Fuck niggers, fuck kikes, fuck trannies, but especially fuck mods & jannies.My involuntary 2 day vacation is over, sorry to vanish on you all mid-playthrough.
>>56451962welcome back, I thought something else happened with your glasses prescription but it was jannies all along
>>56451973Apparently even alluding to a certain amphibian radio remix hoster on certain boards gets you a sitewide 2 day vacation now.
This route has Ominous Wind as a TM but that was one of the TMs in the store at the start of the game. Very odd.
The haunted house section of the game is so far the only thing that has been majorly narratively botched as far as I'm concerned, but it's a doozy.Shadow having suffered under the Royal's plans to use orphans brains for not-adrenochrome-we-swear and bodyhopping nonsense for transferring consciousness becomes just as bad as the people he held a grudge against in the present day by casually bodyjacking anyone who wandered into the house for no reason other than he thinks it'll bring him power.Easily the worst character in the game and an outlier low in an otherwise solid cast.
Calling it a night.>>56451962You went shitposting on /pol/ again kek? I caught a ban there a while back due to going a bit ballistic due to a theological that got violently derailed by a literal cuck.
I'm still not really feeling Rodolpho but I'm glad his Ditto is in this game and one of the biggest unsung heroes of the protagonists so far.>>56452017/v/ actually. I keep my /pol/ shitposting to a minimum because I'm convinced less than 1% of the posts are made by anons at this point and it's just shouting into the void. Occasionally you can find a good thread with actual people in it, but it's so thoroughly botted, jewed, and 'jeeted that you're ironically better off talking about /pol/ topics anywhere else on the site than /pol/ itself. Same for /x/ and I suspect /g/ will follow suit as well; they've been (((noticing))) a bit too much lately.
>The glowniggers roll out demoralization psyops regularlyThis game is alarmingly based on a lot of things

Oh no, he's retarded>>56453126Thanks bro.
The disgusted grunt noises Celeste makes in this section are spot-on. The little vocal noises for each character add so much to the game's presentation. I'm glad the spic games are standardizing this overall if Z is anything to go by.

>>>56453424I'm surprised so many of the trannyjannies are snoyim.
Gorilla to gorilla communication.
UH OH.>>56452037Yeah, it's pretty much the reason I don't go there anymore these days, half the board is bots, most of the other half is either feds or controlled opposition and the last bit are a small step up from cuckservatives at best, I went to gab for the longest time and so did a good chunk of actual people who browsed /pol/ but Turda went full kike and ruined his shitty site.>>56453394The glorification of freedumb is one of the most destructive poisons in this world and one of the most kiked things there are.
>WIN BATTLE, LOSE ANYWAY

Awww>>56453480I think a good fix would be to have something like Quirky mints available as lumber rewards early on so you can at least fix bad natures, but have to wait until later in the game to easily optimize. Given the dev's sense of humor, the DUDEWEEDLMAO jokes also practically write themselves too.
I really like the insinuation that protagonist-kun isn't choosing to be an uncharacteristically angsty faggot by choice and is under some kind of psychic attack.
Since I've been gone 2 days, here's what the current team looks like. 4 boosting sweepers and 2 bulky pivots has made mincemeat of every fight in the game so far that isn't Angie.
Parry this, casul
Eda, I think all that beer is rotting your brain.>>56453492That would be a decent fix and yup, I can imagine that as well.>>56453518Awwwww.
>Edward cucked Henry>Darek cucked Protagonist-kun>Protagonist-kun cucked LibertyFor all the youtube link jokes in this game, it's baffling to me that there's no link to the NTR /a/ song, because this game definitely believes nobody is above being cucked.A rare sight when a game applies it equally and not just to the protagonist.
I love the animation of Lucario and Blaziken pigging out every time there's a meeting here.>>56453527The Blaziken evolution scene was kino, even if Eda is an actual gorilla of a womanlet.
>>56453528That explains why protagonist-kun is hallucinating.

Battle Frontier being available here and not postgame is an interesting decision. I appreciate the tedium being trimmed down a lot as well.>>56453641kek. Gyarados has been more than pulling his weight, but I've been sneeded by scarfed or fast electric moves a couple times now. It's almost like there's counterplay or something.

>Half of the post-Surf TMs are the very same ones you can get as TRs via spending hours grinding for wood>The other shit locked behind most Surf areas is stuff like ultra balls and low rarity items
All 5 down. Given this game's lack of difficulty overall, I think the IV fixer is probably overkill and I won't use it, but it's nice to obtain it all the same.
It's the NTR region. Spectating while someone gets fucked is a practiced custom here.
Hmmmmmmmmmm..........>>56453732GG.

I'm glad this game understands how to write quirky and weird characters without devolving into Terraclones. Liberty absolutely mogs Terra as a gimmick character.>>56453960I really hope Samu lets the player pick their final waifu towards the end. There's so many good choices.>>56453944>Jew pokemon jews youWhat were you expecting kek?
>Performance is a mass human sacrifice ritualThis game is surprisingly redpilled on a lot of things
Based.
The ditto minigame is a bit buggy and defeated enemies have lingering hitboxes that last for a second or so after they "die", but all things considered it's a really cool idea.
As is usual, self-insert-ish characters ruin things.>>56453949Fair enough.>TYRONE NEGRO THE ULTIMATE BBC NTR GOD>>56453960>>56453994Kek.
It's one to have a grudge against horrible people who ruined your life, it's another to kill hundreds and steal their bodies, actually, why would he even need to steal bodies in the first place? Obviously his skill and memory set doesn't change, gonna choke it up to fetish shit.
Meowstic Grande.Some of the gen 6 mons seem a bit oversized, Talonflame included.
This really isn't necessary; this game's characters are mostly good enough they don't need to crutch on canon characters to function or be taken seriously in the story.>>56454184Yeah this faggot is no better than the people who were farming people in the orphanage. >>56452005
Don't miss the Master Ball in the laboratory before you leave bros, it looks like it's permanently missable.
Taking a break for a bit.>>56454186Malamar's sprite looks like a fucking barrel with tentacles, dunno why the gen 6 mons specifically seem to have such weird proportions.>>56454213Could be worse, at least he's not Avitstein levels of judaism and he at least has the excuses of ghostly shit fucking with his head as well as trauma I guess.

>Blaziken usersighhhh>>56454335Main cast is all original. The not-Colress lady is a relative to Colress apparently. >>56454213>>56454377Thanks.
A rebornlike would make you fight an unfun 2v2 here with a gimped or actively sabotaging partner. This game keeps the hype momentum built in the previous cutscene and lets you roll over them with a 12v6 for story purposes.
Narrowly beat this first try. My team claps Liberty's team very effectively.
In a single excellent scene, Shilldog justifies his entire existence in the game so far as a character and not just a forced generic starter.Cinema.
>>56454488>
forced marriage, huh? so glad that doesn't happen anywhere in the world anymore, hahaha
>>56454460GG>>56454488Sorstrannies.....
>Second best girl gives you the Mega RingHNNNNGThis game really is the spanish community's Mognum Opus; it's almost everything that Rejuv is trying to be, but actually competent at it keeping all of the loose threads together and creating satisfying payoffs while knowing when to be silly, when to be serious, and when it's okay to go a bit of the top weeb-y. Jan is experiencing cuckoldry transcending the fourth wall and even entire communities; it's truly the zenith of NTR games.>>56454493h-haha>>56454501Don't let this one pass you by bro, even if you're last to finish. This is easily the best game we've played in these threads this year.
it's so simple, this and when you see the mc's mom in the ward the first time in opalo, using a mom to tug at the heartstrings is such a simple and effective thing to do. I don't understand how jan managed to fuck it up
I lost because I didn't noticed edward gives scizor a choice band and I used swords dance, two tries.
>>56454516that's a glowing endorsement if i've ever heard one kek. i'll probably pick it back up either today or tomorrow. if the rest of you finish, i can just do it in a /vp/ plays whatever thread>>56454538y-you don't get it, chud! clearly, turning the mom into a weird robot digital copy thing made by some tsundere bitch that you've only actually known for a day at best and playing sappy music for when her ghost shows up in completely random scenarios is peak fiction!>>56454598GG
>>56454481gg, meanwhile my team eats shit to CHADonite's EQ kek>>56454488Honestly the entire palace raid section is great, hopefully they can manage to keep up the kino for the rest of the game>>56454501Sorskeks had been losing for a long while tbf kek>>56454598gg>Banded SD ScizorkekI think I just got lucky and swept with Gallade
REEEEEEEEEEERight when I praised the game for knowing when it was time to not shitpost, I find a Rickroll youtube link trashcan.>>56454598GG>>56454668I think you'll enjoy it. It doesn't take nearly as long as Opalo to get going I found, and even the "boring" section easily coasts on by with the map designs being so pretty.>>56454720Thanks.

They buff midway through the fight, but Amethyst was already eliminated causing a weird visual error.The first time this happened it softlocked the fight forcing a reset so I guess technically this took 2 tries, even though it was likely won the first time.
JARATE!
>>56454789gg
I got Unbreakable Ties downloaded. Is it worth playing?

This is the weirdest win fight, lose anyway cutscene yet.
Just when I thought the NTR quotient couldn't get higher, I don't know who's cucking who anymore.
>>56454812It's pretty solid and definitely worth playing.>>56454892>(((If you kill your enemies, you lose goyim)))

>>56455021The way i always get out of B.U,I checks, is by having a full team of Spindas. Its impossible for Officer Jenny to figure out if we are stumbling around drunk while fighting or if we're just retarded.

Taking a break for now. I suspect I'm near the end....Bros I genuinely don't want this one to end just yet.
>WIN BATTLE, LOS-*ACK*>>56455051The game fucking knows and I hate it.
Holy fuck the game is chugging miserably in the rainy route after the Eda gauntlet.
And lookie who's here watching over the player, thought I wouldn't be able to mark off that part of my bingo this time around, but nope.
Will go have to deal with some chores and making dinner, will come back later, also speaking of the bingo, kek, I did hear the king talking about key pieces and such, but it wasn't a direct chess analogy, and this game does treat Pokemon with justice, dunno if there's guns to be seen yet.
>>56455062I don't remember if you get a chance to add a 6th mon before these if you do I completely forgot to kek, so they were kinda spooky, but ultimately not really hard either>>56455087haha...It always sucks when the good games end...
>whine in other fangames about gauntlets>game presents optional gauntlet>do it without questioneda I'm almost ready just let me get a 6 pack. also I just remembered I don't have a save for vanguard anymore...ha...haha

finally some fucking justice of being cucked from other fangames, BURN IT ALL
>androids that can form artificial bonds with pokemonhopefully more games start stealing from opalo instead of rejuv
I went back to the tower to catch a Dreepy and Dratini for collection purposes and I guess I'm restructuring my team to use Dragapult now.>>56455130It's more the fear of having to watch those cutscenes again than anything else.>>56455280>>56455318>>56455433Enjoy the kino. You're coming up on one of the best sequences in any fangame made yet.
I think I feel bad...not sure, she did some really awful things

>>56455546This game does so much better at the>This villain is morally gray PLEASE SYMPATHIZE WITH THEMshit than Reborn and Rejuv do because it neither beats you over the head with it nor does it try and make excuses or apologize for what they've done.
It unironically takes a big man to openly admit when you're being mogged.
I'm taking lucario off of the shillmon list
>>56455616kek. Kino scene, isn't it?
Every time you think you've untangled the entire web of cuckoldry someone will undergo in this game, you find yet another thread...
Take this out of context as you see fit.
>>56455639it's two parts for me, it didn't stop you from blasting the android and melotta's tank so it was fine with justified rage, it's when you ape out completely and it stops you mid fight that seals that moment. this entire half hour or so has been cathartic, nuking the evil team and kicking the shit out of them without a hint of "we shouldn't hurt them even though they're mass murderers", so when lucario stops you it actually means something
>>56451748>Underwear>Spiraling tower Those are both Kamen Rider references and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>56455658I think the bit that won me over with that scene is that there's a difference between pretending they deserve to live vs giving them a dignified death and stopping them from being an unwilling accomplice to even more evil.>>56455661Given how weeb-y this game is, absolutely.
>Dragon Darts is shitcoded and only hits onceebin
>>56455666>Underwear from OOO>Pandora's Tower from BuildSo where's the Evolt expy you fight who has a whole team of snake mons

>>56455908GG bro.
From an outsider's perspective, this is very interesting. I've seen at least two bingos for this game almost fully marked with a lot of the usual shitty fangame tropes, and yet quite a few of you seem to be enjoying it all the same. Is it really that good, even with all those nitpicks?
>>56455516Yeah pretty much, Eda could potentially tear through a good portion of my team with Latias/Haxorus if Archaludon went down, so it was pretty scary, there really should've been a chance to save kek>>56455616Yeah, that scene put this Lucario in my shillmon exception list along with the LAWDS one kek>>56455908gg bro>>56456065Based list, should probably have done mine from more of a character standpoint rather than strictly a design point tbdesu>>56456899The execution also matters for a good bit of the slots, i.e. everyone here would probably agree that the execution scene in this game is much better written/executed Edgekino than, say, Reborn's lavadunk scene, despite them both falling under the same slotThough desu the bingo card doesn't really mean that much imo, they're mostly for fun rather than objective points against the game (for me anyway)
man I hope this doesn't end up getting someone hurt
>potentially missable steelix megastonethat's weird
used a lot of items for this. darek should've gone with alama, he really wasn't helpful at all. tried 3 times before items but whatever
>>56457461I found the easiest way through this one was that Scizor nearly sweeps Amethyst by itself, so if you can get Henry stuck on something kind of passive that Darek can't kill, you can turn the fight into a 2v1 (and probably soon to be a 1v1 given how useless Darek is) quickly to simplify it. GG
this game could surpass opalo and realidea, man that scene hits hard>>56457475thanks bro
think it was 8 tries, maybe a few more then that.https://streamable.com/wuztkg
>>56457649GG.Getting around F*tter M*ne was the hardest part of the fight for me.
>>56457663thanks bro. flutter mane and the amount of resources to disable serperior were the biggest hurdles
>>56457676I'm pretty sure I only got it first try because Leaf Storm missed Gen 6's Bravest Bird tbdesu. Beating Flutter Mane came down to paralyzing it with Gholdengo, using Umbreon to Snarl it a few times to get it unthreatening enough for Gyarados to set up 3 Dragon Dances against and clean the rest up for me.
feels weird after THAT scene still having lucario on your team, hopefully that'll change in the final version

>>56457759thanks bro. no I still have it, should I not?
I've scrapped and rewritten this review 4 times now goddamnit.>>56457764You seem to have encountered the most narrative-killingly bug possible kek>>56457759My Lucario set was Swords Dance, Drain Punch, ESpeed, Meteor MashI was slightly miffed when I saw Flutter Mane because that's pretty much the single practical case where Bullet Punch would've been better kek.
>>56457764No you're definitely supposed to lose it kek
>>56457780>>56457781oops. yeah it threw me into the rival fights on the beach and I was so confused, kek
>>56457780haha...that always sucks>I was slightly miffed when I saw Flutter Mane because that's pretty much the single practical case where Bullet Punch would've been better kek.Yeah, Espeed might be slightly better, but STAB + Adaptability makes Bullet Punch decently viable, and the difference after a SD is probably pretty negligible anyway kek>>56457791kek, it might've had something to do with which party slot it was in, I always kept him on slot 6
>>56457809>Bullet Punch vs ESpeedI didn't want to get 4MSS'd with 2 steel moves and couldn't justify giving up Meteor Mash. ESpeed also beats other priority every time too. I suppose Drain+Bullet Punch+Crunch+SD is an option, but that seems like it really wants to fish for 2 SDs in a lot more situations which is way higher teambuilding / setup commitment than I'm willing to give shillcario.>Party SlotMine was in slot 3 or 4 I think. Surely the IV Fixer doesn't make the game forget that Lucario is special. Did you debug your Lucario at all or anything and accidentally get rid of some internal identifier flag Bunken?Hopefully this doesn't cause eventing or mon overwrite issues in future versions when you get shilldog back.
>>56457841I think it was in slot 5. No, the only thing I even opened rpgmaker for was to try and get rid of all the youtube links, never even ran the game in debug mode.
Yeah I dunno kek>>56457841That's fair, I barely used Lucario anyway, so I didn't really mind kek>Surely the IV Fixer doesn't make the game forget that Lucario is special.Nope, mine got taken just fine kek>Hopefully this doesn't cause eventing or mon overwrite issues in future versions when you get shilldog back.>>56457883The best way to see is if Variable 999 has shit on it I guess, looks like it gets stored thereif it doesn't, there will very likely be a problem later kek
>>56457898is that in one of the map files? using the eevee program to read the files in visual studio, not sure where to look
Final playtime: 37 hours ingame time, but speedup fucks with that a lot.Whiteouts/Resets: 20+, literally all of them to Angie across the 2 recording attempts to beat the 'unwinnable' fight. +1 if you count that sequence where Eda gets bodied by Edward too I guess.Where do I even begin with this one?This game was incredible and the apex of story-driven games we've played so far. I've written this review 4 times now because the standard format isn't quite adequate for covering everything I want to talk about, so I'm going to cover everything I can in the standard format and then have an extra post or two talking about the implmementation of specific tropes that let this game succeed where so many others have failed. This will naturally involve a lot of r*ddit-tier comparisons to other media and fangames, so consider yourselves warned ahead of time.>Shit I didn't likeThe youtube links. Not only does it rely on the link still working, as there's at least 2 that don't, but forcefully opening an arbitrary weblink is a huge security risk that shouldn't become normalized, especially for something as frivolous as the jokes in question. If these videos were compressed into graphics and sound files and played ingame, I'd have 0 problems with them.This game has a bit too much of a fixation on Rodolfo's bodily functions. A dick or fart joke here or there is fine, but the vast majority of these jokes tend to be centered on the only clearly underage member of the cast which is pretty offputting.Corvitaxi comes a bit later than it should. This is probably the least serious issue here, but it's worth mentioning.For a game that has fights you can lose and still progress the story anyway but awards you an achievement if you win, the Angie fight and Stella fight should have achievements associated with them, especially given that they're more or less the hardest technically winnable fights in the game.1/a lot of posts probably
first try, thanks lucario for not leaving my side kek
what a fantastic game
>>56458005That particular code is in map 624, you'll probably need to check in debug to see if Lucario's data got set on the variable though, if it did, might might be fine? If it didn't, you can probably make an event and copy/paste the relevant bits of code from that event to try and manually force it>>56458066>>56458090gg bro
>>56458055>Neutral stuff worth talking aboutYou're given a shillmon starter and while I initially found this very offputting, I warmed up to it as a design decision because the game's story is built around your shilldog as a character and not merely a vehicle for protagonist progress. I can still understand why it might still be offputting for some people who can't get over the two-fold hurdles of having starter choice taken away and that specific shillmon pushed onto them.The protagonist starts as a pseudo-silent protagonist who mainly only 'talks' in inner monologue but as the game goes on they start openly talking more with other characters. I know some don't like protagonists as characters on principle, but I find MC-kun to be tolerable enough and they say enough on-point things I don't feel like they're being hijacked to fulfill some weird insane authoral narrative like how talking protagonists can sometimes feel in other english-developed fangames.The amount of cuckshit that goes on in this game zooms right past being annoying and cruises right into being hilarious when it becomes clear it's not just some weird developer-bullying-the-player thing like it comes across as in almost every English fangame with a cuck fetish, but that tons of characters and even the main antagonist get cucked out of either romance or an ideal/goal they place on a pedestal. It stopped being annoying for me and was just comedic how hard the game was committing to the thematic bit after a while.The difficulty of the game is very easy. It's well suited for the experience though I think.The game itself comes off as very romantically and sexually frustrated, for lack of a better term at times. The density of LOOK! SEXO!!! jokes, especially involving pokemon, or jokes involving people just casually breaking the hearts of other people for fun or trivial things is very high relative to the number of throwaway gags often present in fangames.
>>56458108thanks bro. the code is there in the map file so idk what exactly happened, I'll probably restart anyway since the next beta is "sometime next year". in my weird hatred of the youtube links, I did delete the entirety of HTML Utilities to see if that would do anything, maybe it has something to do with that?
>>56458055>>56458111>Stuff I likedThe presentation is godlike. The care put into mapping every route, making the world feel alive and inhabited with both humans and pokemon, the choreography in cutscenes, the expressiveness in both overworld sprites and the portraits, voice clips, full-artwork scenes, and the varied battle backgrounds that even shift to match the time of day all lead to an amazingly immersive experience.At its heart this is a character driven game, not unlike Rejuv, where the pretext of gathering all of the badges to become champion only exists to get the protagonist moving initially before it's clear there's way more important things going on and the badges incidentally show up along the way. The game is successful at this by integrating the initial hook with an overall really well-rounded and likable cast that behaves in mostly-believable ways relative to their established characterizations and rarely feels like things happen or people act a certain way because the author needs them to solely in order to facilitate the next major thing happening. Everything that happens gradually builds to later things even if the immediate consequences of something aren't clear at the time. The seemingly filler sidequest about the Litwick and the autistic child who soulbonds with the protagonist? The soulbond saves the protagonist later and royal glowniggers spot Sakura in the forest leading to a chain of events eventually causing Kaleo getting infected by Nihilego later. I appreciate how these sequences don't follow the normal shit writing tropes of blatantly showing you Chekov's Gun several times and acting like it's cinema when it's fired later, yet also still have a very clear and comprehensible trail of cause and effect so the writer isn't just pulling things out of their asses either.
>>56458055>>56458111>>56458153>Story, Themes, and how fallible people get coerced into doing bad thingsUnlike certain other games that try and beat you over the head with 'The terrorists are people too!!!!' shit, this game does not whitewash or pretend the actions of the antagonists are good in any way. In other games, there's not really a clear explanation of why people join the evil terrorist cults outside of either having low standards for what jobs they're willing to do or some presumably well-intentioned misplaced sense of ideological justification and neither of which are sympathetic when they find themselves doing evil shit later, despite what reborncord and similar insist is good writing. Unbreakable Ties is very clear in how it works; first the Royal Family is presented as completely invincible. If you step out of line, you die. If your city steps out of line, you get Fug'd. To keep people demoralized, executions are held each year for no reason other than to remind the populace that they live at the Royal's pleasure and nothing more. The people are in a state of despair and desperation, doing anything they can to both survive and protect their loved ones. It's clear via the recruitments of Vesta and Kaleo that initiation into their ranks isn't often without coercion, and even most of the grunts don't seem too happy with what they're doing as they themselves are also controlled through fear. The lower level demoralizers are demoralized themselves.
>>56458055>>56458111>>56458153>>56458206Vesta popping out a cigarette under duress regularly indicates that she's got a tremendous amount of internal moral turmoil over her situation. It reminds me of the ending of Murder on the Orient Express where the detective ends the story clutching his crucifix trying to make peace with himself if he did the right thing or not, clearly having a moral crisis of faith. Eventually once she develops the backbone to die doing what's right, she inspires her former boss to begin questioning her position as well, and while Vesta gaining the power to triumph over Majime in combat due to being in the right is extremely japanese and anime-troped, it was an effective moment for both of their characters. In Vesta's final moments, she ideologically rebukes the demoralization ritual and inspires the population to stand up, even if she won't live to see the results. All it takes is one figurative drop of blood from the 'invincible' gods to dispel the notion of omniscience and their rule by terror comes crumbling down. It's more or less the plot of A Bug's Life retold in a Pokemon game thematically speaking.This game's storytelling is effective because it believably casts the circumstances that causes everyone to act the way they do as well as believably creates a catalyst that'd inspire a change in their way of thinking as opposed to the author forcing them to for the sake of the story.
>>56458055>>56458111>>56458153>>56458206>>56458240Finally, the game allows for (mostly) competent yet quirky characters to develop a plan of action with a believable outcome and despite things not going entirely to plan, it was clear that not only what (you) did mattered, but (you) were instrumental in undoing a self-reinforcing paradigm that'd been perpetuating since the Royals invaded. While MC-kun didn't do it alone, instead of the game writing a novel telling you how cool Erin, Venam and Melia are, this game lets the side characters go on their own adventures that ultimately contribute to the larger payoff as well as serving as self-contained growth arcs for them. Despite "only" being a 6 gym demo, this game feels far more narratively and thematically complete than even the fully finished Reborn does, say nothing of the schizophrenic trashfire that is Rejuv despite all 3 games sharing a lot of underlying themes and design tropes.
>>56458055>>56458111>>56458153>>56458206>>56458240>>56458267>Wrapping this yap upIt should be readily apparent I really like this game. I'm not really sure how to rate it because if there's any game we've ever played I feel justified in giving a perfect 10/10 to, it'd be this one.... but it's also not complete yet and it implies that I don't think it could go any higher or that every other game we play with glaring problems that lower its score is fundamentally worse. I hate trying to compress a complex assessment of how well the game accomplished what it was trying to do into a single score, but I can easily give this game a 9.5/10 with no problems, and I expect it's very likely to be a perfect 10 if the rest of the game is even half as good as what we've got so far.
>>56458090GG bro.
>>56458274>>56458307thanks bro, and great review. I'll mention it in my review but yeah it's nuts how much this game mogs reborn and rejuv
>>56458149Maybe? I don't see how, but maybe they share a function or some shit kek>>56458274gg again, and good read
This was the first screenshot I saw when I was going to download this game. I thought "lol that looks like some dumb shit, this'll probably be some fun for a little bit." By the time I got to this part in the game I was like "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" no sarcasm or ironic enjoyment, I was 100% onboard. That whole sequence, most of this game was just a blast to play through. Most of the characters are great, good and evil, with the only one I really don't care about being Majime. I came around to liking god rodolpho, and darek didn't turn into the edgy rival like most do. I think in terms of favorite scenes I have to give it to Eda, though, the way she just kept kicking the shit out of people was very cathartic. Any other game it'd be like "even though you're a mega terrorist I won't harm you, it'd be morally wrong..." blah blah blah, meanwhile Eda stops latias from flying her away just so she can take down more people. And the scene at the palace gates where Blaziken kicks the guard through the door...excellent. I'm not looking for bloodshed and mass murdering, but there's a point where shit has to get done and for once the good guys actually do everything they can to win the day. very cathartic, very fun, kino, etc. I also have to give the game the credit for making me care about lucario, formerly known as shilldog, he is now in the same spot as truffles from ashen frost. I also found the edward and lena relationship parts very touching. Vesta's short flashback slightly less so, and I swear I read it right that her mom died from the smoking and not the 100 beatings...very weird choice. Every part of how the story was crafted, the dialogue, using the pmd sprites, character portraits, simply perfection. My only two big negatives are the youtube links and the jumpscare mansion, but I just can't deny this game anything other then A+, top tier. I have all the faith in the world this game will surpass everything we've played so far, this game will be the GOAT.

Since this place is hardly a sekret club and at a minimum Eric lurks here sometimes, if any of the spanish community reads all this and convinces Samu to add multiple endings for each possible waifu (especially Bijou), it will truly be the best fangame of all time.

keki'll give this guy some respect for being proactive in trying to avoid the potential lesbian NTR unlike the MC who just rolls over like a faggot whenever he sees darek and eda eyefuck each other
i've completed my chinese cultivation bros....now i scale above above all cultivation realms by surpassing the hierarchies and achieving a higher logic, rendering the conventional truth that higher realms are stronger inapplicable to me. The Deathless Realm is an infinite hierarchy of cultivation realms and levels, with people in the tenth realm already being High 1-A or far higher. Annulled Amaranth is the tenth realm that transcends the duality of Non-Immortality and Immortality with the former being 1-A and the latter including everything below 1-A. It is something which cannot be named as it transcends names, words, language and or description, an indefinable essence which pervades all of existence where all other contradictory states are merely what happens when one attempts to give them a name, label and or description. These states range from possible existences and non-existences, such as the Heavenly Dao, Dimensionless Void, or Non-Immortality, to transcendental impossibilities. The disparity between realms beyond Annulled Amaranth is as vast as the difference between Annulled Amaranth and the realms below it. The Deathless Hierarchy consists of infinite layers within meta-quality, each representing a higher form of existence. The Heaven Beyond Heaven (HBH) baseline contains the multiverse and the Deathless Hierarchy, with the second HBH representing an additional set of infinite layers. Each HBH forms a single meta-quality hierarchy, with the process repeating infinitely, creating an endless hierarchy of meta extensions. Gu Chensha is wholly separate from cultivation & realm and thus all extensions of it. Additionally, all realms are decided by me
>>56459034Thanks.>i can tell you like it more than reminiscia, but just curious, how much more?It's hard to say because the games are doing different things, but I think the fairest way to draw comparisons is that I think this game and reminiscia are equally competent at what they're achieving, but this game has a higher quantity of it due to the longer runtime. I suspect birdsexo game might catch up after the DLC inevitably undergoes scope creep, but we'll see. >>56459111>dragon's darts is actually ridiculously difficult to code for some reason, they bitch about it a lot in the comments of the reborn/rejuv scriptsIt definitely cannot be 'templated' from any of the existing code but I doubt it's worse than (properly implemented) Rage Fist or any of the other weirdly complex moves Gen 9 added.>>56459124This game's biggest crime is that the talmudic burger king never yells out nigger.

>>56459329The bit that's (probably) tricky about Rage Fist or Last Respects is that they require storing additional information in the pokemon that doesn't go away on switchout (but does reset if the mon is KO'd then revived) or tracking KOs globally. This probably involves expanding a data structure in addition to its normal functions, which depending on how essentials stores pokemon and temporary battle data, could potentially be horrible to do without introducing any number of other buggy interactions. I have a suspicion that Rage Fist retaining its value after switch outs is Gamefreak's shitcode and the thought of fangame devs having to try and reproduce Gamefreak's specific shitcode for authenticity's sake is equally funny and sad to me.>reminiscia DLCElena's twitter has me huffing hopium given that she's shown stuff that's been out-of-scope for the initial announcement like a new title screen with an infinite mode(?).
