[Something I wanna say as an ordinary player of the latest development update post]

19 minutes ago, EyesOnKindred said:

The original post is locked for further replies, but I really have something wanna talk about, so I put my comment on this post right here. 

I have no negative feeling on this update by cass (Pain, anger, sorrow, remorse? None of them). However, there is one piece of advice I need to talk about, and that is putting your effort on developing a brand new game and telling that to the community can be risky. This time last year, Pokemon players realized that Game Freak arranged almost half of their developers working on a brand new game called Town. Players (including me myself) had infuriated by the underwhelming content of Pokemon Sword and Shield especially the absence of National PokeDex, and that fact further ignited players' anger and disappointment on Game Freak.  As a result, Pokemon players spread their negativity and sent their bad reviews on this new game, even when the game had not been released. I would not say Town is really good, but it is too bad to receive good reviews? Not so much. In this Starlight case, similar event may happen. Reborn players (very likely to have considerably large number of players) may naturally hate this game, whatever this game will look like, since developing Starlight makes Ame postpones the development of Reborn ep19 postgame. Having a large numbers of haters already before a new game released is absolutely detrimental for it and its developers. The original development update post was locked only after it was released after one day shows the potential of negativity non-negligibly exists, though most of us are compassionate. Fighting back to this negativity may hurt the community by hurting the feelings of loyal and contributive Reborn players, which means dead end. 

The best way to solve this arising problem is probably releasing the ep19 main game, which had been completed a year ago. People will still play the ep19 postgame when it is launched anyway, since ep19 postgame will contain huge amount of plot and it will require tons of play time. Releasing the ep19 main game not only fulfills the players in Reborn community, but also saves Starlight from potential negativity it may face. It will also release lots of pressure for you developers. Hope Ame, Cass and other developers of Reborn consider my advice and make your decision. 

Thank you!

Holy shit I rarely post and other people are probably gonna pick this apart but lemme take a crack at it.

 

A. Triple AAA developer vs. small indie team working for free is entirely different, and if they ever release anything ever again be grateful not to sound too rude but they do this willingly for FREE for you. (Also sidenote, GF developed town as an entirely seperate project) it did not affect S&S's development at all. Situation's are not comparable at all.

B. "If starlight is like ya know EXISTS BEFORE MY POKEMON REBORN COME OUT ILL BE MAD AT THE DEV TEAM FOR DOING THING" like what. They're talking about maybe releasing a demo and both games are probably years off at this point. Project starlight and reborn do affect each other but also like eh? It is what it is only one Ame and co can actually make money from compared to the other which is literally labor of love and potential landmine of legal issues.

C. When the heck did anyone from the dev team confirm that "EP.19 the main game is done" that feels like total speculation and pure guesswork but idk maybe I missed thing.

D. There is no problem lol, they release it when they release it.

 

But seriously when the heck did anyone say Ep.19 was done at any point. 

[WASSUP REBORN?!1!]

Terra sick em. 

 

Welcome to reborn you late bloomer you.

Oh. By the way, out of curiosity, how many downloads does Reborn have approximately? 

I don't know you'd have to ask the people who access to that data.

I'd guess maybe 10,000? Going off of people signed up for the forum is a rough estimate.

So what's it about complete release, that attracts Nintendo's attention? Reborn has been there for years. And Uranium as well, why did they take it down at complete release, when most of the game had come out during the previous years?

Uranium was because it got 1.5 million downloads and was becoming pretty popular. 

 

Also it came out roughly 3 months before Sun & Moon so like pokemon was not gonna have a free fangame with millions of people playing it floating out there for them play.

*KNOCKS ON WOOD*

Nope and I hope it never does cause the game ain't done yet. 

 

I feel like it's inevitable whenever the heck reborn goes for a complete release.

 

But the reborn community and devs have been lucky for this long.

[Older episodes of Pokemon Reborn]

huh.

 

I think the only one who has access to those would be the dev team at this point.

 

Maybe someone has old mega links or something.

I see my name in there lol

I forgot about the credits text file

 

Also for our sanity, plz spoiler the credits part so it doesnt eat the screenspaceu

The damage isdone.

 

Also I forgot how spoiler tags work on this forum so rip..

[How does the staff make money?]

I forgot my contribution to reborn.

Puns. 

 

[How does the staff make money?]

THERE'S A CREDITS SECTION YOU FOOLS.

 

Also for legal reasons Ame has never accepted money to work on this game. Ever. In. Any. Form. Reborn is the most non profitable pokemon game in history. pls dont kill it before E19 nintendo.

 

Nah but like this is the answer, also agreed fuck budew.

 

I think Ame does like 50% and the main work (Story, most of the development) while everyone chips in with their free time and bug tessting and supplementary stuff. Not to discredit anyone in the credits I'm just spitballing because I assume they do a lot of stuff (I remember like 50 people helped out for the gen 7 sprites) but it's most of the supplementary materials like sprites, animations and ya know making sure the game doesn't crash when you catch a meowth. Also jan is in the credits for what they did I do not know but I assume they did spritework. 

 

 

Straight from the readme file in Ep. 18.2

Thanks mods.

Guess this means I can't sell Psyducks in back alleys anymore. 

 

Guess I have to sell them out of the back of my pokevan.

[A Thank-You to the Reborn team and everyone else here]

Waiting for the inevitable gamefreak approach of Ame to remake Pokemon Reborn as an official game and she can make it.

 

Yeah that ain't happening but a Psyduck can dream, thanks to the reborn team old and new. You've made my favorite pokemon game that doesn't have Psyduck catchable in the wild.

[I don't want Pokemon Reborn to end]

This re-introduced me to pokemon so I will always be grateful for that. 

But as many people have said, all things must end. Plus it'll be nice to see Ame's future game(s) in a few years and have her eventual greatest achievement be her own idea instead of perfecting someone else's.

It would be the biggest disaster you could imagine, Final Fantasy 16 would take 16 years to get finished and I would be fired 4 years into making it because it took them 4 years too late to realize their mistake. 

 

But if this ever happened I'll just hire Sakurai and say he can have access to any of the Square Enix characters in smash if he+Nomura would be the "executive producers" on this with them doing 99.99% of the heavy lifting. 

 

Actually you know what, NEW PREMISE. Halfway into development the entire project is a mess and I'm about to be fired because oh god why are Cloud's skin textures actual cloud textures. Suddenly, a new idea comes into my head "Super Sma-" never-mind taken.... "Boxing" because it'a squar-....yeah no.  Phoenix Square off, because that's the best I can do at naming a fighting game. 

 

You hated the fire emblem characters in smash? Well get ready for 75+ Swordman with wild ass anime hair that keeps the game from being 60+fps because I insisted on hair physics. 

 

Coming in like 2034 because 16 years of development and oh god how did we spend 400 million on this....oh right yeah that Giraffe concept art vacation.
