My issue is at Bladestar transmition after battleing Adam, the screen goes black and then says scrip hangging everytime, so i´m stuck there, please help.
I know. For you, and everyone else who has this issue. Simply go into your graphics folder, Graphics/Pictures and delete files BladestarTransmission and BladestarTransmission_2. Then try again.

Until then I just thought "Maybe he'll include it, maybe not. Lets wait and see." But now that I see he apparently doesn't like this brought up, I probably won't bring it up again (at least not for a good while) although I may still engage in the discussion if someone else does. We're still allowed to discuss these things even if it doesn't end up being canon.
As for the friendzone thing, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it further but just keep in mind that the next time you see it used, the person using it might not mean anything insulting by it. That is all.
@Magus543 Dude you really don't need to prostrate yourself like this. You're entitled to your opinion, they're entitled to disagree. You've said literally nothing that sounded entitled or even questionable and in my humble opinion, they are overreacting probably because they're tired of seeing people bring this up and are conflating you with the entire mob. It's very clear to me that you were just trying to have some fun and talk about the game but they seem to have taken it as some kind of attack.
And you're DEFINITELY not being stupid for seeing the romantic undertones in Rejuvenation whether they were intentional or not. If that many girls are being that friendly towards you, you'd be an idiot for not considering that some of them might be interested in your romantically. Don't be the dense harem protagonist that needs a girl to spell it out for them in large capital letters. Even if none of them thought of you that way, there's nothing wrong with trying to pursue them anyway and maybe they'll end up liking you now that the idea has been planted in their head.
I get that you're trying to appease the devs now because they seem above human at least on these forums but you really did nothing wrong here and you are also not the only one with this opinion. Don't let their harsh response make you think otherwise.
An attack? Who's the one overreacting now? I said my piece and left, that's it. This isn't some pitchfork mob at your doorstep waiting for you to make one wrong move to justify a comeback. I don't condone harassment. You're allowed to agree or disagree with me, I'm not going to fight you on this. But my point still stands and that's just that.

Thank you for your super in depth reply! Unfortunately, it seems like my game is bugged, as Ana is not present in the location she is supposed to be in. I have combed the underground and library and spoken to everyone, to no avail. I wonder if a dev can help me out here? @Jan
I can definitely help out! Please send me your save file, and I'll take a look.

Oh come on, you don't have to put it that way. Simply wanting a romantic route with a character doesn't mean we're fetishizng them. Literally nobody here is asking you to make an eroge.
Correct. Notice how I didn't specifically comment towards the OP of the thread or anyone in particular. It was a general statement. As the game's creator I notice a lot more talk about this sort of stuff. I've seen what people have said about the female characters and it's straight up gross. Wanting a romantic route is fine. I don't have a problem with that, but for people to repeatedly ask when I said no is just annoying.

Hello, havent played Rejuv in about 3 years, came back to it the other day excited to get into a whole new game basically. I can't get past the first battle of the game as i soft reset for a Popplio and went into the battle with the first trainer. As i take down the litten, the game then gives me a bunch of error codes seems like most of them regard the scripts, and then I cant get experience or finish the battle. It looks like the image attached. Any help is appreciated as I have literally just started playing the game and I cant get past the first battle. I am also playing on Mac if that helps.
Mind lending me your save file? I don't think I've seen this error before.

1 hour ago, Magus543 said:So, considering the fact the dev team has friendzoned us with the entire Rejuv cast especially Melia, i want to use this chance to reflect on our relations with the cast. What do we mean to them? Are we really their friends, or just a tool to help them achieve victory? (Side note: I seriously find it hard to believe when designing this game and the cast, the dev team or at least Jan, never ONCE considered the dating mechanic, i mean really? Look at how waifu-ish half the ladies are in this game, especially Aelita and Nim. I've joked that at least Saki is Jan's own waifu, but hey, it's the Dev team's game and if they want to friendzone us and the cast, it's fine.) Though is it just me, or does the confirmation that Melia apparently returns Venam's romantic love feel like a rejection of us? There is a reason why a certain majority of players thought the dev team was setting up a romance between us and Melia. I personally assumed that the dev team would have set a love triangle between us, Melia and Venam, but ehh it appears it's a love triangle between Ren, Melia, and Venam.
I personally feel that Ren and Aelita are our closest friends at this point, Aelita especially considering she's like the only person who's more our friend than Melia's friend unlike say Venam, Ren, and Kanon. Considering we have such great chemistry this patch, i'd rather hang out with them than Melia, especially considering she's got her new siblings, and a reunion with Venam to prioritize. (Disclaimer: I actually like Melia and don't consider her a mary sue, but it's clear we get along more with Ren and Aelita, at least to me, and she considers the people i listed to be more important to her.)
Besides, Ren and Aelita, I would consider, Nim and Amber to be close to us. Amber in particular if you did her sidequest, plus i loved how she was genuinely trying to build a friendship with us and make amends for acting like a brat, before Venam rudely interrupted. She was totally cheering for us during the GDC Tournament, now that's a friend. Nim, because she saved us from falling back in blacksteeple, which was so unlike the rest of the NPCs who basically needed us to bail them out of problems, Nim felt like someone we could depend on and she GAVE US A BIKE AND TWISTED SPOON, i don't see other NPCs who gave us stuff like that. It's also interesting to note our PC is genuinely concerned when we reunite with Lorna.
In regards to our enemies, sure Madam X killed our mom, but i like to imagine, Geara is our personal nemesis when it comes to Team Xen outside of the head honcho, Melia has Zetta, and Aelita has Madelis, but we have Geara. Geara almost kills our friends, then frames us, is the one who singles us out during a group fight in Terujuma, and is the one who kills us the first time on Valor mountain. Plus just as a reminder, he's the first Admin to personally come hunt us down.
A dating mechanic was never considered. Just because a cast is primarily female doesn't mean they're there for people's fetishization.
I'm not here to ruin anyone's head-canons, because you do you, but just because a girl is nice to you doesn't mean they're attracted to you in any way.
Ngl, the fact that people see Melia and Venam's thing as a "rejection" is really weird. I have never done anything to personally go after the player or put them in a bad spot. Despite what players think when it comes to the Mega Ring.
Also none of the girls are my waifu because I'm not attracted to women.-

Sorry if my english is bad
It doesn't really fit anywhere? Not that I had in mind anyway. Has to take sometime after SM because of Lusamine being mentioned + Looker/Anabel.
That's probably it for canon appearances too!

Im seeing something that peak my interest, Im already seeing you guys talk about v16 and v15 and i was wondering and even thought this might not feel appropriate but How much versions are you guys going up to?; Because the way Rejuvenation is heading, I don’t t want it to stop anytime soon, the game is exhilarating, amazing and the story is way better than any main pokemon franchise game, so i just wanted to know? But if its not possible to let me know then I tottaly understand
V16 is the final episode, yes. That includes the end game + post game.
On 7/12/2019 at 3:03 PM, SilverAngelus said:I remember back in Alamissa Urben when Ren was explaining to the Interceptor on why he joined Team Xen. Crescent essentially said something on the lines of: “Think of how grateful she would be. Of how that would make her love you.” Ren immediately reacted to this and without hesitation asked what would he have to do to make that possible.
And now, Jan has confirmed Melia x Venam. My question is, will Ren and Venam (at a future point) have a fight over Melia? (I know Melia already likes Venam, but my question is more pertaining to a conflict between Venam and Ren.)
v12 spoiler
Given that Risa played some role when traversing Zone Zero, is she going to be much more involved in the story?
Also, this is more of a general question. If a trainer is mute, how would they instruct a Pokemon during a battle?
Ren did have feelings for her at some point, but after all the business he's been through... I don't think he's ready to love someone right now, or for a long time.
Risa will be appearing more in the story now, yes!
And finally, the "mute" is in insult at them rarely speaking. They do speak, but usually one off phrases/expressions.

This is still a thing! It's in his diary even at this moment. There are missing pieces but those pieces will be given to everyone soon :].

Do you have any... non-spoiler moments that involve the "Lightened Siblings?" (The four, you know who). Just, not fighting or having the fate of the world, just... spending time together and getting to know each other. Besides two of them (and they've got their own issues) they never even knew each other before recently, let alone that they were family. I just... I'm a sucker for sweet moments, and I'm pretty sure that the moments between them will be really sweet.
Sweet moments are what I live for. Expect them in the future :]

I'm sorry if this is all ready explained in v12, I haven't finished it yet on account of a combination loosing my save file and playing way to much Minecraft Bedwars with my friend (who don't play rejuv, smh)
They hate each other because each one thinks the other are responsible for the event (When in reality it was none of them)

Neverwinter is the name of a city in the Artrica Region. People just refer to it as Neverwinter in general because the island is very small.
15 hours ago, sparsyle said:Hey so I noticed that there's a theme titled "Xenogene" in the music folder, as well as some sprites in the characters folder labeled "Xgene." Is that a reference to something outside of rejuvenation, or is it something meant to come up later in the story?
Won't go into too much detail, but they're from Zumi's cancelled fangame Pokemon Xenogene. She handed me the rights to the assets since she won't be using them anymore.
9 hours ago, captainfrost202 said:Hello. First of all I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating this amazing new version; considering the amount of time between the between the posting of the status thread and the release of the actual new version (ie the amount of development time), it is amazing how this game has not let down on any of it's habits (ie extremely hard puzzles/battles, particularly the 'gym leader' battle), and that is something that I am very grateful for.
Actually, this brings up my first question: how long does it usually take between the release of each new version? I understand that this is probably simply dependant on the amount of new content added to the game, but still some clarification would be nice since I have only started at v11.3 and am kinda new to this kind of thing.
Do you think the fields in their current state are ok? As of right now there are currently 43 fields in total in the game, and while some have seen more representation than the others (for obvious, understandable reasons, and I have little doubt that all of them will be shown at one point of the game or another, eventually) there are some fields that feel so much stronger while some of the others seem really underpowered *cough*starlight arena being simply nullified by any weather *cough* (on a glance anyway, I have seen plenty of boss battles convince me otherwise) . Are you satisfied with the current state of the fields on the whole, or do you think some of them could use reworks (small or massive alike) to feel more in line with the others? Is field balance even a concern regarding the overall balance of the game, or is it fine for some fields to be better overall while others are on the weaker side? Also, are there any plans for more fields to be added in the future?
This one is a bit more story related, but is Alexandra actually the champion like it has been rumored by many? If yes, will she bring this up sometime later on in the story? And if not, will we get to meet whoever the actual champion is before battling them at the league?
Thanks in advance!
Release depends on the scope of the episode. V11 took almost a year. V12 took half a year. With Gen 8 and some things I have planned, it may take a long time again. We'll see though.
As for fields, we're constantly changing things. Just a version ago we did a massive overhaul of the Volcanic Top field. Some fields like Starlight will probably get a change as well but as for specifics, I can't really say. We do have a few new fields in mind, but there won't be a ton left more. Probably 2 or 3. But that can always change.
I can't answer the last question

They're with the Eldest right now!
7 hours ago, Magus543 said:Okay, hope i don't screw this up, But when deciding Melia's team, or really any anyone in our growing scooby doo gang, does anything influence it? Like how did Melia's team have a shiny Gardevoir like Vitus to going to a Shiny Hydreigon named Unity? also nice touch on the new shinies BTW.
Edit: Also Do you worry about juggling various plot threads and characters? And how to resolve them?
We decide based off personality, type preference, design, story. Some teams parallel each other to match each other. Like Zetta's shiny type:null/Silvally and Melia's general shiny team.
I worry a bit but I do like the challenge. Character switching was designed to handle multiple threads and so far I think it's worked out pretty nicely. I don't expect it to be too hard from here on out now that we got a lot out of the way!
Huge mega thread. Hopefully I answered all of your questions well. There were quite a few!

4 hours ago, The Bookworm said:Hi! So, this is a hard one to explain i think:
We all know that there is some kind of problem when in battles, there is a small amount of time between the moment you select an attack and the animation. The thing is, somehow that time increased a lot in my game, and when i resetted the game, a pokemon that fainted in battle was asleep and with the health bar in red. The rest of my team (which was at full health) appeared with the health bar at red, excepting for one pokemon.
Thanks in advance and great game guys, keep it up
Btw, this is my second save file (alternate run with different decisionsI), in the first one there were no issues
This could be caused by a number of things. Namely computer strength. I recommend closing out some things to see if that helps.

1,) Personally speaking, I don't really like debug mod. I think it's abused and it makes my hard work feel meaningless sometimes. That being said I can't really stop anyone from using it, nor do I really want to deal with the backlash of doing so. I just let it exist.
2.) Probably not, sorry.
3.) Yes, they will. Some choices are starting to take effect right now actually.

44 minutes ago, interdiction said:Thanks for the answer, Zumi! Sorry if my question was kind of obvious in hindsight. If it's not an issue to ask anything else, I'm wondering about a few things gameplay-related.
1. Are Crests done being implemented in V12 or will they continue to be implemented throughout future versions? The crest I'm holding out for (Furret) is likely in the area of being difficult to salvage like Delcatty, though, and I won't ask if any specific Crest is going to be implemented. Also, what are the personal favorite Crests of the dev team? Ledian's Crest is absolutely hilarious and singlehandedly makes me want to train one for V13!
2. This one's a bit more of a spoiler.
Ryland's normal portrait being teased was a pretty fun fake-out! But will fighting certain Leaders or Trainers you don't normally fight be saved for the postgame, or are there plans for optional battles with characters like un-possessed Ryland (though I don't know how much that would change his team), Lavender (assuming you don't end up battling her later, like if she hypothetically became an E8 member or was controlled or something like that, or even a friendly battle that's still part of the main story), or Talon (who presumably should be okay in V12 if they were able to un-petrify Venam)?
3. Where did the increased focus on playing on other characters temporarily starting with V11 come from? While some of the segments in V11 kind of wore me out, I thought it was done much better in V12 (as well as it appearing that they are now properly EV trained, perfectly natured and IVed, where before the guest parties had no EVs and seemingly random natures.)
especially implementing a regular JRPG style party split puzzle-dungeon! Handling changing the player character's team so often must have been hell to event/script. As I hadn't gotten around to EV training on my main Normal difficulty save (though with how much easier it became in V12, I don't really have an excuse now
), Aelita and Ren's teams were better than my own!
1.) We still have plans for future crests! They will probably be made until around v15, but who even knows at this point?
2.) Those will probably be saved for Post Game. Though I wouldn't mind throwing in a friendly battle here or there.
3.) Along with the power of the interceptor, I wanted to show that the Player isn't the only one getting stuff done. I thought it would be fun to show the perspective of other characters and how they deal with situations.
And yes... That area was Literal Hell. It took a long time to tune up and even now it gives slight trouble.

Tbh this is a good question. I don't think I could ever play rejuv from start to finish on a whim anymore. I've played it so many times. Hundreds of times. At this point I don't even have my own save file anymore because
I constantly switch saves to test things. Maybe when it's finally done I can sit down and play it.

21 minutes ago, Autumn Zephyr said:Oooh, that's interesting~! I always did personally how the drifblim-specific items were able to pump it up a bit without forcing it to lose its Unburden access (I swear that Ability was busted in PMD2), though I'll admit that I didn't think of this mechanic specifically until I found out that the Silvally Crest was reworked to more greatly resemble the base mechanic. Though now I'm wondering if the king of Iesei (I think I misspelled that >_>;) would've had any significant role in the worldbuilding prior, aside from maybe being the ruler of yet another currently nameless kingdom.
On a different note, is there any particular reason why Zygarde doesn't seem to have taken any action to stop the Calamity? It's kinda the sort of thing it's supposed to stop, after all.

Will Zetta be relevant again? He is my personal favorite character and it really sucked how he was basically written from the story. He is one guy i absolutely wanna save and befriend.
Is there a reason we cant get more than 6 character sprites as a choice? I feel like girl characters are made way better and guy sprites are extremely generic and underwhelming, while i loved some of the previous ones, the one with long red hair in particular. Will we be able to get more character choices or is it final?
Was there a particular reason Protagonist wont have romance options nor some VN-like routes in the end? I personally think this is something community will support wholeheartedly and the choice to exclude it just baffles me.
Also personal question, its no secret that time travel is a bi**h to write as a plot device and it leaves an astounding amount of plotholes, what was your thought process when including this? Werent you afraid this would cause problems in the long run?-In Erin's defense she's not really paying attention to who you are-- She's trying to get the library to lose business because they played her. She probably did recognize you, but didn't think it was important enough to mention.
-Zetta isn't gone for good, that's all I'll say.
-Yeah, the reason is workload. Each sprite has around 8? sprite sets. With secondary outfits (and future ones!) it multiplies each time. So the number of sprites that need to be made are.... A Lot. Besides I also animate the player's sprite sometimes during cutscenes and I just don't have the motivation to do more than 6 lol.
-As for romance, I just don't feel comfortable doing it. I don't really like games that turn harem-ish. It's just a personal turn off. Anything more than subtle and it just gets awkward for me. Sorry if that answer is disappointing.
-It's a bitch and that's why I chose to do it. I'm not afraid. I know I'm not perfect and I will make mistakes. Rejuv is just a trial run for me, long term. A very fun trial run, at that!

So i've been replaying v12 from the beginning, and there was a small event with a blue model of Erin when you enter Magnolia library, blue hair, blue clothes, in the very beginning, and i think it was already there in v11.
Is it some leftovers from previous versions and should not be in the game? Or is it actually part of the story?
Also is there a chance of more people appearing in the game as NPC's as a result of some sort of maybe contests or lottery or smth like Ice Cream Sand Witch?They're just cameos before their official appearance! It's the same Erin but with blue hair. She likes to dye her hair. Flora, Jenkel, Rune, Huey, Dylan all have appearances like this.
Just a little something I did to make the world feel more alive, and that these characters actually exist before their debut.
I have an NPC reward on my patreon, but I'm not opposed to doing something like a lottery or a contest for something like that. We'll see. There's a lot more NPCs that need to be made :]

So since you have admitted that Venam and Melia are in love, I'm curious about this. When exactly did Jan plan that? Was it gonna be like that from the start of the game since V1 came out or did that pop into his mind as he continued making the game?
I can't say from the beginning because that wouldn't be true. Up to around Angie, I was just going with the flow because I thought I was going to quit soon. V6 was the version I decided to actually take the project seriously and put together something. So I'd say around then.
10 minutes ago, reaper. said:okay so first of all, thank you for this wonderful game. i really love what you people have done and how much invested i am in this. i can only imagine if you had the budget of an actual studio and these were your primary jobs what could've been the result. and then more of a question its like a request if an eternal flower floette could be put in the game with its signature much. i really wanted to use that pokemon but havent been able to so far in any game at all and i was hoping i could use it in rejuv. ik its a silly request but if any way it could be possible maybe you devs could think about it please? and again thank you for rejuv. i absolutely love it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Unfortunately I don't have plans for Eternal Flower Floette, but it's not completely off the table, I suppose. It's just sort of weird to release something that hasn't even been released officially. Not that I've followed the rules of official games anyway.
9 minutes ago, Autumn Zephyr said:I think I already know what sort of answer I'm gonna get for this one, but I'll ask anyway: Seeing as the episode subtly revealed that the Garufa were not only a society of skilled mages, but also quite technologically advanced (I wonder how many other people bothered reading the doors in the ark), how likely is it that the latter will have a role in the mechanics in upcoming versions?
On a slightly different note, how early were the Crests planned to be a thing before the implementation in V11?
Guaranteed to have a major role. Truths will start to come out very soon!
As for Crests, they're an idea I came up with at the end of v10. It started because I forced myself to play with Delcatty on a personal playthrough of Emerald. It was so bad that I wished there was something in the game similar to Pikachu's Light Ball to make it viable. Then I decided to look up if there were anything similar to the Light Ball and came across the Mystery Dungeon series. Apparently they have Pokemon specific items that act as passive buffs? I thought that was really cool and decided to bring it to Rejuv. I had no idea how people would receive this mechanic because it'd be bordering on the fine line of fake megas (Even though technically fakemon do exist).
It's why some of the early crests were so basic. Just stat increases. We wanted to test the waters with it first before we did anything too drastic.
Surprisingly, people love them. Which is great because I love Crests too. Not as much as Griselda, though. That's just unhealthy.
Edit: Forgot to mention, but ironically, the Pokemon that inspired Crests didn't get one because nothing we could do for it would save it, rip.

Any plans for more "where love lies" like parts?
WWL did much better than I thought it would, so I'm happy to say that I do have plans for other side games. Not many though as I'd like to focus most of my time on the main game.

Yeah at the start of the game i remember that at oceana pier there is a buizel you can get by having a gourmet thingy, but as i have it and speak with the buizel nothing happens and as i verified it on rpg maker the battle event aint there only the no gourmet action and the after battle action to make the sprite dissapear.
This isn't bugged. The event was just changed. Go into the buildings in the pier and talk to some of the npcs.

Won't be in V12, but I have plans for a sort of "journal" that keeps track of information for you so that you don't have to remember every single detail to get what's going on!

I understand the Dynamaxing but the raid battles could be a cool edition to Rejuvination’s multiplayer features, (I’m assuming you will eventually add online support to the game as Reborn did.) The idea of a Raid battle versus a Rift mon, or even some Rift mons that are exclusively fought through this feature would be amazing. You should reconsider
Problem is, I don't think raid battles can work well, if at all, in RMXP. The screen is far too small, and double battles already lag the game. Imagine having more than 4 on screen + server stability... Yeah that sounds like a rip.

At this stage of the game, I'm probably going to skip out on Dynamaxing and Raid Battles. Especially since Dynamax is just a merge of Z moves and Megas, and Raid Battles are... yeah, no. Those aside, I will be adding in new moves, Pokemon, abilities, items, etc.

But I mean, Jan clearly loves Xenoblade. He outright confirmed it. Even if you didn’t read his confirmation, you can tell from the Interceptor being a plot element, “Ether” being a thing in Rejuvenation, and of course, the name Melia being used.
I don’t think Jan plays much Final Fantasy.
Er... Ether was already a thing in Pokemon canon. And the concept of The Interceptor is definitely not something Xenoblade created. Also I literally already answered this question before. I just like the name.
45 minutes ago, Sardines said:Gamer, the real question is:
Why is Melia's name "Melia", and not "Aerith" or "Tifa" as a reference to clearly everyone's favorite game The Final Fantasy 7Shite, you right.

It has been brought to my attention that it's been a Hot Minute(tm) since I've shown anything new.
Lemme fix that!
Some say, that in v12, the Odd Tower, is Oddly Gone.... kind of.
Spoiler
Odd Tower serves the same purpose, but is more "relevant" to the overall story. The old tower was more relevant for Old Rejuv's plot, which doesn't line up anymore, so... Yeah!
Those who have opened all 9 doors in the Wispy Ruins may find a new path opened to them in this mysterious tower.
What treasure may sleep inside? I'm sure some of you might have an idea...
Spoiler
v12 is over halfway done as of writing this, but the last segments may take the longest. Thanks for being patient :]

Falco Lombardi is my favorite Pokémon.
Also, Is Jan a fan of the Xeno franchise? Or more specifically, Xenoblade?
You literally named one of the main characters in your game Melia.
It’s like if I made a fan game and named one of the main characters Raiden, made him an albino, and gave him a mentor figure named Iroquois Pliskin.
A little late on the realization there.
About 11 versions late, to be exact.Melia's an actual name that I can use because it's not copyrighted. So, I did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯6 hours ago, Dave9 said:Thanks for helping me, I already have a mareep I'm going to ev train and I got the litwick (unfortunately it's a female so I can't name it Jan)
Name it Jan anyway, imo.

It's funny because a few hours ago I was thinking "Huh. I'm surprised Jan hasn't posted a V12 thread yet." 10 minutes later and the thread shows up.
It's funny because I only put up the thread yesterday out of impulse.

Really? It's sorta weird hearing people express their surprise about the status thread already being up. I was stressing myself out because I thought a month was too long, haha.

repatch the game (not the full download) or get the micro fix on the main thread.
