Are you using the version posted in this OP? The first thread had a few bugs/errors.

The UI in the current playtest is different, too.

>>14623792
Oh, I see where you got that.
I'll replace it now, thanks

Game crashed during the first "on foot" grunt enemy event.

It asked me for my gender,flashed some list, and then crashed to desktop.

Did you hit the back button (X)? Infantry combat is rather buggy atm, hitting back when the list comes up actually crashes the game.

The game will have a nuzlocke mode. That is the way the game was originally designed. We personally think it enhances the drama of the game. The nuzlocke mode will 100% be implemented with a slight change to the rules. You can view the changes in our design document. Of course, feel free to play the game any way you'd like.

Nuzlocke a huge part of the game, from the input we're getting, there'll definitely be some kind of easy mode added on, but the default setting will be Nuzlocke.

Minus the 1 "Pokemon" per route, because fuck that

>>14623694
What do you mean by minimalist?

I forgot to say, feel free to suggest attacks, areas, or mechs to add.

That'd make for a pretty fun bio type, we'll think about it; we already have some monsters.

It'll be weird as hell having a roster of kaijuu on your ship, though, the player can do it if they want.

Hell, you could lead your crew from the inside of this thing, if you really wanted to.

PSA: We're not Crashman or Xwing

It's a Hard Life, the single most brutal Nuzlocke comic ever created, and it has one of the best depictions of a Snorlax fight ever drawn.

>Non-nuzlocke edition
Game asks you if you want your Mechs and attached pilots to die when they're killed, if not, you play in non-nuzlocke mode.

>"Normal/Easy" mode, where Revives can be bought
Choose "Easy" mode, you can buy Revives at any store for cheap, but "Garages" (Poke centers) are disabled, maybe pilot death is disabled, too.

We're taking the comments about the hokey dialog to heart; we kinda wrote whatever in the two weeks it took to make the playtest.

A lot of thought is going into the story's tone; the last thing we want to make is an edgy game.

Mechs from Eureka Seven, Zone of the Enders, Code Geass, Patlabor (As a normal type), Ideon, and Full Metal Panic

Oh and Xenogears now that I'm thinking about it.

We just added Jehuty to the roster, you're in luck

Noa is already a pilot, waiting on a Patlabor sprite. I'll dig for the rest.

>>14630498
It's really about gaining artists as part of our team to make the mechs we don't have sprites for. We want to have a nice diverse roster, but we need the assets

>>14630525
Jehuty for ya booty

Yep, we're using those for all of our animations.

Great website, though the art of the newer games can't really be used; we'd still have to make sprites for things like Nono or a Scopedog.

>>14630415
So one has pokecenters and the other has revives?

>>14630415
Instead of doing that way, why not just have easy mode be like regular pokemon, with revives and pokecenters and normal mode just not have the revives. It shouldn't be too hard to just remove revives from the inventory of shops in normal mode.

Is G Self in this game?

>>14631467
There will be the option to pick non-nuzlocke or "easy mode" where the game will be like a regular Pokemon game. If you don't select easy mode, the game will play on its normal setting, which has mech/pilot permadeath. The game will follow nuzlocke rules but not all of them.

For example, your mech will die if its health reaches zero, possibly killing your pilot. But you do not need to capture the first mechamon you encounter.

The design doc has the explanation of our nuzlocke rules

>>14631798
What about certain types of revivals that are non-standard like being converted into a cyborg or some form of cloning?

Is that covered by anything or is it best to leave it out

File: image.jpg (54KB, 720x480px)

54KB, 720x480px

>>14631852
We haven't thought about anything like that. We can see if it's something we can try

>>14632270
I think non-standard revivals could be a thing but there are many ways to go about it.

When it comes to cloning the only thing that comes to my mind right now is somehow "recording" or "uploading" a pilots information at a certain point. After the original dies and the clone has the information from when they were last scanned.

Like if you scanned them a long time ago but then they suddenly die so when you go to clone them they don't retain any new information they learned during that time but have what they did when they were scanned.

Whether "information" means their Level or what moves they know or both is entirely up to you.

>>14632344
I don't think we would want the pilots to come back after they die via cloning. Part of being a commanding officer is living with the deaths of your soldiers. If you are playing the nuzlocke mode of the game, then as captain of your squad you have to do your best to keep your men alive. This creates tension in the game when you feel like shit for losing your favorite characters.

In the easy mode, the mechs and pilots won't be destroyed, so cloning won't be necessary. We can look into the idea of cloning for other purposes though

>>14632344
Actually I think I misread your response. You were talking about the revive item correct?

If so, the revive will only count for the mech, not the pilot, so there is no bringing them back

>>14626101
>>14626309
>We were thinking of having some moments like that for sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKSD8LUuOiM Are we going to have something like a Gong event?

>>14626786
Sentai/Power Ranger mechs would be fun to have. There's already several sprites of mechs from several shows you could use, and you could have the red and sixth rangers from the shows be pilots.

>>14635572
>Gong event
Sure, something like that could totally happen.

I'm not sure about having Sentai characters, we only have room for 40 or so Pilots, we'd like to try and have as many recognizable, distinct characters as possible. The two of us also don't have much knowledge of Sentai, so we'd run into problems there unless a Sentai artist got on board.


You might see something close to a Rider though, stay tuned.

>>14631418
Jet Alone is definitely in the second I find a sprite

We actually have a major lack of Nuke types; thinking about digging out something like a Metal Gear.

Xabungle's in too, thanks.


>>14631046
Plenty of dual-types, combat is mechanically identical to Pokemon; anything you'd see there you'd see, in /m/ form, here. Give the playtest a try if you haven't.

>>14631090

I don't think I said anything in the design doc about this, but there Mega Evolution won't really be in the game.

With very few exceptions, mostly Nono->Buster Machine 7, and maybe the main legendary.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a "main legendary"?

We were thinking Ideon, or Turn A, but it could really be anything, as long as it's powerful.
