I posted a lengthy vivance gym idea on the wiki. Would love to toss more ideas at you lot. Would be happy to do minor diolog or concept art and upload to the wiki. Are you accepting/need help in these areas?

>>28616795
Shoot me an add at skype: weshnat_wow if you'd like to contribute.

Pokeman with possible "robin"

>>28617385
nice.

What does ready to be mapped mean? The design is finalised but not put in into RPG Maker?

>>28618863
yes. one of our spriters is an mspaint wizard, and makes all his maps without using rpgmaker. they're great enough to use but they need to be mapped from there.

>>28618863
Tiles exist and for the most part the designs are already made. Some people don't have RPGMXP and so make imitation maps that need to actually be mapped out.

Does near future mean this year?

>>28619008
i'd like to say yes

>>28618974
Got ya. Any gift pokemon or eggs or trades expected in the demo?

>>28619038
>Believing the bear
I didn't think a year ago it'd take this long to do 2 gyms. I grossly under estimated how much needed to be done and how much I was going to be doing each day.

>>28616560
>>28616580
Were the ocean background and the flames made from scratch? They look amazing.

>>28619084
there's a trade in legato, but it might be nixed.
you get a lintle egg from sequoia in dronia.

When is Clover cumming out?

Will this game have some type of flair with the dialogue? I'm not saying that the dialogue has to be edgy or reddit but instead of every NPC talking about the cute combee they caught or how the department store sells a variety of TMs, I'd like at least some unique, somewhat campy dialogue, like the NPC s from the Medabots GBA games.

>>28619160
Never, memers don't have the willpower to make a game.

>>28619128
Whats in the egg? Is it Chayan?

>>28619271
>Reading comprehension

>>28619128
What's in the egg? Is it [Chayan]?

>>28619207
After pitching dialogue based on actual pokemon games, I can confirm that our dialogue standards are at least higher than Nintendo America's.

>>28619209
But they started later and have a demo that has the first three gym's length done while Sage demo has one.

>>28619336
You seriously think ADHD members can stay together long enough to make a game?

>>28619160
What the fuck happened to Clover? Did they move off the site without telling anyone? At least the Sage devs at least told /vp/ they were moving to Skype.
>>28619336
That demo was full of bugs, I remember you had to walk through walls after the second gym.

>>28619431
What exactly would you call the sort of people who would make Pokémon Sage?

>>28619497
Autists, and Autists are dedicated/obsessed.

Autism gets things done(slow as fuck) but it gets them done.

ADHD does not.

>>28619546
They are both Speglord Spectrum Disorders (SSD) caused by eating too much sugar and coddling by their mothers.

hey sage, just dropping in to give my support

>>28616795
sorry anon, Sage isn't really looking for "idea guiz" at the moment. Maybe go work on Aus.

>>28619643
Aus is fucking dead. Like beyond the meme dead of Sage.

>>28619692
no anon, they just went off site

>>28619715
That is what they said about Clover. Turns out it was just a Discord circlejerk of Touhou and fat furries and split off into three versions of the same game using different coding because Numel thought it was a mess how it was programmed.

>>28619745
>what even is sage

>>28619745
Of course the code is a mess. I'd just like to see someone come up with anything better this side of 5 years.

>>28619814
Slower than mollusks right from the tree

Just here to say good luck!

>>28616497
is the Pyramid even going to be in the game at this point?

is that retarded spire actually plot relevant?

>>28619038
Wait are you on discord now or is this some illuminati skin off Skype

>>28620062
Yes
https://discord.gg/gbZez

>>28620062
Every 2 months or so theres a push to move to discord but there's some sort of stockholm syndrome going on with half the crew that forces them to stick to skype.

>>28619911
yes to the pyramid, maybe to the spire
>>28619870
thank you!

>>28619911
Golden City will probably have a central temple like that.
What retarded Sprite are you talking about?

>>28620190
He said spire, not sprite.

It looks like Spiral Tower (or whatever it's called nowadays) won't be part of the plot. Plot Council hasn't said anything about events later on in the game, and I strongly suspect it's because they haven't a clue what they're doing nor how to properly construct a plot. We're STILL waiting for a pastebin from them containing the plot, which really ought to be an easy thing to do yet they've spent literally months not making it.

Spiral Tower might be used in the so-called post-game, because God forbid we have a single location in our game which doesn't have an event in it.

>>28620339
>>28620190
shattercloud spire or whatever... off rout 13?iirc. The stone spire out in the middle of the ocean.

>>28620339
>Spiral Tower might be used in the so-called post-game,
ooh, maybe that's where the air pirates meet up with the player and take them to laputa...

>because God forbid we have a single location in our game which doesn't have an event in it.
no one likes superfluous locations/characters in RPGs.

>>28620497
You must have hated balders gate.

>>28620497
Superfluous locations in pokemon are great for exploration. What are you even on about?

>>28620589
>Superfluous locations in pokemon are great for exploration
and explorable locations with optional side quests are even better.

>>28620545
Durlags Tower was great.

>>28620388
An oldfag relic that somehow remains. Why can we retcon shit like dragon boneyard but some anons boner is still planned to be in game, I have no idea. It literally has no purpose.

I just wanted to say it looks like the sprite work has improved so much on the mapping. Kudos to whoever is mapping, shit looks good.

>>28620339
Hello Smokey.
We have gotten that far, but we haven't gotten all the little details down yet because quite far away from being implemented and thus not what were focusing on right now.
You know, like any other chat in the project.
There is a push from one person to include The tower in the climax, but everyone else is against it. We've toyed around with post game ideas, but nothing concrete.

>>28620628
Needing someone to tell you to explore some place is dumb. Makes it feel like more of a chore than exploring.

>>28620788
to be fair, dragon boneyard fell away in the first year of the games development, Spire actually made it through the mega plot survey we did just before the skype anons left vp

>>28621082
>Needing someone to tell you to explore some place is dumb
no one's telling you to you tard.

You explore the place, and then maybe also a little girl tells you she lost all her pokeballs and would really like it if you could bring her one.

>>28621223
Oh joy. Instead of actually getting the feeling you discovered it, you find out you've gotten beaten yo the punch by a little girl instead.

Sidequests are fine, don't get me wrong, but you don't need to specifically craft them for an area.

Instead, you can have a trainer asking to trade for a rare pokemon that can only be found in the depths of an optional area.

>>28621223
>taking the bait
>>28621345
>deliberately missing the point
Both of you go do something meaningful with your lives

>>28621345
you're right, I'd much rather make my way through miles of jungle to find a small empty grove in the middle of nowhere with no one and nothing of note.

>>28621423
>nothing of note

Are rare pokemon and items not noteworthy enough for you? Not everything needs to tie into the plot or some quest. Otherwise it just becomes a guided tour as you walk through every location as NPCs point you where to go.

>>28621463
>Are rare pokemon and items not noteworthy enough for you?
interrelated NPC's and sidequests aren't noteworthy enough for you?

>>28621193
>>28620788
Are you two really slow or something? Dragon Boneyard still exists, right where it always was.

>>28621463
What about a completely optional area that happens to have plot in it in the form of backstory or lore?

Some of our wiki contributors appear to use clown horns and BDSM equipment. I believe our main guy making cries pulls relevant sound clips and blends them together in Audacity.

Hey Sage devs! I just wanted to say thank you so much for having a GOAT goat starter. I've wanted one since I was a kid and first getting into pokémon. Also you're all top notch, and the South American setting is excellent.

Nothing in that picture looks like what you're talking about. The white, black and rainbow one is Royjibiv, a normal type dragon based on the cryptozoological phenomena of rods and the mythological rainbow snake. The bird is a bird named Floressum, based on what it looks like, the last stage of the grass starter. The blue one is Hydranticus, a water and poison type pokemon based on a sea slug and other vague design inspirations.

>>28628698

Roygibv, the Norma-Dragon evolution of Argibi.

ROYGBIV and RGB are a list of colors in the visual spectrum and a major scheme for digital color representation, respectively

As much as I like the starter-type dragons, I couldn't make them work with a balanced-ish team. Plus it's pretty.
