Ice Cream Sand Witch

Reuploaded Spork UPDATES: -new custom shinies: two different custom shiny Vanillite lines made by me two different custom shiny Ponyta lines; one made by Punkeev and one made by me two different custom shiny G-Ponyta lines made by me custom shiny Swanna that matches canon shiny Ducklett + a different custom Ducklett line made by me custom shiny Dratini, Dragonair, and Mega Dragonite made by me that match Rainlove's shiny Dragonite -added third skin tone to Team Portal Agents -added Trainers to Molten Mountain and Hemola Swamp, as well as a few more in various other areas -the Shiny Stealing Scoundrel police case is now called "Got Your Nosepass" and the thief stole a Nosepass instead of a shiny Aerodactyl -team changes: Ashley's Ponyta/Rapidash is now shiny (the pink one) Uma: Delphox -> shiny Rapidash (the brown one; nickname Teio) the dentist's G-Rapidash is now shiny (the light one) Sushi's G-Rapidash is now shiny (the dark one) Quinn's Swanna is now shiny (the fully custom one) -added various overworld Pokemon interactions: Rick Gastly at Wonky Woods Crolea's Gothitelle and Nova's Gothitelle talking to each other at Crolea's birthday party all four shiny Hippopotas at Sea Star University for a hippo campus added the shiny Smoochum to Isaac's Secret Base both shiny Vanilluxe are now with the regular Vanilluxe at Crystal Castle Hope, Couragi's sister, gives you the Swampertite at Marvelous Marsh Belinda and Belladonna's Roserade talking to each other at their house -several Trainer classes now have naming themes: Hikers are named after mountains, Beauties are named after artists, Swimmers have water-related names, Fishermen have fish and fishing-related names, Hex Maniacs are named after witches, Aroma Ladies are named after flowers, Lasses are named after Eeveelutions, Maids have cleaning-related names, and Youngsters have names similar to Joey -Beauties' Pokemon are now sent out in Love Balls + Poke Ball on Trainer sprites updated by Punkeev to Love Ball -updated Dragonite's Pokedex pun since the previous one was about if Dragonite has a Mega Stone, which it does now -added text to more objects in Crystal Castle FIXES: -added missing music that was meant to play when you enter Mulder's arena -the Umbreon Sign now blocks Maid Charity at Crystal Caverns and Trickster Flora at Opaque Valley -if the player interacts with Eva from the left or right at Party City, they're now warped to in front of her to prevent the player being on the same tile as her Toxtricity or Scolipede when they're sent out during the concert -Martial Artist Honoka and Martial Artist Hina now have the correct Trainer sprite -some of the audience in Mulder's arena no longer look like they're standing over the railings instead of sitting behind them I hope you enjoyed being Rick Rolled! The new Pokemon interactions have been in and out of my mind for a while, some for up to a few months, so I decided to finally add them all. On the topic of Pokemon, here's some info about the new shinies: Vanillite lines: It's very surprising they didn't have custom shinies already, since I'm an ice cream sand witch. I made a chocolate one and a strawberry one, so together with the vanilla line, we have neapolitan ice cream! Ponyta lines: The regular Ponyta are based on Teio and Haru from Umamusume, and the Galarian Ponyta are based on Celestia and Luna from My Little Pony! Punkeev was the one who chose Teio! Ducklett lines: I noticed when scrolling through the Battlers folder that while the canon shiny Ducklett has vivid pink and purple colors, this for some reason doesn't carry over to the canon shiny Swanna, which barely looks different to regular Swanna. So I made a Swanna to match the canon shiny Ducklett, and also made another shiny line resembling Black Swan from HSR! Mega Dragonite: a forum member named Rainlove posted a shiny Dragonite in Creative Works a long time ago with permission for anyone to use, and I used it for Spork. I hope I did Rainlove's style justice with making a shiny Mega Dragonite with the same colors! I also made Dratini and Dragonair while I was at it. For Pokemon in Spork where an evolution has a custom shiny but the pre-evolution doesn't, I already had plans to eventually give the prevos shinies too, so Dragonite gets to be the first! Adding and changing Trainers the past few reuploads due to the third skin tone project, the new naming themes, and just wanting to add some to areas that didn't have many (or any) before, I learned how underused some Trainer classes were. The biggest surprises were Youngsters, Lasses, and Scientists. After the second Gym, I seem to have mostly forgotten about Youngsters and Lasses. And while there was an okay amount of male Scientists, there were only three female Scientists in the game, one for each skin tone. I hope with all the new adjustments I've done recently, it doesn't feel like any of them are underrepresented. While the third skin tone project is now complete as far as human Trainer classes go, there are still some non-Trainer NPCs to give them, and a different idea I had for Sea Stars: special effects to make them look more different from humans, like Ceolis does. We could try negative space, or seeing if there are any other cool techniques that could work, even if we can't find the one used for Ceolis. Unlike with Ceolis where the technique is on his entire sprite, I'd like to keep the other Sea Stars' outfits as they are now, as Palletite worked hard on them, so the effects would just cover areas like their faces, arms, etc. I'm not 100% sure on how it will turn out or how long it'll take, but I look forward to trying!

Reuploaded: -Ashley's Rapidash is now shiny (the pink one) -the dentist's G-Rapidash is now shiny (the light one) -Sushi's G-Rapidash is now shiny (the dark one) -Quinn's Swanna is now shiny (the fully custom one) -added third skin tone to Team Portal Agents

Glad you're able to play now, I hope you enjoy the game! This actually reminds me of something I've experienced. A few times when I've tried to open RPG Maker with other fangames, I've gotten a popup about how it's an older version of RPG Maker, and it wouldn't let me open it. My workaround was similar to yours, creating a new project file in a separate folder. It may be a different issue because I was trying to open in RPG Maker while you were trying to open the regular Game.exe, but since we had the same solution, I wonder if it could have a similar cause too.

Reuploaded Spork UPDATES: -new custom shinies: custom shiny Glaceon made by me custom shiny Corphish line made by me custom shiny Smoochum line made by me -added third skin tone for Gentlemen, Ace Trainers, Beauties, and Ladies -Hex Maniac skin tones now have different outfit colors, with one still Gen 6 and the others being the two different ZA outfit colors -update to Mulder's Earth Plate quest: added the two new Marvelous Marsh Trainers that were added last reupload, you now only need to beat one wrestler (but Mulder does acknowledge if you've beaten more), and they now all have unique names for their moves -the Floettite now has a quest instead of being found in the overworld: after obtaining the Mega Ring, go to Aretha's Gym and battle a new Trainer there (if you've already done Aretha's Gym before this reupload, you'll have to do the Trainer's initial battle first, as the Floettite battle is a rematch) -Couragi now has a party hat in Alumia's Gym (sprite made by Punkeev) -Kyle, a Couragi relative, has a cameo at Happy Hot Springs (sprite made by Punkeev) -added NPCs in the water at Bolaii Beach that give items (they're like new BCC volunteers) -Apple Acid updated to 90 power -updated the overworld Mega Stone graphic to Rejuvenation's new one in V14 -added a few Trainers -team changes: Dylan's Crawdaunt is now shiny Portal Agent Yuki: Froslass, Espathra -> shiny Jynx, shiny Glaceon -Fishermens' Pokemon are now sent out in Lure Balls -updated several Trainer sprites to have the Poke Ball they're holding match the ones they use in battle (Sushi, Belinda, Fisherman, Hex Maniac, Gentleman, and Pokemon Ranger) FIXES: -the correct Trainer sprites now pop up when wrestling Sire Quag and Whiskerweight for Mulder's Earth Plate quest -filled in white space for two Pokemon Ranger Trainer sprites' legs For the shinies, we've got two Ice-types and a Water-type to help cool you off this summer! Glaceon: resembles Glacia from the Hoenn Elite Four, since Glaceon's Japanese name is Glacia. I wonder why they didn't give Glacia a Glaceon in ORAS...either way, I'm really happy with how this one turned out! Corphish line: based on Atlantic/Chesapeake blue crabs. I made the sprites, but the inspiration was Punkeev's idea! It's not a 1:1 match to the real animal in terms of which body parts are which colors, I just went with the arrangement I thought looked the coolest Smoochum line: based on the Lochladies in Lake Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, since I saw a resemblance to Jynx! Punkeev's quote on the Smoochum: "This is so cute, I wanna feed it whole milk and watch tellytubies with it and give it jelly beans." As promised in the last post, we've also got third skin tones for more Trainer classes! Only Team Portal remains, which will be next reupload. New outfit color inspirations: Beauty: continuing the moth Pokemon theme, we had Volcarona and Frosmoth, and now we have Venomoth! Lady: the orange dress is from the orange on Regirock, since Regirock is a rapper in Spork! I thought about changing the other two Ladies to Regice and Registeel dresses to have a consistent theme, but I like their current colors Hex Maniac: they had three skin tones before, but now they also have three outfits! As mentioned further up, one of them keeps the Gen 6 colors, and the other two have the ZA colors Thanks to Punkeev for helping expand the Couragiverse in Spork! There are currently no special events tied to Kyle, he's just napping. But there may be more Couragi relatives and lore in the future!

Reuploaded: -new custom shiny Crawdaunt made by me -Dylan's Crawdaunt is now shiny -Apple Acid updated to 90 power -changed Poke Ball in Sushi's Trainer sprite to Dream Ball -changed Poke Ball in Belinda's Trainer sprite to Dusk Ball

The update is now out if you'd like to see if it works!

The update is very close to being finished, so I'll try to have it out sometime tomorrow for you! Hopefully you'll be able to play after the update

I compared our folders and you have everything, so there are no missing files. I just thought of something, if you try to open Game.exe with Run as Administrator, does that change anything?

Can you show a screenshot of what your game folder looks like? If redownloading didn't work, then it's probably not that some files didn't download properly, but we could check just in case. The only other thing I can think of is that you need to double click the Game.exe. Did you click on it once or twice? By the way, there will be a reupload soon (probably near the end of this week) if nothing else works and you'd like to try again then

Glad to hear Umira is working now! As far as differences, the only thing I can think of is that the tileset it uses is really big, so maybe Joiplay had a harder time loading everything

It seems like Joiplay isn't showing a lot of tiles on the map, this is what it would look like if everything was appearing correctly (minus the bucket and the two Meowstic, as those are postgame events): Unfortunately, I'm unable to assist with Joiplay-related issues as I don't have an Android phone to run Joiplay and don't know anything about how Joiplay itself works. You might be able to get more help by reaching out to the people that made Joiplay, if there's a way to contact them. I apologize for not being able to help.

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -the Party District is now connected to the Services District instead of the Residential District. Thanks to Enigma for mentioning that the district layout didn't match up with Spork's! SPORK UPDATES: -new custom shinies: custom shiny Emolga; collaboration between Punkeev and me custom shiny Cleffa line made by me custom shiny Bonsly line made by me custom shiny Mega Garchomp Z made by me -Natalie's Emolga is now shiny -added some instances of dialogue specific to different player characters (details further down the post) -new Christmas Slowking VS sprite made by Punkeev -added third skin tone for Hex Maniacs, Fishermen, Aroma Ladies, Pokemon Rangers, Swimmers, Maids, and some non-Trainer NPCs (nurses, Pokemart clerks, sailors, officers, and a few more) -added several new NPCs and Trainers in various places -Ace Trainers now have their XY appearance (they still have ace flag colors! credit to Kyle-Dove for the trainer sprites and aveontrainer for the overworld sprites) -added abilities Eelevate and Fire Mane; additionally, Mega Scolipede, Mega Staraptor, Mega Dragalge, and Mega Falinks now have their canon abilities -Eva now has different dialogue at the Battle Tower depending on whether you've listened to her song at Party City -when the Umbreon Sign blocks Trainers in water, Halves now has a floatie (sprite made by Punkeev) -the big Professor Oak in Wonky Woods is now Spork's shiny Quaxly -new pool in Isaac's Secret Base made by Punkeev -added shiny icons for (canon) shiny Clamperl line -added a nurse to Mt. Spoon SPORK FIXES: -added missing Mega Clefable and Mega Garchomp Z icons -can no longer walk through the torches at Happy Hot Springs -the Umbreon Sign now blocks Hex Maniac Valerie at Opaque Valley and Swimmer Takashi at Roundabout Rapids Info on the shinies Emolga: based on the scene aesthetic that gained popularity in the 2000s. Punkeev added the teeth and eyeliner, and I think it came out really cool! I don't have the reference on hand anymore, but the colors are from a fursona that Punkeev saw from a YouTube video Cleffa line: Ever since Mega Clefable debuted in Legends ZA, people have been comparing it to Pompompurin from Sanrio. I thought it would be cute to make Pompompurin shinies for the line! This did lead to a funny circumstance of Strawberry's Clefable being named Pompompurin, but not being the shiny because Strawberry has pink Pokemon Bonsly line: These are the Bonsly and Sudowoodo on Planet Disco, now available as shinies! For a couple years, I'd considered on and off making them regional variants (or planetary variants, in this case), but I don't think I would be very good at determining what a Pokemon's learnsets, abilities, etc. should be. I still wanted them to be obtainable, so I made them shinies! Mega Garchomp Z: While Gible up to the first Mega Garchomp are pineapples in the usual depicted colors, Mega Garchomp Z is a Florida special pineapple! Since Mega Garchomp Z's canon shiny is very different from the rest of the line's canon shinies, I wanted to try something a little different for our custom shiny too, and found this red and gray pineapple while doing research! Punkeev started the third skin tone project earlier this year, and I wanted to try some too! I was originally just going to dip my toes in this reupload with Hex Maniacs and Fishermen, and then do more in the future, but ended up having so much fun that I kept going until I ran out of steam! I might be able to complete all the Trainer classes next reupload! Ones that got their own hair and outfit colors: Aroma Lady: skirts and surrounding aromas are lavender Pokemon Ranger: following on their hair colors being based on aspects of nature, there's now white hair for clouds and light blue hair for ice Swimmer: swimwear and hair are based on Tentacruel and Wugtrio (you can't fully see the one in the first screenshot because she's in the water, but the white hair and eyes are from Wugtrio's nose, and then the hair tie and swimwear are red for the rest of Wugtrio) For the player character specific dialogue, at first I just had Cherry's in mind as a fun idea for her to have a line rapping about the players' outfits before the battle, and then just kept getting more ideas from there. They're small lines just meant to add a little flavor and don't add any new quests, similar to the extra line added last year if you play as Sierran and choose Staryu as your starter. Here's all the locations for the ones added this reupload. More will probably be added in the future! Frank: An Aroma Lady NPC in Cianosa City (both regular and idol, as it's about Frank's red hair) Sierran: When first speaking to Valentine Starmie (specifically regular Sierran, not idol, as the line is about Sierran's Staryu hair clip) Christmas Slowking: An NPC in Olidroll City's Pokemon Center Adventurer Cradily: A Pokemon Ranger NPC at Classic Park's ocean section Dreamer Musharna: Going into Darkrai's dreams Musical Corsola: a Swimmer at Bolaii Coastline if spoken to after battle Multiple: At the Rap Battle House, Cherry has a different line for every player character you can be at that point in the game (idol outfits obtained early from the Sylveon Sign are also accounted for). Holiday Pokemon will acknowledge if you're another Holiday Pokemon and skip the explanations on how they work. The Espurr in the Virima Hotel if you're Halloween Espurr or one of her Meowstic parents (or if you have Isabelle's Badge). Being in Cresselia's dream as Sierran (both regular and idol), Musical Corsola, Valentine Starmie, or Dreamer Musharna Following up on availability mentioned in the last post, I'll be away for a bit starting this Sunday, June 28. I'll see you when I can, and I hope you have a good summer despite how hot it is in a lot of places!

Draga would be Fluttershy

Reuploaded Spork UPDATES: -new custom shinies: custom shiny Nidoran lines (both male and female); Nidoran made by Punkeev and the rest made by me custom shiny Klink line made by me custom shiny Carnivine made by me custom shiny Quaxly line; collaboration between me and Punkeev custom shiny Mareanie line made by me (the canon ones are still in the game as well) seven custom shiny Carbink made by me -added a Secret Base for Isaac in Veyle -new Dreamer Musharna VS sprite made by Punkeev -new Couragi overworld sprite made by Punkeev -Punkeev updated shading for the Virima Hotel battle background -Mega Raichu X & Y now have their canon abilities (Electric Surge and No Guard respectively) -Sparkle and Sparxie, Nova's two Zoroark, appear at Silk Studio disguised as Nova when you're getting the elevator keys -team changes: Mulder's Nidoking is now shiny Belladonna's Arbok changed to shiny Nidoqueen (nickname Gallium) Portal Agent Rosanna now has both canon and custom shiny Mareanie/Toxapex Portal Agent Jasmine's Klink/Klinklang is now shiny Portal Agent Yoshi: Wailord -> shiny Carnivine -added a customshinies notepad file; they were already listed in evomethodsandotherchanges, but I figured they should get a notepad file of their own too -added a Nevermind option to Pokemon in Shiny Scouting in case of misclicks BUG FIXES: -choosing Relicanth as your starter no longer allows you to do the Glastrier and Spectrier quest immediately; Professor Mangrove's event page now checks for if you've become Champion before it checks for if you have a Relic Crown Before getting into the content of the reupload, I have a moving schedule update. The moving process will continue in late June and go into July. When that happens, I don't know when I'll next be able to work on Spork, so I'd like to do one more reupload before I become unavailable during that time. It will likely be a smaller reupload since that's just 2 1/2-3 weeks from now, and since I might want to take it easy for a couple days. Onto the reupload, first, here's some information on the new shinies! Nidoran lines: these are the Pride Month shinies I mentioned in April! The male Nidoran line has the gay male pride flag colors, and the female Nidoran line has the lesbian pride flag colors! The white line in the middle of the flags is represented as a stripe for the first two stages, and for Nidoking and Nidoqueen, the stripe expands to resemble an eye mask! Thanks to Enigma for the eye mask idea! Klink line: They're based on Time Gears from Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. The outer ring on Klinklang is green like the energy that surrounds the Time Gears. Carnivine: Similar to how Reborn's shiny Carnivine is based on Piranha Plants from Mario, Spork's shiny Carnivine resembles a Golden Piranha Plant! Quaxly line: Quaxly is Mario, Quaxwell is Luigi, and Quaquaval is Wario! Punkeev came up with the idea and added the moustache and mouth to Quaxly! We started working on these last reupload, but they got postponed to this one because I hesitated a bit with Quaquaval Wario. I hope it looks okay. It was a little bit of a challenge because in addition to Quaquaval having a pretty detailed design, there wasn't enough space below the beak to add the mouth. I kept Quaquaval's wavy patterns on the purple overalls because I figured they could be like Ws for Wario. Mareanie line: They're based on black treasure trees from the animated series Hanazuki: Full of Treasures, because of how similar they look to Mareanie! I also kept the canon shiny Mareanie and Toxapex because I like them a lot. Most of the shinies we've done so far have been for Pokemon whose shinies are extremely similar to the regular Pokemon, but Mareanie and Toxapex do have very distinct shinies, and I didn't want to remove them, so you can get both! Carbink: The Carbink from the Crystal Caverns puzzles are now available as shinies! I've been thinking about making them for a while, and Pride Month seems like a fitting time since there are seven of them and seven colors in a rainbow! Enigma made the original Carbink in the Crystal Caverns puzzles using a hue effect in RPG Maker. Punkeev had brought up the idea for a Secret Base for Isaac a few months ago, and Enigma suggested Veyle as the location. You can find Halves in front of a tree in the top left of the first Veyle map, and can follow Halves in to the Secret Base. I had a lot of fun making it! There are no quests or other big events tied to it, it's just a place to have fun little interactions with the furniture and Pokemon. In the distant future when the Serenity Seaside postgame house character interactions I mentioned in 2024 are finished (I've been working on them little by little across reuploads), this will be where you go to hang out with Isaac. The Couragi overworld sprite is based on a custom emote Punkeev commissioned a few years ago! Couragi has a corgi hoodie and I think it looks very cute! Happy Pride Month!
