So it just occurred to me, do we know where Saki's gym is?

 

Spoiler

Saki's gym SHOULD be in West Gearen, but obviously it isn't. Since we will be fighting her next, I would assume something to do with the Dreamyard, since it looks like an area with machinery. I think what happened to her will be a major part of Chapter 15 story. But, the Dreamyard seems very logical for the story to head (especially since we know that it involves the Puppet Master).

 

It is the Dark and Fairy leaders that concern me more. Dark might fit in Oblitus Town, but nobody's lived in that place for years. And Fairy? I suppose there must be areas of the region we haven't visited yet that might fit a Fairy-type gym.

 

[kithas]

Fairy-type in the Dream yard (after the fairy-boosting darchlight woods) also fits. And I would love an arc involving Oblitus town. 

[Hiven]

Everything looks great, I look forward to playing that stuff.

That said though, have you thought of reducing the ingame lag? Idk if it only happens to me but the game can get really laggy or even have some sort of latency, for example when I try to scroll through the items in my bag.

[OmegaStellarSolare]

The last Gym Leader will be based on Dragon type. It can be situated in the cave with dragon power. I saw in Darchlight Cave terrain changed to dragonic cave by using such moves then some sort of Dragon type moves. Isn't that correct?

If she's still a student at Axis High University, her gym might possibly be there, since one part of Saki's badge has a great resemblance to the banners at Axis High.

Soooo... It's finally time to show the full versions off of the character art for Rejuvenation's early game characters! As most of you are probably well aware, a good couple of these characters have different appearances/outfits later in the game, but I will be drawing art for those as well. For the time being, here's the plot-relevant characters up to Carotos mountain -- Melia (1st appearance), Ren (1st appearance), Venam (1st appearance), Zetta, Nim, Aelita (1st appearance), Keta and Madelis!

 

 

...Yes, I forgot Eli and Sharon. And Amanda. Eli & Sharon will be included in the next batch though!! And Amanda I'll be keeping for West Gearen characters for.... Reasons you can probably all appreciate. :]

*cough* her battle right before erick's battle catching me off guard every fucking time *cough cough couGH COUGH*

 

Either way, all of the individual transparent character artworks can be found in the Official art thread! There's also a bunch of icons I made of the new art that you can use if you want in that thread as well, so feel free to check it out 

[lokighost]

nice work @Zumi loving the art work

I never thought about your artwork. The artwork of characters came from chapter 1 and 2. No wonder you're good at that. I like Venam and Melia’s appearance is better from chapter 5 to 9. I’m looking forward to that.

Very excited for this....spent a shameful amount of hours grinding some pokemon for a good roster in anticipation for this next ep.

 

With the expected integration of Gen 8 pokemon and mechanics, are we also to expect Dyna/Gigantamaxing? If so how will this coincide with mega evolution and z moves? We've yet to get the mega ring yet and would hate for all the mega stones and z crystals we've gathered to be rendered useless or not as effective due to busted Gen 8 stuff.

 

Any insight on this yet?

 

P.S.   Love this game, by far my favourite pokemon game of all time. Keep up the amazing work

The insight on Dynamax is that it won't be implemented, Jan has been on record stating that

Also i really love the art in this game, amazing job zumi!

[The Fangame Connoisseur]

One thing's for sure, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next batch of characters, should Zumi wish to draw them. I know they'll look amazing!

[Delta3416]

One discussion that I'm interested in is: how many sub-regions is Aevium actually divided into?

There's at least one (Neverwinter) which we haven't visited yet. But are there others?

I have seen a map which appears to represent the whole Aevium region, but it is very different to what we actually have. (I think it is from version 9 or 10)

 

Also, there is one place referred to which (I think) its location is not known, and it is Alvavors Ruins (where Karen took those men to in the first help quest). I don't, however, suppose we will be visiting these places THAT soon. It only comes up because one of the screenshots we were given was a snowy area which made me think we are possibly going to Neverwinter.

 

At the same time, there are many issues that have not been solved in GDC, and given that the chapter name is about the Puppet Master I would think we'll be visiting him again.

Oh, good point. We haven't actually seen Neverwinter yet.

Spoiler

I hope we get to battle Kreiss!

 

[Delta3416]

Spoiler

Me too. There is also mention of a Normal-type gym in Neverwinter, which I suppose won't be official, but more like an extra challenge. I wonder how his team would be differentiated from Angie's. 

 

It's likely we also might get to battle the other gym leaders that we never actually fought, namely Lavender and Talon.

 

[BRS swag]

Neverwinter is so winter.... 

[Cyphre]

Im curious, how much events and stuff are gonna be changed. I would like to replay it from zero once more anyway, but not sure i can sink another 150 hours in it.

I want to replay it from zero too, but to make team with fast sweepers. I’ll catch them, evolve them, train them and change their positions to my team.

This is beautiful! Fantastic jobs as alway Jan! Keep up the amazing work you and the rest of the dev team are doing

Truly epic.

 

I suppose the locations are, in order, Goldenwood, Terajuma, Darchlight and Evergreen.

Also, is there an actual difference between the field effects in each area? Or is it only Darchlight that is different?

 

On that topic, I would definitely assume there are some fields we haven't really seen yet. For instance, first time playing through the Grand Dream Tournament, the fields were randomised. I got Starlight Field for one of them. I think it would definitely suit the Dark-type gym leader.

From what I recall, all the forest fields are the same except from darchlight

Correct, though you could also say the last one is for the Forest of Time, as they share backgrounds, next to the filename being called BattleBgTime!

 

The old background that is currently in Rejuvenation being used for daytime, evening and nighttime are old backgrounds I made roughly 2-3 years ago, so just to give a little comparison for a before and after...

 

 

Not only is the new background better in quality overall, the background has become significantly easier to edit for alternate forest fields due to only having a limited color palette and now being fully done in pixel art rather than being a blurry mess. It should save us a lot of time in the future, at the very least!

I'm probably going to add a couple of smaller unique details to some of these fields instead of keeping them as just recolors (especially Darchlight!), so look forward to the fully polished backgrounds in V13! :]

Wow. Just, wow. That looks astonishing, another reason to start playing Rejuvenation from the start! (along with my small little bean Pincurchin ^.^)
