Released Pokémon Supernova

---

Welcome to Verdan Academy, a prestigious institution nestled deep within the Aldana region—where tradition, ambition, and mystery collide.

You’re one of the few students selected to join this year’s class, each member assigned to a dorm that shapes their path. Fate places you in Fennel Wing, the underdog dorm known more for misfits than prodigies. But as you'll soon discover, this year will be anything but ordinary.

Meet unforgettable classmates, build friendships, rivalries, and uncover strange rumors surrounding ancient ruins hidden throughout the campus grounds. With exploration programs reinstated after a mysterious suspension, something long buried begins to stir once more.

What secrets lie beneath the surface of Aldana? And why does it feel like you're being watched?

Your journey at Verdan Academy is about to begin—but not every lesson comes from a textbook.

(Some features are still a WIP)

School Life Simulation
You live the life of a student at Verdan Academy, forming relationships, attending events, and exploring the world beyond campus.
Interactions with other students (like Lara, Rei, Nina) affect story direction through an affinity system.


Narrative-Driven Progression
A branching storyline filled with secrets, ancient ruins, tension between factions, and moral choices.
Dialogue and event outcomes can change based on earlier choices, making the story reactive and immersive.


Enhanced Battle System
Battles are visually impressive thanks to Elite Battle: DX, with animated intros, battle UI upgrades.


Exploration & Side Quests
Explore areas like the Whispering Ruins, Glintgrove Way, and Mantia Island, each with its own story hooks and encounter tables.
Side quests flesh out characters and the world, including ruin investigations and hidden truths about Pokémon and the factions.


Relationship & Reputation System
Helping or ignoring characters affects your affinity with them, influencing both story and dialogue in subtle and meaningful ways.

Special Thanks
To all developers, spriters, coders, and contributors who continue to support the fan development community.


Thank You for Playing!


Thank you so much for playing this game! This project holds a special place for me, as it's the very first one that has made it past the planning stages and into something that you can actually experience. I truly appreciate your time and support as you explore the world I've created.


As this is my first real endeavor into game development, I must apologize for any rough edges or imperfections you may encounter along the way. I'm still learning , and your feedback is invaluable to me as I continue to improve and refine the experience.


I hope you enjoy the journey, and once again, thank you for being a part of it!

This project was originally created for the InsertName Game Jam of 2025.
Thank you to all the coordinators and players who made the event possible!​

The game is great so far! The only problem for me is that all of the tasks you have to do aren't documented. For example, when Lara calls you to enter the whispering forest, Mia also calls you to go to the gym. It's hard to remember what to do after you've done something else. A quest system would be nice, in my opinion.

Hey there, Sugomayea! Yes, indeed, I had this planned already. The Quest System plugin was installed; I just hadn’t taken the time to add the quests. This is important, since many quests have a deadline before they expire, and it can lead to the player missing out on some events. Thank you so much for reminding me!

Alright, thanks! I can't wait for the next updates!

Quick question: What am I supposed to do after I've fought the Alolan Marowak? I'm pretty sure I've done everything in the Tower.

It's the end of the demo. There is a sign that will show you the credits

 

[Sleepwalker2ndG]

I’ve been working non-stop on the next update, and I can barely wait to release it! I’m aiming to pack in as much content as possible, including a battle challenge to keep you busy until the following update. I really hope it lives up to your expectations.

Please take some rest to so you don't get burn out losing motivation and worse get sick

 

[Tomix9tomix]

Had a lot of fun with this, really the only negative is that I want more! A lot is set up in the demo and I want to see where the full game takes it. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best, school setting pokemon stories I've seen. I'm looking forward to growing closer with the rest of my dorm mates when the full game comes out.
