Do you have Patch 12.2 installed? If not, go to the V12 download thread and get the patch from there. It should resolve the error you have.

The OP has been finally updated to contain links to V12 threads and guides! Will continue to update this thread with helpful links as time goes on.

Please understand that we're doing our best to work on the game! Gen 8 implementation is simply taking a lot of time and is the main reason progression is slow (lots of balancing changes due to the addition of gen 8 mons and some mechanics being implemented are dependent on it), but V13 as a whole has a ton of content -- to the point that V12 seems meager in comparison. Not to mention that most of us also have other obligations (most devs are college/uni students, but some are occupied with work as well), so not everyone can work full time on the game, but even then it's still a voluntary project. It might be a while until V13 comes out, but, well... I can't give out any details, but I personally think that for what you're getting in V13 the wait is going to be worth it. Or well, so I hope! It's a subjective matter after all, buuuuut I personally think that there's a ton of really fucking cool content planned for this version which we're very excited to share with you when V13's ready. Please be patient with us as we chip away at the work we have left to do!

This is a known bug to us but was discovered after patch 2 got released. It's fixed for V13, so in the case you see anyone else run into the same problem, please tell them to revert to an older save before hopping on the train.

Ame pretty frequently posts about it on her Patreon as patron exclusive content, so if you want frequent updates you should consider supporting her there!

Hey hey all! Figured I'd be giving a little update on Gen 8 sprite progression! Not counting the shinies, we're over halfway done with all the sprites -- 62% of them are done, to be exact!! HELLA. We have a vast majority of the front sprites (we're literally only missing like... 10) with a couple still needing some cleanup as some of the sprites we collected were not quite suitable yet for use within essentials. The biggest chunk of work still lies within the backsprites, of which we're still missing plenty... But fortunately, yours truly is planning to make a decent dent in that amount of remaining sprites this week! There's been a bit of stagnation with the sprites -- I'm just as guilty of it -- but it's gotten to a point where I'm just thinking that the sooner Gen 8 implementation is done, the faster we can shift gears and focus on V13 itself. Hopefully this'll let us pick up the pace! For now, have some Nickit and Thievul sprites! The original front sprites were done by KingOfThe-X-Roads, while I cleaned the sprites up and did their backsprites.

Ok so after listening to the video you linked, I know why your video got flagged LOL... The sample you hear first thing in the video you linked is the same one I used for Rejuvenation's intro music, as it's a free sample provided in Mixcraft, which I still used back then. The algorithm probably mistook it for that song! Also honestly if you're in doubt, just turn down the music volume in your computer's volume mixer and make sure to talk over it, that way you'll have less of a risk to get flagged.

I actually haven't gotten around to editing them to match the colors better along with generally blending in better but I'll do so soon! ...Or alternatively, we can opt to not have anything for the base at all, but for consistency's sake i'll look into the former first.

Correct, though you could also say the last one is for the Forest of Time, as they share backgrounds, next to the filename being called BattleBgTime! The old background that is currently in Rejuvenation being used for daytime, evening and nighttime are old backgrounds I made roughly 2-3 years ago, so just to give a little comparison for a before and after... Not only is the new background better in quality overall, the background has become significantly easier to edit for alternate forest fields due to only having a limited color palette and now being fully done in pixel art rather than being a blurry mess. It should save us a lot of time in the future, at the very least! I'm probably going to add a couple of smaller unique details to some of these fields instead of keeping them as just recolors (especially Darchlight!), so look forward to the fully polished backgrounds in V13! :]

Oof, I don't think that's a known bug! Thanks for letting us know, we'll make sure to have it fixed in the next version.

whoops i completely forgot to post these here last week, here's some silly doodles i did while i was waiting for the smash dlc to come out LOL

Most fun one? Hands down Ryland's fucked up VS portrait from V12. Made that one entirely from scratch and had SO much fun working on it. I don't draw stuff like that very often, but I enjoy drawing creepy stuff from time to time! The least fun? god damn eternatus for the Gen 8 addition in v13, aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'd probably only tell myself which people I initially associated with but ended up being troublesome LOL, that's it. Everything else just kinda came naturally which I feel like it's best that it happened as such.

fuck this, in all capital letters and with six million exclamation marks. like hell i'm gonna do that LOL, that's just too much work... not to mention the fact that it lags the game real hard 1) 2nd place + 1st public's choice award + Plume of excellence for the manner in which the actors on the float were integrated into the environment, so I'd say pretty well! I actually have a presentation tomorrow evening for the workgroup to properly explain the new design for the upcoming year, so I'll be designing again this year, and probably the year after this still as well! 2) Dark blonde! I haven't had my natural hair color since I was like... 11-12 years old, though. My mom used blonde spray on my hair to lighten it a little bit before I started actively dyeing it in 2014, and I've had the red hair since late 2014 - early 2015. I dye my hair every 3-5 months or so! 3) It's generally pretty peaceful??? Not a whole lot happens here. I don't care much for the country itself as much as I simply love the town I live in, because of its community and me feeling I'm actually able to be a part of it somehow 4) There's unfortunately, despite the peace, a relatively large amount of people who are xenophobic, lol... People tend to hate immigrants. 5) yeah

New character art for Melia (1st appearance), Ren (1st appearance), Venam (1st appearance), Zetta, Nim, Aelita (1st appearance), Keta and Madelis along with icons has been added!

Soooo... It's finally time to show the full versions off of the character art for Rejuvenation's early game characters! As most of you are probably well aware, a good couple of these characters have different appearances/outfits later in the game, but I will be drawing art for those as well. For the time being, here's the plot-relevant characters up to Carotos mountain -- Melia (1st appearance), Ren (1st appearance), Venam (1st appearance), Zetta, Nim, Aelita (1st appearance), Keta and Madelis! ...Yes, I forgot Eli and Sharon. And Amanda. Eli & Sharon will be included in the next batch though!! And Amanda I'll be keeping for West Gearen characters for.... Reasons you can probably all appreciate. :] *cough* her battle right before erick's battle catching me off guard every fucking time *cough cough couGH COUGH* Either way, all of the individual transparent character artworks can be found in the Official art thread! There's also a bunch of icons I made of the new art that you can use if you want in that thread as well, so feel free to check it out

bruh you can quit it with the "..." stuff now, everyone's already moved past it except you lol

hello yes i have actually done something gen 8 related this week outside of the character art and that's making the got dam bone snake's -- aka Eternatus -- hell backsprite. i already did the front sprite back in December but i kept putting it OFF because iiiiiiiiiii knew this sprite was going to give me pain and guess what! it sure fucking did. jesus christ almighty i am DEAD but anyways take these. u'll be seeing these in game at some point. when? i do not know!!!!!! i actually really don't know LOL so don't read into it pls, but i had to make them anyways because of the gen 8 project so u'll get to see them in the graphics folder at the very least!!!!!! also u know im frustrated when i decide to write forum posts in the same way i normally talk on discord. this sprite can eat big stinky doodoo for all i care >:^(

Yep! His VS portrait in-game actually has been changed slightly as well to match his official art better, as I felt it's more visible what a sorry state the poor guy actually is in like this. The differences between his normal and his spirit portrait are much more clear now, too! I've put a comparison in the spoilers.

But wait! There's more!

Taking a short break from Gen 8 spriting to work on something else that's probably a little overdue....
