so what happened?

a small portion of the development team who were the most stubborn and demanding managed to drive away most of the contributors and then they left /vp/ and now they are reduced to a handful of people who aren't especially good at making games.

Sage Sundays is no longer a thing?

On the bright side, when they finally get done, playing them will be a little nostalgic.

Fixed that for you mein familia

Sage has some really talented spriters.

But holy shit are the designs atrocious. The only thing worse than Sage's Fakemon are its human characters.

The development cycle is ridiculously slow, largely because they vote on every single aspect of the game. But for what purpose? The designs look like shit.

The game should have been done two years ago.

Instead they'll keep bickering over minutiae and re-re-release a demo up to the first gym.

I hate being negative because I know so much effort has gone into it.

But those Fakemon...

come on, I'm not a fan of their designs myself, but they aren't that bad.

We moved offsite, we are still working on it.

Sage dev here, I think the vast majority of the designs range from decent to amazing, but it makes the ones that are poor stand out that much more.

>>25730443
Why does Majora freak out whenever someone calls him that character from Spyro?

>>25730443
So in the end, no connecting badges?

>but holy shit are the designs atrocious

I don't know about anything else you said, but I agree with this. Not a single one of the fucking mons looks good. I've tried to like them. I've looked over the entire dex, realized they were all boring, and forgotten about Sage. This has happened three or four times, all months apart.

I WISH they were shitty. At least Clover is shitty enough to be entertaining. Sage is just dull.

I like a lot of the designs, but like >>25730443 said, the good designs make the shit ones stick out like a sore thumb, like the travesty that is pic related.

>>25726677
Is this the sage sunday thread?

When are we getting the next demo or is this game officially dead in the water?

>>25732656
I don't know anon, I'd raise it..

>>25728462
There are a decent number of designs I like, but a lot of the designs do look mediocre. And I don't think they're as good as a lot of people seem to hype them up to be.

I have problems building a team in this game because all the Pokemon I actually like are rock type

>>25728462
first off the fakemon in this are far better looking than the fakemon in most games.

And who plays pokemon games for the human characters?

I agree with the development cycle. They've been working on this for years. They should be far more along than this.

They should at least have a new demo going past just the first gym.

I like 99% of the fakemon designs.
Slow and steady. Keep up the work!

>>25728462
All the designs were fine the first time. They got over-tweaked for some retarded reason and now they're heaps of shit.

I don't get the h8 for the sage designs. I've never had this much difficulty in choosing team options until this dex. There is allot of creativity put into the designs like the Koblin lines(the designs actually resemble pocket MONSTERS) and the Growmeo and Tuliep lines(their evolutions look less appealing because the couples now hate each other like the Montagues and the Capulets). There are some misses(Bullotus is fucking hideous, Iove the name tho. And Craliber literally a detailed bullet) but a good majority of them seem like hits to me.

>>25735480
>I don't get the h8 for the sage designs.
Mostly it's a meme

>>25728462
Honestly so many good designs were hacked by like 2-3 tripfags who largely took over influence and made everything conform to their stupid pleb tastes.

pro:
>good fakemon designs

contra:
>don't know shit about making a game

Now we just need the obligatory "sorry guise my HDD broke and everything is gone :D" post from the sage "devs"
fucking retards

>>25734675
I'm not saying I wouldn't either, but it's simply an okay design in a Dex filled with great ones. It just doesn't stack up.

>>25735566
Maybe someone will take the sprites from the wiki and hack them into emerald/fire red one day

The designs are mostly good just in terms of artwork, but they're also too safe and boring.

>>25735837
>they're also too safe and boring.
Yeah, I prefer my Pokemon designs to be edgy and groundbreaking

>>25735724
And that man will be me. I have an afternoon - it can't be that fucking hard can it?

>>25728462
There are some good ones (I'm a sucker for the Doppole line and Pottle) but I agree that a lot of the desings feel safe and samey.

The execution is the problem imo. You know what they say about too many cooks.

>>25726677
nothing, just like it was always going to be. those deviatart dropouts have been working on this for over a year and have almost nothing to show.

one man teams make romhacks in two months.

>>25732656
you can thank raptor for that piece of dogshit

>>25735480

All of these look like Digimo, except Gamera who looks like a Druddigon-tier Pokemon.

>>25736381
have you seen a digimon?

I didn't design it but I take full responsibility for the travesty that is that "artwork".
