Hi /vp/, today's Sunday which means you get another dose of Sage information. Smokey is busy sleeping so I'm filling in.
>What is Sage Sunday?
Sage Sunday is the updates that the people who are working on /vpmagg/, CAPX, Pokemon Sage, what have you, are releasing weekly.
The wiki can be found here:
http://capx.wikia.com/wiki/CAPX_Wiki
>What's the purpose of these threads?
Discussion and commentary about the ongoings of this project.
>When's the release date? I want to play this!
The current demo's been out for quite a while:
http://capx.wikia.com/wiki/Demo
Demo 2.0 is in the works. As we properly refine what exactly is necessary for the next Demo, we continually push the release date back.
Later on in the thread a full "to-do" list will be posted.
>So what have you guys even done since the last Sage Sunday?
Good question!
>Programming
Route 3 is fully implemented into the game and the Forest is in the works.
Someone finally figured out what the files that caused Macs to crash against Foster were.
>Maps
Maps has confirmed Route 10 and Andante Bay, and is working on a Demo 2.0 section of the Starry Cave.we're also trying to make Route 9 not shit
>Distros
Distributions, which covers what goes on the routes, has been winding down.
Route 4, Route 5, and the Observatory are pending dialogue before a quick review and then shipping to development.
Route 7 has a couple minor things to iron out before dialogue and then reviewing.
Legato's got some general scripting for a couple of events there, but it's otherwise ready.
Droniais to be confirmed with Route 9 so it's being held off on.
Route 10's wild Pokemon are finished.
It'll be in a later image, but the Pokemon there are Solacari, Slatic, Pawter, Pounther, and Cardinite.
>More in next post
>>25645951
pure bug forever
David is a fag
>>25645951
>Sprites
Sprite Quality Control is in the works for the Bouwee line, the Platypow line, and Magnitogre.
>Music
Wibe has started from Dacapo with music, and we're working our way through all areas.
Dacapo to Route 1 is finished, and the rest of the content up to Quaver is in the works.
>Stats
The TMs so far in Demo 2.0 have been distributed to various Pokemon.
These include Dig, Rock Tomb, False Swipe, Struggle Bug, and Hidden Power.
Other minor things include a moveset change and some EV changes. Nothing of note.
On the shitposting side, Megahorn is likely to be removed from Basilect.
>Other
Fog being involved in the game was removed.
Grunts are nearly ready to get a design.
They do, however, now have a standardized pool of Pokemon, barring some reconciliation.
Plot's been being refined. Specific details of an encounter with Team Aurum in Dronia are being hammered down.
Sofia/Simon's team is done.
Now for some actual updates.
This is the Friendly Rival's team. Some of the sprites have yet to be Quality Controlled so don't make fun of them please.
Maps is currently working on a 'teaser' section of the Starry Cave. Here's the current progress on that. Tiles are looking nice as you can hopefully tell.
Here's something that's been posted before - the confirmed Andante Bay.
>>25645994
ignore my shitty cut and paste with those ocerumis on the right
Here's our confirmed Route 10, with the start of Distros work on it - the Pokemon on the route.
And here's what we're trying to do with Route 9. Any criticism here is welcome. We've been toying with ideas to make it less bland.
>>25646018
the tree's overlapping on each other look really bad
>>25646036
This should be good for posting, I think I got the errors but who knows lol. There's a couple of competing dialogues for the trainers so those are blank for now.
>>25646042
It looks better ingame. I'll post a webm of it in a bit.
>>25646054
I don't think it will but i'm open to being proven wrong. How set in stone is that tile/how closely they are packed?
Was it unanimous agreement by you guys? I know my input won't mean much but if a few people among st you guys aren't a fan of it ether, maybe you should consider working on it again for the demo after this upcoming one
>>25646060
>Was it unanimous agreement by you guys?
Mostly. I think I was the only person who didn't like them.
>>25646060
There's not a lot of point in making changes for a vocal minority when you risk upsetting everyone.Actual game devs should try this approach more often.
I barely vetted this one, probably an error hiding around somewhere.
>>25646060
The map was confirmed with 17/19 people for it.
The tile might get worked on a bit, but the packing's set from some ancient hexing trees agreement.
Here's the observatory map - pretty simple.
Ignore the rocks outside of that cave entrance in the upper left. The cave entrance itself should be getting a unique tile, and the rocks will be moved into the cave.
>>25646079
>>25646071
>>25646063
>>25646060
It wasn't universal, at least 4-5 people were against it, but it's unlikely to change, even for demo 3.0. we note your input though and i'll keep it in mind for down the line, I know other anon's have said similar things so clearly it's contentious.
>but the packing's set from some ancient hexing trees agreement.
For normal 3x3 trees, yes, but the dispute is about which palm trees should be used, the thin ones aren't bound to that
>>25646063
Who are you?
>>25646085
>The cave entrance itself should be getting a unique tile
It's already existed for well over a year.
>>25646097
>Who are you?
one of the devs. I should probably namefag when talking about the game, but fuck it.
>>25646085
Ah, this one and the Route 7 one don't have the Wild Pokemon in their templates.
Route 7's a bit more 'developer'. We're trying to see what else we can give the Loggers, if anything, and we might hand an Orett to the Engineer, but it's solid otherwise.
You can see the "dev" quality to some of this, as I usually only refine them when everything's finished.
This should close off the distros update posts. I'll see if I can find that webm.
Music's not really noteworthy yet. We've basically used everything from the last demo again, unsurprisingly.
>>25646097
fuck off maj
>>25646097
>For normal 3x3 trees, yes, but the dispute is about which palm trees should be used, the thin ones aren't bound to that
Thin trees got out voted, please stop.
Here's a quick walkthrough of that Route 10.
It's a bit outdated but should get the point across.
I'll be up for another hour or so for all your fun questions.
>>25646106
I know dummy, i'm saying who exactly so I know if you are sombody who I know already dislikes it or somebody else who I didn't, which would add to the dissent total i'm gonna keep now.
>>25646111
at this rate, not by much. I was against it, as was 3-4 others, plus 3 anons in sage sundays. even not counting the anons, that's enough for it to not have consensus had the nos just all been present at the time.
>>25646107
nah you fuck off
>>25646135
looks worse actually
>>25646097
thank you
>>25646145
Damn those are some wrong opinions.
>>25646139
well gee if they sure had voted against it in confirmation maybe that would have mattered : ^ )
honestly kill yourself
thanks for the interiors
>>25646145
eh. hexing is a art really. having unique tree tiles that hex is pretty challenging - we've been having the same issues with mangroves on route 9
>>25646150
nerd
sure is hot in here
nah 4 real can't wait for the game, been following since day one aight peace
>>25646157
no you fuck off
-------------------
possible erion et admin design
>>25646175
>>25646139
>>25646097
I thought they killed you off? Someone let me in on this spicy hot drama~
oh yeah here's the objectively best design for ETL
i liked it so much i downloaded it twice, lost the downloads, and then downloaded it again
majora is a fag pass it on
>>25646145
I agree too. I can't think of a way to fix that though. Any palm tree tile would have a large top so it would hex badly, so just making a new palm tree wouldn't necessarily fix the problem.
People also don't want to have separate standing alone trees. One of the unwritten mapping rules is that you have a group of trees that's more than a few tiles across, you hex them to make them tidy.
So in the end, we do need to hex the trees, but changing the tree tile specifically wont really help the issue.
quickly vetted this one too
here's the forest going in - grunt details are still bein' worked through though.
>>25645994
Ohh i like how the second pokemon has the 2 types the starter is not.
>>25646107
from level 17 to level 24. quite a level leap on a single route.
>>25646004
made some new rock tiles for this.
Will also be posting older versions of the cave tiles with some gifs that show off the sparkles.
>>25646419
Gonna start from oldest to newest so you can see how things have changed over time.
>>25646413
Dumbasses decided to have the 2nd gym unlock cut. Which is an awful idea, which naturally meant it had tons of support.
>>25646413
You will note that the collector is behind a cut tree. The player won't be able to use cut on their first pass through the route
>>25646427
>>25646427
>>25646430
oh i didnt notice the cut trees, makes sense now.
>>25646434
>>25646437
Posting some layouts we were making for the map itself. They were made before >>25646004 and >>25646419
>>25646452
>>25646454
And the layout we finally decided to go with.
Should explain, this isn't the entire dungeon, just a small area for a plot event. The main cave is HM locked.
This is just a small area because you already go through a large route just to get here and we don't want to stretch out the distance between gym 1 and 2 even more.This whole event was a mistake, fuck plot chat :^)
since david forgot to say it, >>25646464 will probably use the tiles from >>25646004
>>25646498
how could i forget to say what tiles we're probably going with when you posted the map it goes with my friend
come on step it up
>>25646294
Do you have these for the previous routes? It's nice to see all the items and trainers and stuff all in one
>>25646540
I don't think we really had them before we started working on 2.0
Breaking news! Some new music results confirmed for the next demo. You will probably recognize a few of these tracks. They were in the last demo too, but a few will be new.

Some nice tiles and lighting effects can really make a difference.
>>25645978

Didn't someone do them all and people sperged out for some reason? Why did you all do them again? Seems like a waste of time desu senpai.
>>25646175
>posting designs that have already been posted
You failed David. I trusted you and you failed
>>25646018
I like the look and feel of the map, but question: why are there tidepools on two different elevations?
>>25648159
None of the mappers really understand how tidepools work at all
>>25648210
So people admit that they're violating basic physics with it?
>>25648259
it looks cool
>>25648259
Silly anon, mere human abstracts like "physics" or "logic" have no hold in the realm of Mapchat. Only Coolness and Expediency rule there.
>>25648299
>>25648314
I mean I guess it's not the end of the world, it does look cool
>>25648314
Is most of Sage worked on by idiots? Not trying to insult but how intelligent are the workers of Sage? What are some basic IQs?
>>25648703
>Is most of Sage worked on by idiots?
Yes
>>25648760
How dumb are we talking?
>>25648772
Absolutely fucking retarded
>>25648778
Like who? I refuse to believe that all of them are absolutely fucking retarded
>>25648789
Well Dunky for one is probably the dumbest of the bunch. Glad he's gone.
>>25648812
No one cares about him senpai, what about the people still working?
>>25648845
I can give a positive diagnosis for mental retardation for all members of mapchat
>>25647883
some guy did them all but he did a bunch of them stupidly
>>25648159
current map is minimally low tide, where each of the tidepools are is a drop in elevation. at highest tide the pools at the higher elevation are replenished, but it doesn't rise up that much.
>>25648703
I'd say we average somewhere around 80, with IQs trending downwards the further south you go geographically
>>25645951
It's been two weeks since the last one of these. I went through this post; do you guys have more content to share?
>>25649057
Nope that's it, come back next week
>>25649086
nigga we posted the new content
>>25649139
All these things didn't spring out of nowhere, and all the other sage sundays talked about how they were working on parts of the game for months.
There's a lot of region left from that map on the wiki. What's going on in that big desert? Or the jungle in the southwest? Even concept art or rough map ideas or something.
>>25649173
We do the maps sequentially.
We're focusing on the content up to the third gym right now. All maps have older concept maps for them, but they haven't been tweaked to the extent these maps have.
>>25648894
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha this is fucking great
Is this game gonna be hard?
>>25649501
Yes it will be hard.
>>25649501
I remember talk about postgame having level 100 mons, but that was in 2013
>>25649501
We want it to be harder then GF's games, certainly. The challenge is making it a challenge, but not making it tedious, which iis very hard to avoid with the pokemon forumula short of having really good AI; and while we plan on and think we can do AI that's better then GFs, there's only so much we can do with that.
>>25649523
pls no
>>25649594
fuck off majora
>>25649629
you fuck off
I appreciate you guys are keeping us up to date, but for fucks sake stop posting content.
Whats the point if everyones already seen it? You guys need a better manager. You['re supposed to show trailer worthy things, not your entire damn asset pipeline.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if some DA suers stole all your shit already.
>>25651041
you clearly don't understand the ties between CAPX and this board then
This wasn't posted yet and was something that happened entirely since the last thread so why not, the pokemon lines that the Evil Team would use was decided.
Chimpoca, Toxito, Pomparunt and Koblin in the first round.
Pueblant, Quibble and Gilla in the second.
For a total of 7 pokemon lines. Representing the types, fighting, poison, bug, dark, steel, fire, rock, flying, ground. Representing generic evil themes, thug related themes, treasure themes, etc.
>>25651041
"better manager"
do you think this project has a manager
>>25651350
Majora is the manager right? I mean, you all let him run around like one anyways right?
Is 2.0 still coming before Summer?
>>25651823
>>25651823
oh you're a memer, I thought you were actually just a confused anon
>>25651903
What? Who is the blob there?
>>25651932
A bit of one, but he likes to post on multiple topics, so he has to have some managerial role right?
>>25651964
>>25652003
I dont get it
>>25651350
>>25651823
>>25651932

All of us are managers: it's a democracy. It's not efficient and it's not pretty, but it's what it needs to before the project to respect it's origins and it's core tenants.

Can you just like, draw someone who has menopause for once?
>>25652842
Sorry to disappoint those with an old-person fetish. You're going to have to live with foster and maybe shaman. We actually want the majority of our characters to look nice, so they age like asians.
>>25653170
>old-person fetish
This thread has demonstrated that many of you are in facts retarded, but do you mean to tell me that you all design things based on how attractive they are rather than their merit as to the design?
Why do we bother making these threads? Smokey hates it and there is never anything in any of them that amounts to anything or has any ounce of positivism in it.
>>25653403
Fuck off dunky.
>>25653269
I don't design characters at all. Have you stopped for a minute to consider that our characters might actually be young? If they are young, is there any point in making them unattractive? Where trying to make an enjoyable experience here, and quite simply, ticking boxes to fill some kind of attractiveness demographic is not on our priority list at all.
>>25653433
Just seems like there's some rule of cool and rule of hot going on here. Doesn't seem very realistic.
Like, just because you're young doesn't make you attractive. I'm sure that most of the devs are young and ugly as sin right?
>>25653426
Case and point.
>>25653482
Well, if it's so much shit, what are you doing to fix it?
>>25653454
again. wtf would we deliberately make ugly characters. It doesn't benefit anyone.
>>25653512
Because that's indicative of real life? I know you devs like to do meetups and circlejerk on social media, so you know what you all look like. So, how does that make your game believable if everyone is a waifu or husbando? It's simply unrealistic.
>>25653553
>real life
Sorry bud. This is pokemon. Not real life. realism is not something you should go to pokemon to find.
If you really can't handle it, go check the official games and find an ugly character before complaining to us. I don't even want to bring it up as a discussion point without some basis.
>>25653597
>Not real life
Then why is nurse joy tan?
My is Magnitogre so hideous? Most sage fakemon look okay, but that specific one looks like something a twelve years old drew. Why is that allowed?
>>25653403
because I'm a masochist
>>25653639
I ask myself the same question frequently. Some things fell through the cracks earlier on in the project's history when quality control wasn't as high. Sometimes it's just shit taste.
>>25653639
What a meanie.
>>25653639
Why is [insert pokemon] so hideous? Most Pokemon look okay, but that specific one looks like something a twelve years old drew. Why is that allowed?
>>25651041
I actually fully agree with this. Unfortunately not many others in the project share the same opinion.
>>25653690
That sounds like a red hot opinion to me.

>How long have you guys been working
To long
>estimate of when the full release
We don't give estimates since they're normally taken out of context, taken to seriously or generally are just inaccurate.
>>25653934
We have been working on it since October 2012, and no real estimate. But games take time to make, so don't expect it super soon. But glad you are interested in our game!

Well I went though the archive to see if I could find it, but all I found was some guy saying he likes our route 9 from 3 sage sundays ago and that hes hyped for QBs route 12. sorry anon. Please use more buzzwords so we can find your feedback easier.

i'm fine just busy with life and not patient enough for the current stage of the process.
>>25653674
Is there any chance it will get a decent redesign, or will idiots like >>25653690 just go "waah waah anything that I don't agree with personally is just subjective opinion, even poor design".
>>25654681
Designs are locked forever.
>>25654681
No, stop hurting me.
I've watched a lot of retards play this on youtube, and so many people just silently mash through the "your fonts are shit" message and go through the game with it looking like turd.
I think it's written too formally, people see "won't be optimal" and "install" and just tune out.
If there's really no way for the fonts to just work internally, then the message should be changed to something simple.
>The fonts used in this game are not set up.
>Please copy the files in this game's Font folder to the Font folder in the control panel and restart the game.
>>25654700
This guy's got great ideas.
>>25654700
Is it possible to make a thing where people get made fun of for not installing the fonts? Like all of the hint signs call them a faggot?
>>25654700
Funny enough, the only time I've seen the fonts automatically install is on a mac.
>>25654681
no, go away. no one wants you here
>>25654681
>Is there any chance it will get a decent redesign
Not really, no.I suppose it's possible if the game is almost done and most of the current devs have cycled out and the then current ones are okay with it, maybe, since the mino change locking survey did say there could be a final review where they could be considered again once everything else is done, but even then that's super unlikely.
Our of curiosity, is there a specific thing that you'd want changed about it?

that will never happen.
There is less than 0% chance of that happening.

There are two ways
a) you post a redesign
b) you shitpost hard enough
Pick one, preferably a.
Remember every major redesign has been decided on after someone posts their redesign and not before.

I doubt some anonymous user requests would be enough for some devs to consider but I really preferred the previous version of Vectol.2 over the latest version. In my opinion, the previous one looked more like newly-refined Vectol that appears more scorpion-like whereas the latest one just feels like "modified-Vectol" which makes it less-threatening. Outside of that, it's only design in sage dex that throws me off. Everything else in the sage dex is pretty solid.
>>25658476
Well, if you read above, you'll see how contentious even very minorr fixes to designs would be.
So not only is totally overhauling the design even more of a fraction of a fraction of a chance of happening, but it explicitly lost to the new design. If it was a vote that was ongoing, i'd advocate for your input to mean something even if it didn't apply as an actual vote, but the matter is pretty settled.
If there's a specific thing you have in mind that would just change the current a bit to make it better in your opinion, posting an edit showing that would be your best bet, but again, even that is not very likely to go anywhere.

>>25664016
> crystall skull fossil will never happen
>>25664303
Then what is it? Why is it there?
>>25664330
It's a wet forest, due to rain, leading into a swamp area.
>>25664360
I'm pretty sure that there is a name for stuff like that.
Wet forest isn't exactly a decent descriptor.
>>25664380
Okay... so?
>>25653674
You mean like the Caras?
>>25664391
So then maybe, the reason why you can't get a map to work, is because you have no concept and rule of cool is fucking horrible.
Commit to a concept and roll with it, otherwise you have just a bunch of puddles that people dont understand why they're there.
Either turn that part of the map into marshland that leads into the swamp area near the cycling road, or get rid of it.

That's just it, though. Their designs are really bland, nothing about them stands out.
>>25664424

>>25664410
I think the map works fine, votes might agree with me they might not.
If they don't we'll keep working if they do then we're good for the demo.
>>25664467
I don't disagree, but if I had to go through the dex now and pick things for us to go back and fix design wise, i'd still limit it to stuff that's bad rather then just bland, like magnitogre or smashiary.
>>25664484
They don't agree with you. That map has been around for months. It is not alright and is a conceptual failure. At some point you need to accept that you have shit taste in this scenario and you need to compromise on your beliefs to get this game made.
The map is bland, has no concept, cannot commit to any one theme, and screams blandness. Just look at that map. Seriously, it's just varying colors of green. You walk in and feel like you're in a forest but then there is a bridge over some puddles. That's right, puddles. Why are there puddles in the middle of the map?
If it is supposed to be a swamp, why the fuck is it not connected to any other water source and in a valley to the connecting marshland? It doesn't make any sense and is there for the sake of looking cool.
Turn that middle area into a sunken marshland with some actual surf spots that can lead to some secret areas in the route south of Route 9 and maybe you'll have something everyone likes.
