Reading this brings back a lot of painful memories and a nice hot slice of Deja Vu because someone left me a message -JUST- like this once, except it was Rejuv being compared to Reborn. I'm not going sugar coat it. Versions 1-5 of Rejuv were extremely bad. Extreeeeemeeelllyyy bad. Version 6 was much better but it still had issues. A lot of stuff have been ironed out since then and with the release of version 9, I think Rejuv will be in a state where it's never been. A high quality game at all points. It took me a while to get there, but I have no regrets up to this point. Now, I've only played a little bit of Desolation. I will admit that the beginning was very similar to Rejuvenation's beginning. I will admit that it was a little off putting, but then I remembered that we all have to start somewhere. I've heard nothing but good things from Desolation. From the status bar, people talking about it in this thread (Which I do read occassionally. I just never post because I've never played Desolation myself... Which I do plan on doing eventually.) Does that mean it's perfect? Not in the slightest. In fact, I believe Rejuv had the same sort of treatment at the time, and we all know how that was. You may be asking, all right... where is Jan going with this... Well, basically, I don't want Caz to go through the same thing I had to go through when making Rejuv. This post was really harsh, rude and quite honestly... not very constructive... You still got your point across, but at the end of the day all you really did was potentially make someone feel terrible about themselves. You spit on their work, their baby, their ambition. It wasn't a very nice thing to do, and I know all you wanted to do was help... but this could've been done in a kinder, more constructive way... You have to remember that all we had when we made our games were a starter kit, our love for pokemon, and our dream to tell a story. That's all. I'm not saying your points are bogus, and I'm not saying that your feelings aren't valid, but you have to put yourself in the shoes of a solo dev and think about what they've done. Which is basically spend hours upon hours to provide you with a form of entertainment for nothing in return. And I'm not here to argue. I won't be replying to anything after this. I just wanted to say what was on my mind. #------ A message from me to @Caz: Regardless whether or not this post has affected you in the way posts like this have affected me, I want you to take this as inspiration. I want you to take this as motivation to prove that your game is what you care about and what you're passionate about. I applaud you for putting time into making Desolation, and I am proud of what you were able to accomplish. As a fellow game developer I know how much this project means to you. I know you'll have minimal time to work on this game in the future, but put everything you've got into making this now, while you still can. You won't regret any of it. I'll support you always! -Jan

This looks cool! The wings are fine as is imo. I'll be using the second one. Edit: Gen 2 is finally done!! Thank you all for your hard work yet again!
-
Released Skarmory. You have the option to create a new one or finish what Sarun started.
-
I'll be posting a status update about an hour before gen 3 goes up (Which won't be today), so if you follow me you'll be notified.
-
That'd be only entertaining for so long. Things will stagnate after a while. The feel of "I'm getting stronger' no longer applies which makes growth halt yada yada etc etc. Plus, adding more levels gives me a bit more room to work with in general. It'd become super boring for me after a while if there's no variety. ---- Also, quick question, and anyone can reply to this. Would you guys like it if I made Island Dexes instead of one big Region Dex? Basically the same as the Alolan Dex where there's a Melemele Dex, Akala dex, Ula Ula dex, and Poni dex. I think it'd be more organized this way and it'd be easier to figure out where Pokemon is in game. Of course, if this happens, I won't be doing it until way later. I just wanted to know what you all thought of that idea.
-
I think a simple color change is all that will be needed for Smeargle. This'll do for now. I'd give you more time but I really really really want to move on from gen 2. ---- @Sarun Last call for Skarmory.
-
Oh, that's a transparency error it seems. The white was erased because it happened to be 255 white.
-
pls. Yeah, I actually fixed this for all versions in V9. It was just the difficutly mode script automatically setting it to 90 when it shouldn't have. Yeah, Gen 7 halted progress quite a bit. It'll start moving again once it's done.
-
Okay cool, we can work with this: The mark is not the same resolution as the sprite. The sprite is in 2x, while the mark is in 1x. But I think we should forego the mark on Pupitar altogether. So let's take a look at Tyranitar. I agree that the orange is a little weird. I think it's because the brigtest shade is an entirely different kind of orange, It's moving towards the yellowish side. I decided to try and make purple its main color instead of orange, though. What do you think? Also nani the heck is on the side of this Smeargle. I literally thought it was a nipple at first.
-
Let's keep the dark orange to keep the sprite consistent.
-
No worries! You can try to do the cursed mark, but I think from the angle the sprite is in will make it difficult. I'm going with the first one btw!
-
Okie these are good. Also updated the credit for Mareep's line. I just forgot is all. Gotchu bb. Almost done with Gen 2!
-
I think it's something I'll have to do in post game. There's no way to keep it interesting otherwise. There's no real progression.
-
I'm putting gaps in between level caps to make sure we dont get to lv 100 before the end of the game. If that does become the case then I'll have to do some rebalancing or slow down the exp rate... I'm already planning to do that honestly if things get too out of control.
-
Mantine is pretty good so that's approved, though I don't know how I feel about Smeargle. I'd say to try something else with it. Approved!
-
It's funny because this is Talonflame's Pokedex entry. If Wingull are being replaced by Fletchling, that could only mean... oh dear. D E E P E S T L O R E
-
Thinking about replacing Wingull with it, yeah.
-
Yeah... no the Talonflame nerf is happening, unfortunately, and I do say unfortunately because Tesla has a Talonflame and arghh.
-
This... is REALLY cool... I'm super impressed. Nice job!!
-
If you change the blue spot on the back to green like on wooper's whisker then it'll be perfect. Wooper is approved.
-
Approved. Approved, and you can. It's just the 5th gen sprite. I'm sure you can find it onlive via spriters resource.
-
Let's go with the middle one. I think the colors are unique enough. ...Aesthetic.... Quagmire.... Well I uh. Didn't expect this tbh. As much as I appreciate V A P O R Q U A G, I think we're going to have to stick with rocky quag. Unfortunately, even though it's similar to Reborn's Quagsire, there aren't really many colors that go well with this Pokemon. So let's just keep that. Though I'm saving this sprite tbh. I really like the idea, but we could probably do without the Santa hat. That'll save you some sanity when it comes to making the backsprite anyway. The colors are really nice, tho. I like the colors used! Approved! Also heads up, I won't be commenting on the Togepi line submissions until later, but now that I have indeed seen them!
-
Mhm. Go for it.
-
Looks fine to me! Approved! Also yeah, the front sprites are gen 4, back are gen 5. Oh gosh. The honchcrow with the bowtie is great. Do you mind if I use those? Originally that wasn't the plan, but I don't see why not. It's better to do them all at once to keep sprites consistent. Approved!
