[HUGE SPOILERS] UPDATE! So, while I was working on the Verdant Transformation overworld animation, I created something that I actually became impressed over. This is the long awaited Vice VS Allan battle in the City of the Timeless. There is huge spoilers to be had, so watch at your own digression. That said, a lot of the dialogue in this scene that you are going to watch is not final, and has not been fully edited. So, if things appear to be grammatically incorrect, then again: This scene isn't finalized yet. Also... yes. I did cop out and use the Super Saiyan aura sound effect XD I couldn't find another one, so sue me His aura doesn't actually sound like that, just fyi. It's a placeholder XD Also, if you like DBZ-esque fight scenes then you will like the latter half of the vider.

Could be

It's all good XD Azumarill is fairy type after all, and the fact that that is even the case makes it funnier XD That's an idea that I had, but I'm still debating on location and moves for it. Update Concept Artwork Edition I wonder who this character is? It's not Vice, and it's not Nero, who could it be and why does he look exactly identical to Vice? Take a guess, because in the main thread his name is given ;D

Update: Pokemon From the Afterlife Optional Boss #1 and #2 Throughout the game, there are optional boss Pokemon that are named. Any named Pokemon you encounter is MUCH stronger than it's normal Pokemon counterpart. There is a side-quest throughout the game that involves Zangetsu, and no, I never watched Bleach, I just thought the name suited it just fine XD If there is a better name, that would be cool for you to tell me, since I am still not liking the name :3 The first time you encounter this Pokemon is inside of the Aliquam Cavern, once you unlock both Vivian and Krista; afterwards you go back to the Aliquam Trail and you can find him in the back of the cave. The second time you fight him requires you to have gotten to the point where Krista unlocks her Hidden Potential, and you must defeat a really difficult Trainer. Getting to Zangetsu 2 requires Surf, which is given to you once Krista unlocks her potential. The third and final time you fight him won't be revealed until later ;D Anywho here is the video: Best quote from these scenes are: That Pokemon was really huge. I wonder if it lived inside of a big Poke Ball before it passed away XD Oh Krista.

Their sprites would be down-scaled to fit the game accordingly. I could manage all the detail in their original design, if my game leaned towards the 64x64 style that a few fan-games have nowadays, but I prefer the simple 32x32 style sprites, because the limitations bring ingenuity in their designs. Nova, the person who makes my sprites, had a hard time with the Pokemon riding sprites, but managed to find a way to fit all the detail into a 32x32 space, which is impressive Of course, I could have everyone have highly detailed sprites, that are 64x64 or higher, but then I'd have to change everything in my game XD And I don't even know where to get 64x64 tiles or sprites made XDD So, their sprites will be down-scaled to be more like Vivian's :3

Double Day Update: Double Artwork Edition! To finish off Vivian's Family, here is Vivian's Mother and Father: Mira Vance, and Leon Vance. To complete the set, here is Vivian and Fiona: Now, I am sure you are wondering: Why isn't you art in Sugimori style like all the other fan-games out there? It's because I prefer the more anime oriented style that you see above.

Nope, not this time around! I made sure to check those walls XD

Update As of today, I just finished remastering some old maps, mainly indoor maps, into a form that looks and plays in a much more... "fun" manner. Down below you can see the newer maps, which are show above, and the old maps, which are down below for comparison. These maps have been vastly more improved, and as a result are way better to play. Older maps Pretty stark difference, huh?

UPDATE: Listed below are the changes that I have made to the game, thus far: + Created an option in the Trainer Cards 2nd Page for changing costumes (Vice is the only one who can, at the moment) + Fixed a lot of bugs, in relation to skits playing out + Created Vice's Verdant Transformation Sprite + Finished Shimmering Mountain + Finished Oblivion Forest + Added additional content to the beginning of the game. - Removed several unnecessary features. Very soon, there will be another Menu screen redesign, and it's going to be a lot more... Tales-esque than the one that you see currently, which is more geared towards a Pokemon design. I will be contacting my artist to see what she thinks about the general idea.

The red part that you see is actually kind of like a cape, sorta XD

Character Update! Okay first off, I am exhausted, and I've been awake for 40 hours, WOOO! Secondly, I have now updated Fiona Vance's design, to be more different in appearance to Vivian. Here is her updated design. Lastly, there will be more character artworks for new characters that are coming out, so be on the watch for that!

Well, it depends purely on public feedback. If someone doesn't like a design, or if there is something strikingly wrong about the design, then somethings will have to be changed. Of course, most characters that already have their designs since the beginning cannot be changed, or else a lot of things would have to be changed.

Well, I'm not disagreeing with your critique at all, I actually thought of that the instant that I saw her finished design. Of course, I didn't tell my artist that ahead of time, because, I was worried that she would have to redo everything. Not a pleasant thought, to have to waste my artists time, since she puts a lot of love and effort into all that she has made. I'm not as rich as some people make me out to be, especially with the kind of horrible labor that I have to go through to pay for all of this ;w; At least you know that I am dedicated XD But, in any case, she is going to have a drastic change in design, while retaining a lot of what you already see on her current design. So, it's an improved look.

Well, the thing is, is that: I have to pay for the redesign, no matter how minor it is, even if it is just the hair being changed, which... I already am planning on doing. Even if the eye-color is slightly off, I have to pay for it. The amount that I had to pay for the CG's was a lot as it is, and for the slight redesign for Fiona is $15. That might not sound like a lot, but... I could be using that for something else XD I'm not meaning to be rude or sound like a jerk or anything, but, at the end of the day, I have to pay for the designs, and I don't particularly enjoy paying an additional fee, on top of allocating possibly 3 more days onto a character that has the same hair-style as another, which could be used on progressing more artwork for newer characters. I also don't really enjoy wasting my artists time to have to sketch, lineart, shade and re-color everything just for one very minute problem. Again, not meaning to be rude or anything, but, if there is a design you don't like, then I am not changing it, because I don't get this stuff for free, like some fan-game teams out there do. I don't get it easy like they do... So, the issues you stated above are going to be fixed, and I even made some visual changes to her design which drastically set her apart from Vivian. This is however the only time that I am going to do this. I do apologize, sincerely, if this came off as a bit... harsh But, I do think about these things pretty often, as well as thinking about my artist who has to go through the effort of redoing everything, and that's not a pleasant thought for me to think of

The whole not red thing is just the shading, because that is just kind of how my artist handles the colors XD Her eyes are actually just like Helena and Nero's eyes. Well, I guess I can slightly change her design, but only just slightly. I do intend to keep her families kimono design, except with very minor changes. Hmm... possibly, I think I might add some "mysterious" dialogue cues every now and then, to help build up a little bit more tension at the beginning, and keep the player wondering what is going on. However, this will be the one, and only time that I will make a redesign, because I DO have to pay for the slight alterations, no matter how minor. Her design was meant to resemble Vivian's, since they are from the same family, which, results in similar attire.

Well, I wanted to lay out some more exposition, and perhaps make Marissa available earlier than you would normally get her, but you would go through a little bit more plot and whatnot, before you get to "the box" XD But, I don't know, since I would need some more input on that, because now that I look at it; it seems a bit too abrupt of an introduction. Although, I do plan on putting in a little bit of "mystery dialogue" before you gain control of Vice at Dawn Beach.
