Godra Region - Pokémon RPG

[FishOnHead 0]

I would also like to add that I'm really loving the game. There was no hint of that in my last message, but there should have been. The ability to play through a different life other than 'Trainer>Elite Four>Champion>Win' is a great concept. I don't know how far you take it, as I picked Misdreavus as a starter and am having a hell of a time progressing, but it's great regardless. I might restart and just catch Misdreavus at some other point....

 

And yeah, I'd love to say I was just clicking too fast and clicked the wrong one. I was dumb enough to forget that Empoleon was Steel, and was like 'Well, uh, Dewgong is pure Water or something, right?' and then discovered the glitch. Not my proudest moment, but at least it was helpful.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! I take the whole, live a new life in the Pokemon world very, very far. For instance, for those that start in East Godra you could become Safari Zone Warden, you could become part of the Trainer Coalition, catching new Pokemon for new trainers, you could even run your own lab as a Pokemon researcher! Of course, I'm still working out if aging should be a thing, in which case I'd add relationships to the game as well... We shall see. Of course, the option to become Champion is still there, but options such as run your own gym and become a member of the Elite Four are also there!

I must be a magnet for glitches. I died against a Murkrow with only a Cyndaquil. I blacked out. Unfortunately, I had not visited the Pokemon Center in Holly City. So when I blacked out, I returned 'home'. Unfortunately, home was West Godra. When I tried to leave, I got the message 'I can't leave without my first Pokemon' and had to go check. Immediately upon entering Dr. Ray's lab, he congratulated me on my choice. Unfortunately...I was still stuck in West Godra.

 

Is there a way I can play a Debug version of this? I'd really love to have full access and just playtest the thing. It's fun, but it's just a demo right now, so no reason to get attached to raised Pokemon. I'd really like to see what all the game has to offer, but I keep getting hung up by these little bugs. Nothing major, but I'd love to let you in on as many as I can when I play in my spare time. That said, I realize much of the appeal is in the discovery of all of these choices. But I feel like this game has high hopes, and want to help out in whatever simple ways I can. If I can expedite that process, by all means I am willing.

 

P.S. The 'incorrect answer' academy glitch is still present for me, if it was supposed to be fixed this update. Seeing as I told you so recently, I'm not certain it was intended to be.

You must be a magnet for glitches! Huh. The incorrect answer glitch should have been fixed, I guess that's one that I'll have to look at again. I still have no idea why that might be. That's so strange that the dual region home start location isn't working correctly. Yet another thing that should be fixed.

I suppose it would be possible to play a debug version. I'm sure most of the glitches are on my end, and not something that could be fixed within that but I'll see what I can put together. Heck, if you really wanted to, and had RPG Maker XP, that would be perfect, and I could just send you the unencrypted version of the game to help work on there, and get some major title time! Only if you want to, of course.

I'll look into those glitches and maybe sending you a debug version.

Also, on the note about not getting too attached to Pokemon at this stage, you could. The full game release will just play with your previous save game, but I totally see what you're saying.

I'll keep you posted on that... Hopefully sometime this week? If I can't figure out a way to make the debug game available without using the editor, I'll either give you the full game or just hopefully fix these nasty glitches...

Hey! First of all great game! 

I have a problem with a glitch though . When i talk to the shady guy in shadowfall who like trips into you (and probably takes your green card or drops a key) my game freezes and won't do anything, no matter how long i leave it or how many times i restart and try again

Okay, that's the weirdest glitch I've heard of yet... I'm on it though. Fix should be up for Sunday.

I'm happy to hear you've made it as far as Shadowfell! Thanks for playing! Hope it was smooth sailing up until that point.

[Eleroth 0]

Thanks! Everyhing has been perfect up till Shadowfell! Looking forward to the full release!

[GregWilder 106]

So, this weekend's update should include the eighth badge for West Godra and of course the Elite Four.

There will also be expanded quests and storylines, and a few job offers as well!

There should also be a few fixes to the above glitches... I've been working hard on those.

Also, I cannot seem to get a debug version up the way I want... I'm still working on that.

Anyway, look for the update Sunday night!

[GregWilder 106]

So, a few announcements:

First of all; I've been working very hard to eliminate all the glitches that have been brought to my attention. I have solves a great many of them, but the oddest of them (being the 'wrong answer' and 'East -> West startover') have yet to be solved. Still working on it though.

Second: Due to some minor personal issues (I can't turn my head too quickly without wanting to throw up :wacko: ), and some horrible management skills on my end (I left my hard drive at school   ) Today's scheduled update has been pushed back to tomorrow night. I'm horrendously sorry, as I know delays are the WORST when dealing with games like this. I hope Monday's release with the new material and many fixes will be well worth the wait though! (I really hope so    I HATE delays) Most notably: People who start with Pokemon like Abra and Ralts who know NO attacking moves will find relief! How cool?

Third: I want to thank everyone who has stuck with the game thus far! So, for the following week, (Until next Sunday) I will be making people into trainers in the game! My drawing skills are nonexistent, so it would be much appreciated if you either state: Gym Leader, or a trainer class from Fire Red and Leaf Green (or Gold/Silver, Red/Blue) (Here is the list of trainer classes: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Trainer_class) Is part of this last thing meant to make up for the delay? ... Yes.  But it is mostly to show my appreciation for those of you who enjoy the game, play the game, tell me where I messed up  and basically have adopted yourself into the development of a dream I had.

So, I'm going to get some sleep and hopefully recover. I normally pull out of these things very quickly!

Thank you for your patience with me!

Awesome! Looking forward to tomorrow!

 

I would love to be a leader or cooltrainer/ace trainer.

 

Cheers mate, hope you feel better soon!

[GregWilder 106]

So, yet another one of my multi-point posts!

I am VERY sorry for the delay. That was terrible. I'm still coughing up a lung and I occasionally lose my balance, but other than that, I'm work-ready!

 

Godra is progressing smoothly... Just, not as smoothly as I originally hoped for. Does this mean future delays? I highly doubt it, and I wil do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

 

In regards to that... I am putting up... A version of Godra... Unencrypted... Uh...  I hope that works out for the best. This is mainly for people who find bugs to maybe help me in locating the problem with the game itself. I hope people don't take up development of my game which is significantly developed and claim it as their own. That would be highly disappointing, and I think, just cause for stopping my involvement with the project (after all, if someone does do that, what would the point be in me still developing the game?). I highly doubt that will happen, and I fully expect that people can really help me out with some of the more aggrevating bugs I and others have found in the game!

 

EDIT: Abra and Ralts should now be viable starters with attacking moves! I'm not sure about any of the other starters, so if there are other non-viable starters please let me know!

 

EDIT: I will be attempting a whole new upload system for updating the game! This will hopefully cut out all the redownloading of new material completely, so all you get is the new stuff! However, this will mean a *little* more legwork on your end, but I hope the time I saved you downloading a big file is well worth it!! How will I do this? I will upload a folder. All you have to do is paste the necessary new items into your old folder for the game. Ta-da! This should work!

 

Shadowfell glitch with shady guy seems to be solved as of now... At least on my run throughs... If problems persist, I will redesign that whole encounter.

 

EDIT: The East->West Godra start over glitch is OFFICIALLY solved as of this coming update, 1.5! I have successfully play tested my new fix three separate times and got the same result each time. Now if you black out before visiting a Pokemon Center in East Godra, you will stay in East Godra.

 

And GOD DANG  the wrong answer glitch should be fixed. I ran through that twice after rewriting the whole event. If that still happens... I'll have to redesign it again... Maybe lift the entry exam requirement?

 

Thank you all for your utmost patience with me and I hope you enjoy the game so far! NOTHING has changed as to the final delivery date for the full game!

Two questions one how do i transfer saves to newest version and two as i was downloading it said it was malicious any follow up would be nice an greatly appreciated

 

[GregWilder 106]

That's very strange that it said it was malicious. That's just not the case. I wouldn't be uploading a bunch of viruses just to mess with people. Maybe you have some really good anti-virus software that flags downloads? I have no idea why that might be.

There's nothing to transferring saves. All you have to do is start playing again, as all the versions look for the exact same save file that you used for the previous versions. Literally, they don't come with their own new save file. All you should do is open it up and start playing again.

[GregWilder 106]

Update! Due to a ridiculous amount of time that I have worked on this in the past week, this will actually be the last BIG download before I switch over to the smaller downloads as updates. This just includes too many things to copy and paste.

For all my West Godra players, this is the big one. All eight badges and the Elite Four! Plus some more storyline in there.

For my East Godra players... I am still updating that region. Hopefully a lot will be done with this update.

I think that's it. Tomorrow I will post demo 1.5!

Edited November 9, 2013 by GregWilder

[GregWilder 106]

So, demo 1.5 will be up today. It's one of the largest updates I think I'll ever post, and I hope that this will be the last time I will have you all download a full game again. Everything from here on out will be much simpler.

Also, I think there will be some restructuring of what I was planning on releasing and when I was planning on releasing it. There's a lot involved in the process, but this doesn't necessarily mean that there will be any delays. The way I originally structured my release dates had some buffer days of "bug fixes from previous demo". These buffer days will ultimately be more significant updates, meaning that some content will be released then. Still, full game is expected for December 1st...

Hey is there a way around the West to East Godra glitch? I go and get the runing shoes from my house, but I wind up in Birch Town whenever I leave.

[GregWilder 106]

And you're in Cloudvale to start? Well, that's weird. I'll double check that. That really shouldn't happen...

[Zschalberg 0]

And you're in Cloudvale to start? Well, that's weird. I'll double check that. That really shouldn't happen...

 

As soon as you enter your house it happens. Turn right around and leave and you're in Birch. 

[Zschalberg 0]

Also, after you go to Route 2 in West Godra and battle your rival she gives you Cut. Use it on the trees and the game freezes.

[Acquiescence 0]

Um... Hi... What do I do to advance the day after finishing Oak's homework? Or is it a time-based system :x Not sure if I'd like to wait a whole day to see Oak's next lesson haha.

[GregWilder 106]

Okay, it looks like I'll have to fix the trees on Route 2... I don't know what's going on there, but I'll take another look. This hasn't happened to anyone else yet.

If it freezes I don't think it's a problem in the game though. Normally errors have their own fun little error message. I will double check though.

 

And as for East Godra's players, I'm working on getting that whole area up and running. I had someone else try their hand at developing that whole area for a while and it did not work out, so now I'm fixing a lot of things that I shouldn't have to be. Hopefully this next update will give you something more to do!

[AceWolf10 0]

I can't fight my Rival after shadowfall, when the battle is supposed to start i get the error message:

 

Script 'Interpreter' line 276: RuntimeError occured.

 

Script error withing event 14, map 168 (Shadowfell):

and then it shuts down

[GregWilder 106]

Oh dear. Well, that will be something that will get fixed then...

It should be good to go on Sunday!

[Acquiescence 0]

Bug Report: Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but after getting the 2nd badge (in East Godra), the badges disappear from the Trainer Card while outdoors, and reappear while indoors.

 

Also, where am I supposed to go after getting my 2nd badge? ^^;

[GregWilder 106]

Alright, I'll have a major update to East Godra for this next update. Like I said, East Godra has been going VERY slowly...

I will take a look at that bug though... I think I know what the problem is but I'm not entirely sure.
