2022 Update FAQ:

Spoiler

What's new?

Spoiler

- Well, the big thing is that there's a postgame now. There's uh...not a lot I could do with it, admittedly, since the game's world is kind of destroyed by the end of the main game. I did my best to create new content without having to make a ton of new areas.
- There's a properly organised Pokédex now. Speaking of, there's like, 8 new Pokémon lines. They're all really cool, Mak did great on their designs. There's also a couple of new evolutions of existing mons.
- The dex is now a grand total of 124 Pokémon. You can see more info about them by copying the link to the spreadsheet in the "_Credits" file of the main folder.
- A lot of sprites have been redone, such as Pistoff, Pillost, Eggception, Spectreon and many more have either received touch ups or full resprites.
- The same applies to backsprites, a lot of work went into them to make them all consistent.

Can I use my old save?
- Due to all the changes made, not only by the engine but by my optimisations, old save files would probably break somewhere, so it isn't recommended.
- It's also a 5 year old game, so playing through and refreshing your memory could be cool...

Is the game harder?
- I've tried my best to rebalance the game to make the experience as smooth as possible, and will continue trying to do so unless the general opinion tells me otherwise.
- I've rebalanced a lot of Edgemon stats and movesets, so the experience may not be exactly what it was 5 years ago.
- Early game has and probably been the hardest to balance. There's not really enough time to give players specific counters early on, but you can probably brute force it a lot with Mankey and Gorelett? If you didn't start with Riolu anyway.
- I haven't tested specific team comps so it's all a little subjective, but I look forward to hearing feedback!

Is there any new features?
- Well, there's no haunted mansion DLC, but there is a battle tower-esque building in its place I've dubbed the Belltower. Test your wits against tough opponents for a chance to win fabulous prizes! (Postgame only)
- A couple of new moves exist, like a Fury Swipes clone that's flying type, or a signature move that fires a button. I hope you'll try out all sorts of team members in the Belltower to see what's new!
- Speaking of trying out team members, there's a gauntlet at the end of the game, for those daring enough to try. Once postgame is complete, take a trip to the Blood Lake...

Where is (x)?
- Move Relearner is in Blackheart City Game Corner (regardless of time period).
- Silvally discs are also sold in the Game Corner.
- Stone vendors are in Eerie City in postgame.
- Once postgame is complete, you can get Rare Candies infinitely at the Belltower.

Hey, I just downloaded this game - I saw a video on it and thought it look like a fun ride. The game starts up fine, but fonts aren't showing up even though I downloaded all of them? They're in the same folder and everything. Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, I don't know if it belongs here, but I really don't know why it isn't working properly. Cheers!

In order to install the fonts, you have to go to the control panel, the Appearance/Personalization folder, and then to the fonts folder. You have to drag the fonts from the Edge Rising folder into there.
If you did that, than I'm not sure what is causing it to not work. But the game is completely playable without the proper fonts, so if for some reason they aren't able to work on your computer, you can stil play the game fine.

I don't know if this has already been pointed out, but I've been playing the game for about half an hour now, and I've noticed a few bugs/issues. Their impact is negligible, but I saw a streamer play this game and they didn't experience either of these:

The rain effect severely reduces framerate
Some textures, like around trees, has a weird break effect.

I don't have video of the rain issue, but I did take some screenshots of the weird texture issue. It seems to only effect trees from what I've seen?

The rain issue happens on slower computers, unfortunately. The engine isn't super optimized. This also extends to the tree issue. It only occurs when the game is fullscreen, and we can't do anything about either without massive code overhauls.

Ah I see. I'm not in fullscreen, but I am using the large window size. My computer is pretty good, it's a fairly new alienware laptop, but maybe something else is using up my CPU and causing the framerate issue then. Like I said though, that's pretty negligible, so I can just ignore it.

easy fix, just double click each font file and install them one at a time, this will allow you to play the game with those fonts, and you wont have to install them in future games, unless they are entirely different.

Did you install the fonts in control panel?

How long is this game? like an estimate?

 

[Rhyden]

How long is this game? like an estimate?

It's about 4-6 hours depending on how much you actually read and how much you explore. Source: I played it all the way through.

Thanks very much for your reply, I reinstalled the fonts and now the dialogue boxes actually have words. Very excited to play this!------------------------One other question - not related to a bug. Is the shiny rate encounter more probable in this game? I've caught two shinies and I've only been playing since yesterday. I mean, it's baller, I'm just wondering.

Yeah, shinies are a little less than 1%. We figured since it wasn't that long of a game we didn't have anything to lose by making them more common.

Great game, I really enjoyed it and finished it. Some of the Fakemon's cries made me spit out my coffee so you might owe me a new keyboard if this one fails due to that. I also liked how Fang gets progressively "better" over the course of the game, which furthers my statement in the spoiler.

Spoiler: Kind of spoilers about the ending

Ending left me feeling a bit bummed out though, and like I put in a bunch of effort for no reason considering you don't finish the game with your own pokemon, or even with your own character. Also feel like the story and characters were leading somewhere, but suddenly stopped midway.

I wonder what Yahn Deer will do with her life now?

 

[JagGentlemann]

Hi, I enjoyed the game a lot, but I have a question about the end, since it seems I can't finish the game.

Spoiler

When I'm playing as Hate, when I encounter Red, we are about to battle, and then Red kills me, giving me a Game Over. Can I evade his attack? How? I tried pressing all the buttons. If the game ends here, it's pretty disappointing

The latest version should have a fix for that bug. Did you install it? If so, I'm not sure why its still happening.

 

[JagGentlemann]

I probably don't have the lastest version, thank you.

Edit: It works, although

Spoiler

my trainer sprite in battle is Fang instead for Hate.

Really good game, very funny.

 

[WhisperGhost]

I'm not sure if this has already been asked, and my apologies if it has, but does the plot change at all if you don't kill people? And if it does how vastly does it differ from the average playthrough/ genocide playthrough? Just curious, thank you for your time

Nope. This game was all about being inconsistent, ironic, and kind of satirizing the pointlessness of so-called "moral choices" in other fangames. There's only one ending. If you liked the writing in this game, however, you might be willing to try out my other project - Banette and Guilmon.

Thanks for playing, nonetheless!

Ah, I see. I'll be sure to check out your other game, the writing in this one was great. Thanks

Hi, i just wanted to say two things;

1- Thank you for making this game, it's so fun! Even after watching a let's play there's so much to find and see!

2- I found this, is it a map error or some kind of secret?

Well if I remember correctly, there's a couple Master Balls there plus a TM for V-Create.
