When is Pokemon Sage getting an update?

Ran out of space, continuining

>OP image
I'm not a pokecoomer but I am a huge autist for archiving art and media related to the project project (we got the Xochi model Boogie made, for example), if it's not already on e621 or something, upload it.

I've never played Clover but i've heard good things about the actual game even if the dialog and mons and such are pretty much shitposting in game form.

As far as Sage, I guess i'd ask what you mean by a "refined team building experience"? The ethos for our development is to make it feel like the official games in tone and format and gameplay, and what deviations we make from that are always hot;ly contested (which can sometimes lead to less then ideal results when the compromise is something both the purist and "GF mistakes" camp are unhappy with), but generally speaking we go out of our way to give mons more useful moves and tools and stats from a usability perspective, and to make gym and other important battles to be an actual challenge with smartly designed teams.

But we still also value flavor a lot, my own philosophy on pokemon distros, movesets, stats, and teams is very flavor/lore (or headcanon, really) driven.

Basically, i'd say it's something in between a traditional pokemon game, and a romhack or a fangame that goes all in stuff designe for competitive players: We aren't the latter, but we try not to do stupid things and try to take advantage of the fact wer're cognizant of how hardcore players play.

We're between gym 5 and 6 in content. We haven't fully started on designing Ossia, the gym 6 city yet, but like if when we finished the gym 5 town was a 5, and doing the gym 6 city is a 6, we're maybe at a 5.7 or a 5.8 (again, not out of 10, but in terms of gyms)

All of them, best Fakemon designs of any fan game/rom hack

wqsnt there a giraffe and a ice bunny in this game or am i thinking of another games dex?

>there's not as many people involved who can (...) run surveys and meetings
Are you seriously telling me the game is dead not because you have an election for the most menial shit possible, but because you don't have enough people willing to even set up the voting process for the most menial shit possible?

well i wanted to make boarealis ice/electric so don't look at me

Hey I was gone from 2015 till 2021, don't blame me

My prior posts in the thread were already more my assessment then any sort of formal statement (I'm typing this out myself alone), but what i'm gonna say here I wanna stress even further as solely my opinion

The specific issue of "people running surveys/meetings" I think has less to do with a lack of people to do them, and more to do with people present being busy. Which I guess you could argue is the same thing, but like, I could run a survey or a meeting, as could a dozen other devs, the act of running meetings or making suirveys, while a skill to an extent (especially if you want to make sure that the survey is procedurally sound and doesn't have flaws with competing options and stuff), isn't something that's super ultra specialized

The issue is that a lot of us only have so many hours a day to contribute to the project, and that means beyond limited time to run or make meetings, it means limited time for people to actually be around to vote or be present in them. We aren't on Any Forums anymore, but it's still supposed to be a democracy and if we run like a meeting every day then a lot of people are gonna miss out on giving their input

Additionally, as much as I view it with chagrin (get it? like chegrin? ) since it goes against the idea that everybody is equal, there have been specific people who have settled more into the role of surveyors and meeting-organizers, and I think people are a little hesitant to step on their toes and would rather defer to them doing it. We also, frankly, sort of have shit organization as far as project resources and directories: internal master lists of sprites and maps and confirmed dialog or WIP assets and stuff are scattered across different google documents and there's no 1 place where all of them is assembled, and I *think* the main place we run surveys from now is actually just one person's personal google account

ran out of space again

cont:

So even if somebody wanted to put together a meeting, they may not have all the prior shit on hand that people need for context for said meeting. Better centralization of resources is something I personally want to work on, but I myself am busy with a lot of IRL stuff and other online projects too.

Realistically, I don't think having more meetings more frequently is likely to improve the situation much, unless you want a sloppier end result and less people able to contribute. Having more people around, and/or the people already present having less stuff going on in their lives to contribute more, on the other hand, would help, especially as would better centralized resource directories. We also really need more spriters and tile artists. If you're an user from the old sage threads you'd know we had an amazing artists who did both Sugimori style official art as well as sprites and tiles and who made the entire fucking intro animation themselves, they were an absolute machine and they have medical issues now and only pop in once every few months or year, for example. We have very few dedicated pixel artists.

DESPITE ALL THAT:

There is plenty of active work being done: Ashley's design got finalized, work on route 16 is progressing well, planning on Ossia is starting to come together, Sandra's design is in the process of being finalized, we're nailing down specifics regarding how move tutors will work, etc. A lot of of the small autistic descisions that sage was infamous for surveying every little aspect of is now largerly handled by distinct chats that can confirm details at their own discretion during meetings or over the course of chat discussions outside of them if there's enough consensus.

if you guys actually want to get shit done you should probably designate some official team leaders
there is a reason that valve, famous for their hierarchy-free dev environment, never makes games

Show proof or you're just bullshitting.
