1) who is your sagefu
2) will the meming and sperging over Dronia ever end
3) will Maj stop holding Mapchat hostage with autist spam

Is there any actual progress happening? Can we see some?

>>24727671
>2) will the meming and sperging over Dronia ever end
But Dronia has literally been the easiest and least time consuming map we've done to date.
I think it's mostly due to everyone just more or less ignoring Majora when he's being retarded.
>Guys I WANT Dronia to look boring
I swear that was a real eye opener.

>>24727706
Badges are ending a feedback survey, plot is doing stuff.
I think stats are pretty much done for the current demo honestly.
Dronia is currently at this layout until next session where we continue doing stuff.
Lots of the buildings/colours will still change though.
Tiles will get fixed up. Blah blah, but this is the current layout from what I can remember.Sorry if I fucked up and that's the wrong image.

I think 3tops made that image in mspaint

it looks dumb
>>24728584
Is the badge survey still open? I've been MIA from Skype for a while and I wanna take the survey
>>24728633
Do you mean tiles themselves or the building choices.
Because it's a growth style choice.
>>24728640
Feedback survey is closed I think.
Actual survey won't be for a little while I guess.
Maybe a few days to a week?
Maybe longer I dunno.
Pokedex is like almost completely done. We're not going to make the last two entries any time soon, so we consider it done at least
>>24728656
the sprite work
the building immediarely north of silpho, for example, doesn't fit with the aesthetic of the buildings underneath it
also the factory tiles don't fit with the tiles you borrowed, they're missing the grey outlines and they look too detailed compared to the existing tiles you used
>>24728678
>also the factory tiles don't fit with the tiles you borrowed
Do you mean the train station.
The building with the clock.
Because I agree that one is definitely off style, but the gym and warehouses aren't.
>the building immediarely north of silpho, for example, doesn't fit with the aesthetic of the buildings underneath it
Sprites will be worked on regardless. I'm not too fond of the concrete buildings and think they could be done differently.
The brick buildings will probably get a different style of roof to differentiate them too.
>>24728717
No, I mean the buildings with smokestacks on the right
>>24728733
Not sure what you mean then.
>>24728748
compare the sides of these buildings, the lower one has a lip running around it to give it depth and fewer actual "bricks" on its wall. The one on the right doesn't so they look weird together.
You might get away with it on a smaller screen but it's something to consider
>>24728800
Ah I see what you mean now.
Thanks.
It hurts me a little inside knowing that about a 1/3 of all the wallpapers I've made are for Sage. Like, in a good way.

>>24728633
Majora has been advocating for replacing the futuristic buildings to late 19th century/early 20th century concrete skyscrapers, so that might help.

Way to remove context.
I was arguing dronia was supposed to look like a generic industrial metropolis, as that's it's concept. You said that's boring.

You idiots don't get it do you? You just continue to default to letting Hunter get his way and it takes up all of your time. Just get your shit together and work. It's not that fucking hard. Remove Mask and life is good. Except you can't because you like him, you're so fed up with his shit you just ignore it, or you're a little bitch. His net value to the project is zero. He drags shit down because he has no aspirations in life and Sage is the only thing that sustains him. He will not adhere to any given timeline because he has no timeline. So if you want this done before Pawter and Mage have kids, or before people move on with their lives, wise up and get rid of Majora.
After that, stop blaming him as the scapegoat for why you all are intent on sticking with the bureaucratic bullshit that drags you all down and slows down progress, and make the fucking game.
Have you even done dialogue yet or are you all procrastinating that because you can't multitask? What bullshit is Chao spewing about plot now?
Get your cumulative shit together and get to work. Stop shitposting about bullshit in offtopic and get working.
>>24737712
Oh, and do an update thread so the anons on /vp/ stop asking if you're dead or not.
>>24737712
>So if you want this done before Pawter and Mage have kids
>implying that won't happen soon
>>24737743
If it does happen soon, then realistically they have 6 months to get as much done as possible. This assumes that a month has gone by before pregnancy is discovered, that the last month of the pregnancy will be a lost cause or accounting for potential premature birth, and giving the duo a full month to insert everything into the game file and hot-fix bugs. After that, it's a waiting game to make more content which will probably take Pawt and Mage to their child's second year of life, giving them more time to program.
But the next demo is getting longer and longer away because Majora a shit, Swimapper a pussy, and the rest of that project are either doing everything (QB, 3Tops), apathetic (Pawter/Mage), or underperforming.

Welp. RIP Sage. Now it'll never get done.
So whos even on the team anymore?
Xen Fettlekish and some of the oldies left, All I know is pawter, dunky, mage and Clash. And people said clash attention whored too much and got kicked out.
Is majora even a factor anymore? He seems to do more harm then good to the project.
>>24738688
>And people said clash attention whored too much and got kicked out.
wat
Swimapper, Clash, Anonymous Requestee, Chaoguy, OrangeMosse, Majora, Eldest Earth, Carson, Gunvarrel, QB, Empty, Maruno, Nondell, Slugman, Mungoman (post-exodus), Ledabot (post-exodus), Mage and Pawter are the people who are generally active.
Some names might not be familiar as they were anon when we were on board.
Dunky quit for the 4th time.
>>24738712
I forgot Mehwhatever and 3tops.
>>24738712
>Gunvarrel
>Slugman
>active
Slug's had school and Gun had work. They have been nowhere near as active as anyone else on that list. Also you're forgetting Brigand, Dex, and Lunarchen
>>24738760
I did forget Brigand and Dex, but Gun and Slug have been more active than Lunarchen recently.
Both of them have worked on Dronia tiles in the past few days.
>>24738767
And Xenon, aka the guy Majora is going to make quit like Tileanon.

Well if you want to get back at it, drop your skype, I'm sure if you're willing to work they'll have you.
Hi, Sage, Tomorrow is our birthday.
Can you give us a gift?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNImjwuVIp4
>>24738847
It's a tempting offer honestly. I'm really looking forward to Dage coming out more then anything Gen 7 or modern pokemon can do.
I'm currently working with a friend on another non-pokemon dev project, but I wouldn't mind helping out if you need an extra hand with maps or sprites. I know my way around GMS and RPGM pretty well.
>>24738876
>Dage
God damnit keyboard.
>Sage
>>24738876
If you help, you have to commit. It's not something you can just say you'll do and then not show up. On busy days when you open skype you'll open it to 2000+ messages. So if you commit, you have to commit. It's not just an extra hand, it's having more hands on deck.
>>24738873
you can have badagon
>>24738885
Exactly why I say its tempting. I know whats involved and I wouldn't want to be a tag along.
I had fun earlier on, but i've honestly got enough on my plate as it is.
If I finish my current project or things go bottoms up with it, I'll send a contact and let you guys know.
Otherwise, I wish you best of luck.
>>24738912
Props to you for being smarter than the 50 people in skype that said they wanted to help, realized that they'd have to work, and then disappeared.
>>24738962
Ha. 'preciated.
I know how dev work goes. I'm mostly learning some extra coding on the side now because Ruby wouldn't cut it for most of the things I wanted to do. So I know how it goes helping and managing a team.
Its also that I really can't justify working on a fan project right now. I'm working on the clock for my producer, so. managing two projects would be pretty bad for both you guys, and my boss.
If I get time off though and you're working still in a year or so, I'll gladly drop in and see if I can help out.
I really am looking forward to Sage, no lie. You guys are my expected GOTY whenever it comes out.
>>24738994
>you're working still in a year or so
Listen man, it's going to be 2 years at minimum. So if you want to get shit rolling and have a take-charge attitude, go for it. But realize that the people there are suckers for being lazy as shit with a few exceptions.
>>24738962
I was one of those guys, I was very down to help and work, but school hit me like a train this semester
>>24737712
We don't want you back by the way.
>>24738962
I'd help out again if you all weren't so autistic and actually wanted to see the game done before 2050. Im sure a lot of the other people on that list feel the same
I might have some time in the next couple weeks to do an update thread. No guarantees on a date. So, is anybody interested?

>>24738841
He just showed up less and less in Skype then just kind of dropped off the face of the earth. The project is better off without him.
In fact, don't say his name, it summons him and I don't want that shitposting here

>>24745735
I'm taking the CAPSLOCK off for this - partially because I'm not trying to troll, but mostly because even I think wall-of-text posts in all caps are annoying as shit.
The point I'm trying to get at is this - there's little to no incentive to have a high level of work ethic for a fangame. Especially when the game is already a generation behind (possibly two, depending on when it finishes).
I understand you guys are doing it for the glory of being "THE GREATEST POKÉMON FANGAME EVERZ OMG," but dedicating five years of your life to it? Why? You have no idea what the future holds.
What if you guys get hit with a C&D? Do you have contingency plans? Are you guys at least using your characters in other types of games to expand the "brand" of Sage?
As an outsider looking in, it feels like you guys made a really awesome Pokédex years ago, and you've been struggling ever since to make it into something special. I still hold out hope for Sage, but it's hard to keep caring about it when all I've seen you guys produce is the same thing, over and over again.
>>24746129
>there's little to no incentive to have a high level of work ethic for a fangame.
And that's why Clover will never be anything but shit.
>>24746204
way to address his questions
>>24746129
>What if you guys get hit with a C&D?
Oh no we'll have stop shut down our... oh wait we'll "have" to do nothing except maybe relocate the wiki.
The horror.
>>24746129
Guy you're responding to here.
Sage isn't for the glory of being "THE GREATEST POKEMON FANGAME EVER". It's an homage to the games that made our collective childhoods and /vp/'s attempt at trying their hand in a serious manner at what has given every person on /vp/ happiness. It's doing it because you want to make something you can be proud of, making something that recreates those feelings that the GF games gave you growing up. It's recreating that sense of wonder walking into a route or that feeling of accomplishment when you beat a gym leader or the E4. Sage isn't about being the greatest, it isn't about making money, it isn't about creating a brand, it's about making a Pokemon game that people enjoy and you take pride in being associated with.
As an outsider, before you decide to criticize and fling crap, perhaps you should do more homework into why the project is as it is. Sage didn't start as a game, it started as /vp/ makes a pokedex, hence the CAP on the wiki (it stands for create-a-pokedex). There can't be a C&D because there is no push to monetize, it's a fan effort for the sake of affection towards the franchise.
You ask about the incentive for a high level of work ethic, the incentive is because you want to do a great job. It's because Pokemon created something wonderful that improved your life in some way and you want to give back. It's because you take pride in your work and in everything you do. It's because you're the best at what you do and you're going to work to improve this particular game. You say it's a generation behind, maybe two, but those are easy fixes depending upon what the general consensus desires (you probably wont get megas or fairies but some basic mechanic tweaks are feasible).
You say the same thing, over and over again, but you know why what came out is what came out and you should know that new items are in the works. They do it for free so give them time or help yourself.
>>24746204
Clover is perfectly fine with what it is. We aren't trying to be some amazing fangame - we're trying to be a game that was created, and more importantly, finished by /vp/.
>>24746214
It's a lot more than that. Nintendo has lawyers, and I'm willing to bet you don't. And while I doubt that you guys will ever actually worry about such a thing, it's always something to be concerned about when working with an IP you don't own.
>>24746269
You answered my questions without being a dick.
You, sir, have my respect.
>>24746320
A counter-reply?
>>24746383
What else is there to say?
I wanted to know why you guys felt the need to work on a game for such a long time. You addressed a lot of my concerns and didn't need to resort to insults.
I mean, memespouting aside, I actually like Sage. I'm just like everyone else on the board, however, in that I'm impatient and never satisfied with what I get. You seem to be genuinely enthusiastic about the game you're producing, and when it comes down to it, that's all that matters.
>>24746296
>Clover is perfectly fine with what it is. We aren't trying to be some amazing fangame - we're trying to be a game that was created, and more importantly, finished by /vp/.

>>24746611
They have. /vp/ is in a sorry state of affairs anon.
So what Pokemon can we expect for the next demo?
>>24748258
Well, to be honest we don't know. When we originally planned 2.0 we had that list of mons you're probably somewhat familiar with, 50 new mons on top of the previous demo. It was made to ease the amount of work needed for implementation and development all at once. But, since the assets and details of mons have progressed further than pretty much everything else and since Maruno made a bunch of badass tools to scrape details from the wiki to speed implementation that's no longer an issue. We're not following that list anymore, placing pokemon where we can agree they'll fit and will continue to fit until a final release. As of now the new mons over top of what was there last demo are Cowatti, Alpint, Forusk, Musburry, Mushbushel, Larvabidae, Caracrust, Carajoule, Caranox, Dreamdery, Macabra, Berratel, Skullarva, Maskoon, Mortasque, Erycoon, Leukoon, Growmeo, Montegrew, Tuliep, Capulilly, Peppit, Hoppanero, Scovalope (maybe), Flowger, Bellotus (maybe), Psybex, Gnuru, Taomarin and Oranutao from Route 3, Dreamdery Ranch, Rustling Forest, Route 4 and Route 5.
