I still can't believe The big V14 is real when seeing it with my own eyes! The cover art looks beautiful, my eyes instantly widened when I looked at it. The reborn website also become really laggy because of the amount of people trying to go to the website at the same time, which shows the how eager the gamers are to game. Also the new website looks amazing. Well done devs. I am very exited to see what this behemoth of a version brings to the table. Thank you very much for developing this masterpiece of a game!

I really dig the design of the New pc turret in the plane of dessonance!

Jan said highly 3 times in this post to play paragon first. No one is stopping you from playing renegade first. But the gameplay experience will make no sense. There have been 10 minute lore dumps in the last 2 version and it's very likely there will be one in paragon that can be skipped in renegade. There also might be plottwists that are a big deal in paragon, but happen ofscreen in renegade i was also originally planning on creating a new save and dive head first into renegade. But I Will now probabilly start a New renegade save play till v13.5 content and then finish my paragon save . If you don't want to spend to long on paragon you can use the chapter 9 skip plus play on a lower difficulty to play on paragon. Btw, embrace the New game + content. I played the one in v13.5 and it was so good. It was also All optional so if you want forn some reason to skip it you can! I can't wait for what kind of newgame + content Jan cooked up for the big 14

LET"S GO BOIS AND GALS, THIS SUMMER IS GOING TO BE GOATED. THE WAIT FOR V14 is finally nearing it's end. Massive shout out to Jan, Zumi and the other DEVS for working like 2.5 years on this behemoth of an project. Also massive respect to the beta-testers who sniffed out all the nasty bugs and also did not leak a single thing! Thank you so much this is going too be to epic man. Can't wait to play this master piece! edit: After reading it one more time, I think there will be an trailer posted for V14 on the 13th, which means there is a big chance it is going to be on yt right? if that is the case then I reccomed the others to subscribe to jan's youtube channel so you can watch the trailer the second it drops. I already know the animation is going to be magificent

Very nice development post. Nice to hear that the side quest are not being left out and curious to see what kind of frog quests and new frogmons will come available. Keep on cooking on this game. I am sure when episode 7 drops it will be another masterpiece! Also posty enjoy your trip to Japan man.

It was interesting to see how the music is getting developed and how it evolved with each track. Also exiting for the megas, Mega noivern will probabilly become an menace. Thanks for updating the dev posts devs and I am excited to hear more about this games developement.

This is a fenomenal dev blog post. I guess I have another excuse to play the entire game again from start to finish to enjoy this game through it's fullest extent. I also want to gave major props to you Jan and the rest of the developers to go through the early game after each update and try to make it better and better. This makes sure the game improves overall and there won't be any quality differences in the beginning and the end. There are not many projects that go through the extent that the rejuvenation team does. Also the last image with aevia looks absolute fire in this setting. I have never seen any fangame with many different charachter sprites and outfits. It's time to get the hype train going again

God damn. I forgot field effects were a thing pokemon actually made and then ame applied it to her game. The reborn version is so much more fleshed out and the field effects in regular pokemon games do not feel that special. Honestly I cannot imagine reborn without field effects. Also was the pulse tangrowth just a regular tangrowth? Or did it get stat changes. I thought the pulse predated the megas. I now want to play episode 2 even more, It would be fun to see a florina bossfight that is actually hard. and I know episode 19 is way better since that is one of the best free games ever made. Even outside of the scope of pokemon fangames. But evven though it is better the first version does have it's charm. It was the beginning of something much bigger that would last longer then a decade. But alas it is up to ame to make it public or not. Also I did know about the beginning being way different since I watched the first episode of Shofu's playthrough a couple years ago when around episode 18. But anyway thank you for your post man. I think you are super deep into this community and I hope you collect all versions man. It might be impossible but keep on going man. I just looked at an 8 year old let's play and that was episode 16. Dang you gotta dig deep man but succes.

Damn, respect for trying to preserve the episodes of pokemon reborn. I would love to play to episode 2 to see how the initial version is. But if Ame is not okay with you sharing it, that's completely okay. I assume you have played through most of the versions and know each difference, if not then that is fine. If you have played rejuvenation in the last years you know how vastly different the early game has been by changing entire chapters. Has the same happened to Reborn where after a certain episode Ame went back to really polish something up or did the only major change happen with episode 19 where only a small part of the early game got a major revamp. Also mayby you can ask the people that got covered within victory road. The NPC are based of people that have been in the community for a very long time. I remember this because of a post about a simulated tournament a while ago. I think there was some guy that did really good in doubles and ame gave him a shootout or something. Mayby I will go back to the posts to find that guy and mayby he can help. I wish you succes with the grind.

The new sprites and music is absolute fire. Keep on cooking for the next update

I think she will probabilly be a poison type leader due to the new field affect that was revealed in the previous post that buffs the poison type. Also there are a bunch of mushrooms in town and a lot of mushrooms can be toxic

Bro Desolation is both art and a passion project and those things take a load of time. Also if you look at the grand picture, development is going at a decent paste. Every episode feels like an entire new game, so it is reasonable that it will take a couple of years per episode.

bro, this is peak I think the sidequest are what makes these games more special and more are always welcome in my eyes

GOD DAMN, Astraciel looks amazing. The colors of the grass and the mushrooms work quite well together. I also would be down to join the public developement stream

The sound design in this game is peak and the moment i listened to the 15 second audio clip I know episode 7 is going to be an absolute banger

YOOO, this is pretty epic, does this also mean that the new devs will get their own bossfight in the postgame like the other devs?

LETS GOOOO, thx man for this amazing game

I think the moveset on my mightyena was almost the same, but i used shadowclaw instead of an elemental fang because it got boosted by the field that dark surge generates

I don't think so. I played through the entire game and finished every single side quest and didn't stumble upon a gardevoirite

damn, the new npc sprites look way better. The breeding guy now doesn't look like he's made in ms paint and the girl sprite looks completely different. It kinda reminds me of scarlets sprite

yeah its pretty good
