I thought that was another pirate thing before reading the text..you can't deny the smiliratities ;x

Also, please, for all that you hold dear, tell me that little shaded part above her boot is just skin shading and not a sock

It's supposed to be leggings, but it's just sketched that way.

[Masquerain]

All is right with the universe then

[Dylanrockin]

So, here is Marissa's Verdant Attire in full color :3 And yes, it is a beast-like as you would imagine, mainly due to the other "half" of her Verdant Soul.

These Transformations will not appear in this game, and will only be in the 2nd game, which will be out... whenever XD

Also, I wanted to make note that I won't be as active for the next couple of weeks. Mainly because of Pokken Tournament occupying my time. I was one of few people who managed to obtain an early review copy of the game, and from what I can say about the Wii U version, for those of you who played the Arcade Version of the game, that Gengar was SUPER nerfed. I managed to play the Arcade Version when I was visiting Japan back in December during Christmas Vacation, and around that time Gengar was super good. Now he's been nerfed in the Wii U version and I am much sad ;w;

Complete version definitely looks superior to the sketch

Sadlyf, I can't find it in me to have an interest in pokken but wellp

It does, yeah. It's a shame that the other characters Verdant Forms don't appear in this game, though.

Pokken is awesome! I wish I could go back to Japan and play the Arcade Version again. I probably spent like... 30 or so hours playing the Arcade Version and my Bana Card was used like crazy.

I made it up to the Red League in Pokken Tournament Wii U, before I had to send my review copy back. Maybe in it's full release I can get up to the Chroma league, and 100% the damn game XD

As long as Vivian bias/10, walk away, nuffin to see here

Yea I imagine it'd be fun to kill some time but I'd never devote too much on it I guess, was never a huge fan of smash bros either, but i'd kill some hours with it anyway. I can understand people's hype though, since most of my friends were obsessed with smash bros too

The bias is strong with this one.

I'm going to be spending a lot of time with Pokken, since it was something that I've wanted since I was a little kid; so it has a lot of sentimental value for me. Getting the opportunity to play it early was an honor, and I kinda got bored with Smash because of the "sameness" in the combo's when playing online. That and I prefer to play as whoever I like playing as, and not being grounded to a tier list. I'm going to implement that into my play-style for Pokken as well.

[Dylanrockin]

So, a little update... I've been playing Pokken... and that is all. XD But no seriously, I've been playing a lot of Pokken for the past while, and it's phenomenal! If you haven't already played it, you should!

But, I've gotten some progress for my game done, and I'm going to be a little... slow on development, because Pokken came out ;w; Competitive play has been a blast so far!

Also, I'm going to be adding new skit faces to the game, and I will be also adding in some new animations! New Verdant Artes will be finished and they will be glorious!

Your update is outdated by the previous update about lack of updates!

I am free though, though I feel mentally dead

Well, here's an update. I got stuff done, even though I spent all night Pokken'ing all night XD I got several new events inserted into the game, and I'm going to finish up the Namira Village arc of the game, which has been the bane of my existence for some time now.

You're free? Free from what?

[Masquerain]

Exams, naturally

I hope you didnt forget to include sleep somewhere there

[Dylanrockin]

Sooooo, here is an update, for once XD I finally got some free time from Pokken, and I finished a couple new maps for the northern continent of the game. These 2 areas are some of my favorites, mainly because of the new setting that isn't grassy or lush. Instead it's snowy and quite romantic in a way. These 2 screenshots will be detailing Glaciem Town, and Pruinae Garden.

[Commander]

Can I just say that those windows are some of the most beautiful graphics I've seen in a Pokemon game. No, I'm dead serious about that.

[Masquerain]

Are these stained glass windows? Purty D: Snow <3

I'm glad you like them! I think they work nicely with this specific town, except for that they don't have snow on the tops of the roofs. Which, can be easily remedied.

Are these stained glass windows? Purty D: Snow <3

They are indeed stained glass And this is probably my favorite town in the game, mainly because it's snow, and it's not so freaking green and lush. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that I've seen way too much of that in my game :L

[Masquerain]

Thas for sure indeed. Snowy towns with old-design buildings and glass-stained windows give that feel of mystery and antique

NEW VERDANT ARTE!

Thanks to an awesome someone, by the name of Nova, I managed to receive some help in regards to some custom animations for my game. These same animations are what will be providing several new Verdant Artes. I spent the past 2 days programming this Verdant Arte, as well as animating the attack. Most of the time was spent animating, and the programming that I did was mainly for the battle scene with the cut-in and the Verdant Arte message.

This one didn't take me nearly as long to make, as say... Renegade Strike, which took a literal day to make.

This is Krista's Gardevoir's Divine Judgement attack. The same dealio applies here for this attack as Renegade Strike did, for Vivian.

Also, here is the reference to which Tales game it came from; but if you know me, it won't take you too long to figure out where this attack was inspired from XD Zelos will show you what he can do, when gets serious.

Here is the Renegade Strike Verdant Arte if anyone is curious.

Don't know if you need any more window compliments, but those stained glass windows are purrrty ~ Also the new Verdant Arte is great.

Ominous switch back to Vivian at the end, Rip Krista.

They are very purty, indeed I'm glad you like the Verdant Arte, but, I'm gonna be refining it a bit more and adding some more details to the animation scene, soon.

Also, side-update.

Very soon, I'm going to be creating a new menu for Abilities, which will allow you to turn on or off Abilities at will. However, there are key abilities that cannot be turned off, no matter what, such as Krista's healing, or Marissa's jumping, and Vivian's Shadow Sneak and Increased running speed.

[Pandalex12]

So I went and replayed Tales of Symphonia on Mania difficulty. Didn't get very far ;-;

(So rusty)

After trying to begin training in my sprite making skills, I have come to admire all the art more.

Character Update Time

SO. I spent the past several hours having a heart attack in regards to EBS and it having several noMethodErrors involving throwing Poke Balls at Pokemon :L Which I never even noticed, until JUST yesterday when I was testing out the new fixes for Synchronize. But, I managed to fix it, and at the same time made another problem arise. That problem is in the form of gaining exp after catching a Pokemon. So, until there is a fix for that, catching Pokemon does not yield EXP anymore.

That said, here is some artwork for a new character called: Velvet Amelia Rose, or just Velvet Rose; either or. She is a Witch, and a non-playable character, who has a secret connection to Krista, which will be revealed much later on. No, she is not Krista's mother XD Also, she has a tail, which is explained that she uses her magic to transform into various kinds of Pokemon. And what you probably don't see is that she does have cat-slit eyes. A lot of this can be explained in the intro of the game, which openly states that this is a Pokemon world delved into the world of fantasy, so a lot of this weird stuff is just par for the course XD It's a fantasy, JRPG, Pokemon game.

Her age is physically 18, but she is actually A LOT older than that. But, saying why that is the case is spoilers.

At the moment, I am still doing tests on the recent changes that I made to my game, involve the throwing Poke Ball bug, which is now fixed, but still needs heavy testing. Also, I added in a new Ability for Allan, called: Second Chance, which only activates if you took a fatal blow, and if it was a Critical Hit. What it does is that it let's you hold on with 1HP, if the attack that hit you was intended to finish you off, and was a Critical Hit.

An ability that works if you're never lucky so is in fact lucky? Might be my main if

Lucky chant is not so lucky now, is it?

Allan does have some pretty interesting abilities. I'm currently working on another one for him, at the moment.

Well, the difference between this and Lucky Chant is that this doesn't prevent Critical Hits, but rather let's you survive a fatal blow from attack that was a Critical Hit.

I mean a hit that would've killed you anyways could be a crit and lucky chant sort of doesn't let the crit occur so the second chance won't kick in. The same as shell armor.

Allan seems like a really good character for unlucky people like me ^.^
