Why game with new intriguing gimmick like this need to be short one. Thank you for this gonna try it later

TheDuoDesign · Aug 11, 2024

Not sure if this happens every time but the game has does this every single time I head into Route 4. The game is very fun so far!

Invatorzen · Aug 11, 2024

I really like this jam so far, gonna play it more after work. :D good job you guys!

Pros:

Music !!
Custom sprites
Awaken ring == "awakening", I really like the item name
EXP Share and early leftovers
Minigames! The computer one is interesting...
Music again (hit route 2 and got an encounter)
Encounters feel really fitting. Lotad near a lake/pond with lilypads :D

Cons:

Not looped music
Illegal mons (fought against a Lombre that was evolved too early)

Suggestions:

Introduce the awaken ring's mechanic earlier. Maybe in the battle against professor, or Dorin?
Honestly I don't know how but I missed the "Z" button for the awaken ring until about 30 minutes into the game. Maybe make it more noticeable? Like how the "TYPE/{TYPE}/{CURRENTPP/MAXPP}" box overlays on top? I don't really know >.<
Autorun option pleeeeeease :prayge:

Bug:
* After beating Dorin he said I should have something, but then walked off. A message indicating he gave the dex would be nice!

Hmm... I don't know why it doesn't show you having the dex since I do have a show text command? It should work in the update hopefully

Anyways can't bug test any more until really late tonight because of work so crossing my fingers nothing too bad shows up 'till then!

Very odd... We'll look into updating it and fixing it asap! What was in traceback.log?

Speaking of updating v1.1 is out! With bug fixes and fixes and other fixes and I think you get the jist. Please download it if you already have the game downloaded!

The error continues with version 1.1

Invatorzen · Aug 11, 2024

Will wait for v1.2's fixes, but am dying to continue :)

literally been thinking about this game all day at work lmaoo

Also to be clear, I did get the Pokédex I just don't think there was a message indicating it in v1.0, but I could have just totally missed it :)

WolfTaiko · Aug 12, 2024

What if I told you I now have the solution?

V1.2 Patch is out! Since it's only one map it's just a patch update!

Okay... I swearI'm not trying to spam on this thread haha. But V1.2 Patch is out!... For real this time!

It didn't actually like patch anything last time so if you downloaded it before redownload it! We'll try in the future to resolve screw-ups from being this annoying to deal with on your end!

Jona1 · Aug 12, 2024

Did the error say "Cannot find PLAYER.chr"? If so, that's intended. Just try opening the game again.

WolfTaiko · Aug 12, 2024

Version 1.3 is out! Some more minor bug fixes but if you've already started the game and have made it past the 1 hour mark you should be fine.

Softlock if you leave the left room in Dripstone Cave.
Dialogue fix for girl in Oilpond City.
Bucharyth Gym Guy doesn't properly check for flying types/levitating mons.

Jona1 · Aug 14, 2024

Yeah, that crash is intended. When the game crashes next open the game again and hit continue.

WolfTaiko · Aug 15, 2024

v1.4 is now out!! More various bufixes and crashes should not be fixed :D

TheDuoDesign · Aug 16, 2024

When you encounter a pokemon from your previous team, there is a chance that the pokemon doesn't appear and just stays on the black screen :[ Happened twice so far

TheDuoDesign · Aug 17, 2024

Okay now that I have finally finished it here are my thoughts. Obviously spoilers.

First off, the music is easily the best part. The other parts of the game is great but the music will stick with me. It made me one of Pavlov's dogs. It trained me to feel a certain way before even seeing what was happening.

Speaking of what was happening, the general atmosphere of the game is something I enjoy. It being a creepy game is a huge plus. I feel like there could have been some better storytelling for the creepy parts to really sale that aspect even more. The girl that appears in the lab when Dorin is going after Girafarig for instance, may not make any sense if you didn't go into her house or talk to the npc that mentions her. Unless I missed something, in the lab it should have talked more specifically about her and the Girafarig. Again just my 2 cents, others may disagree.

These are my highlights so I don't just leave a block of text here.
The protagonist being killed. Switching to the rival. SEEING YOUR OLD POKEMON IN THE WILD (peak mechanic). The feral pokemon looking different. Luca being "named" and that interaction with Dorin. The overall storytelling.

Things that I think just need minor tweaks to make it that much better.
Moves/Abilities that use berries need to be adjusted since there are no berries. Or just add berries.
Money is kind of an issue but not really. I would say if you weren't being conservative you could totally mess up your playthrough if you ran out of moolah.
The AI seems like it isn't too smart. Using yawn twice in a row. Using Fury Cutter only once and never following up with another.
Aegislash, the last boss, having tackle.

You guys are awesome and I really hope I get to see more games from you guys that have this vibe.

TheMentalOrder · Aug 20, 2024

I really enjoyed this game. One of my favorites of the Jam. It's basically a

[/SPOILER pokemon adventure gone wrong and it's very interesting how the rival becomes the MC after we die.]

Overall a very interesting game, I wish it got developed more after the Jam since the concept and the horror elements would have been quite interesting for a more lengthy game.
