V7 progress

Well, well, well, I never thought we'd get here! To be honest, I thought it would take way longer to get here since at the time of the first version, I was so inexperienced that I was imagining it might take a whole year but because of my passion, I was able to get this far! The fact that the main game is almost over is quite something. That said, I know you didn't come here to listen to me ramble all day. You're here because you want to know how the game's doing right? Right, so let's get started shall we? 

So over here, we have some revamps of the admins. They looked quite crusty back in the early versions so I figured I'd update their sprites a bit and they're so much better! Back then, I was too lazy to actually sprite the right way so here we here! At least I'm not like Full Moon were I just steal a bunch of other people's sprites and slap a recolor on it and call it a day. Shame on them...

Next up on the list is the train segment. And would you look at that, original stuff! I used the tilesets that came with essentials and boy were they ugly! So I used Reborn and Rejuv as bases for tilesets. Hope Amethyst and Jan don't get onto me for using them... But anyways, this is just a small snippet for players restarting the game. Not only that but you may run into a certain sidequest character here so keep an eye out!

Also, there are some other revamps but I'd like to keep them a secret for now... I don't want to ruin the surprise. 

And then last thing I want to present is Lively Town! Now, this is a place I was thinking about the most when planning my game. A little backstory about me is that I found the Reborn forums 3 years back. You know, pandemic era? Well I was looking for something to do during lockdown and found both Pokémon Reborn and Rejuvenation. I played Reborn first and played it for a while and dropped it and didn't pick back up until later. Next I played Rejuv and I was amazed by the story, characters, presentation, and the music. I know to some, Rejuv is very poorly written but I don't see why. Everything made sense to me and I found the Rejuv characters more likable than the Reborn cast. I'm not a fan of 90 percent of Reborn's cast but there are some characters I liked. But let's get back to the present. This was the town that is pretty infamous in the Temporal region for not only the chief's group but also how nice and outgoing the people are. When Yveltal was going on it's own war with Xerneas, it went for Lively Town first due to how strong the chief was. This town was built around 5 years ago after Ampharos split with Draco. Amphy, gathered a lot of people to build it and has lived here ever since.

And that's all I have for this update! As always, thanks for following up on my game's development and I hope everyone's safe and sound. Next time, I may tease the story a bit to hype up the version. Till then, this is were we part.
