Released Pokemon Edge of Reality (v2.08)

Hey guys! I just streamed this game on my Twitch channel, where you can watch the VOD! I really enjoyed the concept of this game! I think it's an unusual take to what we know about the world of Pokemon! And you're using some amazing characters that we don't get the chance to see that often and I think that's amazing! I can't wait to see more of this game as it develops into something huge!

Sadly, I do have to report some bugs that need squishing! Especially the two biggest ones that I ran into!
Pokemon Centers break the games

Healing with Nurse Joy in the first two towns caused a game crashing error that has left me unable to heal at all unless I just get completely KO'ed.

The next one that I ran into was the Pokedex! This one might not be as common of a problem, but I couldn't look at anything in the Pokedex without getting this error message that would cause the game to crash.


The final bug I ran into on my stream was I ran into a trainer that used an XSpecial that caused an error I sadly did not get a screenshot of. It was not game breaking, it would only skip the turn, but it's still an error worth mentioning.

I only made it to the second town before ending my stream when the Pokemon Center crashed on me. So far though, I absolutely love this game and I can't wait to get the chance to play through more of it in the near future!~

((I tried to post the pictures as pictures and not just imgur links, but I was told to contact the site administrator???))

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!

And I'll get on those bugs right away.
I dont know how, but I might've accidentally uploaded an earlier version to download because I specifically remember fixing those before, but I'll get a new link out asap nonetheless.

Spoiler: ???

Can somebody please tell me whats the password of that bookshelf in ??? ? i get that its Misty's favorite color but idk what it is i tried like 13 colors.

 

[Wiispeed03]

Alright! Thanks to everyone who played or reported bugs!
The new "Update" is out, which is basically the same game, just with crashes and bugs fixed, as well as a new party menu UI.
If you have the previous version your saves will work, just unzip the new version and start playing! No need to overwrite any folders because the games have the exact same name.

You can download the hot-fix Here!

There are 9, and they can all be viewed in a text file in the games documents.
The master ball is unreachable atm, but you may be able to travel back to that location at a later date...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Maor80]

Do you know how i could find mareep? Its seems mega amphrosh is batter than offical games since it can learn iron tail to by level up which help it counter ice and fairy type easier since he can learn more dragon type moves which helps since in real game its harder to have amprosh with dragon pulse or any dragon type move at all

 

[Renaem]

Just finished the demo and oh mai gad, this is way too good. I reaaaaaaaaaally enjoyed playing the demo.
I am now REALLY looking forward for the next demo.

Also remember that pokeball bug?? it keeps happening but automatically fixes itself when i restart the game idk if its from my PC or the game.

But seriously this game is way too good it deserves much more attention!

Yeah, the Caterpie is in Mestura Overlook. I think it was like a 15% encounter chance? But it's available in night and daytime, so just keep looking and hopefully you'll find it soon!
