Hi, love the idea and I love playing it but I stumbled upon some bug (or maybe I set up something wrong). I downloaded your game and put resource folder into graphics, I guess this is correct way?

My problem is that when I enter cave it doesn't load... I can see other trainer but can't see map it's just blank, and when I defeated first gym my character became invisible?

Thanks

Resource Folder is just for game devs if they want to use anything I've made in the game, which is also why the cave broke

For that last remark, I don't know what happened there, the invisible thing only happened upon entering which was fixed

 

[brutes7]

Thanks for your answer and help! Amazing work btw :)

 

[Icemage22]

I was told by one of the guards in the castle to go look for the queen (and that I have permission to enter her garden), so I went there right away - but when I try talking to this person in the garden (who I'm guessing is the queen?). nothing happens, no matter which side I try to approach her from. Could you somebody please help if I'm missing something that needs to be done first, or is this just a bug or something which I would need to wait for a fix for until I can proceed? Thank you in advance to whoever will try to help me.

Oversight on my part, the starting event (at the beginning bushes) was 3 tiles tall instead of 3 tiles wide
You'll want to walk back here (don't go on the 2 tiles above it)

Okay, good to know - it started now, thank you!

 

[TheFabledOne]

was a speed up ever added + was the randomizer (for abilities) ever added as well?

No as the Relic Castle's Game Jam rules prevent me from adding new content until Judging is over
While Judging is over, there's still the Community Spotlight and that ends on the 12th

 

[TheFabledOne]

I'd love to see a discord for this place. Also, Topher's initial position stays as if hes still there (but cant talk to him) after defeating him for his dungeon pass, and also the ultimate repel only is able to be used once and for...well, very few steps.

 

[TheFabledOne]

When clicking the rock by pokecenter in the area where theres a town after you defeat a gym, it gives an event error that crashes the game.

I think I know what's going on with Topher and there is a Discord, it was for Crystal Unova but now it for all my games. Just haven't changed it

As for the Ultimate Repel, that's intentional.

When clicking the rock by pokecenter in the area where theres a town after you defeat a gym, it gives an event error that crashes the game.

Can you show me the error?

 

[TheFabledOne]

it didn't happen again, probably was because I was speeding up the game then but it was an event error. For the rock by the pokecenter that has a thunderstone.

Could you tell me which area this is?

Never mind, I have found it. The game crashed because I misspelled Leaf Stone as Grass Stone

After I obtained the Red Flute in the Swamp - Cave area, I decided to go back into the chamber where the door leading to the flute was found and ended up softlocking at the entrance because the player took a step back and got stuck inside the wall.
