Gallade is where you first met him, I'll make the entrance to there more visible with the next update.

I'm having trouble with the sound when starting the game. How do I fix it

After the intro scene, you can change the volume settings in the settings part of the menu which is opened from Z.

 

[Altarax]

Hello, I finished your game.
It was a pretty solid game and a good experience overall. Would recommend to anyone interested on Pokémon Dungeon-like games.
It took me around 5 hours to beat it and I didn't encounter any crash.

Here is a little review about some aspects of the game:

Spoiler: Gameplay

Positives:

• I liked the "mini games" you tried to put in some of the maps such as that hide and seek game with the selfless tribe at the start or the wind pushing you at the Desert.
• The gameplay loop was nice also. I hadn't got any difficulties beating the different boss despite the fact that I only had two Pokémon on my team. The only hardest for me was the Mega Houndoom, but you give enough tools to beat it (that Choice Scarf helped me particulary :)).
• I loved the fact that the exploration rewarded you with powerful TMs.

Negatives:

• The biggest issue for me is the last dungeon taking forever to finish. I think it took me 30 minutes which is like 10% of my playtrough and I needed to interact with the Pidgeot 15 or 20 times to advance. I think the game could be nicer if the required number of interactions is reduced because I found that it wasn't much interesting exploring the procedural generated maps. And also, it was very hard to flee the half of the battles despite me being clearly overleveled.
• I think the game could be made more fun by putting a fast travel system at some point, because backtracking to all the tribes after the mountain peak sequence is a little bit tedious.

Spoiler: Mapping

The maps are overall very nice and we have a good diversity on the biomes we explore.
The starting village town felt a little bit empty for me though.

Spoiler: Story

I liked your writing and the way the story unfolded overall.
Using mystery dungeon music helped also making the story immersive :)

Spoiler: Polishing

The game lacks a little bit of polishing in my opinion. A lot of NPC Pokémon don't have any dialogues (especially at the start, I feels like it gets better the more I advanced in the game). and I couldn't enter inside houses (but I guess it was because the jam time constraints).
Also, in most of the cutscenes, Pokémon dissappear instantly instead of walking away, which removes a little bit of immersion.

Spoiler: Bugs

• Some of the stairs in the Selfless Pokémon's den occasionnaly freeze the game.
• Defog cannot be used in overworld.
• On your way to the bugs tribe, one of the tree tiles is above the bridge tile.
• Not sure if it was intentionnal, but I can finish the game without even encountering Quagsire and Sharpedo.
• Some triple battles become simple battle if I only have one Pokémon alive.

That doesn’t work I have it at 100 and it’s not working

 

[MrLua]

No sound when i open it either, or at any point of the game for that matter.

 

[Shadow56bomb]

The only other thing I can think of is that you turned off the sound for RPG Maker XP games on your computer's settings.

Nevermind, I forget to add the audio folder into that version, if you get the new version of the game, it should have sound now.

Hey! Sorry, but many of the skover at the start randomly stops moving and make it impossible to progress. Am I doing something wrong?

From what I've seen, saving and reloading the game there does that.

Ah I see, thank you then ^^
