Zakos is Drowning.

Tensions are high as age-old hostilities between two powerful sects are showing signs of swelling into civil war. As the day you and your childhood friend finally embark on an adventure draws near, it becomes increasingly clear that you couldn't have picked a worse time to leave.

There's still a chance that you might be able to avoid the conflict and enjoy a quiet journey by your friend's side, but every step you take seems to draw you closer and closer, and it becomes apparent that your role in the origins of the schism seems to be far deeper than anyone could begin to realize.

The king has washed his hands free of the conflict and the people have no one to look to as an answer to the impending civil war. In a near war-torn Zakos, it's up to you and your allies to pacify the two sects and put an end to the hostilities, lest the region become ravaged by war and left at the mercy of two ancient and godlike forces.

Hey bud, great game ! Had a ton of fun playing it, I just had one game breaking bug where i couldnt move leaving the lighthouse so you might wanna fix that or close it for the time being.

 

Otherwise, how do you get the events pokemon like smoochum etc ? I didnt find any items that made them join my party..

 

Oh and could you tell me what is up with the false god sidequest? I just don't understand what i am supposed to do .. I talked to 2 NPCs in the library but i'm completely lost..

Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

 

As for the lighthouse, thanks for letting me know, I'll go ahead and close it off for the time being.

 

With the static encounters, you need to find gourmet treats to get them, which are pretty well hidden:

The False God sidequest requires you to find and talk to three specific NPCs in the library before returning to talk to Warren. If you don't know who Warren is, talk to the front desk lady first!

 

Hope this helped!

v1.0.6! (kinda)

 

This was something we received a *lot* of criticism about so I decided to fix it asap.
Minerva's gym puzzle is now an actual puzzle and not reliant on fringe literature knowledge (or guessing and checking)

 

Just redownload from the main link, or the patch link a few comments above if you already have a download!

Act 1.5!

 

Act Two is still in the works, but in the meantime, here's a pretty big content update for y'all.

 

What has been added:

 

Two new sidequests post-Minerva: These sidequests are pretty expansive (and difficult) with valuable rewards, and are hopefully going to be engaging as "post-game" content so to speak. The sidequest hooks are in the library and on the beach in Logium Town A after you beat Minerva.

One new field: The desert field never really fit as a field for the tropical beachside areas of the Calypsan Island, so we made our own new field that y'all can have fun exploring, the Beach Field. Check out what it fully does in the field effects manual, because some bosses really take advantage of this field!

One new Mystic Pokemon: Say hi to Mystic Voltorb! Much like its Kantonian counterpart, Mystic Voltorb has the propensity to explode when threatened, but rather than being a bomb, resembles a crystal ball. Seems fitting for a Mystic Form, doesn't it?

 

unknown.thumb.png.3106235315f50b5584fd7a1a95bec01a.png

 

What has been changed:

 

Difficulty Modes: Previously, the difficulty modes only changed the difficulty of the boss battles. However, we realized that this messed with exp and wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience, especially on casual mode, so we reworked the difficulty mode to affect all trainer battles; Intense mode players might observe higher levels and extra Pokémon on route trainer teams, while casual mode players can expect the opposite. Hopefully, this makes the game more engaging for those playing on a difficulty other than normal.

I hope y'all enjoy this update, and be on the lookout for Act Two: Decorum and Ruin in the coming months. Enjoy!

Hi there! A couple of exciting updates for y'all, including Azure 1.6 (not a content update sorry)

 

So Azure was originally built off of Rejuvenation v12's engine, which was incredibly laggy and prone to crashing. Overall, not a fun time. However, thanks to Cass over at Reborn, we have moved to a better engine, Rejuvenation's v13 engine, and I figured with the influx of new players, it was about time to share it with y'all, in a version I'm calling Azure 1.6, the Great Engine Update. The game should be faster, smoother, and overall much more fun to play on!

 

Additionally, Act Two is slated to release sometime this summer, so be on the lookout for that!

 

You must completely delete your old game folder (where you launch the game from) for this to work, and do not be saved in Logium Town A, otherwise it will 100% error out!!!


Also, join our discord! https://discord.gg/B4GNhS2VMg

Ok, is there any reason this wouldn't run on a Mac via Wine? I downloaded the latest version (ostensibly 1.65, but the folder says 1.5 once I unzip it), I've been trying to play it but no matter what I do it just won't start.

 

EDIT: Even trying to playtest it through RPGMaker XP just throws up a "failed to create process" error.

Hey guys can somebody help me out with a puzzle answer?

I'm on the library sidequest (with the golems) and I can't for the life of me figure out the water drinking/flame puzzle.  I've read the "hint" but somehow what I thought was the answer apparently wasn't so I'm left kind of scratching my head.  Any help would be appreciated thanks.

"The Mirror has given us a second chance it seems."

 

Act_Two.thumb.jpg.9dedd5fc08f71eae9ea730fc90690039.jpg

 

Act 2 is on the horizon, specifically 3/2/2023, at midnight. With it comes an overhauled Act 1, lots of graphical updates, and some kickass new music.

 

For those interested, our discord server also has an open beta currently going for everyone in it, so you can play a week early (at the expense of putting up with my bug fixes).

 

Thanks for sticking with us! And hang tight until release day (or play the open beta), it'll be worth it we promise.

 

And remember-

Act 2: Decorum and Ruin is here!

 

Haunted_manor-min.png

 

Act 2: Decorum and Ruin has 6-8 hours of new content, a completely reworked EV and IV system, a massive overhaul of Act 1 content, some absolutely banger tracks from our composers.

 

Here is the short version of our latest and greatest features;

New EV/IV System: Redone to give the player the ability to reallocate EV points any time they want, with a pool of EVs that grow as you level up.

Tutor.net: Use move tutors on the go! Once you talk to them once, you can use their services from the CyberNav!

PokeMagnet: Repel unwanted encounters or attract rare ones, all from the CyberNav.

Killed Friendship: No more friendship evos. Spend your time doing better things.

New Mystic forms: Four more were added in Act 2, see if you can find them all!

“If it meant you could finally be free, wouldn’t you put on the mask?”

 

We have worked tirelessly at this to bring you all something we think you will truly enjoy and provide a very unique, entertaining, and dynamic experience, massive thanks to our team and our playtesters alike for their efforts and I hope you see the fruits of all of our labor!

 

We absolutely recommend you restart your game fresh for the best experience possible and make sure to join our Discord to get early access to tons of information!

 

Thank you all so much for your continued love and support for the game, we appreciate it immensely and we hope that we do your expectations justice!
