Did that anon who was making Pokémon Alchemist ever make a new thread?
Pic unrelated
I waiting for new thread too.
Bump.
just started playing this today, where do I go after the first gym?
Maybe OP will see this and just migrate over here. Here's hoping.
Whats with the OP trainer in route 4 with the lv 35+ mons, was like 20 levels above me
>>26702627
The swimmer? We caught that in my stream. It should be fixed, but I guess not.
>>26702732
yeah, just before you hit the beach
>>26702759
I'm just a tester, so I don't fix it, but I thought it was patched.
>>26701724
After the first gym, go back to ocean town and mom will give you surf. Surf East and you'll continue on.
From OP last thread:
The thread and google doc have been the best for changes. In the future I'll probably have a relic castle / pokecommunity thread, but not until I'd consider the game 99% done.
If there's some major glitch, and the thread is gone, you can contact me
http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=608354
http://reliccastle.com/forums/member.php?action=profile&uid=1857#comments/1
or even steam, same username
Although, I would prefer getting a good ol' (You) in this thread, as long as it's up. I guess we'll see how long it lasts.
So if you need to get in touch with them it's doable still.
Also from OP:
>How can I download, etc.

The game is not complete, so be careful. I've been tinkering around with random parts of the game recently, and while I've tested them, stuff could still just go wrong. Be
careful! I'd like your feedback on anything really, from Routes and Towns to Difficulty.
I'll post some of my favorite maps and stuff too, if you guys would like. Or even some maps I think could be improved.
Thanks for testing!
Hey guys, I'm glad there's still a demand for the game even after the thread died.
Since someone asked last thread, I've turned my trip back on.
Not sure how long this thread is going to last as well but I'll happily continue to get feedback and stuff from here.
>>26702627
This was fixed in a recent update, two swimmers had the same name.
>>26701724
You can check the map in the Pokemon Center, you head east from Ocean Town
Vlaceon here! The stream is up and running for anyone wanting to see the game before downloading!
/vlaceon
Just started the game, will keep an eye out on bugs. Also here's a free bump for you Alch Dev
>>26703257
Bumpin' with a comfy screenshot someone posted last thread.
>>26704471i posted that screenshot
>>26703918
thank you, hope you enjoy
Ok, I believe I've fixed an issue with the dreaded Blue Ribbon Battle Theme, thanks to some help from some wonderful people on Relic Castle.
I've uploaded a new patch that fixes the music, alongside some mid game balance changes.
If anyone has any issues with music not playing PLEASE tell me, because I personally cannot experience the issue, I have to rely on testers for this.
>>26706043
Thanks for everything you do devanon.
Isn't this the game that has both game and anime characters?
No thanks, sounds too autistic for me
>>26707023
I hope you guys enjoy the game just as much as I enjoy updating/fixing things
>>26707041
no, the furthest autismo I go is that Looker and Colress are in the game.I dropped light platinum the second ash ketchum showed up, not a fan of that kinda stuff either
>>26707091
Ah maybe I'm thinking of Light Platinum then, all g.
What do you mean by autism and Looker and Colress in the game?
>>26707132
You said including anime characters was autistic, and I said the furthest in terms of autistic character choices I included was Colress and Looker.
Before-bed-bump. If this thread dies will you be making another?
>>26707692
I'm heading to bed as well, so bumping the thread/whatever is in the hands of everyone else.
I never intended on making another until about a week or so after E3, but someone else made this one. I'll just keep posting here till it dies.
>>26707749
I'm ~15 minutes in and here are my critiques so far:
-Battles are very slow, move animation take too long
-The music doesn't loop properly, there is no "obtained item" sound for certain things, and the ledge jumping sound effect is too loud compared to the music
-I like the horizontal scrolling move selection
-I have no idea whether you obtain the running shoes later, but I can't get the run feature to work. If the running shoes are an item you obtain later on, you should introduce running controls to the player when they receive them rather than in the beginning.
-The fact that b and start are the same button triggers me
-The aesthetic of the first route and town are very nice, good job.
>>26708227
Played some more and I retract my statement that moves are too slow, they're perfect speed. Also got the running shoes and running is fine.
Twist it
Pull it
Bump it
Just started playing,the starting town is comfy as hell.
Anyone know where I am supposed to go after the 4th gym? I assume I'm supposed to try and find those islands but I can't seem to find them.
>>26709956
Gym 4 is Julia, right? Next is going south, back to graphite, and then north to icepick.
What to do after going to power plant area for first time, theres a pokemon outside but I cant interact with it
>>26710266
The actual place to go to continue is going north of river town
>>26710356
but i get a message saying cant go further still something to do
>>26710394
Talk to professor palm a bunch of times
just got the eevee and lets me go further now thanks
>>26708227
Thank you for all the feedback. I've changed a couple of things, such as adding a tutorial when you get the shoes. I'm looking into the sound not playing, and while I am planning music to loop, that's coming a little later since it's a big project.
>>26710266
I've fixed the Pokemon appearing in more recent updates, it's supposed to be postgame only.
Thank you to everyone else who posted bumps, feedback and help. I appreciate all of it. Now who's ready for E3?!
>>26711408
My saved disappeared when I downloaded a big release. What do?
>>26711408
Also, the DP Style Font is bugged, there is no space character, so all the text is glued together. This happened since the first time you made the thread but I haven't reported it at all.
Can't find it on Google. Link?
>>26711957
When was your initial download? saves should work across updates. The only issue was at one point when the name was incorrect, but I quickly fixed it. You could simply re-name the 'Essentials' to 'Alchemist' if thats the case and see if that works.
>>26712008
Hmm, it's probably an issue on your end. I've watched two streams with the DP font and used it myself personally with no problems. There's a couple of other fonts you could try using if thats the only bugged one.
>>26712112

anyone know where to go after beating the first gym?
>>26712197
Head back to the starting town and you can get surf. Theres maps in the poke center
Page 8 bump.
How can I access the PokeGear?
>>26713924
I should put a message in the game regarding this, it's currently disabled because theres no point in using it. I'm going to put it back in when I give it a purpose
Back-from-grocery-shopping-bump.
You can now press F6 to access the Pokegear with the new update. Although it's still pointless, there's some radio available along with a map, and you can call to check the Pokedex.
In the future I want to have a re-battle system with the Phone, like in HGSS.
>>26715816
Thank you, i just don't think the threads gonna last without the flashy op post and with the recent announcements.
>>26716163
I'd stream that if everyone wasn't busy with E3
>mfw 20 kb/s download because of a storm
>>26702804
>>26703257
Different anon here. I just beat the first gym and went back to ocean town, but mom won't give me surf.
>>26717464
Did I get that wrong? Probably. I'm not sure where you get surf then
>>26717526
>>26717464
She's outside the house near Route 1, thought I made her unmissable but I guess not.
have a todd in honor of e3
>>26717555
Okay, I found her.
Are the headbutt trees on route 2 supposed to have encounters? The ones one route 1 worked fine, but I headbutted every tree on route 2 I could find to no avail.
>>26717947
Where exactly? I've been running up and down route 1 after getting my badge and I still can't find her anywhere.
>>26717980
>>26717947
Nevermind. She's not really outside the house on route 1, shes sort of there at the entrance to route 1
>>26717947
You can check encounters at any time with the pastebin link on the google document.

Dev, did you ever change the way certain Pokemon evolve such as ones that need to be traded or ones like Feebas that need contests and beauty stats?
>>26718143
There's a trade stone in the game, and there's a Glaceon and Leafeon stone. I've actually forgot about Feebas, I'll add the Prism Scale somewhere in the game in the next update, along with some of the other items like Magmarizer, etc. I've forgot about.
Just a quality of life suggestion. In the food shop in the resort area, letting you buy potions or anything else would be very welcome before a large forest+trainers afterwards.
>>26718650
There's a lady inside the Resort who heals your Pokemon
Post teamsTake a snapshot with F8. It should be in the same path as >>26712146
Anybody knows where you're supposed to go after beating the water gym
Or alternatively which badge do you need to use the hm strength
>>26721260
You're supposed to head back down to Graphite and climb up to Mt. Icepick. Strength was supposed to work after the 4th Gym, but when I updated Essentials my settings reset and I forgot to swap it back.
I've fixed it so you can progress. update out
Just curious, you've beaten the Water Gym, how do you feel about difficulty in the game?
>>26721786
The difficulty is pretty good though wild pokemon always felt like their level were too low so keeping up in level is probably pretty hard if you decide to use a full team
I did have to scum through the normal gym by spamming potions and using the X battle items and quilava's defense curl otherwise I'd get almost ohko by its munchlax
Sweet.
Also, none of the blue ribbon battles have music for me, dev
>>26722392
I'm dying over here, most recent update right? I've replaced all the music files like 3 times and they still don't work.
shiny in the premier ball tho
>>26722031
I'll buff some wild pokes up if they're lagging behind in some areas
>>26721786
Not that anon but I finished the 4th gym recently as well. I'm quite pleased with the difficulty personally I feel like you've done a good job of making boss trainers challenging without over-leveling them.
I do have two glitches to note though. Firstly when I go into Graphite City from the west after the 4th gym I get stuck as soon as I leave the building. I also have acquired permanent rain from the 4th gym leader battle it persists across routes and through buildings I fear for the children of this land and dread the day when I am hailed as rain god.
>>26722485
actually I'm not on the most recent update so that's probably why
>>26722493
I've added some more events that remove weather.
I've fixed the bugged little exit as well.
If you're interested in removing the rain, there's some weather tiles above Graphite City, or you can go back to the 4th gym.
>>26722517
The music has been glitched for people who download for an eternity, I can't seem to fix it.
new update, weather persistence fixed along with a bugged exit to Graphite City
>>26722629
I lost my godlike powers while trying to terraform the desert sadly. First time I've played in a few days and I have to say the extra options in the options menu and new battle menus are all excellent keep up the good work.
So I went to Icepick and noticed that even though I have beaten 4 leaders I only have 3 badges on my trainer card. I assume I'm missing the water badge since I can't use strength but the water gym leader won't battle me.
>>26722644
The battle system is actually Elite Battle, done by Luka. He does essentials scripts and they instantly improve any game.
>>26723006
can I have a look at your trainer card? I'll hide an event for you that adds the correct badge, I've also fixed the error on one of the Gym Leaders.
>>26723108
Don't worry about hiding an event if you've got it fixed in current versions I don't mind restarting, I'm actually enjoying looking for glitches and such.
>>26723143
I've uploaded a fix, the gym badges should be fixed. Every gym gives the proper bagde and now hms work.
For those of you not interested in restarting, you can grab your 3rd badge here, in Sandveil.
>>26723296
Vlaceon here. Given the progress of the stream save, I probably shouldn't restart, huh?
>>26723565
probably not
Talking to the ice gym leader while he stand in his office entrance after beating him will start another battle
>>26724157
I've caught the error, luckily not gamebreaking.
It will be fixed when I upload the next patch,
is the leader of the ember ekans gang supposed to have a shiny ekans? or did I just get unlucky and got a shiny spawn in a trainer battle?
>>26724578
He had a shiny for me as well, and I'm pretty sure I remember the dev saying that it was intentional.
any idea where to find a HA darumaka?
>>26724578
it was intentional, I just wanted a fun way to make the side area memorable
>>26724821
currently there isn't any hidden ability stuff, while its possible to force them yet I just haven't thought of a good way to implement them, they're reasonably rare in main games, so I don't really want to just hand them out but I'm not sure of a good way.
new update
fixes an exit in cobble cave, trainer level
6th gym leader correctly disappears
fixed some cactus stuff
>>26725111
Not sure if you've finished PWT yet but they could be rewards for that. Or you could put some of them in the mines in addition to shinies. Also found a couple small bugs nothing major.
Pokemons hp bar stays on screen after catching while pokedex entry opens
Chatot can be asked to use chatter like an HM which crashes the game
Can surf on docks like where you get old rod
The 4th gym has some pathing issues: you can walk on the waterfall in the back, surf on the leaders platform, and walk on the currents near the entry way.
