  1. Hey all! Who's ready for the Winter revel?!

     

    If you do not know what the heckle deckle frick frack a Winter revel is, go check out the post here first!

     

    As a lot of the people who have been at a previous party know, the Hunger Games simulator sessions have become a party staple over the years, and are always exciting to watch unfold.

     

    yknow. because you get stuff like this.

    I've had the pleasure of hosting it almost every time, and during the previous party we made use of the site's feature that allows for custom events to be added to the simulator--to give it that extra Reborn Flavor(TM)--but we only added stuff that we thought of with the staff team. This winter party however, we want YOUR suggestions for custom events to be added to the simulator, so we can make an almost entirely custom experience!

     

    So... how can I help?

    First off, you'll need to know about how the event formatting works. Here's a basic breakdown of what you need to know:

    • Events that happen during the Bloodbath (start of the game), Day, Night, Feast (usually only once, randomly in the middle of a simulation), or an Arena event (can happen multiple times during a simulation).
      • Events that happen during these can be both fatal and non-fatal.
    • A singular event can involve a maximum of 6 people.
      • When making an event, make sure to add (Player#) where a player’s name goes.
      • Also add (he/she#), (him/her#), (his/her#), (himself/herself#) where each number indicates the player number's gender.
        • Unfortunately, there's no they/them support. Sorry NB folks, I wish it was different too :(
    • Make sure to make clear whether an event is fatal or not!
      • When making a fatal event, make sure to specify who is the killer and who gets killed. Sometimes you don't even need to specify a killer if the person dies through other means.

     

    Now this sounds relatively complicated, so it's probably easier to just show some examples on as of how you should format your submissions. A couple of examples that are acceptable (and also just plucked directly from the site lmao):

     

    Bloodbath

    This takes place at the START of each game. Only happens once, the gist is that people usually gather supplies or run away during this moment in the game.

    Spoiler

    Non-fatal

     

    (Player1), (Player2), and (Player3) work together to get as many supplies as possible.
    Tributes: 3

     

    (Player1) gathers as much food as (he/she1) can.
    Tributes: 1

     

    Fatal:

     

    (Player1) steps off (his/her1) podium too soon and blows up.
    Tributes: 1
    Killer: None
    Killed: Player1

     

    (Player1) severely injures (Player2), but puts (him/her2) out of (his/her2) misery.
    Tributes: 2
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player2

     

    Day:

    Generic events that can happen during the daytime in the simulation.

    Spoiler

    Non-fatal

     

    (Player1), (Player2), (Player3), and (Player4) raid (Player5)'s camp while (he/she5) is hunting.
    Tributes: 5

     

    (Player1) makes a slingshot.
    Tributes: 1

     

    Fatal

     

    (Player1) attempts to climb a tree, but falls to (his/her1) death.
    Tributes: 1
    Killer: None
    Killed: Player1

     

    (Player1) shoots an arrow at (Player2), but misses and kills (Player3) instead.
    Tributes: 3
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player3

     

    Night:

    Same thing as Day; generic events that can happen during nighttime in the simulation.

    Spoiler

    Non-fatal

     

    (Player1) and (Player2) run into each other and decide to truce for the night.
    Tributes: 2

     

    (Player1), (Player2), and (Player3) cheerfully sing songs together.
    Tributes: 3

     

    Fatal

     

    (Player1) kills (Player2) while (he/she2) is sleeping.
    Tributes: 2
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player2

     

    (Player1), (Player2), and (Player3) successfully ambush and kill (Player4), (Player5), and (Player6).
    Tributes: 6
    Killer: Player1, Player2, Player3
    Killed: Player4, Player5, Player6

     

    Feast:
    This can happen randomly during the simulation. The center of the arena gets restocked with supplies, and allows for more interactions between the players.

    Spoiler

    Non-fatal

     

    (Player1) destroys (Player2)'s memoirs out of spite.
    Tributes: 2

     

    (Player1), (Player2), and (Player3) confront each other, but grab what they want slowly to avoid conflict.
    Tributes: 3

     

    Fatal

     

    (Player1), (Player2), and (Player3) start fighting, but (Player2) runs away as (Player1) kills (Player3).
    Tributes: 3
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player3

     

    (Player1) sets an explosive off, killing (Player2), (Player3), (Player4) and (Player5).
    Tributes: 5
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player2, Player3, Player4, Player5

     

    Arena events:

    Events that can suddenly turn the tides on a lot of games! Usually brings a lot of carnage. The difference between Arena events and the other types is that you will have to spell out a whole list of events to happen during said event. An arena event has a premise, 1 non-fatal event (the default is (Player1) survives.), and 5 different fatal events. Make sure your event is complete!

    Spoiler

    Carnivorous squirrels start attacking the tributes.
     

    Non-fatal

     

    (Player1) survives.
    Tributes: 1

     

    Fatal


    (Player1) is brutally attacked by a scurry of squirrels.
    Tributes: 1
    Killer: None
    Killed: Player1

    (Player1) tries to kills as many squirrels as (he/she1) can, but there are too many.
    Tributes: 1
    Killer: None
    Killed: Player1

    (Player1) uses the squirrels to (his/her1) advantage, shoving (Player2) into them.
    Tributes: 2
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player2

    (Player1), in agony, kills (Player2) so (he/she2) does not have to be attacked by the squirrels.
    Tributes: 2
    Killer: Player1
    Killed: Player2

    The squirrels separate and kill (Player1) and (Player2).
    Tributes: 2
    Killer: None
    Killed: Player1, Player2

     

    And if you're still unsure on how to format your stuff, you can find the list of default events on the site here.

     

    It'd be awesome if we could get a ton of different events to replace the default events with! But, as you should expect...

     

    There are some rules.

    If you do not adhere to said rules, your submissions will not be considered for being added to the simulator, so make sure to read them, keep them in mind or we'll just skip right over them!

     

    • Reborn's rules apply by default. This is not a chance to bypass them, even if it's an opportunity to go a bit more wild with shenanigans. Keep it funny, keep it respectful. If you're guilty of breaking a rule in your submissions (i.e. usage of derogatory language), you will still get a warning and your submission will promptly be removed.
    • If you have more than 5 submissions or have an arena event to submit, please put everything in a spoiler. This'll prevent the thread from becoming impossibly long to scroll through!
    • Don't be too obscure with your references in your submissions. Please submit things that people can easily recognize! We don't want people to feel left out on inside jokes, so make sure that if you make a reference to something, it's a well known joke within the community. Think of stuff like Ame's Great Dislike of Budew, people falling out of trees in the hg sim, honey, staff shenanigans... etc. etc.
    • PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SPECIFY IF IT'S A BLOODBATH/FEAST/DAY/NIGHT/ARENA EVENT. It makes things a lot easier to sort through and add!

     

    Also, not necessarily a rule, but please balance out non-fatal events as much as possible with fatal events so we have a greater variety of custom things we can add! The more default things we can replace, the better, really -- get creative! There's a surprising amount of things you can die from (as morbid as it sounds), so let's make it a real, uh....

     

    reborn community inspired experience!!

    yeah!!!!!!

     

    Looking forward to all of your suggestions, and hopefully see you all at the Winter Revel to watch the chaos unfold during the Reborn edition Hunger games sim sessions!

    Oh no, I didn't mean that. I meant that, for example, the details you choose to include or not might suggest what might be important later in the story. Or what you emphasize when you describe things etc.

    Again, it's a matter of phrasing, lol. If you don't know the context to the details, they won't be much of a spoiler.

    Isn't there a worry that an official storyline summary might spoil the later parts? Like because of how it describes things, and what it decides to include/exclude.

    Well, if the story is told in chronological order as shown in the game as the summary should be, there's no need to worry about spoilers, since you can just read up to where you want. It's your own risk in the end, and not the responsibility of the person writing the summary as long as it's written as intended and doesn't have spoilers strewn through it in places where it's not appropriate.

  4. There's an incomplete summary of the game on TV Tropes here (up to chapter 11) along with a bunch of notes on characters here. After v13 we plan to make a complete summary of the story for on the Rejuvenation wiki, but due to that V13 comes along with revisions to quite a handful of story segments, it's redundant to us to have a summary written as of right now as a lot of stuff would have to be rewritten once V13 is out.

     

    If you want a complete walkthrough of the game, Nine Icy Tails recently did a 100% playthrough of the game, meaning that you can probably look stuff back up there in video format if you so desire. Narcissa's quest should be included in it.

     

    As for the alien cow sidequest.... just don't worry about it. 👀

    Since the FAQ is closed i'm going to ask this question here,

     

    regarding the Gmax Mons being converted to custom megas, how will you guys handle the mons that have both mega evolution and Gmax-Form ?

    Example: Gengar and the Kanto Starters.

     

    Will you add them as alternative megas like Zard X and Zard Y ? Or will you leave them out ?

     

    Also since they will be converted into Mega Pokemon, will they gain new abilites up on evolving ?

    They'll be treated as custom megas in the purest sense, and therefore mons that already have a mega will just get an extra alt mega evo (for Charizard, it'll have X, Y and G in that case)

     

    And yes, some will have new abilities upon mega evolving! However, I won't be specifying which ones, so you'll just have to figure it out once V13 is out :]

    Nevermind I installed it properly this time, thanks for your help, but sometimes the game crashes when being loaded says script is hanging is that normal?

    If the script is hanging that might just be a PC problem. You can try running the unofficial MKXP port of the game (which uses a newer engine) and see if it helps the problem, but otherwise I don't think that's something we can really do anything about since that is mostly an user-to-user based issue.

    I already did it didn't work, please help me.

    Can you show a screenshot of the error that shows up? Because the patch should get rid of the error altogether, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Are you sure you installed the patch correctly?

    I can't play the game anymore since I whenever I encounter a wild pokemon my game crashes, I'm was trying to do the narcissa sidequest when I found out, also it says the problem is caused by using the black flute but I did not use black flute maybe just once, I discarded the flute items I got from itemfinder as well.

    Please download the 12.2 patch in the V12 thread, this fixes your issue.

    Is it true that they already have custom shinies for all of Gen8? I'm new to spriting, but was inspired to try after recently starting rejuvenation, and really wanted to try and see if I could get good enough to have a shiny sprite in v13.

    We already made the shinies for Gen 8, yeah. All of them came from the dev team itself, sorry if you wanted to get yours in!

    Yeah and one detail that gets ignored is that the protag and nancy were coming from unova

    Wait, they were? When is that said?

    ok i lied not my only time responding to this thread, but i'd not look into this too deep considering that this bit of information has become obsolete in the current iteration of the game (and any future ones as well). While this was indeed something mentioned during the game's intro on the S.S. Oceana in older versions, it's no longer accurate and it's probably best to just let it slide! It's a remnant of the older versions of the game and no longer holds any value lmao

    Also on the subject of Pokemon I've always wondered how you guys decided on teams for various characters? Mostly Melia, Ren, etc or the various Xen admins. Or would that be too spoilery?

    I don't make the teams, but I'm pretty sure it's a mix of it having fit the character thematically, along with difficulty. Some characters are known to have a bias for certain types (or in Erin's case, color) so it becomes automatically easier to work with. It's finding a healthy balance of what makes sense for the character and what is strong enough for at that point in the game. Most rival characters let go of their type bias however, and just received teams that are more all-round than anything else, but still work with their characters.

     

    I'm sure Alex or Azery would probably be able to enlighten you more on the matter, but I'm pretty sure that what I said is the gist of it.

    Wait, where are you guys getting Gyarados from?

    Fal (Falirion) was doing a run with Gyarados to show that it's possible to solo Rejuv intense for almost the entirety of the game with Gyarados. Gyarados is currently not legally obtainable in the game as they were debugged in, but it IS pretty undeniable proof that putting it as obtainable anytime soon is a bad idea LOL

    It's also interesting Deagan is dark skinned like Alexandra and Damien but Kenneth isn't. It's just, odd to me. Because the brothers don't resemble each other AT ALL.

    The one time I'm actually gonna respond to this topic to clarify something; it's really just genetics! Kenneth and Deagan are basically the in-game equivalent of hispanic, and hispanic people vary quite a bit in skin tone. Deagan and Kenneth likely have different complexions as the result of their parents having different complexions as well, kinda like how Amber inherited Deagan's complexion while Tesla's skin is lighter than Amber's.

     

    And uh... Let's not mention that Kenneth's been through some shit. His health absolutely has taken a huge toll over the course of time -- He's a lot paler as Keta as he probably would've been had he been healthier.

  14. I'm not going to pin this or make a whole dev blog post about it, but today I spent some time making a character sorter!

     

    xYIO2Ms.png   u8Sxcgc.png

     

    Essentially it allows you to pick your favourite between two characters from a selection of predetermined characters, and will keep doing so until it's done sorting. After it's done, it'll show a table with a ranking from most to least favourite character based on the characters you picked in each battle. Kinda looks like the image below! There's only 24 in the image, but the list went all the way to 82. There's also options to filter by chapter, affiliation, or filter out specific genders or the rift mons. That way you can get your faves from any specific set of characters you want!

     

    TjMRWIf.png

     

    There's about 88 characters and rift mons in the sorter right now, but I might add more characters later down the road (probably with only sprites for icons though -- mostly because there's no official art for a lot of characters). You might be busy for a while going through them.

     

    Feel free to post your results here! Or, if you find mistakes for some filters, please let me know as well. There might be some oversights, but I'll do my best to fix them ASAP.

     

    Enjoy!

  15. We've always been aware of the possibility of receiving a C&D, and are prepared for it in the case it happens. Reborn as a whole though is a different story, but it seems to be a recurring theme that fangames only receive C&D upon its champion release, so it's possible that the unfinished games will remain untouched.

     

    Either way, we'll find a way to avoid getting hit by the hammer prematurely, so I wouldn't worry too much about it for now. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
