I'm a day late on this one, whoops! Anyways, starting off with team updates, field banlist, and some other things. Lets go
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wave 3 Updates

So, we have started accepting teams from the Wave 3 submissions, as you've probably seen. At the current moment, we are up to 120 unique teams.
So, yeah, that's a lot, and we are anticipating around 20 more teams if the field slots fill up.

And on the topic of fields, we are currently down to 18 fields remaining, which is still quite a bit. The remaining fields are the following:

Electric, Misty, Volcanic, Swamp, Rainbow, Icy, Rocky, Forest, Short-Circuit, Wasteland, Beach, Cave, Crystal Cavern, Mountain, Snowy Mountain, Blessed, Corrupted Cave, and Back Alley
You can find the list document here


The Pokemon ban list has also been updated, and can be found on the link provided above. Check the link before making a submission please!
Submit a team here

Over all, team building and testing has been going on a lot in the public Discord, and man, you guys are cooking up some really crazy teams, and sprites.

You guys also cooked up a cult, nice job Halcy. The Snack Squad is recruiting btw.

Character Reveal

It has been a minute since we've done one of these.
So, without further ado, introducing Ari

Art & Design by IronicOmens
image.thumb.png.1960565ab5af4b0bbb776e29eee16c29.png

This Renegade Interceptor can be found throughout the main story, and through a lore-important sidequest.
She was directly outcast by the Overseers for her attempts to sabotage the Pinnacle, where she must now live out her days in the outskirts of society.
She will be more prominent and important in the Renegade Route, but will also show up occasionally in the Paragon route as well. 

And now, let us reveal one of her partners.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aevian Form Reveal

So, here is one of Ari's Pokemon, being one of our new Aevian Forms, which we also teased around a month ago, so! Here it is.
 

Spoiler

Aevian Skrelp & Dragalge
Art & Design by IronicOmens
(Stop stealing my dev blogs thanks)

Dex Entries:
Ice/Poison Type

Aevian Skrelp: These variants are much smaller and more lethargic than their Kalosian counterparts due to the harshness of their ecosystems, which have been strained by human intervention and overfishing. 
Aevian Dragalge: This virulent Pokemon is of a highly vengeful nature, it will stalk sea vessels that meander into its territory and sink them without mercy. Many aquatic Pokemon follow along, as entire ecosystems have been formed from ships sunken by Aevian Dragalge.

image.png.6a4c06439d5e6855189feed0ada8a9bf.pngimage.png.ab6a6e982e35761cac9755c80a3ae530.png

This form also comes with it's own custom ability!
Intoxication: Stat changes inflicted by this Pokemon onto other Pokemon are doubled in effect.

Carl Art Contest Results

About a week ago, we did a art contest in the Discord, where we challenged the community to draw Aevian Noibat, or Noivern. The winner would receive an Aevian Noivern on their team.
Now, the original plan was to have one winner, but the community had other ideas.
Three art pieces tied, and with that, 3 people received Aevian Noivern on their team. Here are the winners.


Arts by: RoninTDL, Minbo, and Baraayas
image.thumb.jpeg.c730df0ed39a4d6622b140f819e78abe.jpegimage.thumb.png.b6549e138ada42402ad96bbb73345255.pngimage.thumb.png.0994dea56720e983a37db91fe4c328bd.png

Congrats to the winners! And thank you to everyone who submitted! All of your art was amazing.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That is all for this week! We will have more updates, team related posts, and general shenanigans in the Discord server, so feel free to join if you haven't already!

Sleep is calling for me, but I'm still here, so lets get into it.
Over all, this post is mostly recaps of stuff I've been teasing in the Discord server, because I really just can't shut up. It's just too much fun! Obviously I'm not just gonna throw teasers and dip though.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Community Events

Alright, so we've had a lot of community events going on since the last post.
Firstly: We held a vote for a custom Aevian form designed by the community. The votes were for Aevian Sawsbuck, Vivillon, and Aggron. And of course, Sawsbuck and Aggron tied, sorry Vivillon enjoyers.
Infernis has been working on the Aggron sprites, and Omens has been working on the Sawsbuck, so expect a full reveal for those once they have been completed.

Right after that we started a more "meme" event. People started designing powerpoint presentations for team changes, so we turned it into an event, which is currently on going.
Write a presentation on why you should have something on your team, and we will review them, and pick 3 of them. Pretty fun I guess.

And on top of that, Infernis is hosting a Showdown tournament in the Discord server, which will be done on the Dawn Showdown page, meaning crests will be included in the battles, as well as some other Rejuv content. Check the Discord announcements for details and the banlist, and contact Infernis if you have questions.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Teaser Content

Last week I made a bunch of videos, said nothing, and posted them on YouTube. What were those videos you're asking yourself? Interceptor Protagonists. Yep.
These fights will be present in the mod. It is undecided whether or not they will be apart of the main story, or some sort of sidequest, however, I am leaning on Renegade route :)
The fights aren't final, and will probably end up having some changes down the line, but they're still fun to watch. Each one has a custom Aevian form from the mod, and 2 are brand new, which I will be revealing in a moment. Feel free to check out the videos here: Aevis, Aevia, Aria, Axel, Alain, Aero.

 

No Ana fight yet, I'm sorry Ana fans! That fight will be made and revealed once we have a sprite made for it.
Additionally, all of the Interceptor sprites are made by heretodefyfate on Tumblr, please go check out their page!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
New Forms

So, as I mentioned before, we teased two new forms in the Interceptor fight videos. So here they are.

 

Spoiler

Aevian Incineroar
Sprites & Art by Omens
Incineroar done the right way! Some people may recognize this sprite, as it's not exactly new. I yoinked this from Omens and threw it in as a form. Finally, Incineroar is not ugly.

Fire/Dark Type
Dex Entry: 
Aevian Incineroar has only been recently re-discovered in the world, thought to have gone extinct. Historical records show it will set its entire territory ablaze to mark it, having been responsible for many forest fires.
image.png.9a75aad565cfc120222c5828181a7d11.png
image.png.6de6988d7b25d10fe417d07c9150d978.png

Aevian Purrloin / Liepard
also by Omens
You guys like cats? No? Well too bad, here's another cat!


Grass/Poison Type
Dex Entry: 
This Pokémon comes from a mirrored dimension, where it is well adapted to camouflaged within miraged trees.

Purrloin sprite not done yet, I promise it will be cute.
image.png.044ae3c2038a874046d6f49664017731.png

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

So, nothing too much for new stuff if you've been keeping up in the Discord server. Next post should have something that we haven't shown off yet.
See you all then! I'm going back to maps, and team stuff.

20/04/2024 Dev Blog
We're back to the forums! The last two posts were done through Google Docs, however, I believe that its safe to return back to the forums, and continue here. I will link the last two Dev Blogs at the end of this post for anyone who missed them.

So, what has been going on lately? Well, we're down to 4 cNPC slots left. Once those are filled, submissions will finally be closed for good (unless someone pulls their team from the mod, or other unstated reasons)
And for this weeks post, I will be going over some unnamed map teasers, the remaining legendaries, paradox's, and Silvally forms, a new character reveal, and of course, another Aevian form. So let's get to it.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Map Teasers

So, I posted two images in the Discord server, showcasing a snippet of some maps I'm working on, and now I'm sharing them here, and not giving any other context! yet
More info on this map, and teasers will be given at a later date, it is a pretty important spot in the story however.

image.thumb.png.3a693dd53505bc222f3fb881ba70b18a.png



Now, for actual stuff I haven't revealed yet.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Legendary Adoption Phase

Okay, so we're doing this a bit early. Starting today, members with accepted teams will be able to submit a request for a legendary, ultra beast, paradox, or Silvally form, that is not in current use for their team. There will be a specific applications that will need to be filled out in the Discord server.
It also should go without saying that new members submitting a team to the mod will have priority over the remaining legendaries.

The application will consist of the following question:
- cNPC Name
- Field & Format (Singles or Doubles)
- Previous Team
- New Team (With the requested mon)
- Why you should have the mon, and how does it synergize with the team/field.

Teams that already have a Legendary, or any other the other forms will likely not receive a second one on their team, so keep that in mind.
This adoption period will end once all remaining forms have been sent to a cNPC team.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Character Reveal

Introducing, the goober, Solus.
More often found during Excursions than within the Pinnacle's cities itself, Solus is quite amicable with Pinnacle life and is usually seen going from one task to another. That, or smuggling obscene amounts of GourmetTreats across the Pinnacle...
A fair contributor to Pinnacle society they may be, Solus prefers to live in the outskirts and thus when not on the job you may find them in more peculiar places than other story NPCs like Vincent and Melody!
They will be more prominent during the Paragon route but will show up a fair few times throughout Renegade as well. Le goob.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Form Reveal

I'm starting to run out of forms that I can reveal without major spoilers, so here's one that isn't fully finished yet, but has artwork made for it.
 

Spoiler

Aevian Fomantis & Lurantis
Art & Design by Halcy

Fire/Fighting Type
Fomantis - Having their biology altered by Mt. Valor's rage, they patrol the mountain as its sentries.
Lurantis - These variants silently stalk those who traverse their territory, and those deemed a threat are struck down in a flash.

That's all for this weeks post! The next post will be on May 4th

05/04/2024 Dev Blog

To start off this post, I will be sharing some pretty big news.
In terms of team submissions, we have finally filled out all slots team slots for every field in the game (excluding the forbidden three).
With that, we have over 130 custom community submitted teams added into the mod!

As of right now, we are hosting the final team update phase in the Discord server, which will last until May 9th.
With this team update wave, you will be eligible to change one Pokemon on your team, as long as it is not a Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast, Paradox, or Silvally Form.
After the 1 week is up, submissions and team updates will be closed for good, with Lore and Sprite changes remaining open for the foreseeable future.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their teams! In total we received over 300 unique submissions to the mod.
I am finally glad to say that Wave 3 is done! I can finally focus on something that isn't adding in new teams.

And with that aside, on to the of the post.


As of like, 3 days ago, we kidnapped recruited a new spriter from the community Discord server. With people being busy and stuff, we kinda needed some help with the work load.
So, with that, please welcome Chrysanthemum to the Overseer team. They've already produced a handful of sprites for the mod, and we will be showcasing a few in a moment.


And now, for your bi-weekly Aevian form.
This one was designed by Omens, and sprited by Chrysanthemum!

Aevian Skiddo & Gogoat
Water Type
Aevian Skiddo - Amicable and excitable beings, Aevian Skiddo will often frolic along the shorelines with people and Pokemon alike.
Aevian Gogoat - Living completely on the ocean's surface, Aevian Gogoats will trot along the waves and are revered by sailors for their ability to calm the sea itself.
image.png.8221aa0b9e94567a889382f0bccd4372.pngimage.png.abe7bf233d9a89d32a40cd907dbd3729.png

And finally, something that has also been revealed in the public server already.
We will be hosting our next community event once the public server reaches 500 members. As of posting, we are currently at around 455 members.
This event will allow you to obtain the exclusive Overseer Aevian forms for your team, as well as participate with other community members! We will provide more information on this event once we are closer to the event goal!

As for future posts like this one, I will no longer be guaranteeing a bi-weekly posting schedule.
A lot of content that we have been working on contains major spoilers that I really can't showcase too much, without giving away major hints, so! Future posts may contain less information, while still containing Aevian form reveals, and some other general community updates.
Additionally, the teasers channel in the public Discord server will be used to showcase snippets of content that doesn't require a full paragraph of text to describe, so stay tuned there as well.

As for the next guaranteed post, we have one planned for June 1st, and I am unsure if there will be another one for May, but I will keep you all updated!
Until next time!

Happy pride month Interceptors!
It's been a minute. Time certainly flies. Like seriously what the hell.

Okay, so we have stuff today, a lot of it. so lets get started.

To start off, in the Discord we held a pretty big event for reaching 500 members. This involved new team submissions, Aevian form raffles, and a event for one of the forms we revealed in the server, Aevian Meowstic.
During that event, we added 4 new teams to the mod, and had an opening for the Dragon's Den field, so submissions for that field are currently open.
Additionally, Iron Moth is now available to be adopted to your team, or submitted for your Dragon's Den team.
Also, for those who haven't seen the Meowstic Aevian form, here it is!

Spoiler

 

Aevian Espurr/Meowstic

image.thumb.png.17df3695a88f992333c3ae53d8ca1e9e.png

image.thumb.png.cf9c7b9f17c5c7cddb0c45be8b117350.pngimage.thumb.png.33b2e34bb1c535482ff97dc4e2e86f37.png

 

So, event stuff done. We will probably host some more maybe sometime possibly in the future, I don't know yet.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Now, trainer sprites!
We revealed Ari's sprites awhile ago, and now, we're going ahead and revealing everyone's favourite goober, Solus!

You will fight this goober a few times throughout the Overseer story, although you will certainly see them a lot more in the Paragon route.
 

image.png.6193f844c97fccde53059b5b04fd954c.pngimage.png.6e5a0bb4a2d6530dcd4836848dac0f48.png

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

It's been awhile since I've done a map revealed.
As of recently, I've been reworking some of the original maps I made when we first started the mod, as the originals were.... not great...
So I've been reworking the intro map, and the Pinnacle. Today I will be showing some snippets of the intro map. This will be the very first location you visit in the mod, and will definitely not have any other importance after what so ever!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


And finally, the Aevian forms.
We have two forms to reveal today! One of them is totally not themed around anything at all, nooo.


 

Spoiler

Aevian Mienfoo and Mienshao
Ice & Ice/Fire Type

 

Aevian Mienfoo - More reclusive than their Unovan counterparts, they would much rather slack off than listen to a single word their trainer says.
Aevian Mienshao - They have a volatile temperament due to their origin, and can go from icy calm to inconsolably enraged in a matter of seconds.

Aevian Togepi, Togetic, and Togekiss, THE GAY BIRDS

Water/Psychic Type
 

Aevian Togepi - Nestled within the depths of the sea, Aevian Togepi are said to be born from the wistful thinking of those in woe.
Aevian Togetic - Upon evolving, Aevian Togetics will make pilgrimage above the oceans, onlooking the strife of the world from high above it all.
Aevian Togekiss - Aevian Togekiss are rumored to make pilgrimage through entire dimensions in the pursuit of ending the suffering of the wisher's woes.

Hi, we're back showcasing more cool things that have been in the works since our last post. A lot of things are still heavy spoilers, so there isn't too much on characters, or story, yet.
This post will primarily focus on some art/sprites, forms, and another map showcase, so here we go.

The Forest
Bordering between the Pinnacle, and the next larger settlement is the Outskirts, and the Forest, where the outskirts is more open and well kept, the forest is a path of foliage, trees, and water.
Trekking through the forest will lead to multiple routes, each of which will showcase their own unique story locations, and rewards. Here's a showcase of the Forest.

image.thumb.png.a81203c83b3e0bcabcf7e7af93e11c4b.pngimage.thumb.png.6467ebf2d016b3e741ab797bc7f0a116.png

I wonder where that cave could lead, hmmmmmm.
The map shown may have some slight changes upon release, but for now, this is what we have!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Battle Graphics

We decided to spicen up some of the battles for the mod, and have made a custom battle background! Where is this place? Well, wouldn't you like to know! We'll reveal that later.
There are plans for multiple custom made battle backgrounds in the future, but for now, we have this one to show, which was made by Omens.


image.png.ac026bf533db14a7489fd928f1fe715c.png

Pretty cool looking.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Form Reveals
We're showing off two new forms for this post, both from Gen 5!

 

Spoiler

Aevian Minccino & Cinccino

Design & Sprites by Chrysanthemum

Steel/Ground Type
Minccino entry: Playful and mischievous, Aevian Minccino, often kept as pets, use their sharp, spiky tails to break things around the house.
Cinccino entry: They have calmed down since their undisciplined childhood days: Aevian Cinccino's dispositions are generally serene, but when with a trainer they trust, their old rough selves will sometimes emerge again.

Aevian Venipede, Whirlipede, & Scolipede
Design & Sprites by Omens

Electric/Dragon

Aevian Venipede - This species of Aevian Pokemon appears to be native to the Pinnacle, existing around rocky alcoves and zapping unwanted intruders away from their environment.

Aevian Whirlipede - Whirlipedes are often domesticated by Interceptors, as their excess amount of electricity through evolution allows them to power generators without strain.

Aevian Scolipede - Far more difficult to domesticate than their prior evolutions, Aevian Scolipedes act as equalizers of the Pinnacle's ecosystem. Due to this, they are the natural enemies of the invasive Aevian Noibat.

07/28/2024 Dev Blog

We're back with another post. This last month has primarily been us focusing on organization, implementation of any missing cNPC assets, and clearing up the backlog of old things that needed to be done, as well as chipping away at the regions layout. Over all, this has been going alright, working a full time job is definitely slowing this down however, and unfortunately, it's going to be even slower for the month of August, as I have been pushed into taking a vacation for 2 weeks, so the new post after this probably wont have too much going for it. 

Now, with all the life crap aside, I'll start off with our latest announcement in the Discord server.

cNPC Roll Call

A few days ago, I made a fairly lengthy announcement in the public server, going over cNPC that are missing things from their original submission, such as dialogue, lore, sprites, etc.
There was probably around 50+ people that I ended up pinging, so if you haven't checked the announcements yet, or the team list, I'd recommend doing so as soon as possible.


As of right now, there is no deadline for finishing your cNPCs, this will most likely change when I return from vacation.
I also do not plan to be removing any cNPCs, however, if your submission is missing sprites, dialogue, and lore, and you fail to contact me, or make notice of it in the server, I will then be opening up your slot to someone else. 

The team list can be found here


Map Reveal

I have two maps to show off on this post, the first one has already been revealed in the public server, and the second one is entirely new.
First off, let me introduce the rest of you to the second settlement located in the region,

Aspenelle Town
Located North of the Pinnacle, Aspenelle Town rests on the boarder of the Highlands, and the Outskirts, and is home to a majority of the Paragon Interceptors. The town is built upon the community working together, and you will often find several community events taking place, fresh crops being distributed amongst the locals, and an over all welcoming environment, that is, if you aren't there to cause issues...
Here, you will be able to meet a small group of Interceptors who call themselves the "Snack Squad". These group of unique Interceptors will help you settle into the new environment, give you some lore about the Pinnacle, and maybe even team up with you from time to time, who knows!

image.thumb.png.d4bdbd76c95d1db6797409011c2489ac.pngimage.thumb.png.f82a9351757fdd53db729f1f3275a786.pngimage.thumb.png.2bf8d548e71a3b100831f86bd182aa3a.png


Aspenelle Canyon

 

Located west of Aspenelle Town, the canyon acts as the boarder between the Highlands, and Aspenelle.
The environment is built up of large cliffs and mountains surrounding the environment, and several natural lakes and waterfalls throughout the area.
Oh, and it's home to several Outcasts, and a few Exiles too... Thankfully, there's someone living there to keep the chaos at a minimum.
(yeah I know there's a tile error with the tent, I already fixed it)

Aevian Form

 

As usual, I am closing off this post with a new Aevian form. This month, we are revealing another one designed by Chrysanthemum.

 

Spoiler

Aevian Indeedee

Design & Sprites by Chrysanthemum

Grass/Normal Type

 

Aevian Indeedee (Male) - These timid Pokémon prefer living deep in the woods, away from human interference. Trespassers are chased out by force: however, these attacks are rarely ever lethal. They make for exceedingly loyal companions to those able to train them.

Aevian Indeedee (Female) - Living close to human settlements, these Indeedee are sociable, playful, and easy to befriend. However, their capricious nature makes them dangerous to anger. They will unleash their full power upon those who have displeased them.

This concludes the post for this month. As I mentioned at the start of the post, I will be on vacation for a good bit of August, so the next post won't be too big. But who knows, maybe I'll give a decent spoiler next time... We shall see.
And remember, to make changes to your cNPC, or include anything that is missing, or to just hang out and do whatever, make sure you join our Discord server.

08/17/2024 Dev Blog
I am finally back, and working on the mod again, thank goodness.
As mentioned on the last post, we're revealing some pretty interesting things to reveal for this months post, and it's going to be a long one.
As for overall development, we've been very active with finalizing the remaining form sprites/art, and continuing working on custom assets, and maps.
Anyways, with that out of the way, let's get into the first topic.

 

Crest Event
We hosted a community event a few weeks ago allowing the community to design some  custom crests for the mod.
This went... alright I suppose. There were some interesting submissions, but in the end we finished off with three new crests.

Mightyena Crest
Biting moves are given a 50% boost and speed is increased by 20%.


Ninetales Crest
Ghost STAB and Resistances, disables opponent's move upon hit." - Note: Applicable to BOTH forms of Ninetales.


Runerigus Crest

Once per battle, curses opponent upon hit, has a passive leftovers effect at the end of the turn

cNPC Arena / Zeight Matrix
Introducing: The Zeight Matrix.
This is where you will find all of the trainers in the mod, as well as a variety of other custom made content, which has been developed by Jz.
Currently the lobby map, and arena are placeholders, and will have a fresh coat of custom mapping down the line.

This location will offer the following content:
- All 140+ cNPC battles.

- And endless rouge-like/mystery dungeon styled game mode.
- The MP shop, which can be used to obtain exclusive battle items, crests, and various other items.
- Exclusive Pokemon with special movesets.
- The Overseer Files developer room, offering extremely difficult developer made battles.

cNPC Battles
Alrighty, starting off with the main purpose of this location, the cNPCs.
As you probably know, each cNPC is given a tier between 1 to 3. This tier will determine when you can battle the trainers.

Tier 1 will be available as soon as you gain access to the Pinnacle, and progress past the intro events of the story.
Tier 2 will be available at the start of Chapter 2 of the main story.
Tier 3 will be available at the start of Chapter 3 of the main story.

Defeating cNPCs will reward you with MP points, which as mentioned previously, can be exchanged for various rewards.
Defeating a certain number of cNPCs will unlock a milestone reward, and defeating every single cNPC will give you a surprise :)

Rogue-like / Mystery Dungeon
Additionally, for those who want to challenge themselves, JZ has implemented a new rogue-like gamemode.
Upon entering, your bag will be cleared, and you will enter with only the 6 Pokemon in your party.
As you progress, you will battle boss Pokemon, and of course, cNPCs, which will get harder as you progress through the floors.

Bosses and cNPCs will drop Pokeballs, Held items, and various other new items that will help you progress.
The higher the floor you're on, the better rewards you will receive at the end of the run. But do note; you cannot save in the rogue-like gamemode, once you lose, you're out.

After a certain amount of floors, there will be a Legendary Boss fight that you will have to battle in order to progress. This boss will give you boosted rewards.

Aevian Forms
Two more forms for this post. We have one from the old Aevian Form contest that was never revealed, and a brand new form set.

 

Spoiler

Aevian Aggron
Art by: Chrysanthemum, Aron/Lairon Sprites by: Halcy, Aggron Sprite by: Infernis.

Electric/Bug Type

image.png.12df1cf2756d6196be25087109e9a0fd.pngimage.png.ae156d0aa6783041a076c5aee7fcdabf.pngimage.png.7b9117484e9d4ed988dc0b52beebedbe.png

Aevian Lycanroc
Sprites/Art by: IronicOmens

Rockruff: Steel Type

Lycanroc:
Type (Scout): Grass / Steel
Type (Dredge): Water / Steel
Type (Blitz): Fire / Steel


Rockruff - This variant of rockruff was only recently domesticated in the Pinnacle. They are trained by members of the Enforcement Division for various duties that determine their evolution.
Lycanroc:
Scout Due to their tracking capabilities, this version of Lycanroc makes an excellent scout. It leaves trails of solid green light wherever it runs to, which are charged via photosynthesis.
DredgeDespite its rebellious attitude, it makes an excellent enforcer and guardian due to its ability to generate nigh-impenetrable barricades of water on command.
Blitz The most uncommon variant of Aevian Lycanroc, many trainers avoid it due to its temper and volatile nature. However, if harnessed properly, it can be an invaluable companion.

We have one last thing to share.

Custom Music
That's right, we have a custom music piece.
I made the amazing financial decision, and commissioned Zumi for a track, which will be used in the mod.
The full song won't be available until we release the mod to the public, however, here's the intro to it for now!
 

 

 

You get no other info, just take it, and enjoy. 
I would highly recommend checking out Zumi's commission sheet if you're ever interested in custom art, or music. Her work is incredible, and I'm glad I got to commission something like this for the project.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all for this post. We had a lot to share for this one, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Just a reminder that cNPC sprites, lore, and dialogue are due by September First. If you're missing all 3, your team may be removed.
Check out our Discord for more details on the mod, teasers, and various announcements.

09/11/2024 Dev Blog
This weeks post is going to be a little shorter than normal. This isn't due to lack of progress to show, but rather it's quite a big announcement, and I don't really want to bloat this post.
Over all development has been going well. As mentioned in the Discord server, there are only 2 main maps left to design and add, and 1 other that needs to be overhauled, once that's done, it's on to interiors, and other smaller maps, then eventing and finishing up writing, and sorting out anything left over. Hopefully we can get this done in a reasonable timeframe!

Speaking of map overhauls, I have a map overhaul to show.
I've teased and shown the Highlands before, but to be honest, it wasn't that great, the map itself was somewhere around 150 x 180 in size, which, is a little bit too big.
I also didn't really utilize that space very well, and it felt very flat and boring, so, I went ahead and redid it entirely.

 

Here is the old map teaser for example:

 

image.png.1f39422ee044558530ba97b1e8eaf366.png

 

I'll be honest, I didn't really know what I was doing when I made that map. It was the first tileset I had made, as well as the first giant mountain map too, so of course, it wasn't great.
With that beside us however, the overhauled map, in my opinion at least, looks a lot better.
So, introducing

Silverlein Highlands

 

image.thumb.png.a9e4eba0bf7fd019870e31a2373a1f63.png

 

The original idea of this map is still there; it's a big mountain range that has you traversing through caves and windy pathing to reach a destination, this time it's not just a straight path though!
Silverlein is the main location for Renegades, Outcasts, and sometimes even Exiles, with the village being located to the north of the main location.
From here, you will be able to traverse to the Silverlein Swamps, or hike up to the Silverlein Summit. Who knows what's all the way up there...

I managed to get this one done is a reasonable amount of time, which is surprising, since the original map took almost 3 weeks to finish, so that's a plus.
Mapping hell is almost over!


Additionally, we finished clearing up the inactive teams, which opened 4 new slots, all of which have already been filled with some great new members.
So, all of the slots are full, right? Well... for now, maybe, this might change with what's coming next.


 

image.png.2b3472e6e79ab893823a3f2f9d9de36c.pngimage.png.10598f4ac4b400cb7811f5ae16bb1644.png

 

Ayrien Ralts, and its evolutions come from the Ayrei region, and is the signature Pokemon of Nephele.
Both Gardevoir and Gallade are Flying types.
Gardevoirs Abilities: Gale Wings, Lightning Rod, Telepathy
Gallades Abilities: Gale Wings, Sharpness, Justified


As for Vanguard, in version 4.0, you will be able to find and obtain 4 of our Aevian forms!
Aevian Scolipede, Sawsbuck, Gogoat, and Pyroar
Movesets and Abilities are subject to change per Vanguard balancing standards obviously.

 

image.png.a5807bda0e99f4f320dc45932b31c7d3.png

 

 

Depending on how this collaboration goes, we may end up opening a 4th slot for each field. We will monitor activity and demand, and if its deemed necessary, we will do so.
So stay tuned!


That's it for this post, I'm sorry it was a short one, but hopefully the announcement justifies it! We will continue to work hard, and feature more exciting content down the line!
Check out Project Vanguards Discord server as well!

10/08/2024 Dev Blog

Today is a pretty big day for the mod, as we recently hit 1,000 members in the Discord server, a huge milestone for something that is just a mod for Rejuvenation, at least to me anyways.
Because of this, we are hosting a bunch of community events, and revealing some new content for the mod.

Community Events
Starting off with the events, we are hosting 3 of them.

The first being "The Pinnagame", a RNG based/raffle event, where members with cNPCs can submit their character into a raffle, and if selected, go at it in the Hunger Games, with the first three winners getting an Aevian form on their team!
You can submit your cNPC into the raffle here: https://forms.gle/sgfDHYQy3h3b7oZaA

The second event is a Trivia, where we will be doing a Kahoot quiz based on the mod, the story lore, and some other mod related questions. The top 3 highest scoring participants will win an Aevian form for their team, where the participant that comes in first place will also win a trainer effect for their team.
The trivia will be taking place TONIGHT, at 7 PM EST, check the server events, or join the stage channel to participate. This will be taking place in the Discord.

And finally, we will be updating the Aevian Form demo with 4 new forms, those forms being
Aevian Noivern
Aevian Flygon
Aevian Vivillon

and a community chosen form to be added to the pack.
You can vote for the new form here: https://forms.gle/u82J8yM1Y7xWa4Wv5

 

Duskmire Bayou

Duskmire Bayou is the final main location in the Pinnacle to be revealed. Located south to Silverlein Highlands, Duskmire is a overgrown toxic swamp, and is the least populated location in the Pinnacle, with the primary residence being Outcasts, who are either seeking an escape from the main Pinnacle locations, or those who are in tune with nature. The poison type Pokemon alone are a main deterrent for new residents, but on top of that, the land itself is suspended above the toxic waters by thick vines, and frequently shifts without warning, making it extremely difficult to construct homes, or any other kind of residence in this location.

The waters are home to Aevian Dragalge, they're extremely territorial, and will typically attack anyone who attempts to disrupt their home, making it highly difficult to urbanize the Bayou. This however does give homes to a plethora of Poison type Pokemon.

image.thumb.png.6b1324f9fc96a81cc43a7b403cfe5573.png


New Forms

These next forms are pretty special compared to the rest.
As mentioned in the Aevian Demo update, Aevian Vivillon is now real, but we have two other forms to showcase along side it.


 

Spoiler

Aevian Vivillon

Art/Sprites by: Chrysanthemum,

 

Ice/Steel Type

Aevian Scatterbug - Native to the Pinnacle, it's said that a Scatterbug hatches when another Interceptor is invited to the Pinnacle, though such a rumor is unconfirmed.
Aevian Spewpa - The clock that ticks upon their carapace appears to follow a twenty-four hour time system in spite of their environment's timeless nature, as such, they are regaled as timekeepers within the Pinnacle- which would lack a method to accurately keep track of the hours otherwise. 
Aevian Vivillon - Rumored to be an ascension of the Butterflies of Fate, they assist in keeping the ecosystem in the Pinnacle stable. They only ever allow themselves to be captured if they specifically choose an Interceptor to accompany.

Tempest Wing & Iron Seraph

Sprites made by Ace_Stryfe

 

Tempest Wing: Fighting/Flying
Iron Seraph: Electric/Flying


New information is still being discovered about these variants of Slither Wing and Iron Moth. These inconsistencies have not been recorded in any timeline, and any times to log them in a Pokedex results in a fatal error.

 

image.png.72ecade7f476a46bd71b886fc7390eb3.png

 

 

 

 

 

The Void 

The Void is a desolate landscape, No important information is known about it. Any history on this location, or how it came to be is unknown, and there are no known Interceptors that reside there. You are not meant to be here.
The Void is watched by a highly aggressive Pokemon. Please see the found footage below.

 

 

 


A single image has been captured of this creature, and is assumed to be a new variant of Silvally.

image.png.6f597da334eba1acbd803467f6890eeb.png
No other information is available at this time.

 

 

That's all for this post. Thank you all again for 1,000 members!
Make sure to check out the Discord for the on-going events, and future updates.

12/15/2024 Dev Blog

It's only been what... two months since we posted one of these?
whoops.

I promise we didn't forget about you! We've been hard at work with development, and eventing the Renegade route for the story.
So far, we're about half way through Act 1 of the Renegade route. Once Act 1 is done, we'll start with Paragon, which probably won't take as long as Renegade, since there isn't a huge plot difference between the intro events, first excursion, etc etc.

Apart from eventing, our artists have been hard at work finalizing any Aevian Forms that were missing assets and art, and JZ as been continuing implementing any missing trainers/trainer changes, and continuing to work on custom coded assets, such as the Matrix. So over all, everything is still progressing like normal.
With the holidays coming up soon, things may slow down a bit, but after the New Year, we will be back at full pace, with hopes of having the mod done sometime in 2025.

 

1 Year of Overseer Files

So uh, yeah, we've been doing this for a year now, pretty crazy to think.
Now, the official anniversary was technically back in November, but we did open the Discord on this day, so we're just going to say that December 15th is the anniversary.

 

So, with it being our anniversary for the mod, we're going to be doing a few events in the server for it.

For the first event, we are doing a re-run of the...


Powerpoint Presentation event
This event was our most participated event, and seemingly the favourite amongst the server, so, we're doing it again!
The rules are as follows:

- Submit a powerpoint of any length, preferably done in Google Slides, going over why you want the changes to your team. The more detail, the better, just don't make it a wall of text. Aevian forms should have some lore in the presentation as to how they obtained it.
- You can submit for Aevian Forms, Pokemon that are not on the ban list, or changes to pre-existing Pokemon. Trainer Effects and illegal moves are not allowed.
- The following Aevians are banned from submissions: Noivern, Flygon, Aerodactyl, Sceptile, Aggron, Tempest Wing, Iron Seraph, Mega Aevian Mawile.

- Submissions end in 1 week, this can be extended if needed.

- Submissions are to be sent in our Discord server event channel.

Trainer Effect raffle
I'm sure this will go fine.

If you win, you can only win 1 trainer effect, and must be balanced. No omni boosts, or overpowered abilities. We will have the final say on if your effect is allowed.
If you have a trainer effect already, you cannot win the trainer effect reward, but can make a change to a pre-existing Pokemon (you cannot substitute for another).
Submissions will be closed in 3 days.

Development Screenshots

Here's a few random snippets from development, no context will be given!

Aevian Form

Worm? Worm.
 

Spoiler

Aevian Sentret / Furret
Sprites by Omens, Art by Nym

Dragon / Normal
Sentret: Rather playful as it lives mostly in groups, it will do whatever it can to bring people happiness; especially lonely souls.
Furret: It resides in places mostly for those pure of heart, bringing a cocoon of comfort to souls unable to move on.

As a general reminder, we still have several field slots open for submissions right now! So, if you want to add your team, come check out the Discord server, and send over a submission.
Our next Dev Blog will be sometime in the New Year, so look out for that.
