gonna stop posting for the night since it's dead hours and i'm not looking forwards enough to chapter 9 to warrant posting during dead hours
first for Erin
>>59477711slowpoke
I don't get why we just don't use guns to kill everyone, would be a lot more simple. Jean used a gun in chapter 15 and almost killed Aelita.
why is rejuvenation so absurdly packed with content in comparison to every other fangame / romhack ever made. do others even try?
>>59477847our game has been in development since 10 years, no other game is as good as our!!
>>59477847other developers: release 5 fangames in 6 yearsreborn / rejuv devs: work on a single project for 15 years
>>59477847Why would you even compare Rejuvenation to "other fangames"? The sole apt comparison today would be to the best JRPG ever made, not this amateur kiddie stuff. Kill yourself.
>>59477876well said Jan! not even the mainline Pokémon games can compare <3
>>59477820guns or pokemomit doesn't matterif the MC could use mons in cutsenes then he'd be be at home starting a family by now because team xen would be gone pretty early
>>59478002The amount of times Neved, Madelis and Zetta appear just to chat with the MC and their friend group(s) unprotected is really SatAm Cartoon-esque.
>>59478002Team Xen is a nothingburger in the grand scheme of things tbdesu.Also they can just respawn. Executives too in the new update, I believe.
What is this autistic namefag shill thread I'm seeing here? Why is this allowed?

Stop shilling your shit game here, I won't play it
>>59478730do you are have brain damage
>>59478742>you are have Holy shit look at this retard
>>59478730Are you retarded?
continuing I guesswith a sidequest that actually involves characters worth caring about
Jan would never allow this with anyone present in the main story
anyways after some body swap nonsense it's time for an Obligatory Stealth Section (which in a RPG maker game is just going to be a hallway except the tiles you can't walk on aren't immediately visible)
at least I still have the yacht
as usual the player can't enjoy anything unless it happens offscreen
i do NOT talk like that
>>59478839I complain a lot about recent versions but 13.5 gave us some nice sidequests.
to do list>get my actual body back>headpat Amber
>>59478893Yeahjust as long as you can find themdespite the early towns having help center buildings that exist specifically to make finding sidequests easyYet a significant portion of quests just don't use them
>>59478730I am already a celebrity on par with Toby Fox. Why would you think I would need to "shill" here? Kill yourself.
>>59478475this is my game and I do whatever I want, how about you post yours? bet none of you are muscular
would be fine with either meaning of "hit" desu
>fireinsert mention of Amber here
I sure do hope I don't have to fight on accuracy drop hell fieldalso Amber's a bit of a freak considering her daddy issues
surprised nobody's been set on fire yetconsidering the strawberry's presence
yeah usually I only yap a lot when it's about game design or writing
well I have more friendsa pair of storm drain gastrodons
oh noes
thank you NG+ grenigga for saving my ass despite my entire team being underleveled
bruh
i ain't fightin allat
what's the point of this kiew side character
>>59479021because i'm pretty sure whoever's in charge of writing the sidequests is not in charge of writing the main storyand thus actually interesting things can happen, and character development is possible, instead of melia dragging you into spacetime magic bullshit of the week #32458mainly doing this sidequest in particular because of one of the few characters that could make me suffer through the hell that is this game's campaign is present
can't believe the first real roadblock of the run was fucking Ren because his team resists grass and I have almost no coverageit's even more unbelievable that gogoat with sap sipper managed to kill the fucking bird that I hate thanks to grassy terrain giving it passive healing every turn, a buff to grass types, and lurantis's aoe grass type attacks buffing his attackthe second roadblock was Narcissa because of my lack of coverage and her having 4 pokémon that resist grass. caved in and used my candies to level up snivy to lvl 40 so it learned leaf storm and just sweeped her assit's a shame that the unwinnable death wing fight has no special dialogue for winning even if you force it through debugguess it's time for another filler chapter, but at least it has an NG+ addition if you MIKAEL in the throne room. wasn't expecting a boss fight so I have to think of a strat now
>>59479041>honedgei probably should have remembered to do that in NG+though I could just debug in one when I need it
>>59479046yeah I know it's useless for me, but I'm masochistic and like doing hard content for no reasonit has the same ability as mega kangaskhan so attacks hit twice and 4 HP bars (managed to destroy one before taking the SS)
>>59479082https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6bqMC0hf-I
not entirely sure if this actually happensprobably because the next side quest involving Odessa is likely stuck in walkthrough hell because help centers are forgotten technology
>>59479082>>59479088oh wow you get to skip the whole castle if you winunfortunately can't do that because I need to farm grass stones because a shit ton of the 'mons I have need them
>>59478905>>59478910roleplaying as the devs is pretty pathetic ngl
now I have a reliable fire type STAB move for my chicken>>59479117even doe namefagging as jan to spout purposely shitty takes is /vpp/ kulchur doebeityou wouldn't know that because you're an incredibly obvious outsider, you reborncorder
>>59479127kys nymphisfae
here's the post sidequest dialogbrb
So Jan is allergic to dairy products i see (bitch has a Lum Berry)Figured i might as well cheese the fight with Toxic + Fake Out/Protect Stalling since Arbok is way too slow to use Glare. Basically send Crested Zoroark with Sturdy, Knock Off the Lum Berry then Toxic stall with Salazzle and Mr.Mime, pretty easy.

>>59479394Yeah but think about how wholesome it would be for Nim's friends to safe her.Anyway she's been manipulated by Clear LARPing as Crescent and is now turning people into stone. Why didn't WE try the teleport strat? She might've been onto something tbqh.

So Vitus/Indriad goes full edgelord mode after losing his wife, a few puzzles and Kanon being insufferable with a side of Madame X time travel Shenanigans
Fight against Karrina and back to yet another sewer system, this time being the West Gearen sewers. Also why in the fuck do we need Katrina's Boat? We have Tesla's yacht... and that Garbodor from before now turned into a rift mon. Oh and Kanon being retarded, nothing new.
>>59479477*KarrinaAlso probably one of the most interesting rooms in the game so far (also nice mapping Jan, 10/10) and fight against Rift Garbodor. I'm getting raped, i can barely deal damage against it 120 HP and 190 Def/Sp.Def is some insane Bulk even by Rift mon standards, doesn't help the Field boosts it further and gives it free healing
>>59479484bullet sponges are kino though
lovely minigame

>>59479484>When the shield breaks: Any stat stage drops are resetSo i guess this is the moment where i have to change my whole team just to counter it, and maybe activate fullcontrol
>>59479157Aren't niggers allergic to milk products ? I have never interacted with a nigger but I hear that often.
probably should have asked if anyone wanted to name the aevian mareep kek>>59479535yupthis is why I hate rejuv's boss mechanicshaving to rebuild your team past swapping out a member or two or switching a few moves crashes the game's flowgames can't physically or (generally) financially punish players for losingbut they can force them to play a worse game - either by replaying stuff they've already done or sitting through menu hell with the looming dread that they might be wasting their time on another team that won't be sufficient>>59479538something something they don't have the genes that make them naturally lactose tolerant

>>59479555gave him an aevian ice/poison form and cancer (made it shiny)
>>59479535I just hit it till it died, but I assume curse / leech sneed would trivialize it
>>59479549Yeah, it's annoying, I love to make themed teams with static pokemon but it's almost impossible in this game because of the difficulty, feels like I'm forced to play with no EV cap for some battles.
>>59479563My team is a bit underpowered for the type combos it uses for each phase unfortunately, that poison heal is nasty.>>59479564I rarely make whole new teams, i stick to my mons until they literally can't do anything for the current fight. My team isn't amazing but eh it works, surviving roughly 9 Chapters is pretty solid imo
>>59479564I barely even go out of my way to run thematic/deliberately off meta teams (I mostly just pick a mon or several I want to build a team around and pick mons that support the core and cover its weaknesses) and yet with the bosses that use special boss healthbars and mechanics (as opposed to just normal teams of 6 mons)welli'll just link my rant on it rather than retyping it here>>59477329tl;dr changing your entire team because a boss mandated making a team that you'd almost never likely run for normal purposes (exploring the region, dealing with normal trainers, and basically everything that isn't a single boss mon and its SOS lackeys) is not fun at all and fucks over player agencybecause instead of battles being based on what your team is and how you intend to win fights, past the earlygame the bosses become so overcentralizing in their encounters that you're forced to build teams specifically for each one and they usually involve spamming mons with type advantages and damage over time moves + protect spam, which gets stale extremely fastsince every single one is too different from anything else in what kind of team you'll need for them to fight without DoT stallingoh and don't forget the bosses that don't even give you any hints on what to expect before you enter the trial and error phase beyond vague "rift ligma is X type and has Y ability" riftdex hints (which you aren't guaranteed to find before it's too late; I blame the redesigned rift dex entry pickups for this because the only entries I have on my current save are for gyarados, volcanion, and galvantula)
>>59479113>literally every single person that tries to do the player harm gets off with a slap on the wristI'm starting to think none of these people actually like us...
I always forget that Valarie exists, do we even see her in Chapter 16 ?
Ok so Arbok learns Gastro Acid via Tutor, Nice. And Pyukumuku learns Curse, Soak, Recover and Toxic with Unaware... guess I'll toxic stall again (hopefully for the last time)
>>59479650Fuck right it changes typing after each shield... well Gastro Acid might be good still
>>59479639desu she was brought to her senses and apologizedyet there are characters that do way, way worse and don't have any punishments at allprobably one of the rules of video game villainsunless it's near the end of the game don't expect any of them to get captured for long as by the end of the game every villain will either defect or die if the ending doesn't happen when they're in jail>>59479643I guess you must have forgotten what happened in chapter 15 kekShe's still in an artificially induced coma for like 8 more months based on ch16.3 being in january 2024 (if anyone's wondering where I got that year from, I based it off of both an ingame calendar's weeks from the only version with an explicitly mentioned calendar and day of the month)Something something it's to undo the visornigger brainwashing which itself wasn't really necessary for the plot
I'll just leave this here, i was a bit bored. I'll make the walk cycle at some point

>>59479720Do Erin
>>59479702Also someone please tell Jan or whoever the fuck is in charge of sprites to get a color picker, there's no reason for Aelita to have 19 colors (ignoring transparency) i get RPGMaker is pretty lax in terms of limitation but c'mon.
too easy, even had serperior who can outspeed as backupleech seed, my beloved
it always feels good to see these lines
did Kaina have any relation to Melia and the others? this makes no sense now that we know who Madame X isn't Erin or any of the other archetype idiots
>>59479774That's Marianette not Kaina
>>59479788what why? when did they say that this Madame X was Marianette? did I just forget something?
>>59479798oh wait nevermind you mean her helmet crystal but didn't Kaina say that one of the few times she actually fought you was during the castle or was that just at the pyramid?
>>59479800you've got it backwards, the castle encounter is the one time Kaina isn't involved
>>59479801fair enough i kinda tuned out of her story when we got that reveal due to how dumb it was to add that on top of karma files. thanks for clarifying anon

>>59479900DELTARUNEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>59479808I feel we will need a MASSIVE "in a nutshell" document by the time the story is over to understand it.>>59479900Oh my God, is John Kris!
kinda taking a break from both getting distracted by other games and because chapter 9 is super motivating>>59479900for this I used debug mode to change my character's outfit to the default onei'll just remove the shoehorned in deltacoon references in my mod because i feel like a reference is seriously overdoing it if it sticks out hard within whatever it's in, especially if you don't get or care about the reference>expand image>railings hang off the edge of the platforms>despite there obviously being inner railing tilesugly as sin
>>59479963yeah thanks for reminding me about my 124kb .txt where i wrote down stuff from my v13.5 playthrough to try and make sense of the storyit also made me realize that starting over and keeping what decent bits there were really is the correct thing to do with the storynot posting it right now because it wasn't asked for directly and it's absolutely not "in a nutshell" but you'll find it in the megafolder linked in the original post's rentry
time to stay in terajuma FOREVERat least it's not nearly as bad as it used to be
now it put me in the regular outfit instead of my edgy legacy one
>>59480011>at least it's not nearly as bad as it used to beare we talking story? balancing? maps? and what version are you comparing it tobetween v13 and v13.5>i don't think the story changed that much regarding what events happen >i don't have a large enough sample size since i've only played the game once on v13 and once in v13.5 (with those playthroughs being defined by using shitmons longer than I should've due to not catching good mons when available/continuing to use obsolete mons out of stubbornness in v13, and attempting a fire/flying dualtype in v13.5)but i don't think it's changed too much in v13.5 for better or for worse, though I do fucking hate the swamp field which got used more in v13.5's terajuma revamp>mappingdefinitely an improvement imho, both in aesthetics and ease of navigationmy v13 monoground playthrough died in ch6 due to forgetting where to go
anyway,>Grass gym doubles soon after I made the double Typhlosion teamboat grunts were way harderI will feed my Vulpix candy for its sacrifice
>>59480056maps specifically, old Terajuma was so fucking shit to traverse through. I think the one I originally played was like v12 or maybe earlier, don't remember the version but I remember the map being so boring it made me want to stop playing for a whilethe rest is whatever, but at least characters do a lil bit more than they did in older versions where it was all just Melia and the MC doing everything
iirc you're only high priority if you beat Madame X, otherwise only Melia is high priorityduring the old Terajuma arc no one said anything about you defeating Madame X, so it feels nice that they made that change and now people comment on it once in a while
dogshit game
>>59480107Cool detail
seems like you can get a varoom when using truck guy's services. that's pretty cool
>>59480070I'm honestly annoyed how good the maps look in later versions compared to when I played. Fucking even have pokemon running about in them like an actual wilderness. Real shame they've got nothing to do with the story and are canonically soulless though.That...was definitely a choice.
>>59480371You get it after 20 usesI don't know if there's a progression requirement because otherwise it'd be a disk one nukeBut hey, a decent steel type is a decent steel type
this type:null quest ng+ Eizen fight suckshe's 5 levels higher than me, has a legendary with no weaknesses, a pseudo, a crested flying type silvally with gale wings, immunity to priority on the first turns thanks to farigiraf, and a fast sweeper in alolan raichuI'll try again tomorrow but this shit isn't fun at all>>59480391yeah, the story was tweaked a bit on some minor parts but it's still overall the sameJan needs to do a big rewrite and cut off a lot unnecessary stuff and stop adding new plots like Variya's first world, Karma, Kaina, and just pick a few of them and rebuild the story around them>>59480403wasn't sure if it was after a specific number of uses, that's neat>a decent steel type is a decent steel typeyeah, you could get it by the point you get to Sheridan, so it could be pretty useful
>>59480437>cut off a lot of unnecessary stuff ... like Variya's first world, Karma, Kaina, and just pick a few of them and rebuild the story around themPretty much what I'm planning for when I finally get off my ass and start working on modding this kusoge (likely once I finish chapter 15 I guess)
>>59480011Terrajuma is the best part of the game desu.
>>59480437>Jan needs to do a big rewrite and cut off a lot unnecessary stuff and stop adding new plots like Variya's first world, Karma, Kaina, and just pick a few of them and rebuild the story around themAnd what qualifies you to give such "advice"? How many peerlessly popular fan games have you already published? Kill yourself.
>>59480560>ad hominem
God Venam is so fucking insufferable with her faggotry, even trying to drag Aelita into it. I really wish you could tell her to cease her faggotry but it wouldn't be politically correct, and we all know that Jan is a leftist faggot.
Bump, just in case. I'll play later once i get home
>>59480609bone her
i forgot, why does huey enter his emo phase again
>>59481446It's a mystery. Not even Jan knows
Chapter 16 section where you save people in GDC is the best part of v14 by a long shot.
starting in a couple of hours, probably>>59481627i was enjoying it until the overly cluttered mapping and constant back and forth running around ground down my ability to enjoy the chapterand then I got a really unpleasant spoiler
>>59481763Act 2 Paragon >>>>>> Act 3 Paragon (not counting the ending) > Act 2 Renegade > Act 1 Paragon > Act 1 Renegade >>>>>> Act 3 RenegadeThat's how I rank each parts of Chapter 16.
It's most likely, according to Jan, it will end in two ways:Renegade will kill a version of Paragon and unleash the omnidestroyer upon existence.Paragon will defeat a version of Renegade, and shield the remaining Existence from the OmnidestroyerThis will make both their stories canon to each other; but ultimately make Renegade a completely optional and supplementary material.
>>59481787>This will make both their stories canon to each other; but ultimately make Renegade a completely optional and supplementary material.thanks for telling everyone what you said isn't happeningbecause jan would never make a game with a story that's fully comprehensible in one playthrough
>>59481803That's the plan, to have the protagonists fight each other in their own routes, one to destroy existence and the other to save it.
>Dark Rising SERIES>Dark Rising Worlds Collide has DigimonUhhhhhhh cool..? Maybe i should play it, after i deal with both Paragon and Renegade (yes, i will do Renegade route too)
>>59481893Jan from a different universe...
>>59481787Bold of you to assume Paragon won't end in a mutual kill so Aelita has to date Ren like Jan wants
>>59482020Doesn't Ren love Nastasia though?!
>>59482030isn't she in her 50s
>>59482035And what if Ren is into older women?! Nim is married with Vitus and he's a grandpa!

>a new patch is availableremember when v14 came out and it needed a day 1 hotfix because one of the early ch16.1 maps was not fucking playtested properly and had a softlock
>>59482364>>>59481893Now this is no longer a V14 playthrough, is a V14.0.17 playthrough.
>>59482364I swear there's a new v14 patch every time i open Rejuvenation. At least it's easy to update, could you imagine if it was a Romhack instead?
>>59482407Reborn has it for convenienceRejuv has it because otherwise it'd be unplayableI miss the days when updaters weren't common because back then developers had to make sure their shit worked before publishing
