Just finished playing the game and I must say the writing and the story in this game are so good!! ❤
Every character felt unique and with so much personality and made the story flow very nicely!
All the locations felt well designed around the various quests and the polish in events and custom pixel-art work complemented that well!

The only nitpicks I have are just with me not being used to play PSDK games, such as the battle animations and the button layout.

But the effort that went into cooking up the feeling of a Mystery Dungeon game really paid off, definitely suggesting anyone looking for a nice story on that kind of vibe to play this game!

Will play any future updates for sure

Tomix9tomix · Sep 23, 2024

finished playing the game! It was super fun, I don't really have too much to mention because the game really did just do a good job in all aspects. Writing and cutscenes were super charming. Story was fun, I can see already that the world is setting up to be something interesting. Mapping was beautiful. And I really liked the battle system with the items! I thought a couple of the fights was a bit tough, e.g scyther gang. But the item system gives you a pretty good advantage over the enemies so I think it worked well.

Looking forward to the future acts! good luck!

Fiiiiinally got around to playing this - I promised myself I'd get to it eventually after Ranko played All Things It Devours - and it was a great game! I generally go for more experimental / absurd games, so I wasn't sure I'd enjoy a PMD-style adventure so much, but the many layers of charm and excellent writing absolutely won me over. The writing was my favorite part by far - pretty much every NPC was memorable and felt like a real character, and there was clearly a lot of thought put into matching personalities to Pokemon. A persevering Ledian trying not to be useless, a silly cactus dance squad, a serious and intimidating Indeedee, a group of Falinks running an inn... these were all beautiful little vignettes that made the world feel real!

Another huge plus I wanna point out was that the gameplay felt really balanced (and this is something I've practically never seen in a game jam entry - balance is real hard to do quickly). I chose Mudkip, and so my gameplay experience was charming and fun, and managed to feel epic without actually killing me, which felt like the "right" difficulty for a cozy game like this.

Critical Feedback - not too much, honestly. My main criticism is just that the game felt like a worthy entry in the PMD series... and therefore didn't have much that was really unique or groundbreaking. But, I bet this comes down to a difference in philosophy more than anything else - what you have is an amazing PMD game, and I feel like y'all absolutely hit -your- target. Outside of that, there are quite a few collision errors remaining in 1.4 (and one really funny one where you can walk on water in the Secluded Woods), but they really don't detract from the game! Well done!

Oh, I should add - there was a strange bug I kept running into where the cancel button confirmed, and maybe the cursor defaulted to different locations if I cancelled a choice (like a "are you sure you want to proceed" choice), and then saved and entered it again, only to have the cursor show up over Yes instead of No? Super small thing, but it did cause me to turn all my cloth into Defense Scarves, lol.

Thank you so much! That sounds like a bug in the Crafting system, I'll definitely report it soon!

A new adventure heats up in the world of Pokémon, with yourself starring as one!

Waking up dragged along in the desert with no memories as to how you got here, you soon find yourself tagging along with a timid, but well meaning, Sobble to take down various outlaws that this rough region has to offer. Perhaps you'll be able to find the answer as to why you've become a Pokémon, but more important problems exist... Maybe you'll be able to transform the region into a better place!
Features and Plugins

This error is familiar, but it should have been fixed in the last version. Could you try redownloading and unzipping the file using 7zip?

Hey there, I might've found a potential glitch, unless it is intentional. In the last battle of the act.

Also I want to say, great game, hoping there's more in the distant future!

Lumi got hit by Rapidash's fire spin and it did not trigger Lumi's ability, thus killing it.

Definitely a coding error! It should say a special message if he's hit by Fire Spin but it seems I messed up! Thanks for letting me know lol

Having completed the game, here are my thoughts

I very much enjoyed the game. The story was well paced for its length, it was an interesting approach to kind of scrap the randomized dungeon aspect (though that may have been a technical necessity) and all the little side quests around town and the way completing missions expanded the community really made the world feel real.

There are a few critiques though. In my opinion, a mystery dungeon game lives or dies on its story and there were a few issues I had. Arc and Simia never really had a conclusion to their story. While Emboar did get arrested, there's no indication of what happened with them at all.

Second, the final fight was improperly scripted. Having the battle system work like in the main series means that gameplay is slower than mystery dungeon. You're going to be around level 32 by that fight if you never bothered grinding much, and everyone else is faster and higher level than you. Every single turn there will be three attacks before yours along with all the dialogue that comes with them. This gets tiring, since the blaze duo and Emboar each take 3 hits if you have Sobbie keep rain dance up. There's no real strategy to this either. Just attack attack attack.

Third, reviver seeds. In a normal mystery dungeon game, they activate immediately from the bag, but here they're just revives with the property of berries. If you're not holding one, you have to burn a turn to activate one, and since you only have two pokemon, using one from the bag wastes your entire turn. There is no incentive to hold any item other than a reviver seed in this game.

At the end, Star in the Desert hinted there would be more to this setting and the foundations set by this game show that there is more to tell. Snubbul mentioned a dungeon we never went to. That eelektrik came from up in the mountains and stuck around for a while. We don't know why we were sent here in the first place. All of these questions can be answered in future installments and I eagerly await their development

Keep up the good work!
