Miss Amethyst's Medley of Miscellaneous Modifications (Patreon)

it's that time again-- time for the kind of post that's easiest to make: nothing but a bullet point list of little bite-sized bits. today's theme: fucking no theme at all. here's a bunch of mostly-unrelated changes i've been making to the existing game lately because i meant to do it later on but got impatient!

• the mega ring can now be obtained immediately upon arriving to neo reborn city, but only before starting the devonyx arc of the story (due to some unseen complications (see what eye did there (wink wink)))
• the second and third city restoration projects can now be done after titania and amaria instead of after amaria and hardy
• fly now has a gen-3 styled overworld animation (the lil black swoopy bird)
• implemented a script to help with overlapping/priority at map connection points-- previously unfixable (despite many efforts...)
• implemented a script to make the fluttery animation when walking through grass etc display below trees and other objects that would be on top of it, finally.
  this has been bothering me since episode 1.
  big thanks to KleinStudios for the above three points' scripts
• the mart screen has been recolored to suit reborn, after the fact that it hadn't been for the past seven years slapped me directly in the face
• PULSE avalugg's moves have been updated to suit new field changes and also not suck as much
• the overworld poison animation that flashed the screen red has been yeeted into the void in favor of this:
• money obtained from repeatable trainers has been cut to 20%
• seeds are now more expensive, costing 4000.
• rare candies are now cheaper, costing 12000.
• added loudred to aventurine woods, making the whismur line no longer missable
• tentacool has been added into the early-mid game via good rod
• trapinch has been axed to route 2 in favor of bruxish. i'm aware that nobody wanted this. sorry not sorry.
• julia's arena has been adjusted to use about 110 fewer events and thus, not lag, like it shouldn't have in the first place
• an old familiar face has opened an incense shop in neo-beryl
• amaura has been added into the early game

more has already been implemented too but i'm waiting for just oooone or two more things before i talk about all that... soon™
