Yes, there's updates to older areas both graphically and storywise to improve overall story flow and tying up loose ends that were previously unaddressed.

 

 

1) Because... we want to? Gen 8 adds a lot of new mons that ppl from the dev team like a lot, so it's not like we're doing it because we have to. We want Gen 8 to be in, so we're adding in Gen 8. There doesn't need a better reason than that.

 

2) Older content gets reworked and other QoL updates to keep the quality of the game consistent across the board, and not just have the quality get better further into the game. We still get a lot of new players even now, meaning that these players also have to go through the older content, and since we want the game to be as enjoyable as possible for any and all players, we want to make sure that new players don't have to worry about early game being a slog.

 

This really kind of sounds like you're being impatient in regards to the new version, but we're really just trying to make the game as enjoyable of an experience as possible. If we know something could use some work and there's time to fix it, then there's really no reason not to. We have no set deadlines for ourselves and we're not going to rush things in order to get the version pushed out sooner.

Impatient, not really. I make custom content myself for 3D Games and I know how much time it can take.

Maybe this is a different case because I had a product where players expected weekly updates and sometimes daily fixes. This is a "Fan game" but still a product to users.

 

But again > Sorry for being straight to the point.

I don't wanna be rude but, why even add Gen 8 ?

I'm trying to understand what the goal is, if it's fixing / finishing the current game then it would not make sense.

If Gen 8 is added, I hope the new mons are worth the wait because, lets be honest, there are already enough mons and encounters start repeating a lot.

"Reworking old content" Why? Just finish the game and then do a bigger update fixing major problems.
