Solarance 1 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Where was this popularity list? I think it was just based on views and replies. Link to post Share on other sites
pbood2 3 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I know we can do it. I'm so happy for the Revolution members and community for getting this far and making it to second in popularity but it'll take a while to catch up to Seven but I know we can. WOOHOO! Yes Solar and Trevo it was based on views and replies but mostly views apparently. Upbeat you're very helpful so don't worry about that. Just come to the doc more often and leave suggestions for your character and stuff lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Drymus 0 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The hype is very real. I can understand why you guys chose to reduce the number of people working on the story, it probably had the potential to become a train wreck if left unchecked. Good luck, guys! I'm sure this will be great! Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 876 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 A mate just advised me of this, but Revolution is second in fan game popularity. We're coming for ya Se7en...... Now, now, popularity drives from many different things and views and comments hardly make one game more popular. NGL, I probably know more about Se7en's team cast and what they've done and shown is very impressive for a fan game. 3 of them are fellow RPers and I can tell you that they can come up with a story as good, if not better than anything I can. They've five steps ahead of us, which is why we're probably taking different approaches than they are. You really can't say much until we have something out that people can play. (I suppose the same goes for them as well). The hype is very real. I can understand why you guys chose to reduce the number of people working on the story, it probably had the potential to become a train wreck if left unchecked. Good luck, guys! I"m sure this will be great! It kind of has been. That's why I pretty much disbanded the whole writing team to work on other parts of the game. I mean 85% of the time it's me hammering out the ideas and the system in place has many, many issues which are slowly going to be worked out. In about a week from today, I'll have more free time and be able to power through since I kind of removed most of the filters but one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now for that announcement most of you already know. I'll cover the first one: there may be some alterations to some characters. Due to how ambiguous some apps are, there are holes I may have to fill or things that straight up won't work for a game. For that reason, I may have to change a few names of the characters due to some conflicts that could happen. Some of you are probably new to character creation, but self-inserts are a big no. If you know you kind of did that, let me know and how you want to change it. I'll give you a couple examples of what is ok and what's not: Let's suppose that I submitted a character named John. John is based exactly off of me (including the name) and is a kid who is lazy and procrastinates all day, but is also super smart. Let's say, we have to many intelligent people and I kind of wanted to make him look less educated due to his laziness. Said person may see this in the game and it may insult them...causing a war I do not want. Now let's suppose I myself created a character called Ulltima Commander Spade. The character usually takes the alias of Commander due his power-hungry nature and feels everyone should refer to him as the position. He is a very respectful and understandable person who rarely disobeys orders. Let's suppose the writer had a position where he needed someone to stick out and hated a little bit more so the character gives a bit of arrogance around weak trainers which makes gets a bit cocky to the point he underestimates the player and loses. I probably wouldn't feel as insulted given the character only shares my avatar name and really isn't me at all. I mean I'll try to be reasonable in my actions, but some things just aren't possible or too difficult to implement. There's also the fact I don't want clone characters or character that'll pretty much just be bland and boring due to the conditions in which some personality alterations would prevent a character from being shoved out of the picture ASAP. So if you know you're kind of in this situation, the you might want to PM me to resolve this otherwise I have to take action. It's not because I want to, it's to cover my ass in case the worst case scenario appears. --------------------------------------------------- Now for the brighter news, we're finally getting an official team together. I'm not going to give specific what we need or like because I have to confirm who's who right now. We don't have an official spriter...so I'm kind of forced to teach everyone a bit on spriting and pretty much sacrifice most of my time from creating the story ideas and unique features into making sprites to fill that role. So unless we get someone who'll do quite a bit of spriting, story quality is going to take a bit of a dip (since I can't really work on it except maybe once a week at most). And yes, we are pretty much taking people if they're willing to commit (no skills required). One of the benefits is that you get a lot of say in the story on "draft days" as I call them.

nepeta100 57 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 elite four spots were taken a long time ago, there was only one, I don't know if youre joking or not just keep in mind as of now there is no open slots to make a character for revolution Link to post Share on other sites
SnowGlaceon 12 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 SnowGlaceon will be returning soon™. Literally tomorrow. Or today. Depends on time zones. And yeah, E4 spots have been gone for a while Link to post Share on other sites

It's not because I want to, it's to cover my ass in case the worst case scenario appears. Mmmm, good point, cloning characters with almost the exact same personality is rather boring all around. Well if anything, I'm okay with any changes in my character Commander, just let me know what changes there are so I won't get rammed up the ass by all the different stuff.

Trevore 76 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Pokemon Revolution hasn't been released yet, yes. However, Episode 1 is currently in development! Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 876 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 This is just a little update to know what is going on. I would love to show you guys something, but right now we only have fragments of things to show off. At some point maybe we'll throw a tease, but even my main department, story, is still being worked on. You'll be happy to know that I finally have an overall general sketch of what the entire thing will look like minus a few little holes I'm working to fill. Now I just need to fill in all the tiny stuff. We've also now pushed into the development of episode 1 so that people can start working at their own pace instead of waiting for me and allow me more time to work on revisions and such. There's also a small little announcement I wanted to make: Trevo has been promoted to basically taking everything I and the group creates and putting it into a format we can use aka dialogue. We're actually taking this with more of a story based approach (which might surprise some of you) while trying to keep the game challenging and fun. Lots of interesting things have been popping up so even if you thoroughly read everything in the docs, on this page, and everything I created in the drafts, I still probably could surprise you. Anyways, I just wanted to say we're still alive, and still working on the game. Only thing we still are looking for are spriters if someone wants to take a shot at in that category as it's only Aqua and I at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Jacobliterator 2 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 I am officially creating a new development group for Revolution. I will analyse any and all interested in creating this fangame. This crew will be the Daft Punk of development groups. Harder, better, faster, stronger. Here's people I'm looking for: Spriters-You don't need to be legendarily good, just capable. (You can stay if you want Aqua.) Storywriters-Probably the most important, I would really appreciate anyone with even some experience. Programmers-I'm adept with RPG Maker, but it would help to have someone else to assist with this. Conceptualists-People to help bring the world to life. If you wish to be any of these, PM me ASAP. Your assistance would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 876 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Final Edit-Revolution was established as a project to unite the best of Reborn as one and create a fan game with those people, but due to certain circumstances, all work on Revolution is permanently stopped effective immediately. All I wanted was a way to give back to the Reborn community, making friends along the way, and this was the thanks I got. I feel I have a right to speak up about this considering what has happened. This is one of those rare ideas that the developer isn't the main story writer, and due to certain conditions and to so much uncertainty, I had to take control of certain areas in order to actually make a plot and for things to start running smoothly. Actually, I pretty did do quite a few changes...though apparently it was being frowned upon and causing tension who the leader was. This caused many conflicts down the line, but due to how the leadership was going, there was nobody stopping it. I decided to put an end to this by taking everything I worked on for this game with me since that seemed to be a huge core of this problem. Apparently, nobody was willing to step in to end the fighting out of fear of losing my plotline design. Trust me, the four of us had a little talk and when we figured out what happened, we decided it was best to leave and remove as many traces as we could to what this plot was going to be. There were so many things to consider when making the plot and choices I had to make from either the moral choice or stronger and better plot choice. Generally, I tried taking a balance of the two. It's kind of sad to considering the plot was near completion never to be touched again. I hold in my hand a countless amount of hours of work of plot and character building. While not complete, many ideas such as Callaghan being a main antagonist for Ultima came about. While they were my ideas, they were not my characters so if anyone is curious and want to know what would've come about their character, I will let them know in a PM. What is done with the ideas for them is entirely up to the original creator of that character. That's what I feel is a fair bargain in all of this instead of me keeping many of these ideas only to rot in time. Link to post Share on other sites

pbood2 3 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 and ghost gym leader is also and if you go to the dev doc Jacob, you'll understand why that is so. Good luck getting your team and I know you will make this game amazing. I just decided I needed to leave and to do my own things which I am now and I'm happier and freer than I've been before. Have a great day/night though. Link to post Share on other sites

WavesBlade 0 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I am officially creating a new development group for Revolution. I will analyse any and all interested in creating this fangame.

SnowGlaceon 12 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is somewhat sudden what's going to happen with the game are we going to have a long hiatus or is revolution done for good No, Revolution is not done for good. Finally got caught up with my schoolwork, what the hell did I miss. Good question, I'm just as confused, though I think I have more information than you. I should probably check the doc sometime. Not sure how much I can say, but this is to the other guys who worked on the project. Going to also try an avoid ranting here. I feel as if the reason this all happened is pretty silly. If I'm piecing this together properly, it was a matter of distrust and lack of faith. I think it was baseless too. While I could start pointing fingers and accusing various people of various things, I have a limited amount of time, so I'll keep it concise. Before you start making claims and accusations, make sure you have the proof to back it up. Just because something doesn't go the way you want, doesn't mean you have to quit. You'll never get anywhere like that. Last thing, why can't we use the plot line that we have? Also, side note: Passive Aggression doesn't work with me. You know who you are.

Commander 876 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Sigh...Jacob isn't around right now so I suppose I should clarify the situation. The current situation isn't as bad as it seems as I had second thoughts on what I did. Yeah, this might seems silly because the whole thing was silly. Basically for the past month or so, there have been many many arguments causing a lot of story development to halt. Things just kept building up and getting uglier and uglier for the story side of things and there really wasn't any side getting a resolve to this whole conflict. Bandages at the most as I would say. Truthfully, it was a few PMs that set me off and pretty much made me want to be done with this, but my god were we all acting like children. Telling Jacob I couldn't use any of my story pretty much was the only way to end the whole mess, but I do think it was a little too extreme, but again, my stress had enough with this so I did what I could to get myself out of this. Right now, I sent a PM to Jacob to discuss what we should do about the situation. WaveBlade, if I don't hear from Jacob in a week, I will begin discussing the drafts I had to you and we can try and settle on what should be done while we wait for Jacob to come back on. I want no one else to be a part of this though as we try and fix this giant mess. It is possible I will do the plot, but under the current situation, some changes will have to be made due a certain unexpected character being removed. But yes, I did give Jacob back the rights to the ideas and Episode 1 progress should continue (though I'm actually in the dark what exactly has been done). So yes, things are a little bit rocky as they are right now, but for the time being, Aquawaffle and SnowGlaceon are the only two official members of Revolution and the only ones I will discuss the current story situation with as the events unfold. Right now, I'm just trying to settle this out so it won't happen again, even if it means replacing me. It is also possible we completely rewrite the story entirely but keep some old concepts. So yeah, please don't ask me about the current situation of Revolution because I don't entirely know and I'm trying to get it back on its feet again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for people removing their characters or want to replace the new ones, we are currently not taking any characters until this is settled out. I did have the ground gym spot and we had a backup for the Ghost gym which might be used. If you remove a character though, that does not mean that spot becomes vacant. The plot I had wasn't complete, but was near completion, but we do not know what will become of that plot until we sort this mess all out. If you have concerns or questions, I am very limited to what I can answer, but I will discuss a bit about the character if you are considering removing yours. Link to post Share on other sites
nepeta100 57 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 okay thanks for the explanation I feel a little better now I have full faith that you guys can sort out this mess Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 876 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Okay, I have a bit of good news and a bit of bad news. The good news is that we resolved the main issue at hand. Basically, the train is back on it's tracks for development, but there are going to be some changes. Nothing is official yet, but we are more or less back to normal...for the time being. Something is definitely going to come out of this situation as the writing team is going to be getting a few new policies regarding how thing are done. By policies, I mean the next person who causes a warzone is getting booted out of Revolution for good, character included. Now for the bad news, Revolution is going to be on a hiatus for a bit of time. Do not worry, it will come back. We've put a lot of time and effort in it to simply let it rot. For the next few days, I will be discussing how we will go about this. There are already going to be some slight revisions due to the loss of our ghost leader (who was a BN admin), but we actually had something interesting going on when things got tense. During my time as storywriter, there have been some interesting discussions about a character to fill in for the ghost leader role. Vladamir Demasque was actually in development shortly before I left. He's a bit of an older, well-mannered gentleman and quite wealthy with his haunted house. He's not finished, but I thought I might throw something at you to see if it perks any interests. Even though it would break the one leader per person rule, if it is well received, I will create an app for him on here for all to see. I still need to put the finishing touches on him (too bad he doesn't have a sprite yet). Edit: The hiatus likely won't last more than two weeks, but I'll be getting to work now.

Trevore 76 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Here's a little bit of a news update on what's going on. Revolution is not dead, but we took a bit of a hiatus, as it was predicted by the Mayans (Just kidding! It was C who said that it would be on hiatus for a bit, so it's not the end of the world, right?). What we have been doing is Draft Days, which is pretty much revisions of Episode Drafts. For now, we have been revising Episode I, because, well, it is the first episode. We apologize for the long wait of hiatus, and hope that we can continue as such. Do have a good day. Sit back, and enjoy some tunes while you all wait for any more upcoming news. ^-^ Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 876 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sorry for the lack of news, I was waiting for something. Thanks to Shia, we actually now have an official trainer sprite (well...we were going to use Jacob's, but Shia knocked it out of the park). If you go to her sprite shop page, you can see what the male BN grunt will look like. And before you ask about a female...that's going to be on the to do list for a later episode.
