I entered the gym after the keycard event, but once I headed back out, the event reset itself and now I can't get back inside. Was this intentional?

Can you send a screenshot of where you were, so I know the event you're talking about and which area

 

[JJSponge120]

Can you send a screenshot of where you were, so I know the event you're talking about and which area

Sure. It's in the forest area. When I exited the gym, the man asking for a keycard is still there and blocks the entrance.

 

[CrimsonTy]

Sure. It's in the grasslands area. When I exited the gym, the man asking for a keycard is still there and blocks the entrance.

Small correction: That's the forest

Also, new update should fix this issue

 

[JustLenny]

What is left for you to consider this game complete (besides bug fixes/new features)? I've been looking at it and might have a play, but since I read it's not 100% done, I don't know if it's worth the wait. Thanks

 

[filiberto27]

I checked it out and was thinking about giving it a try, but after reading that development is still ongoing, I'm not sure whether it's worth my time.

Might as well answer both of these questions

I'm not sure when I'll get to finishing with this as I want to work on my main project (and that might be a long awhile). I'd say play until the game tells you its done, and just wait from there as I'll probably not add anything on the areas currently made (besides bug fixes of course).

As for what I'd consider complete, finishing the story and adding additional sections with more Pokemon. (Again that might be awhile)

Good to know. Thanks for the answer.

I was defeated by Brawly's Heracross (first gym), and the game froze...

no no it's really the first gym. I was in the grasslands, beat the keycard master and then head to the gym. I did'nt go further grasslands.
EDIT: my level cap was 13

Did you leave and go back into the Gym? Cause Brawly is in the 2nd Gym and none of the warps send you to the 2nd Gym
I did however find that leaving Gym 1 send you to the forest section (which will be in v1.3)

 

[Boony62]

Yes i left and went back. Don't remember why though.

 

[CrimsonTy]

Yes i left and went back. Don't remember why though.

Well, now that's been fixed. Not sure what do to about your save though, the level cap will be the level cap of the previous area.
You might have to restart.

 

[Boony62]

no problem

 

[LilyInTheWater]

Is there a guide somewhere about which pokemon you can catch?

There is now, as well as a bug fix

By the way, what are the shiny odds in the game? I ran into a shiny Nacli in the cave.

1/100
This also applies to PokeRus (which is useless because EVs don't exist)

Also congrats on the shiny!
