Poggers! I'm very excited to play Shattered Light! Awesome work you guys! Really dig the gen 3 look as well! 16-20h too, that's crazy!

Could click "OK" and Grookey kept using Growl consecutively (without giving me a turn), repeating this error message, until Scorbunny's attack couldn't drop lower.

I'm currently uploading a new version that fixes this.

Nice! The game looks beautiful and very polished so far, can't wait to play!

Excited to try this!

The game has been updated to version 1.0.2 - I fixed a bug related to Overworld Encounters

Also a friendly reminder to toggle Overworld Encounters on in your settings (this was turned off by default)

The game is great so far, however, I'm sorry to say I ran into a bug, when a Pokemon wants to learn a new move the Pokemon is unable to actually learn it. I can hover over the moves but trying to press Enter or C does nothing, not even opening the dialogue regarding a new move. I don't know if this has been addressed yet but I figured I'd mention it.

This has been fixed in the newest update

Sorry for such a quick succession of updates, there are a lot of bugs being found haha.
I've updated the game to version 1.0.5.
Changes since 1.0.2:

Fixed where exiting the vending machine by clicking back would instead purchase a moo moo milk
Increased the obedience levels for trade and gift Pokémon (10 x the amount of badges you have + 1; that means if you have 1 badge pokemon up to level 30 obey you)
Fixed a small bug where Shaking Grass and similar phenomena could spawn on top of other events
Fixed a bug where the HM Emulator would not allow you to use Fly
A graphical bug caused by shadow pokémon made battles look really funky
The total play time on the trainer card and in the save screen did not match
The massage lady had some weird stuff happening to the message window arrows, these have been removed for now
The Gym mechanic in the Galvin City Gym could mess up events if you were standing in a specific location
The Egg Watch in the summary screen of an egg had some alignment issues
You can now no longer rename shadow pokémon from the party screen
Pokémon were unable to learn new moves if they had already 4 moves

Update time! There have been a few patches since the last update post, the game is currently on version 1.0.10.
Here's a list of changes since v1.0.5:

Fixed a crash that happened when you tried to fish
Added the version number in the bottom left of the title screen
Fixed a crash that would sometimes happen if you didn't have a "Plugins" folder
Some gift items had a typo, causing the game to crash
Resurfacing whilst diving was unable in certain cases (using the HM Emulator)
Fixed a minor text-related bug regarding the Dex Evaluation
Fixed a bunch of bugs and crashes regarding the ending of the plot (characters not looking the right way, items crashing the game and being able to duplicate specific Pokémon)
Fixed a bug where flying to a specific location would send you to the void
Fixed being unable to use Flash and Rock Smash using the HM Emulator
Fixed some Shadow Pokémon using their wrong sprite
Fixed a few tile errors

The Potion quest for the lady with the aching ankle in Smith City is broken for me, even when selecting a Potion the event continues as if I had exited the bag. (v1.0.10)

Edit: it worked after scrolling down in the menu and then selecting the Potion afterwards

JPA93 · Aug 14, 2022

Just completed the main game (in a little over 6 hours), wow! One of the prettiest gen 3 games I have ever seen, love the tiles you used and the overall aesthetic reminded me of some of the great gen 3 romhacks. Using the constantly changing weather to allow for such a massive variety of encounters on every route is really neat. All the QoL additions are very cool as well.

Having a few regional forms like in The Last Wish or fakemon instead of such a huge dex would have made the game even more exciting for me personally, but the Shadow Pokemon filled that role quite well.

The difficulty was just right for me (that Tauros in the first Gym tho), the level curve almost perfect throughout.

I expected a high quality game after The Last Wish(es), but it's hard to believe this was a Jam game and not one made over years of development. With the 8 gyms + E4, classic Pokemon storyline and overall polish it really felt like an official game. Y'all must have worked very hard to get it done, thank you!

Yo, how you've been doing guys? The game is looking phenomenal so far, looks like you've been improving a lot over your past entries.
I will post a full review once I'm done, but since you seem to be frequently updating this I thought I'd leave some bugs here: (one might be a softlock bug)

- Borad isnt interactable right after the bag event (before picking your starter)
- Some of the jingles, e.g. "caught pokemon" and "victory" are way louder compared to the rest of the SFX

Map connection error as shown in screenshot
Viewing Woopers unregistered entry and pressing right crashes the game
If you get to Smith city with no water mon, and get the badge, upon being given surf the boat vanishes. It seems like there's no water-type pokemon available or mons that can learn surf in the vincinity, so I am unable to progress further. Aggron can learn surf but it would take forever to catch an aron from the desert and get it to that level. EDIT: Helioptile CAN learn surf, I had forgotten about that. Still, it'd be better to have at least a wooper spawn in the desert.

Just started this game last evening.
So far, it's gorgeous and I am intrigued but I have a sprite lag? It's nowhere near the most horrendous I have experienced but it's still not ideal.

A strange thing happened to me.
I hooked a Mareanie with the Old Rod on Route 304 and caught it, but I didn't like its stats so I soft reset.
This is a normal practice for me to avoid wasting Pokeballs and money, and this was definitely NOT the first time I have done it in this game but when the game reloaded this time it was kinda broken. The menu was basic, my follower and Pokemon back sprites were gone, and front sprites were teeny tiny:

The lag I reported in the above post was gone and there was an option to toggle running in the options menu that was not there before.
The game was still playable, but I was worried and wanted my follower and back sprites back. I closed the game and re-opened it to see if this would fix it and now it crashes after I click past the title screen with the following error:

So now I can't play. What the hell happened? All I did was soft reset a Mareanie. Please tell me I can fix this.

UPDATE: Ok I extracted the game again and that fixed the problem but I still want to know what happened because it takes several hours for this game to extract and that's not fun.

Hi there, thanks for your post. There is this file in the Data folder called PluginScripts.rxdata that handles the pause menu, the sprite resizing, following pokemon etc.
What I believe is happening is when you hit F12 to soft reset it deletes this file causing these issues to appear. Instead of soft resetting using F12 it's recommended to just reopen the game instead.
We'll look for a fix and update the game as soon as all currently known bugs have been fixed.

The game has been updated to v1.0.12!
We are trying to slow down patches to give people more time to report bugs and to play the game without being interrupted by patch-updates, for that reason we will try our best to slow down our updates. If you do find any bugs please report them under this thread or on our discord. Until then, here's the current patchnotes (from v1.0.11 and v1.0.12):

Fixed a crash that would happen if you opened the pokedex if you were playing with any character that wasn't
Fixed several grammar issues (mostly capitalisation errors)
Fixed a bug regarding the Arcane City Gym where you could get stuck if you walked up on the right spot
Fixed the bug where your bag would select the wrong item
Fixed a crash that would occur randomly in Flimsy Cave caused by Phenomenon Encounters
Fixed several other crashes when warping / entering new locations
Made a temporary fix for playing on restricted networks / without internet*
Changed several Pokémon to now learn Cut (Pokémon that previously also learned Metal Claw) as well as gave the Timburr line access to Rock Smash
Fixed a minor tile error that allowed you to see the void
Fixed a text issue regarding the PokéSearch
You can now delete your save data by pressing the following button combination on the title screen: Ctrl + Down + X (Cancel Button)

* To play on offline mode (bypass the version checker in case of restricted network or if you don't have a direct internet connection) open the mkxp.json file in any text editor (Notepad works) and change the useHTTPLite value at the top from true > to > false
