We'll do something else with this game later, but not yet.

...can't give away super secret info :no_mouth::no_mouth::no_mouth:

ok but one more thing

if i die by the explosion my pokemon in the pc will be safe for hate or not? because the explosion can only kill my party not the pc right? <:c

Mashirosakura · Aug 23, 2017

Nothing will be harmed there yes.

quentix · Aug 25, 2017

thanks ^^

The game is cool but it is just a bit too unbalanced especially the Sharpedo boss with Recover, Cosmic Power, Counter and Mirror Coat. To add injury to the insult you have to face Jin after than with the OP Dragon Eeveelution with no healing options in between.

EDIT: Nevermind, I used Luxio to defeat Sharpedo by spamming Leer and Spark. After that it was quite an easy battle.

We were already talking about nerfing that battle a little, so we figured now was as good a time as any.

Updated the link to both tune down Sharfeeto and to have the party heal between battles, among a few other minor changes.

It's more helpful to explain what irked you than to just say that something irked you, pal. If you've got some constructive criticism but you think it's a spoiler, just use the spoiler tag, aight?

remove the spaces, and you've got a nice little spoiler tag

i caught Pistoff at the pond near town and the cops jumped me, spent 2 pokeballs for nothing, it's funny but it also irked me.

hey, i did it! thank you! spoiler in this reply, sorry about that.

ok, posting again because i've gotten so much further last night, and tbh i am already craving a FakeDex/Evolution guide for Edge Rising...

now i dont say the same for Attack on the Space Station, since there is only a handful of them in the game, but in Edge Rising there is 25+ Fakemon, which include

alternate Evolutions and Forms, with as many as there is now, not including the future DLC (which i will totally playthrough the game again in completion mode)

there needs to be a guide so that we all can see/obtain these fakemon... so whether this is done later when the DLC comes out, or as a reply to this comment...

i would very much appreciate a guide... because

i had NO idea that my Squirro was going to change form at the blood lake and grow super strong compared to his default form, which with no Evolution, it helps very much to change it's form asap, or it will be too weak later on.

as a pokemaniac, i really need a guide or i'll go cuckoo for cocoa puffs. :P

Actually,

He permanently goes to blood form at level 20.

But I'd be more than happy to make a fakemon guide later if people want that!

oh? well i thought

he only changed form at Blood Lake, because he didnt change form until i fished and fought at the blood lake, and i am pretty sure he was level 20 BEFORE that point... hmm, may need to test that for myself, just to make sure it is working correctly.

and yes please, make a evo guide, i would've just looked at the pokemon.txt, but you seem to have encrypted the altered file. :P

oh and i wanted to point out something

there are supposed to be no TMs, but the game corner at Blackheart City says otherwise.

did you guys forget to remove that? or did you leave it in intentionally? i'm fine with it either way really, just wanted to point that out.

Mak · Sep 11, 2017

Squirro's ability functions identically to Schooling, in that he changes form after a certain level, and reverts when his HP goes below a certain point.

Forgot about the game corner TMs, but oh well. I wouldn't consider it a maingame thing.

A fakemon guide would probably be useful. Maybe I could make a wiki or something.

ah, that would explain why

Squirro transformed back when getting low HP and then when i went to the PKMN Center it was back next battle.

a Wiki would be just fine, i just want to see what all was created.

the Eons in this game are really cool.

TheGamingPaladin · Sep 12, 2017

thank you Mashirosakura, that was incredibly helpful, i will be sure to use that pastebin well.

cant wait for the DLC, as i love Rotom and Gengar, two bad to the bone Ghost Types.

TheGamingPaladin · Sep 14, 2017

ok, i finished Edge Rising, and here are my likes and dislikes about the game before i give my final rating.

The Good
-------------------------------------------------

Lots of Cool Fakemon - with well-made sprites i may add.

Storyline was really good overall, it was Edgy in a way to parody that kind of game, but it was more interesting than for just that reason, very deep.

Challenge never falters - the difficulty never lets up, you are always tested since you dont have TMs or HMs like Fly or Surf to abuse, so you have to make due with what you can learn through level ups.

The Bad
--------------------------------------------------

Unbalanced Audio - i cannot tell you how common i see this issue, like none of the music is adjusted for volume and it is stuck in as is, this i cannot accept as excuseable, even in a project with a short deadline, it would only take a few mins to calibrate the audio so nobody suffers, especially headphone users like myself.... ouch! >_<

Fang Dies and Surviving Pokemon Disobey - may be a bug in the game for all i know, but my hopes of replacing members of Bro's/Hate's Team were dashed when they would not obey my commands.

you cannot catch and raise Pistoff, thanks to the Gun Control posts keeping you from using it by mugging you and taking it away.

Moral Choices Don't Matter in game - i feel that the player's choices affecting the game would be great to keep things going, but overall killing someone just nets more Pokedollars, no "Undertale" style story interaction makes it feel pointless NOT to kill everyone... especially after killing Eulb 3 times and he STILL comes back...

-----------------------------------------------------

Copy of Fang is created when you meet Red, nothing major as it disappears when you leave, but its there so i am reporting it.

Aborting an Eevee Egg gives you a lv 20 Spectreon - i got 3 eggs to complete my Eeveelution collection and instead of taking my Lv 1 Eevee cub, it aborted one of my unhatched Eevee eggs instead, dunno if Spectreon would always emerge as level 20 but you may want to fix the exception of Eevee eggs from the event.

all in all, i enjoyed the game and i will play again with the DLC, but with the lack of consequnces for killing (or reward for abstaining...) it really hinders the replay value of this project.

nonetheless, i give it a 8/10, regardless of my personal gripes.

Mak · Sep 14, 2017

Unbalanced audio is definitely an issue. I usually either listened on low volume or speakers so I didn't find it troublesome, but there have been complaints of it.

Fang's surviving mons acting up is not an intended thing. Oops. I'll try to get that fixed as soon as I can.

Pistoff can be smuggled past the guards through a variety of ways, all of which require a sort of abuse of the game mechanics. His usefulness is definitely limited. I mean, it has a guaranteed OHKO, we can't let that just run amok, frankly.

Killing having no consequences is part of the joke. Having murder be the most rewarding choice makes the MC a more blatant hypocrite.

The multiple Fang bug is present in multiple areas due to a bunch of event changes we did late in development. We fixed a few but didn't get them all before the deadline.

The Eevee thing is because of how we handled the event, we didn't really account for eggs. We may end up overhauling later on.
