X% Hype!!! [E18 Dev Discussion Thread]


Amethyst

Recommended Posts

last time Alpha and Beta took like a week each, and E17 was pretty hefty, I doubt it's going to take that long this time, especially considering Supervised testing is almost already over after like 4 days where it took a week last time iirc, either way, I would say expect the episode in late July

I think testing was kinda rushed last time because they tried to keep to 1 week per phase, so it could be slower this time. it's probably decent as a rough estimate though

Supervised testing was always going to be shorter anyways as it's just one person (Inuki I think) playing the game with Ame watching. The next stages are going to be longer as the amount of people testing increase.

I do not know what you guys are remembering, last time we wanted them to take like a week each and then they both ended up taking months because of the sheer amount of issues. Supervised testing is always short because it's only 1 or 2 people watching.

Who is feeding this information to you. Alpha took 3 weeks and I think the beta took two and a half. I don't know the total run time but it was like two months. There was two months of pretty much silence on the episode. It was a very, very abnormal amount of time to fix the critical ai issues that kept popping up.

 

As for how testing goes, supervised testing has the least amount of people and internal is not that many as well. Less people means less time to worry about it. When it reaches Alpha testing, it'll most likely be a two week process. One week for everyone to play and report feedback and glitches and one for fixing them on top of additional glitches being reported. Two weeks is super short for a time period so it might be slightly longer. Beta period likely will be shorter than the alpha period since it theoretically should have less glitches to find and report but you never know. Maybe a week and a half if we're lucky.

 

We won't have a good estimate for the community release until the game hits the alpha stage. I'd expect Mid August to be the earliest though. Episode releases have almost always taken nearly a month to reach the public stage and we now have an extra phase to QAing. I don't keep track of everything regarding timeframes with episodes but we are definitely not getting the episode release in July.

If by "Soon", you mean "In a month or two", then yeah, Soon. Alpha and Beta testing are long, arduous processes.

Considering how long it can be between updates, 1-2 months feels like soon, I have Octopath to keep me busy until it updates anyway. 😛

ah yea I hadn't really remembered how long it actually took (though I do now), I was just remembering the initial 1 week per phase plan and that not being a thing that wen't well. at all. 

 

 

anyway good luck with this round, however long it takes

Personally, I would be less concerned about the release and more worried about surviving the savage hand of Saphira. Also...spoiler alert...

Most of this quote was used in the official trailer while Thanos' full dialogue on it is at the beginning of Infinity War. I simply prefer this version since its mostly short but the full one works just as well. Now for some more spoilers:

No I never had

I thought not. It's not a story Reborn officials would tell you. It's a Reborn Legend.

 

Amethyst was the Champion of the Reborn Region, so powerful and so wise, She could use RPG Maker to influence the tilesets to create... a video game.

 

She had such a knowledge of RPG Maker, that she could even keep the weaker pokemon.... from being axed.

She could actually...save Solaris's garchomp from my Beautifly?

The Knowledgeable side of RPG Maker is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

She became so powerful. The only thing she was afraid of, was of course, losing her power, which eventually, she did. Unfortunately, She made her main villain so blatantly overpowered, then the villain killed her in a cutscene.

 

Ironic.... She could save others from being axed, but not herself.

Is it possible to learn the ways of RPGmaker?

Finally, Gardevoir gets a move that represents its Pokedex Entry in Pokemon Sapphire..

if only.

it only legitimately learns 2 dark moves and both of them are physical 

so it can make a black hole but it certainly won't kill you.

Not from a Reborn official.

What if Bianca looked at her for a very long time?
