22/12/2023 Dev Blog Week 2, nice. Not a lot has happened since last weeks post, but we do have some things to share. Firstly, Wave 2 submissions went quite well. We received a total of 36 new teams, and in total, we accepted 24 of those, bringing the total to exactly 100 unique, community submitted teams. And with that, submissions are closed for the time being. I'm sorry if your cNPC didn't get accepted, or you didn't submit on time. At the current moment, we have no plans of re-opening submissions, However, this may change in the future in the rare chance that we need more cNPCs. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ cNPC Battle Functions & Story Progression The plan right now is that every cNPC is going to show up somewhere on the map. I've gone ahead and made a rough map layout of where they will all be, and I will probably share what the actual map is going to look like, once we have it properly made. Of course, with the mod having 100 cNPCs, this may push some people away from wanting to do the actual story-aspects of the mod, so I'm going to clarify how this will work. The mod will primarily be based around the story, and the cNPCs will act as Gym Leaders to an extent. For every tier, you will be required to battle a specific amount of trainers. Nothing is set in stone for how many, but it's going to most likely be no more than 10 per tier. - cNPCs will be rematchable at any point depending, on your current tier. Defeating them will earn you BP, which can be spent for exclusive items. - Fighting the same cNPC multiple times will not progress the story, you will need to battle different trainers - All cNPCs will be subject to change, and balancing. The current teams shown on the accepted list are untested as of writing this, and will be balanced once we begin testing. - The current concept may also change, depending on how hellish this turns out to be. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aevian Forms I don't have much for this week, primarily due to everyone being on holidays, and actually trying to keep some forms a secret for release, however, I decided to commission Soulja last minute for a Christmas-themed Aevian Form. After this is posted, check our Discord, as I plan on releasing the form for people to use. Without further ado, I introduce you to: Now, I know what you're thinking, Grass/Ice type, not great stats, it's bad. Well, they cant all be good, so idk what you want from me, just let the Comfey live its life. Also I'm giving it a Crest, so it can actually do something. Please give Comfey some love. Also, here is a little showcase for one of the maps. I'm not dropping any names for it yet. Art by: IronicOmens _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dev Team Updates We have one new dev-team member to introduce this week, who will be helping out with mapping, and eventing Riru If you saw in the Discord server, they made the Carl Airlines terminal, which will be the fast-travel posts around the Pinnacle. We will showcase some more maps as they are made In terms of everyone else, we've all been taking our time. As it's almost Christmas, almost everyone is taking some time off to enjoy it with their friends and family, myself included. We had more planned for this post, but decided to wait until next week, so we weren't rushing anything. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wave 2 Submissions As mentioned before, Wave 2 brought a handful of new teams that are being added. We've gone through all of them, and updated the accepted list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zUZbtYyj41r5jQhLorcyiS_GRfzEGRgdXEywu3pAxQI/edit _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aevian Form Vote Results Last week, we also did a poll for a new Aevian form, which was between 3 Water-types, being Florges, Coalossal, and Sandaconda. And the results are in: Aevian Florges is the winner of the vote. We will reveal the design, and sprites once they are ready. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That's all for this week. We aren't too sure if the next dev blog will be out next week, so if it isn't, we will see you in the new year! Make sure to check out the Discord for teasers, and mod announcements Discord Invite

It shouldn't be missable in this version. Looking at the event, there isn't anything for post Chapter 14 content. This will most likely change in V14 however.

you're missing graphics. reinstall your game.

She should be standing outside the hospital. By chance did you convert your savefile before completing the main story?

It needs to be night time to trigger the event.

You can resubmit

Please provide a screenshot of the error

It will be available when the mod releases.

We have a Discord server now! Join here: https://discord.gg/69pSkRFKH7 16/12/2023 Dev Blog Welcome to our first Dev Blog for the mod! It has been one week since we officially announced the mod, and opened team submissions, and, uh, boy was there a LOT more input, and submissions than we thought there would be. So, paint this scenario in your head, we post the team submission thread, thinking that there would be maybe, I don't know, 20-40 submissions? Until one lovely Monday morning I wake up, take a look, and oh boy. That is uh, not 40 submissions. What the hell. So, it has been a long week of organizing, rating, contacting users about team changes, and deciding whos team is in, and whos is not. I am happy to say that we have finished wave 1 of submissions, and in total, have accepted a total of 76 teams. Yikes, this is going to suck to put into the game, why did we do this? So, anyways! You can find all of the accepted teams here! Don't see your team here? Don't worry, you can submit another team on wave 2, which will be discussed a little later in the blog. It was pretty difficult at times figuring out whos team we wanted to accept, as there were a lot of really good teams. Also, fun fact! There were a total of 15 Big Top Field teams submitted, and we had to ban the field after day 2, nice job guys! Okay, enough of team discussion, lets get onto the good stuff. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ New additions to the Dev Team Not only did we get a lot of people submitting their teams into the mod, but we also had a good hand full of people interested in contributing their skills as well. Since the last post, we brought on 4 new spriters / artists! IronicOmens Candii JohnZth CeriseCrescent If you see them around in chat, make sure to give them a warm welcome to the team. Additionally, we will be showing off some of their custom Aevian forms that they have made for the mod in this post, and future blog posts. We are still looking for Scripters and Map Developers, so if you are interested, shoot me a message on Discord. If you are a spriter/artist that is interested, feel free to message me as well, however we are not actively looking for anymore at this time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ New Aevian Form Showcase Alrighty, Aevian forms! We have more to showcase this week. Also, fun fact, with the team having 6 artists now, we are probably making more then 10 Aevian forms. It has kinda gone out of control. But anyways, here they are! And with those new reveals, comes one more thing involving the forms. We are letting you, the community, vote on our next Aevian form. Which will be a defensive Water-Type Aevian Pokemon. You can cast your vote here! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Team Submission: Wave 2 For wave 2, we are only accepting the most creative teams this time, rather than the strongest ones. This means teams should be taking full advantage of field effects on every team member. Team effects will now be banned for Wave 2 submissions, and the only legendaries available are the ones that are not banned on the new Team Guidelines. You can use some of the teams that we accepted in Wave 1 for reference when designing your team. Wave 2 will last 1 week, and will be closed once the next Dev Blog is posted. Submit your teams here. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Discord Server As you can see at the top of the post, we now have a Discord server! We have evolved from our single-chat thread in the Reborn Discord, and now have the privilege of having more then 1 text chat. No longer will it be more chaotic than Rejuv-Gen! In the server, we will be showcasing and announcing mod updates, helping with teambuilding, and sprite suggestions, as well as some other stuff not mentioned. Feel free to join if you're interested! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That's all for this weeks post! We hope you're satisfied with what we have revealed this week. The next Dev Blog will go over Wave 2 teams, Aevian vote results, possible new forms and characters, and some other things. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The main reason it's limited to 1 per person is because we've had people submit up to 10+ teams. Not only would it be extremely unfair (since our goal is to have a max of 3 teams per field, but that isn't working out very well), but it also creates a LOT more work for me and the other devs, since we need to go through every team, evaluate it, make changes and recommendations, code and event it into the game, and test it. And with the current 100+ submissions, I feel that it would be more like 250+ if we allowed multiple from what I've seen in our modding thread tbh.

Rejuv legal movesets only.

There has been 10 new submissions that we haven't gone over yet since last night, so you will find out when we check over them again. I pray for sanity that there are none.

Any of the sprites from rejuv can be used as a template.

No, as stats and moves are not released. Yes No

Big Top Field is now banned from further team submissions, due to there being a total of 12 teams with it, out of a current total of 73.

There is a google form at the top of the thread that will let you submit your team

We will not be making the full spritesheets public until release.

Yes, there are options for this on the form

There is no current deadline.

Hi everyone, it appears I forgot to include things like Trainer Name, and Trainer Class in the form. If you submitted a team, PM me on Discord with this information. Additionally, if I don't have this information, I will PM you for it if your team is selected. Sorry for the hassle!

Anything that is in its rejuv move pool is allowed, yes.

Yeah, we don't plan on adding any custom submitted forms / moves, but there are plenty of options for a mono dark themed team

Yes. There will be a unique event, and item used to evolve a regular Sycther into Aevian Scizor.

Normal is fine
