SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON(TM)

Linux build too, for those of us that have turned our backs on the capitalist overlords? Is there even any difference between the builds?

The last time the devs said "soon(tm)" was nearly a year ago so I'm a bit suspicious.

Anyway you don't need to overwork yourselves.

Anyway you don't need to overwork yourselves. 

The developer trap: "but what if?" => suddenly double the amount of work

And here I gave in and started a new run. Should I commit, or should I wait for the v13?

Choices, choices...

The hype is real now. V13 is finished when it is finished and I hope the Rejuv team  don't get any pressure to work on the game when you don't have the time or motivation.
 

I have one question: What gamemaking program are you using to create pokemon Rejuv? Is RPG maker XP or something else?   

Soon, my plan for having two runs going on at once shall be granted exclusive rights to begin! That'll be a fun (albeit potentially tedious) time, methinks~

I think I'm gonna have to settle with Ye Olde Lag for a bit though, considering how badly Ame and Cass freaked out upon seeing my specs back when the Starlight Divide demo first came out...

So everything is coming along nicely, but QQ what does the (tm) in that "soon(tm)" mean? I have a theory but I gotta be sure

Awesome! I am so psyched for this game's update!!!!!! Hopefully all goes well when I use my save file from V12. :P 

I haven't been here as long as some of the others, but I can't wait to restart my game! I hope everything else goes just as smoothly.

My game crashed when I tried to open my save, my last save location was Goldenleaf town, pls fix. Jokes aside, I can't wait for V13, so much hype!

This is positively poggers!!! 

Time to pick Torchic again for the 14,000,605th playthrough~

This told me nothing I already knew but I can't wait to play the game so idc

To be fair last time they said "soon(tm)" was a little under 4 months ago (unless someone can find a more recent post): 
 https://www.rebornevo.com/rejuvdev/records/mega-medium-sized-post-v13-updatecontent-showcase-r24/?ct=1617642324

Granted four months doesn't fall under the definition of "soon" for some people I'd imagine, but as mentioned by Zumi It's more of a running gag at this point.

I get it though, honestly I'm personally guilty of coming to kind of hate the word whenever I see it in a dev update post ;-P

Will there be any difficulty transferring save data from the current engine to game-z or will it just do it automatically?

:ZumiShrug:

So how to decide between using the MKXP version or the regular RMXP version? Which one is better?

I would probably save at Grand Dream City residential area since that’s where V12 ended just in case. I would also have to prepare grinding up some of my Pokémon despite playing casual mode while I wait. Not sure what surprises await, but I’ll find out eventually when it’s out.

As has been said before, MKXP will make your game run faster and is therefore the better option (assuming your pc can handle it)

nice work bruv

keep it going

cant wait for the game to FINALLY come out!!!!!!!

What he said! Every Day! *.* I love this game so much!

LETS GOOOO + any chance i can move my file that was originally on windows to play on the new mac version of rejuv instead?

On 4/4/2021 at 11:13 AM, Zumi said:

It's a version of the game that uses the MKXP engine rather than the RMXP engine. It runs much, much faster and works a lot better on newer pc's.

Never got the game-z to work properly. Not sure if my PC with components from 2019 is already too old...

And...

Sooooooon? TM

I have never been more excited in my entire life.

Still check it out every day. Damn, its so long...

Dude i know right

I regularly check it out as well

I created an account just to say thank you to this post. 

Seeing the completion bar at 90% fills me with glee.

Wth? I blink, and suddenly 97%.

Is Soon(tm) actually furreal Soon(tm)??

I gotta hurry up with my Volt White 2 run then 0.0

97% POG!!!

97%.

Everything will soon be right with the world.

(Unless the Puppet Master ends up taking over the whole forum like our Bladestar overlords did around the time V12 got finished)

97%
Ahhhhhh....just what I needed for early summer :)

Also hyped for getting to play all the previous content for the 3rd time

oh my God 97!!!!!!!

("SOON" he said)

97% pretty awesome ngl

It's almost time... After checking this website daily for nearly two years...

and it's completely worth the goddamn wait. Thank you Jan : )

Omg it's almost time!!

cant wait, vibrating with anticipation.

Refreshing 2 times a day awaiting one of those percentages to go up by 1

No one knows when v13 will be out.  As someone mentioned before even if the total completion on the site says 97% they most likely still need to do closed testing after it reaches 100%.
I'd be hesitant to predict any sort of release date at this point.  I made that mistake previously based on a timeframe Jan gave us saying a Spring/Summer release date would be too long of a wait, yet we are coming up on the middle of May currently with no concrete date.
A lot of delays occurred from unexpected factors of course, so right now the politically correct answer is:
"It'll be out when it's ready."

We are currently doing internal testing as of right now!

idk if the question got answered, but what is the matter with dynamax? Is it coming to the game? If so you in every battle? And a additional question what about raids? Or are these features of gen 8 too "bad" or "broken" in some sort?

btw loving the game, cant wait for ep 13

Don't quote me on this, but i think i remember seeing in the development blog that dynamax is instead being replaced with mega-evolution of the pokemon that get dynamax forms. e.g toxtricity, duraludon, etc.

I think it might be for the best considering dynamax would confuse the game, especially since it renders z-crystals useless. Furthermore, the code needed to do it would be incredibly complicated and more or less useless considering it's really not needed. It might not be confirmed, but i'm pretty sure i saw a post talking about it.

And yeah, i'm also hyped for V13 too :)

Must be a lot of things going on in the game. Its been sometime since last version of both reborn and rejuvenation. What should we expect? Almost forgot about the story except Melia's name and angie giving me a hard time

Didn't look for the tumblr post made by Jan, but I did find confirmation from Zumi:
 

On 3/19/2020 at 3:55 PM, Zumi said:

No dynamax, but it's true that Gmax mons are being implemented as custom megas -- Jan confirmed this a while back on his tumblr. We're still working out the details for them, but we'll do our utmost to make them similarly balanced like the canon megas!

Please... You guys could not even read this post, but if you do, just know that im really greatfull for you guys. Really... Pokemon Reborn and Rejuvenation are Such majestic pieces of work, rejuvenation is my favorite fangame, and i believe its even better then the original games! No matter what, please continue and finish this piece of art, i would 100% be sad if those fangames ended up been discarted, i really Need to play the full games. In resume, just know im really greatfull for everything this game can offer, and im happy i am able to play it. Please, never give up!

Hi, so this is my first post, like, ever and I want to make good use of it to thank Jan and the development team for this fantastic game! It is really hard to exaggerate how good it is. Thank you all! :-) Excited for what's to come!

P.S.: Also, yes, this is me looking at those goddamned bars on a daily basis!!!!

Hohoho, I don't know for how long I've been checking this site every 12 hours by now. And I'm not even that veteran here, other people have been waiting v13 for even longer than I have.

But the wait will be worth every second. I know it, you know it, Jan and the team know it. This will be my biggest and longest pokemon playthrough since Reborn v18 and it's gonna be glorious.

Well I've known the game for a long time, I just haven't been active around here is all. I am personally so hyped about the new story and content. Damn, they even implemented some changes to the world itself. Hope they gave Flareon that fucking crest already lol

Come on, mate :) . No rushing them. It'll be out soon enough for sure. Better a great, fully tested than a frustrating, buggy game experience. Just a bit more patience. Have faith . soon^TM

to be honest, even if it was buggy i would still play and enjoy it. you would just have keep track what actions not to do.

Unfortunately this isn't really feasible on our end. Logistically speaking it's a much bigger hassle to deal with 100 people reporting the same common bugs over and over again, which is why internal & alpha testing take place before public release so we can catch the most common ones early by only a handful of people, and won't have to worry about having these same common issues in public release, making it possible to sift through more different uncommon bugs people find in the public release faster. That way we can keep things easier for us to manage as well!

 

New story is meant in the sense of that a new chapter of the game is being added, so the story continues from where it ended in V12.

 

There are also a ton of revisions coming with V13 to older content in order to improve story flow and/or fleshing/balancing things out better where the game was lackluster at first -- partially based on feedback we've received over the course of time, but also simply because we ourselves realized that some stuff needed improvement.

 

 

And trust me guys, we're aware of how excited you all are for the release of V13. Hell, we all on the dev team are super stoked for people to finally play the game again after two years! But we really do need to get through the last few layers of testing to make sure the game doesn't break at every turn or at crucial moments, so bear with us a little longer please!

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you schould release a buggy version. I meant that IF i had a buggy version i would still play because i am just that excited for it. Don't worry about time. I'd bet even if it took another year people would still be waiting. Its a great game with a great story (way better than the official ones in my opinion) so it's worth waiting longer for the devs to feel ready to release it.
