Aaaaand.... Here's batch 2 of the character art!
Like I said previously, I had the sketches all ready to go, so I figured I'd just go ahead and finish the rest today. Here's the Blacksteeple Castle arc crew, featuring Valarie, Saki, Adam, Nancy, Neved and finally, Madame X!
Oh, and if the art seems a little out of proportion it's because all the resized versions are at 800px height. You can find a link to the proper full resolution artwork in the official art thread as per usual, along with icons of the characters!
The art looks incredible as always; my favorite from this batch would have to be Valarie as it does a good job of expressing her personality.

@MhicKy @Gastronely @Edo I greatly appreciate your kind words, but I'm more than willing to let bygones be bygones in this instance as it was just a simple misunderstanding. Now let us all get back to appreciating Zumi's fantastic artwork.

What's inappropriate about calling a character "cute"?!
Nothing is inappropriate about calling a character cute, I was simply apologizing for any misunderstanding the previous poster may have had upon reading my initial comment.

New character art has been made!
While you're waiting for V13, here's some more official art of the characters! This time around Marianette, Indriad, Eli, Sharon, Geara and Narcissa got their art done.
...But there's more on the way! I have sketches ready for another six characters, so you'll be seeing those soon too -- in fact, next up is... The Blacksteeple castle arc crew. hoooh.
As per usual, you can find back all the character artwork, a link to full resolution versions and bonus icons in the Official art thread! Make sure to check it out if you want to see them!
Amazing artwork as always, Zumi. I especially like the Maria/Marianette picture as it's very, very cute.

I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we care a lot about your well-being, and the well-being of all the developers. I'm more than happy to offer you whatever support I can muster during these trying times.

We're still working on the game! Even if all the IRL stuff is a bunch of hot garbage that's slowing down progress, the project hasn't come to a total standstill. In fact, Jan is still making slow but steady progress on maps (and some updates), and the balance nerds (aka Azery and Alex) have been helping change the encounter rosters for each location to include Gen 8 mons, as well has started to change up teams for fights. And, I myself spent the past 4 days or so finishing a huge chunk of the work that was on my own to-do list! The last major thing I still have to do is the cover art really, aside from that it's only a handful of minor things, and working on completing all the Gmax form sprites for the gen 8 project.
It's a lot of busywork, but it's still work that needs to happen nonetheless. I took some time this week to put everything in a row what'll be in V13 in terms of content and... I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but V13 is absolutely fucking huge. It might sound like an exaggeration, but there's just so much LMAO..... I sincerely can't describe it any other way. We've still got a lot of work ahead of us, and trust me when I say that the patience you guys have is very, very much appreciated. We know it's getting close to a year since V12 came out, but development for V13 started late due to us waiting for SwSh to release for the Gen 8 implementation, so everything's just taking a little longer than usual!
On a final note, we won't go on total radio silence! When the time is right, we'll probably be showing off some more stuff when we've gotten further with development. Or we'll just tease you guys a little bit because it can't be a proper Rejuv dev cycle without the occasional messing around, now can it?
Once again, thank you all for your patience. We're all doing our best to make the update of the best quality we can get it to be!
Take all the time you need. All of us here greatly appreciate the effort the devs put into the game, so we're more than willing to wait for V13 no matter how long it takes.

Speaking of Saki....
She's got a twitter now. Finally hearing something of her after so long, huh?
Just gave her account a follow; can't wait to see some more tweets from my favorite technological prodigy.

No need to rush; I can safely say on behalf of everyone that we all greatly appreciate the effort the devs put into Pokemon Rejuvenation. We'll be here to support you all from the sidelines, no matter how long it takes for V13 to get released.

Hey. Decided to start writing my own rejuv fanfic. First time but here's the link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23006677/chapters/55008400
Looks very good so far, can't wait to read the next chapters.

Hey there, I got around to writing a quick one-shot for Valentine's Day (Don't worry, it's safe for work.) I may be jumping the gun a bit given how Rejuvenation isn't finished yet, but I hope you all enjoy it.

One thing's for sure, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next batch of characters, should Zumi wish to draw them. I know they'll look amazing!

No, I haven't yet. I'll go try it right now.
Edit: I just did it, yet I still had to do the password reset just to log in.

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong topic to post my inquiry in, but for some reason I keep getting logged out of my profile on its own, only to get an error message whenever I try to log back in. It got to the point where I had to reset my password several times just so I could post this. If there's a way it can be fixed, I will be very grateful for it.

Another amazing job from Zumi; much kudos to you for the fantastic art pieces you made.

Taking a short break from Gen 8 spriting to work on something else that's probably a little overdue....
Amazing work, Zumi! I especially love how confident Venam looks; fits brilliantly with her character. And Melia looks very cute in this, so extra points for that.

From the look of things, most definitely.

We hope you will appreciate the addition of the hints system. It's going to be a bit of work to write them all out considering how long the game itself is, but we hope it'll help some of you in the future!
Kudos to the team for implementing this system in; it's a very neat idea that'll be beneficial to everyone. Love the Volta redesign as well

We're slowly chipping away at Gen 8 addition! The most work remains with spriting at the moment -- we could wait for other people to do all of the front sprites, but since it slows down overall development and re-balancing of the game, I've been doing some work for it. myself Here's a couple of sprites for Morgrem and Grimmsnarl I did today!
My goal for the time being is to do at least five sprites every week so the spriting progress will start keeping a steady pace, since it's been a little hiccup-y lately with the holidays. It's time to get into the swing of things! I'll be showing off more front sprites in the case people from the dev team have done them from scratch as quite a couple of the ones we're using are made by people outside of our dev team... And I doubt backsprites are interesting to show off lol.
Either way, please be patient with us as we're working on this slowly but steadily!
That's some amazing sprite work right there. Take as much time as you need; we're all willing to wait patiently for the end result.

Toxtricity to Venam just seems logical.
Agreed 100% It's almost as if Gamefreak designed it just for her, despite how illogical that sounds. I do remember someone on here saying that Corviknight fits Ren well, so that's another option. As for Melia, well call me crazy but I think either Alcremie or Dragapult would fit her, depending on if you want to play up her 'sweet' angle, or her 'raw power' angle.

Merry Christmas to you too; don't worry, I know I'm not on the naughty list, but I can say the safe for some other people.

And i must say one of my favorite scenes in this game, is the friendship montage between the MC and Melia at Goldenwood. The MC just survived a terrorist attack and saw their mom and several passengers possibly die as far as they know, they are thrust into a unknown region with no friends or family, and just some Pokemon, and yet, this girl reminds them that life ain't all bad and there are good people.
It's one of my favorite moments as well; the perfect touch of feelgood to cheer both the MC and Melia up as both of them are going through a rough patch in their lives.

Since my last comment was a little bit on the humorous side, I guess I should give my two cents about what I like about Melia and her character. And while I could go the easy route and say everything, I think a bit of elaboration would make for a more compelling post.
Part of what I like about her is just how much development she goes though, in both a character and an idea. Take her incarnation in the earliest versions of the game; she was a nigh-invincible character that rubbed people the wrong way due to how flawless she was. However, the passion and polish that Jan and his crew put in into fixing up the story in order to make her more relatable/endearing and less of a perfect character is both admirable and praiseworthy. Story wise, she goes from thinking that she must do everything on her own, to being more trusting of her friends and willing to accept help from them. The multiple ways she can be interpreted as, both in terms of character and an idea is why I find her so enjoyable to write about. Hey, I may as well admit that Melia is one of the main reasons why I prefer Rejuvenation over Reborn, but that's just me.
Then again, as her No.1 fan it's expected that I'd say something like that.

Well he is very attractive, so I'll agree with you here. As a matter of fact, 80% of the characters in Rejuv are very attractive in my opinion.
