic trainer. Octavia and mother have come to town on a mission - her grandmother has passed away, and now the house must be cleaned up. While Octavia is a little too young to help with many of the tasks around the house, her mother and the strange real estate agent will come up with errands for her to run.

Optional Theme - Simplicity
This time, I used writing to convey the theme of simplicity. There are a few key key ideas that pop up through the story:
  • A child's less complicated way of viewing the world, people, and problem-solving
  • Characters with murky relationships that Octavia struggles to interpret
  • A simple villain thwarted by a simple solution
  • The word "simple" and its synonyms also make a cameo every now and again

Features
  • Gen 8 Pokémon
  • The ability to read people and Pokémon's thoughts

Known Bugs
  • The PC's visuals sometimes act a little wacky when moving around Pokémon. (Their icons vanish, layer incorrectly, etc.)
  • The tall grass likes to act wacky with its priority/bush flag
  • Apple pie doesn't always like to work

When I try to unpack the download, it just says "error in packed file". Can you reupload?
 
Hello, so far I have been playing the game for a while and got a shiny. May I ask if the shiny rate is boosted or somehow I got really lucky?

Hello, creator! Do you mind if I translate your game into Chinese? I like this game very much, and Chinese players will also like it.
 
To not spoil for anyone who is about to play:

You were definitely not kidding when you said you indulged on the tiles, every single map here is absolutely gorgeous! I'm someone who prefers visually appealing games more, and this definitely delivered on that department. Not related, but I played on Kiwi and Daisy since green is my favorite colour, I love games that allow you to choose frames XD

I adore the world-building with the fact that our character and her mother and psychics! Her mother building barriers so her daughter doesn't run off, reading Pokémon and humans' minds (even when they aren't in close proximity like how she checked up on her daughter) are all so interesting to think about. (I also like how people aren't weirded out, but it is described as a curse at some point)

You said the story wasn't really complicated, but Octovia's family tree certainly was XD I started out thinking Higashi was trying to get a cut of the inheritance, to thinking he was just trying to flirt with Octavia's mother, to complicated family relations of an estranged uncle who indeed did look out for Octavia by putting money to her trust fund but never found it in himself to actually step up because of mommy/daddy issues was-

One hell of a ride XD

Also, did... the mesprit blow up the entire island at the end or..? (btw the fact you put heart next to Michael's name in the credits is so sweet XD)

Also, is the shiny rate higher? Got 2 random shinies and I'm wondering if I'm just lucky XD
