Pokémon Quartz "Let's Play" 2.0

thank you for your tutorial I was searching it time ago

*looks at the date of the update*

*unsure whether or not it was a joke or the real update in which Steven finally went insane because of Corna*

It's like Evangelion, that's the ending that resulted when the budget ran out. You'll get to see the actual ending someday in a proper format.

i'm really hoping that day comes soon because D:

Bumping this thread if it's not Yuoaman with actual content should be illegal. Just saiyan.

The ending is still happening, I'm not going to make any promises as to when, but it's still a thing.

4 weeks = not revival

Anyway, hoping to see that ending... by... 2014?

I see why he said that now. :<

Okay, when I get home after work I'm going to throw up a couple of teaser images, they aren't much but they are things which exist.

Oh look at how mysterious and such this screenshot is, without a trace of placeholder graphics.

holy heck it's an update

color me surprised

Just saiyan. Again... Cause you know, false hope and everything.

Yet each reply to me means you're bumping it without being Yuoaman either, therefore if it were illegal you too would be breaking the law! A-HA!

also at least there's some semblance of hope this time :D

I'll also be working on it after work today, wohohohoho.

Nearly five years after this LP started, before this sub-forum had even been conceived, I have an announcement to make. It's one that I probably should have made quite a long time ago, all things considered - but one I was really reluctant to actually sit down and type.

The Let's Play of Pokémon Quartz (2.0) is officially over, and there likely won't ever be a proper final update.

Life has gotten in the way time and time again and work on the finale hasn't progressed an inch in months, so I feel it's probably best just to put an end to things before I myself just forget about the project entirely. I imagine there might still be some people that were hoping to see the adventures of Steven, UNHOLYbear, and the rest of the gang, and I apologize for disappointing you - I'm also disappointed in myself.

I am not at home at the moment so I don't have access to the project itself (I may throw some additional stuff at the thread once I am) but I'll briefly outline what the finale would have been like here.

- - -

After some more wacky adventures (finishing off the post-game stuff) Steven would return to Baro's lab and he would black out immediately upon entering the door. The finale would resume with Steven (as the actual Steven from RSE) waking up in his home in Rustboro. Steven would be asked by Professor Birch in a phone call to retrieve something from his father and bring it to Birch's lab.

The areas Steven would visit would initially be near-exact replicas of the "proper" locations from RSE with only some amusing references to the areas that match up to them in Corna. As Steven's journey continued, however, the strangeness would ramp up: with areas beginning to become amalgamations of the locations and with actual Corna Pokémon appearing. Professor Birch, in his phone calls, would also become increasingly erratic.

This would reach its climax when Steven, after slowly regaining his memories, reaches Littleroot Town (actually Breeze Town) and he confronts Professor Birch, who he discovers is actually Baro in disguise (who could have guessed? ) Baro laughs at Steven, claiming that even after he had created the illusion of a perfect world for Steven that he still couldn't let go of Corna. After a struggle Steven realizes that he isn't done with Corna, and resolves that he won't be until Baro, and his evil, are undone.

This is exactly what Baro wanted all along, an adversary worthy of him, and the finale ends with Steven exiting the lab with his team, prepared to become stronger to rid the world of Baro forever.

Note that this synopsis is missing a lot of details, namely the bad astoundingly funny jokes that would be included. Plus there are several things that I hadn't finalized, but this is as good a summary as any.

I wanted to get this up a couple of days ago, but here are some screenshots from the incomplete Quartz Finale project that I was developing with Pokémon Essentials.

UPDATE
[Note: Blue text is alternatively Steven's narration or his interactions with NPCs.]
[Note²: Red is the default character sprite in Essentials, I hadn't yet changed that before work stopped.]

Probably the final of these updates, here's the final save file from the LP, if you're at all interested in checking out the team and whatnot: -QUARTZ SAVE-
