[Rebel]

Hopy shit is me

 

[Pi25]

Fun little game! The final boss was interesting, and I liked the little apricorn system. I would have preferred if the events and dialogue were a bit more put together, and I was left with questions with about certain things, but overall good job!

[Heliumpai]

Version 0.30.1 released! Here are the patch notes:

• Limited the overworld encounters to 12, i can edit it per map for larger maps or smaller maps
• Edited the title screen with no save file to say "Press Enter"
• The shop clerk first event is fixed
• Booksleves now have collusion
• The first aprill event is fixed
• You no longer turn white while running (hooray!)
• Opening the trainer card when you're not white no longer causes a crash (equality!)

 

[Altarax]

Hello, I blacked out against the weezing guys and my screen is stuck at black now.

 

[Heliumpai]

Version updated to v0.30.5! Here are the patch notes:

• Blacking out against the THE FOUR DIVAS no longer keeps the screen blacked out
• Mandy is given back to the player after blacking out
• Both dunsparces start with Run Away to make wild encounters less problematic

There are others bugs we are aware of such as:

• Several music issues
• Forest overlay remaining after blacking out in the forest

But they are minor issues and they are too complex to fix in a few days.

 

[Altarax]

Hello, your patch sucessfully fixed the bug and I managed to finish your game.
This is a very cute and original game.
Your cutscenes were very well executed.

Spoiler: My favorite moment of the game

I wanted to put a special mention for the moment where the player takes his bedsheet to make one of his Dunsparce a Ghost type. It's a very well thought idea to help the player diversify the team composed of two Dunsparce. But more importantly, it was soooooo cute
Seeing my Ghost Dusparce with a custom battle sprite got me haha

The benches to heal the player and reduce useless backtracking to Pokémon Center is a nice idea.

The main force of the game is the dynamism some NPC have.
I especially loved the part of the game at the school hall where each NPC interacted with eachother and you needed to figure out how to use these interactions to progress through the game. I know you tried to do something similar later in the game with the lady sleeping at the Inn's counter, but I would've absolutely loved seeing more of game sequences like this.

Here are some problems I noted:

Spoiler: Mapping

I can see the forest's border if I go to the north.

Spoiler: Gameplay

The Apricon guy idea is a nice one, but my niptick is that I never really needed to buy anything from him to be able to beat the game.

Spoiler: Bugs

• Not sure if it's intended or not, but the old man at the start gives me infinite berries.
• Very minor, but the Engineer is never removed from the location where you battle him, which makes his speech incoherent with what happened in his city.

You guys did a good job with the game. I wished it could've been a little bit longer.
From what I saw a new city is already mapped, but currentely inaccessible. So, I will be looking forward to a new update which could permit me to play through this section.
