Update! So, for those of you who like Allan, here is Allan's character artwork card with his signature Pokemon: Lucario! Also, someone drew some fanart of Hiro, and I am going to post her artwork here, because I am super happy to see fan-art of some of my favorite characters By Tlozyp: Also, I wanted to make mention to how progress with my game has been going so far. So far, I've managed to get only a little bit done. I've kind of been suffering from a writers block, and haven't really felt like making Skits scenes or making NPC Trainers/Events; and that is usually the most tedious part of it all. Also, the beta tester who's been playing my game managed to get near the half-way point of the beta, and so far, I fixed all the issues that she addressed ;D

Wait, I thought that you were a Vivian and Allan kind of person XD

Artwork Update! So, for those of you who like Vice, I have his art card finished! Also, I have made changes to these character artworks, and they now feature a special background that is only given out, in it's full unedited version, to beta testers and select people. So, Vivian, Hiro, and Vice now feature their Artworks with this special background in its edited form.

Update! So, I have yet another Skit video to show off, and this time, it's a 4 character skit featuring Vice, Allan, Eevee, and Hiro. This scene does contain some minor spoilers, so if you do not wish to be spoiled, then by all means, do not watch the video! But, if you don't care about spoilers, then feel free to enjoy the video! Side note: Thanks to Masquerain for play testing my game and finding a lot of bugs and stuff that I most certainly would not have found on my own! I am still looking for another beta tester who is reliable, and if you would like to give it a shot, feel free to reply to this post!

Map Update! So, over the past few days I've been taking a break from eventing in my game to make some new maps. And, if you saw the Skit video up above, you will be able to see one of the newer ones in action! But, these new maps are referred to as "The City of the Timeless" which is basically one of the future areas of the game, during your time at the 2nd continent of the game. I'm not gonna go into much spoilers as to what exactly is there, as well as what happens; but, let's just say... it's important ;D To sum it up, the City of the Timeless, much like a lot of areas in the game, is meant to be devoid of any Trainers, and is meant to feel very atmospheric and ambient. Again, if you watch the video above, you will kind of get that kind of feel from it; especially since it is an ancient ruined city on an isolated island at the very edge of the Lumia Region. In any case, here they are! City of the Timeless City of the Timeless - Waking Pass City of the Timeless - Waking Pass (again) ​ Side note in relation to these maps. The Temporal Crystals that you see laid out throughout the city can only be utilized by Hiro, and what they do is function as revealing locations that would otherwise not be there. Also, in some situations, she can stop time to allow other characters to use their abilities to navigate certain terrain. Such terrains for example are: Extremely windy areas, fast moving currents and waterfalls, and moving platforms that need to be navigated by Marissa. If you don't care about slight spoilers then feel free to watch an example of this map in action with the Allan and Hiro skit! Update 2: Electric Boogaloo! I updated the main thread with the now official logo of my game, down below you can see it in all it's awesomeness

Merry Christmas! So, it's Christmas, and with any typical Christmas there has to be some kind of present to give, right? Well, look no further than a new skit video that was made per request! This time featuring Hiro and Allan with some heavy exposition! This was by far one of my favorite scenes to make, especially since it's Allan and Hiro, both of which are brother and sister, giving a great deal of exposition into their backstories. As some of you probably noticed, but, I did start 2 polls on the OP, and if you are interested, feel free to cast your vote! I love to hear your view and opinions on certain things in relation to my game!

Side note from above there, here is the now official logo art for my game This was inspired by the game.exe launcher icon, and now has an official logo! Also, new Skit video

A poll? A poll for what? Also, I don't quite know how to start polls on here XD Yeah, that is very true. But, whenever I make maps, sometimes I just cannot help but look at them and be completely disgusted in what I made. They were made to be atmospheric and less "route-like." But some people just don't like that kind of concept, so that thought is always in the back of my mind and making me constantly want to change things.

Her eyes are actually hazel. In most artworks you see her with that kind of eye-color, it's meant to be a kind of brownish hazel, but more leaning toward brown. However, in the artwork that you see above, it was an artistic choice to make her eyes stand out more, by giving a hint of golden brown to it.

Artwork Update So, for those of you who love Hiro Monochroma, here is Hiro's official artwork card for her ^^ This was one of my favorite arts, alongside Vivian and Vice's! The quality of these images are reduced down to jpg, and are not at their full resolution, for obvious reasons XD But, here you are, Hiro Monochroma's beautiful art with her and Zorua! Also, if you did not see Vivian's art, here it is (also the artworks are featured on the main thread)

I know, but, I always get disgusted at my own works, after I realize how rushed some of those old maps were ;w; Some of the maps in the Fairy Sanctuary are left pretty much the same, except for about 4 of them, since their designs didn't really make much sense XD

Update!! Map and Tile Advancements! (I can map, wut?) I have now returned after a couple days worth of hiatus, and the reason for my hiatus was mainly at me looking at my old maps, and being genuinely disgusted at my old works. So, over the past few days, I've kept myself at work, trying to remake and improve old maps, and this one is by far one of the maps that I am most proud of, in terms of it's advancement. Down below you can see the comparison of what it used to look like, and how it now looks: This is from the Fairy Sanctuary. The one on the left is the new map, and the one on the right is the old map. At the moment I am right now improving upon old maps, and changing everything that went into them. So, for the next week or so, I will be making drastic changes, for the better! I am absolutely disgusted at my old works, and I hope you all can understand my reasoning ^^;

Indeed, N was really unnecessay and completely dumb to be in my game. Well, there are quite a lot of those Skits that activate if certain parameters are obtained. However, those will most likely not be in the first beta test. Speaking of Beta Testing. Tomorrow, assuming my audio folder wants to upload on Mediafire, I will be having my 3 chosen beta testers play test my game, and once they finish, I will make the changes necessary, and then post the first beta! But, I am probably going to evacuate the internet for a few days, mainly because I have depressed myself into a hole, because I feel incompetent in every way, in terms of Game Dev, but... that's besides the point. I won't be posting here for a few days, because of that, so yeah. Also, if anyone is willing to do me a graphical favor, feel free to message me here. It would be most appreciated! It's mainly in terms of... logos XD

Skit Update! Parameter Context Sensitive Version! That is right! I have now created another version of the Skits in my game to operate on the functionality of activating based on certain parameters in the game. So, basically, if you fight X amount of trainers, X amount of Pokemon, or capture a certain amount of Pokemon; certain Skits will play throughout the game! And they can be triggered anywhere in the game, and never disappear, until you view them! Down below is one of the Parameter Skits, that is triggered based on the capture of X amount of Pokemon!

Yuppers! There will be a comic of her and Vice facing off in their Verdant Transformed states five years after this game, in the epilogue And yeah, N was really unnecessary, and completely not needed, at all. Which was why I completely removed him from the game, because of how useless he was to the plot.

Update 1.5: Official Character Artwork for Vivian! For those of you who really love Vivian, here is her Artwork with her partner Greninja! There will be one of these for all the characters in the game, including the secret characters, for when you unlock them ;D

Update: Addition and Subtraction! So, over the past few days I have made some new additions to my game, as well as some subtractions. + First off, I added in Critical Capture for Allan Monochroma's ability repertoire. + I added in a bunch of new skits as well as 1 new character for the skit scenes! + Functionality for Krista's healing ability has now been implemented, so now you can walk and heal your Pokemon while playing as Krista (of course, after the certain part of the game has finished, you can use it.) + Skycrest is now fully evented with side stuff, and optional items by talking to NPC's and whatnot. + Krista now has access to Surfing, since she is the only one who can use it, as well as waterfall. + Dark Fang Base 1 is now fully evented. - No longer using Essentials V16, because of too many script incompatibilities. Also, massive lag from the engine itself. - Complete removed all traces of the character: N from the game, since he added literally NOTHING to the story, whatsoever. I think my 17 year old self said this, when I first started making the game: If I add N, then that will = good fanservice! (Yeah, because that's how good story writing works... yeah no.) So, that is the update for today, and tomorrow there is going to be something super awesome for me to show you all! And it involves more character artwork! Also, there is going to be a neat little comic that is going to be made to showcase Verdant Transformation 1 and Verdant Transformation 2! For those of you who have not yet read the first comic, here it is, down below!

Well, the amazingness will be coming, veryyyyy soon, don't you worry ;D

That sounds awesome ^^ and yeah, I like Krista a lot as well, especially for what happens to her, when the group temporarily splits up ;w; But, there will be new artwork for all 6 of the main characters coming out within the next day or so. And Vivian is the first one to get hers, since she is mah fave.

Well, for anyone who really likes Vivian, there will be even more artwork of her coming out, along with the other 5 main characters :3

Indeed ;D I thought that if I was to give any one of the characters the ability to Verdant Transform in the 1st game, it would be Vivian, since she is from a village where the manipulation of such energy is known regularly. Even though it took her 5 years to master it XD I am glad you like her design, the Verdant Attire definitely looks really cool! Oooh, fanarts, you say :3 I cannot wait to see something like that come along! XD Not quite, but it's pretty comparable to it

Yeah, this version is not that amazing from my experiences, and I switched back, once I realized that I wasted a lot of my time upgrading, and having issues, here and there... UPDATE!: Verdant Transformation Version 2! And Vivian Can Verdant Transform?! That is right, Vice now get's a second Transformation for his Verdant Transformation; the second one in question is referred to as Verdant Transformation - Version 2! In this version of his Transformation, Vice and Eevee develop a crimson aura, and red eyes. Unlike the previous version, the changes here are much more drastic. In the first Verdant Transformation, Vice's aura is more radiant and silver looking, and his eyes change from green to a more blueish-green color. Also, his clothes completely change into his Verdant Attire. However, in the 2nd Transformation, everything is completely different. Whereas in the previous version, activating the Transformation required the knowledge and mastery of Dragon Force/Makyo Energy. However, in this one, activation requires a large upheaval of emotion, and responds to a need, and not a desire. Normally when the Trainer, in Verdant Transformation, experiences rage or anything similar, both the Pokemon and Trainer become more erratic. This however is when the Trainer and Pokemon are pushed to the absolute limit, and become emotionally desperate. The most noticeable change of course is the change in aura, which becomes a crimson shade of red, as well as the eyes becoming red as well. Secondly the bio-electricity that was present in this first form is now more prominent and is more frequent. Lastly, the Trainer and Pokemon develop Makyo Orbs, which function as a means of utilizing certain abilities and are not offensive in any ways. Most notably is the ability to heal Pokemon, and levitate the Trainer's Poke Balls, which Vice tends to do often. When on their own, and do not have Poke Ball's present inside them, they merely orbit in an "X" formation around the Pokemon and Trainer. The power usage and increase becomes so dramatic that, from what you can't see in the CG here, is the deterioration of Vice's clothes over time. As for Eevee, her power output far exceeds what could've been achieved in the 1st Transformation. In the 2nd Transformation, Eevee's Base form, Base Stat Total, almost doubles. In this Transformation, Eevee's Base Form, Base Stats, increase from 75,75,75,75,75,75 - to 135 for all stats. Lastly, Vivian's Verdant Transformation, because I know all of you really want to know ;D Vivian obtains this Transformation, as well as Vice obtaining his second Transformation, in the Epilogue of the game. Vice obtains his at the final battle. Vivian, over the course of 5 years, trains with her Greninja, in preparation for the Skycrest City Tournament, where the heroes all gather back to and battle it out, in the Epilogue. One thing that Vivian experienced during her time Training her Pokemon was taking up the time to master the use of Dragon Force/Makyo Energy. Since she is from Namira Village, manipulating that kind of energy is par for the course, so she was able to also utilize the Transformation; albeit, after 5 years of rigorous training to synchronize herself with her Greninja. Also, since Vivian didn't have anyone to teach her how it was done, she had to learn it on her own. And with that said, she gains access to the Transformation, as well as her Verdant Attire that comes with it. Greninja's Base Form, Base Stat Total increases from 72,95,67,122,103,71 - to: 110,110,110,150,130,100! So, what do you all think of this new and exciting update Gameplay on the Verdant Transformation 2 will come out within the next month or so
