Trevore 76 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hello, fellow Revolutionaries! I just wanted to take the time to give a quick update on what's going on in the Revolution factory. We had a little bit of a hiatus (Almost two months!) due to busy, busy things, such as finals, academics, gaming, and other things. However, I'm happy to say that we are back, with a new staff member! Some of you might remember Axxel, the creator of Pokemon Arcane, which eventually split into that, and this, which became known as Pokemon Revolution. Axxel has returned, and is now helping us make Revolution a reality! First, over the last few months, we've had some sprites made. Namely Trevore (Which I eventually adopted as my second name), Falcone, and Travix, all made possible thanks to Shia! For now, we're working on overworld sprites, such as Trevore, Falcone, and Gavin, but eventually going to work on others, such as Brian. Second, I'm not sure if this happened a long while ago, or if it happened just recently, but SnowGlaceon is officially one of the staff members too! Finally, since Winter Break is nearing for most people already, development of Revolution's Episode 1 will continue! I want to thank you all for waiting patiently. Some might have already thought this was dead, but fear not! We are alive and well, and ready to continue the Revolution! Viva la Revolution! (I can't believe we are at 800 posts now! ) Link to post Share on other sites
nepeta100 57 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 thanks for the update are we still using the google docs page or is everyone in the dark except staff members until a news update is put on this thread Link to post Share on other sites
Trevore 76 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 From what I see, I think the document is still going to be there. For a while, there have just been a few other documents that do leave most in the dark, but like the update post I have posted, we will do our best to keep you all updated whenever there is something done like sprites, story, dialogue, etc. (I'm hoping we can find the mechanic for a status thread of our own, but I suppose we'll wait after a few episodes and get a good foot with Revolution before doing that.

nepeta100 57 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just wanting to double check does anyone now if Jacob still working on this game or is it cancelled because there have not been any updates for a long time Link to post Share on other sites
pbood2 3 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I know what's happening but I do believe Jacob or Trevore or Commander should post more frequent updates for the progress of Pokemon Revolution for the people not as informed. No offense to Jacob's approach. Just my opinion. I am super excited for what Revolution has planned though. Link to post Share on other sites
Commander 875 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I know what's happening but I do believe Jacob or Trevore or Commander should post more frequent updates for the progress of Pokemon Revolution for the people not as informed. No offense to Jacob's approach. Just my opinion. I am super excited for what Revolution has planned though. First off, we decided not to make updates due to infrequent flex of progress due to many of us working on other projects combined with school. I also stepped down from my involvement other than drafting the original storyboard which also slowed progress. Once progress was getting close to completion, we would make updates and announcements instead of giving empty or worthless news and excuses why the first release isn't out yet. That's why we decided to keep any progress underground just in case something does happen so that we don't have a ton of super disappointed people. The other reason is that things are subject to change based on our abilities due to the lack of artists in our department. In truth, I wanted this to stay hidden and buried after all the shit that hit the fan and stuff. Would you really blame me after an incident that could've involved me losing ace occurred due to some unnecessary drama? The current team (Snow, Jacob, Trevor, and I) is on good standing and most of the work falls onto Jacob with me only jumping in to give a couple pointers. Unfortunately, we can't show off any progress at this point since most of it is super spoilery and for other reasons. And just as an FYI, please don't answer questions addressed to our team for us.

Tempo17 0 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Will this be planned to be released in episodes with 1-2 gyms per episode with a "arc" being about 3-4 episodes long. Or will this just get one huge release Link to post Share on other sites

That's almost correct, but not entirely. I will be making an update during beta testing that the game will come out very soon just so people have enough time to look back at the forum and see what we've done. All that will be said is it's coming soon so be prepared and will be posted a couple days before the game's release. Regular updates though, will not be posted due to my erratic schedule.

Or will this just get one huge release This one I can answer myself. Releases will actually be 1 gym per episode type deal although some episodes may have more than one badge depending on what the team ultimately decides. I did design this with kind of a three arc system with the first arc possibly being the only arc if it puts too much stress on the team to go for a full on project. The current story has been drafted up to episode 8 which after a couple episodes will make some final decisions where to go with the plot. Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, that is a good explanation that hits home with some of my projects too. The reason why I don't say too much about them is because I want to get shit done first, then reveal. While it is good to get the crowd going and hyped, it also severely kills the hype if there are just small unnecessary details but never the big picture. Maybe it was good that we didn't put a status bar, but who's to say for sure. I still think the project is going along okay. Better than it was going before, but it's getting there. Also, in case some of you guys are wondering just where the HELL my brother is, well he's off working on his own projects too. If it's alright with Jacob, maybe he might be one of the beta testers, but idk. Until then, he might just be AWOL from Revolution and/or Reborn as he always is. Link to post Share on other sites
