some sprites and update (Patreon)

hi kids gramethyst griddell here with a grokemon greborn update for you all

well, kind of. 

it's definitely grokemon, but it's not gonna be greborn for a long while, anyway here's grondergrall

some credit to split: the original front sprites are mainly conyjam's, with grookey being from kingofthexroads, and rillaboom front and back from eventhorizontal. the rest of the backsprites are original. zumi also helped polish some of the front sprites before me as well, i believe, but i've also gone over all of those.

another note, which will apply to all gen 8 sprites i work on: since i'm not leading the spriting project this time, what i post here is just the work i'm contributing and may not reflect what makes it into the games at final check. all is subject to change, or just be yeeted out entirely.

that project has been sort of slow moving (which is probably fine), so i've just been doing one speices a day for a while. i'll post more in the future. likely we'll do some on stream in the future too.

speaking of stream, i have a mapping stream prepared for you all -- finally-- now that what i'm mapping won't be a spoiler. unfortunately, i'm still going to give myself a little more time so that you all don't have to listen to me coughing through half the stream..........
but we will get there eventually i swear :<

progress: i finished one legendary quest a week or two ago, but the dev blog could've told you that. what the dev blog can't tell you is that i'm also most of the way through another and i expect to finish tomorrow.
you know, barring shenanigans.
shenanigans like being unable to test because even trying to skip battles crashes the game after a gen 8-related code bug

:[

(it's a solvable problem i'm mrr)

mrrrr
