    Hi guys. It's been a while since I've made a status update here, so I thought I'd go ahead and clear up a few things.

     

    Most people know that I am based in NYC, the area that was hit hardest by the Corona virus. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay healthy 

    and contracted the disease (I live with an essential worker and I got it from them.) For the past few weeks I have been struggling with Covid,

    but I can happily say that I'm in recovery now. I have been for a little while.

     

    During this time, working on Rejuv has obviously been scarce. But I did not stop completely. I went on to take the opportunity of quarantine to visit past areas and continue polishing. I may never(and hopefully never, ever. Seriously, covid sucks.) get a chance where I have a lot of free time to do something like this. So I decided that it's probably in my best interest to work on things that don't require a lot of energy and focus. I have been working on things that were not planned.

     

    If this is the case, why hasn't the Old Content section been updated? Everything that was done prior to quarantine was planned content. Now that I'm working on things I had not considered, I thought it would be inappropriate to consider this part of that progress bar. I could create a separate section for the content I'm working on now, but eh... Even now, the things I'm working on are still not considered planned. I'm just going where my energy wants me to. So for me to put out another progress bar may be pointless.

     

    It's not much, but these are a few examples of what I've polished up.

    There are many, many, MANY other things I have in store, but these are just a few things I wanted to show. Just to assure that things are still moving, albeit at a slow pace. But that's all I have to talk about for now. Please stay safe and have a wonderful day :).

    All Aboard the hype train! Stay safe to you too!

    The Terajuma arc characters have their art finished!

     

    This time we're taking a look at Melia's 2nd appearance, Rorim B, Crawli, Angie, Texen (ugh), Amber, Tesla, Crescent and Jenner. As you can see, Rorim B finally got a finalized design and will have redone battle and VS sprites to reflect these changes to his appearance in V13! Next to that, this is the first time you're getting a proper look at what Crescent looks like.

     

    now, for a quick Q&A!

     

    Q: Did you deliberately make Rorim B look like a fashion disaster?

    A: absolutely. no i do not take criticism, let him be the horribly embarrasing disco dad he is, thank you for coming to my ted talk

     

    ok thank u for coming to my q&a, as per usual you can find all of the art back along with bonus icons and a link to all of the full resolution artwork in the official art thread!

    ❤️👌🏾😍💯 No words. Just appreciation and inspiration.

  4. Guys no disrespect, but please don’t talk about romance in the status thread. Jan has stated that he doesn’t want and won’t have romance involved in rejuvenation as it’s not a dating sim and the chances are extremely thin on that happening because that’d make him uncomfortable.

    Nothing major... But Zetta's VS sprite got a lil glow up! Felt it might be good to give his portrait a bit of a cleaning.

    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!

    No Rush. Take your time, but I bet that v13 will be longer than v12?

    I think this scene only occurs if you choose to snitch on Flora in the 'Stopped in our Tracks' part of the game

     

    That scene only appears if you decide to tell Cassandra everything regardless if you snitch or not. Soooo don’t tell Cassandra everything!

    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...

     

    eiWlckA.png

     

    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! :]

    Can’t wait! You’ll haven’t let us down once!

    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.

    His life got ruined and he didn’t deserve any of it! These mugs are a perfect fit! 😭

    So Gigantimax is going to be involved in the game including Dnynamax?

    Nah no Gigantimax and Dnynamax because technically speaking dimensional rift is somewhat the same as Dnynamax, it’s just not there for us sadly 😓 So don’t think it will be available.

    This week is a rather plentiful week of updates, isn't it? Well I've got one last thing to show off for now! But before we get to what's being added, let's introduce you all to someone!

     

    Some of you might remember this character being on some of Gearen's billboards in older versions of the game + you've also probably met her mother Jolene in the game by now, but I'd like you to meet Volta!

     

    8eJ7WGc.png

     

    In the older versions of Rejuvenation, she was the electric type gym leader, who would go on to retire and be replaced by Erick, who then still played a significantly smaller role than he does now. In the current version of the game she was a gym leader that acted as the stand-in for Saki, but now Erick has taken over her spot as gym leader as she went off to GDC to become a news reporter... Basically reducing her to a character that's only been mentioned once or twice. 

     

    But now you're probably wondering, where did she go and why haven't we met her yet if she's still somewhat relevant? Well, I'm here to answer that question! In V13, we're adding a hints system that is accessible through the TV's you find in houses. This system is meant to help you find your way around if you're lost on as of where to go next, which is particularly useful when you haven't played in a while and you have no clue where you left off... And Volta will be the one appearing on TV to tell you all about the latest scoops and happenings that will put you back on track! And to go with this new hints system, she got a fresh new look to go along with it as well.

     

    Meet our new Volta!

    TwzWgng.pngQTn9bN3.png

     

    Next time you get lost in the game just find the most nearby TV, and Volta will be there to tell you all about the latest happenings so you can find your way back to where you need to go! 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!

     

    Don't expect these V13 content updates to be this frequent by the way, as this post is about something for which the graphics were finished a few months ago already. Updates in regards to new V13 content will probably remain scarce for a while until we're done with Gen 8 implementation (unless Jan wants to post something about it whenever he feels like it LOL), so please be patient with us for a little while longer as we try to get all of that sorted out first!

     

    Oh, and I completely forgot to mention it in my previous post... but Happy New Year from everyone in the Rejuv dev team! Let's all hope for another great year! 🎉 

    Take your time! And Happy late New Year to you too!

    By the way! I mentioned this on Discord, but to those who have done my NPC's sidequest and found the advanced dex reward subpar for the work they put into it, and to those who haven't done it because they felt the reward would be subpar, surprise! In V13, this quest will be rewarded with another thing, but in the long run, so not immediately after completing it (or if you already have, as soon as you load up V13. Even then!). You'll have to wait a bit to be able to obtain the other reward, but it'll be worth it!

     

    Very, very worth it.

    :^).

    I’ll hold you to that promise! 😍
