[Released] Pokemon Pathways (1/29/24: Alpha 8.5.3)

[Gray-_-Hatred]

I found some bugs, going around the campus lots such as the market or library, I could not talk to very few people. Just a few I could not talk to. However, my biggest bug I found was that while exploring the wild area after the first day of class, report to teacher when done, I had gotten into a battle accidentally and died. I then got into a wild battle and my Pansage was full health? Then I went to the pokecenter and when she finished, I had TWO pansage following me!! It was weird! I was never sent to the Poke Center when I lost the battle which was weird, then I had two pansage following me? Is this a known bug or did I completely mess my game up? I am willing to redownload if this is fixed as I loved the game within the first few minutes!!!

What version of the game do you have?

I thought I caught all the bugs! I guess not lol, I'll be releasing 1.3 later on. Just keep doing your thing and find more bugs while you can so I can dish em out for the next patch

 

[OxenKing]

oh! i found another two errors but afraid i didn't caught a screenshot. so:
1. first time playing. i choose born as my mentor and then i got lost. i walked into the cafeteria and talked to his friend (gray hair dude), he told me that born is in the battle arena. i got there and when i entered i got a crash. an script error about event 1?
2. budew as my following pokemon. i talked to it and it was saying something along the lines "[pokemon name] is so happy it is jumping around" after that i suppose it should show the hopping animation but again i got a script error.
sorry i didn't take a photo
are you looking for grammatical mistakes too?

Found more bugs the blue version of you doesn't talk when you try and talk to him in the battle club, principal doesn't talk ,if you study at library with only 10 energy the guard traps you inside, if you talk to the guy at the front inside the battle club and he lets you in and instead of walking further in you go back out and then back in there's now two of him one to the side and one at his usual position, you can walk on roof of student lounge, you can walk on top part of table on lower left end of the ground floor of the student lounge.

Also I noticed your fix for people not talking is almost always just removing them, weren't they there for a reason like the witch girl is my only classmate that can't seem to be found anywhere. It bothers me that the only person I can bond with is the street fighter girl. Another issue I have is while when asked if I wanted a tour or to explore on my own choosing tour it told me raised my intelligence, but no other choices give me that notification about my stats. Sure studying at the library would say intelligence has increased but not any choices and I know some choices must affect my stats because I noticed some go up at the end of the first day of class. Speaking of stats there's areas to train intelligence, strength and skill but what about charm how do I raise that? Also I know I got escorted by the police at the start but done a number of good deeds and got explain why I was being escorted yet it said something like a bad rep of 8 or something, was my bad rep just that high or did things like finding the mans monocle not do anything? It would be nice if it said something about if my actions had lowered or raised my rep. I also would like to know is there any advantages to finishing the D-rank Class early or is best to unlock all the D rank fields first. Well anyway the game has a lot of potential and I really did like how I got to beat up a hitmochan with my bare hands and that I did get to tell people about it. Also like being able to break rocks with my hands, will I be able to push boulders at some point? Anyway it's nice to be a powerful human as well, people often forget pokemon also has superstrong people and psychics and mystics.

I remove the people not talking because I have bigger plans for them in the future patches to come. I have to build the affinity system for your class mates. For now the only person you can truly build affinity with
is the street girl as a test to see if the affinity system can work. I plan on adding notifications on all the stats, and Charm will actually be obtainable through completing quest and talking with NPC's but it isn't as common to gain as the other stats in the current patch (Alpha 1.2.5) I installed a new quest UI script, so in the 2.0 Expansion, There will be a quest menu.

Also, in the alpha, Good Rep and Bad rep both accumulate, and rarely go down, however, this is only because I didn't create as many routes to earn or lose reputation, Nevertheless, this is being worked on along with adding new features to the game. It is better to unlock all the D-Rank fields first, though, when more classes become available for you to unlock, it'll be up to the player to decided when they want to move on
to the next class. Doing so early, may get you less fields to use when you graduate, in turn, less Pokemon, stats and missed opportunities for you to have. A downside to this though would be spending more
time on a lesser rank, which may mean weaker pokemon. You may already be strong enough to move forward. You could be saving time by skipping floor fields, but that's all up for the player to determine.

Yes you will be able to push boulders too, and that's where strength will come into play :)

You've been very helpful with the progression of this new game concept I'm trying to tackle. Every bit of feedback is appreciated!

I just downloaded the version that is posted above where to download. I had the older version. This is working much more smoothly now, thank you! Now it is dark out and I do not know what else to do do get my energy below 30 :( Any advice?

 

[Pienyx]

I just graduated from d rank, the game has been fun so far. I went to the library to get some intelligence because I had some extra energy but when I left it was night time and I was stuck on the guy that keeps you from going in to the library. When quitting i accidentally saved and now i'm stuck and really don't feel like doing the first hour of the game again.

I see, if you're looking to get your Energy below 30, I suggest going to the battle club at night. If you'd like to raise your energy you can buy poke pasta at the cafeteria. We're working on new ways to drain and boost energy!

Hello, in the 1.2.5 version, the graphics in game ERM I don't know how to say, for example the floor in the player room have some place become black and that black floor can reflect the character too. Also, some place on the wall, the street and surrounded the object become black too. It's not make the game crash or something but it really annoying sometime.

 

[Luvyaoi]

Ohh and I have some thing to ask, (because I don't use discord) I know how to train strength and intelligent, but how to train skills and charm? When I finish the entrance exams, the notebook show that I got 1 charm, when I go around the town and do mission, it turn into to 3. And after I go to the dorm, I found out its increase to 10! But I don't know why? Can anyone help me?
And the skills, it still 1 from the start to when I go to the dorm QWQ

Reading a book gives intelligence but the amount isn't always set, you can earn 2 or 4, and you lose intelligence by doing homework. I'm releasing 1.3 shortly, and some of the problems you may be experiencing will be fixed. You can earn skill by doing battle club and charm isnt as common yet

It is better to unlock all the D-Rank fields first, though, when more classes become available for you to unlock, it'll be up to the player to decided when they want to move on

So there won't be any events at a certain date that can only be done if your a certain rank or above, or anything like that.

 

[Duoshiki]

I dont know what's wrong with mine. The game and its presence I enjoy but I'm literally stuck at a point where I cannot progress because the game just crashes when I talk to the police woman to get to the place I couldn't go before.

I've noticed that as well some sprites just did not load and I was confused where I just walked at something and something was there. I joined the discord to ask but I'll ask here as well. Game fun either way

 

[Gray-_-Hatred]

So there won't be any events at a certain date that can only be done if your a certain rank or above, or anything like that.

There will be, but currently that isn't in the Alpha, but time specific events will be a thing!

 

[pika1025]

Are only pansage panpour and pansear can be obtained as starters? Or is there an another option to starter somehow

 

[Zim32]

but time specific events will be a thing!

So when you say there won't really be any advantages to finishing early, you mean there should always be plenty of time to unlock all the fields and then move up before the event, or do you mean your rank won't matter for these time specific events.
