    I am glad you like the music choices in my game, and you will be hearing a little bit more of it, in this new video of my game! Also, thank you for following me on Twitter, I am glad to see you following my game and I :D

    I have this saying

    When it comes to fan games, if the creator put so much detail into the presentation to set itself apart from the others. Then it's truly going to be something spectacular.

    That's how I felt about Reborn. That is also why I am pumped for this.

    Your welcome, if I'm going to play your game I gotta hear your updates when they come out!

    I suppose an announcement is in order, to at least let those interested understand what is happening.

    My work as of late has been slow, really slow. The last few weeks I haven't had much time to work on the game, despite being so close to finishing the release. The prep for exams and work has been taking up all my time and its hard to find a spare second to finish up on the episode. Also, our family has been significantly impacted by the recent Paris attacks so I doubt I'll find time to work anytime soon.

    Please note, by no means is this game discontinued, in fact the release is almost finished. This announcement simply means that there's a lot of things I still want to add in, but finding time to do so is difficult.

    That being said, thanks for the support!

    Originally I intended for the game to follow the roots of Rejuvenation and Reborn but in development of Ep. 2 a lot changed.

    I've updated heaps of sprites for Episode 2 and I think the overall spriting quality is really starting to peak now. To become a beta tester just send me a PM so I have an easy to access record and I'll write you down as a beta tester. Beta testers will be PM'd the release when it arrives.

    I'm pretty sure the reason protean registers hidden power as a normal type is probably because Hidden Power is classified as a normal type move. I'll take a look but it seems like quite a tricky fix.

    Hey that was the main criticism of the first release for me. I'm looking forward to see what you have to show off.

    So I finally completed the Bidoof puzzle, so I can say for the most part completed this release.

    Very good, it's plot hooked me off the bat. The only character I like so far is Connor because he's a likable Fern. He actually grows a little bit because he lost. He actually helps us out because he knows it's the right thing to do. He's cocky but not an asshole. Nothing wrong with the pure asshole type of character, those give us motivation to beat them. It's just there is no redeeming Fern regardless of his personal motivations revealed in episode 15.

    The first gym was pretty easy, it could have been harder if I didn't have a Spheal or Monferno, but I did so I blew through his team. That's not to say that you should buff him. I say just get rid of one Vulpix and add a new fire type that's fair and not stupid at this point in the game.

    The story has me pretty hooked. I enjoyed the native arc where you free a tribe from hypnotism and manipulation. Looking forward to what's to come.

    Now I'll this, don't go over board with cryptic puzzles. If you're going to make it hard, at least include prompts to let the player know he/she is doing it right. Like how in Mario 64 if you pressed the right treasure chest instead of the wrong one you get a little jingle. Puzzles are fun, but if you have absolutely no hints on what to do visually or sound wise, it can really frustrate the experience in an unnecessary way.

    The spriting is the weakest point. You should focus on improving that in the next little while. Connors' is okay, I think you need to make a new one and not base it off Fern. Also fix the shading and what not. Especially on the native characters. Kuiki should have his own sprite instead of a recolor of the regular NPCs.

    Overall this release is a 7.5/10. Just up the presentation and we're in for something special. This could be the next Rejuvenation if you try hard enough.

    edt: ALSO, having the choice between 26 starter pokemon, and picking two was a REALLY good idea. It adds more variety in choice and that's always welcome.

    I don't hold it against you. This IS release #1 after all. I do like the plot set up. Unique starter choice.

    Went through the sprite folder to find that, was surprised to see insurgence sprites in there too. Only expected to see either Rejuvenation or Reborn assets. Not all 3 :P
