character art + call for scripting help~ (Patreon)

i come bearing A R T

this isn't even new i just hadn't posted this we did this back in MARCH

...

...we did this in march?

...no shhhhhh. sssshhhhHHHHH. that's not real don't listen to her she knows not what she says.

shout out to Falcon for working on the fantastic design here! we have this fellow's other arts all finished up already too but i figure we should probably start at square one, non?

unfortunately we will not be sharing any additional information about him at this time because this dumbass doesn't even remember his own name. loser. c'mon, that's like the first thing they ask you in video games. get it together

in other news we are SEVERAL patches deep into the VIP testing for reborn, and it has mainly been like three people but i APPRECIATE THOSE PEOPLE VERY MUCH. 

anyway, for everyone else who is interested in testing reopening, here's how it's going: basically everything that's related to calling trainers or pokemon that ISN'T the core systems is broken. like nightclub. hall of fame. the psychologist. it's actually not too much, "everything" is an overstatement, but some of those things are a bit higher effort than quick-fixes. so, I can't reallllly promise an ETA, but unless something dire happens I would be surprised if it took more than a couple weeks to get it out to the rest of y'all. 

in the meanwhile, we've already adopted a couple more QoL things, like the evolution animation is now skippable, and the EXP All will show whether it's off or on in your bag like rejuv.

big shouts to enumag for handling the lion's share of the work on bugfixing so far
but isn't that weird? he's the dev ops guy! he doesn't do the devs, he ops the devs! what i'm saying is, we could actually use a little bit of help!

so, if you are a human, and you have some coding experience and want to help out with bugfixing, maybe shoot us a message! or, if you are a human who doesn't have coding experience but wants to get some and thinks you could learn with a bit of hands-off guidance, maybe shoot us a message! it's volunteer work, but pokemon is still fun, and these days that's just called an 'unpaid internship' anyway.

one these days this week i'm gonna go through my own list of improvements and see what all i can fuck up too...

call me~
