Sage Sunday: Fine I'll Make One Edition

When I say "there's literally nothing new" I am, of course, joking. We're bugtesting and playtesting our asses off. Codemode is in full overdrive, and people are doing various other things. "Nothing new" = no huge shareable content worth mass-posting in an update thread.

Ask questions and you shall receive.

>>32341251
Have you guys tested Cameron yet?

>>32341306
Yes, full demo builds are being tested. Cameron is currently suspect of being way too fucking high leveled, will probably need a small bump down.

>>32341251
Smokey you haven't done shit in months, the only painstaking thing you've done is stop fapping for the 90 seconds it took to make this thread, a feat so herculean that any middling astronomer would flinch thinking your balls were blueshifted so much that a second-impact tier catastrophe was imminent.

>>32341329
hi Empty

You asked for it

>>32341322
Well that's good then! Is he hard?

>>32341329
Fuck off dunky!

>>32341338
release date when?

>>32341339
All of the gym leaders are/will be hard, but not artificially difficult. The aim is to reward smart play and good team building, not RNG. Cameron's team comp is good, but levels are a little too high right now.

Just wanted to drop in to show some support and say that im still looking forward to this project. I gave a bunch of feedback in sage sunday threads for a while back and i wish you all well.

much love,
anon

How far is the next update supposed to take us gym wise? And about how far away is release?

>>32341413
Gym 3 and supposedly they're bug testing internally right now. So I think last demo they dropped took about a month or two for bug-testing? Should be about the same for this one.

>>32341413
3 gyms
1-2 months

Why are you making threads when nobody can even play it?

i missed the last thread, so sorry if it's a repeat question

has the erace admin design been finalized yet? what is its gender/is its gender likely to be?

>>32341397
thanks anon <3

>>32341413
3 gyms, soon. People got mad when I said late May last thread but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>32341467
See OP

>>32341485
Erace admin has not been finalized yet, gender is completely up in the air (and may stay there :^))

How compatible with saves from previous versions will the new demo be? Should I just commit to staying unattached to any of my demo teams, until the final release?

>>32341500
I would say that this is a wise move to stay unattached.

>>32341500
Not compatible whatsoever. We have changed things on every 1.5.1 map (I think). You should not expect to be able to carry over demo teams to Full Release.

>>32341496
genderless erace would be so fitting

>>32341540
It's a popular idea

>>32341251
where's the next beta coming

>>32341572
the next time you jerk off

>>32341572
I dont know ask swim

why is Smokey running the thread when he's the newest dev?

>>32341603
Because you touch yourself at night out of sheer loneliness shitposter kun.


THANK YOU SMOKEY FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS!

You can't just remove your trip to stroke your dick, you know.

>>32341661
I, unlike OTHER sage contributors, always commit to responding to the people of /vp/ with credible and reliable information from a verified source in a timely manner.

If I needed my dick stroked that badly I'd give your mom a call.

>>32341695
>Responds with his trip off
way2prove my point, bear

>>32341695
Speaking of credible and reliable information from verified sources in a timely manner, what's the Writer up to these days?

This is just a random question, and probably not even related to sage, but how the AI works during battles?
Can you make some trainers (like gym leader) focus on certain strategy? or everyone shares the same random attacks pattern, priorizing super effective moves.

>>32341717
Put it this way, Stella's Anvelid will make an effort to lead with Spikes

>>32341717
Here's a wiki page that can explain how the AI works better than I ever could http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_AI

Chayan when?

>>32341828
Not distro'd yet, but we've got half of the map to go. Personally, maybe somewhere right before/after Staccato? Maybe an egg/trade in Staccato? Who knows.

>>32341850
What about Shibalbat?

>>32341916
When will Shibalbat become catchable?

>>32341923
Shrug

>>32341923
Again, not distro'd, so it's up in the air. Again, personally, somewhere around a jungle temple.

>>32341956
But Shibalbat can't fly

>>32342005
So it could be around any temple honestly.

>The aim is to reward smart play and good team building
Does this mean the game will be nearly impossible with a monotype team? I was planning to run monopsychic/monoflying

>>32341251
Reminder:
http://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/03/pokemon-sage-fan-project-nearly-implodes-due-to-sjw-politics/

>>32343926
It'll be harder, depending on what type you want to run, but not impossible. It'll probably require a little grinding depending on the type and gym. Monopsychic will be a bitch at Vivace, Fugue and Calando. Monoflying actually won't be bad at all, except you might have trouble early on in Dronia.

>>32344011
chao pls go

>>32344011
Spics like you should be deported.

Any new concepts or ideas you guys wanna share? I saw the Shattercloud Spire concept from a few threads ago and really liked it

>>32345200
I can repost the music I made, i guess.
The new guy, Nave, fixed a bunch of battle animations but that's up to him if he wants to post gifs.

What is sage in reference to /vp/

>>32345465
The Pokedex, region, a lot of the characters, foundations for the plot, among other things was developed on /vp/ between late 2012 and early 2015. Moved offsite to speed up the process and make development easier.

Consensus in the project is that the game is still considered to be vpmagg, gen /vp/, etc. The split was contentious, but the project still wants to keep a good relationship with /vp/ anons who may have worked on the game while it was here but didn't want to move offsite to work on it.

>>32345542
Oh, it's you faggots. I thought you guys all died or something. All I ever see is that cringey mememon game around here nowadays.

Has moving offsite actually helped at all? Are things going smoother/faster? Have you decided to cut anything? Add anything?

>>32345550
I was only ever around in the very early days of the game and actually (re)joined the project about a month after the initial exodus, so I don't know if I can speak on exactly how much better it is. We tend to respect decisions made by the board in past surveys as long as it's documented, and most agree that the Pokedex isn't to be touched (some tried to get a secondary rock type put on Pebblosa, didn't work). We really only change past survey decisions if it's straight up incompatible with the game. I'm sure majora among a few others will be in here to correct me on how I'm biased and wrong about that, but that's the general rule to go by. Knowing what I know about how board development was vs offsite development, it's definitely a smoother process, especially with the organizational routines we've been implementing lately.

Nothing comes to mind as far as big things cut from the board days, besides the plot outline that was voted on. Added things include: the rest of the game lmao.

I'm glad to hear you respecting things from back then, especially the dex. I look forward to seeing this game reach completion.

Now go eat a bag of flaming dicks, OP.

>>32345726
Thanks anon. Be on the lookout for the demo.

https://discord.gg/s3UAz Just gonna shill the public discord link where you guys can come and chat, ask questions and whatever. I don't really have any more content to update, so keep asking questions.

>>32341329
Lol I read this in a turn of the century english aristocrat voice
Is your name Nigel Higgenbottom by sny chance?

How are you guys gonna do legendary encounters

>>32346269
Quetzar is fought in the golden city, all of the golems are first fought on their admin teams, then probably found scattered around the region, spirits will probably be fought in their temples/locations post-game, and the pixies, who knows. First one is all but confirmed, golems and spirits are my best guesses based on past discussions, no one knows about the pixies yet, those are post-game.

>>32345371
Dive will be in this game?

>>32345603
>I'm sure majora among a few others will be in here to correct me on how I'm biased and wrong about that,

Wrong, yes, but I wouldn't say you have a particular bias against it.

Anyways, I don't actually think the majority of the times we've/you all have overturned confirmed stuff was done for bad reasons. Especially only counting stuff overturned from /vp/ days (throwing out of our agreed, voted on plot that was over a year in the making and we had a agreed on detailed timeline/workflow for for no reason in favor of the plot council vote is the only one of pre:exodus stuff I can think of that wasn't super justified, actually). I'm more bothered by the stuff we *haven't* changed that has more the reason to compared to stuff that we *have*, and of the stuff that was changed I think had no reason to be/to no benefit, almost all of it was stuff that was voted on post exodus and then also changed post exodus.

I'm happy to go into more detail if anybody wants but I don't wanna start shit.

Do people not want to do the OW statue idea anymore?

>>32346837
yep

that's because the bear doesn't know how to use one of the fucking permainvite links, and instead generates a new one every time.

Not so much explicitly genderless as much as you can't really tell. Most of the popular designs have him or her wearing a Daft Punk-esque helmet. The lack of a face or identity plays to the character's themes, which are isolation, aloofness, "mad science", the alien nature of futuristic technology etc.
