Renegade Update + Something Else!

So, if you haven't been keeping up with my socials, or you aren't in the Discord, I just want to repeat that Renegade Route is done!

What does "done" mean in this context?

It means every event that progresses the main story is complete. Polish that includes side details, and other things have not been completed. Additionally, everything has not been tested sequentially.

That being said, Renegade Route will not start testing until Paragon is done. Once Paragon testing is comp...

New Gearen Events!

So I to extend off what I spoke about with Gen 9... There are two new events that I've done in East Gearen to include some of those Gen 9 mons.

A new alleyway has propped itself up! In this, you will find a gang of Tarountula and their leader, Spidops, causing havoc. You know where this is go...

Custom Megaz Rebalancing + 1 more

Hey! So, some team members (mostly Fal, Haru, Alex and Az) went back to our list of custom megas for Rejuv. (This entails max forms being converted into megas), and decided that they're all really boring megas and we want to be more creative with it.

So, like 95% of the custom megas have gotten some changes. You can see all these POTENTIAL* changes, here:

*Subject to change

Gen 9 Extravaganza

hey.

Okay, I'll be real. I've been in a huge rejuv mood so I've been going nuts with development, much to the detriment to my perception of time.

Yes I forgor to post yesterday, and I was about to forget AGAIN. But Zumi reminded me right as I'm about to go out.

So, let's speedrun this post.

I went on kind of a huge spree of adding Gen 9 Pokemon all over the game. Adding new Pokemon to this game is really annoying because encounters work like this:
You can have as ma...

Test-imonials of the tested. Also an arcade

Hey all. I know I said I was gonna post an update yesterday, but the cold truth is that...

Well, I forgor.

But I'm here, queer, and ready to spread some Team (Xen) Cheer!

So, what happened this week? Well, me and the Team (MoonPaw joined us!!), did an impromptu testing period for part 2 of Paragon!

Here are some testimonials lol.

General V14 Update!

Hey... how y'all doin.......

Uh... Okay, it's been a while!

So, what's been going on? Well, basically I had to get back on some depression medication and thus had to crash out in silence for a while!! It happens. I didn't work on Rejuv for like a 3 week period. However!! These past few days I got back into it and I have been making some serious, serious progress.

Current standings:

Paragon Part 1: Complete! Renegade Part 1: Complete!...

v14 General Update

hey! It's been a while since my last update, but rest assured that everything is going smoothly! I've noticed a pattern that has ingrained itself into me. I work like crazy for 1 week, then I burn out for one week, and so on and so forth. Right now I'm on my burnout period lol.

But, that being said, if I'm on my burnout period, that means I went on my locked in period last week, and boy did I lock in. Finished up the entirety of the Xen HQ building in one week. I thought it was going t...

Xen Divisions / Atebit Testing

I'll be honest, this week has been kind of hell lol. Not for me explicitly, but for my family. We've been going through a lot so not much progress has been made, but "not much" implies that -some-, yes?

Well, I took the time to work on the Xen HQ again, this time on Renegade.

The Xen HQ, and, Reldin Island as a whole, is divided into two sides by a massive magma lake.

The Climb of the Wonder Tower

Last time (I think), I mentioned that there would be a conflict left unresolved, and I showed pictures of the new area exclusive to Renegade.

 [Image ID: Aevia in the GEN 2 world]

That being this picture, but I actually wanted to talk more about this area!
So, this place is actually quite unique. It's not like any other place in rejuv right now. This place is called The Wondertower.

Conflicts Left Unchecked (Renegade Spoilers)

Hey everyone !

Things have been going well on my end for once. I finally feel motivated and able to work on things. Definitely not my previous Power Level, but one that's nice and healthy!

I've been back to working on Renegade like I said in the previous post. This time focusing on a certain conflict that was resolved early in Paragon, but left to fester in Renegade...

Bane of the Renegade

So first thing's first, no Paragon is not done.

But I got too bored of it.

So now I'm doing Renegade stuff!
It's no secret that I've been sort of burned out on things. Not specifically Rejuv related, but just the State(tm) of things and personal things bringing me down.
It's been tough!

But I'm getting through it. Slowly but surely.
Anyway, Renegade.

Custom Character Final Update

Hey there. So, I've been debating making this post for a while. I've been hesitant because I'm not one to let go of something (Even to my detriment as my friends would tell me), but I'm just going to come to terms with it.

Unfortunately, I have come to the decision to cancel all orders* for the custom characters commissions. Before I explain why, I want to say that I am willing to issue complete and full refunds depending on the circumstances. If you still want the other benefits o...

v14 Update + Speedmap Video!

Happy New Year!

Last year was a tough year for me. Despite that, I was able to get a LOT done.

I unfortunately did not finish my goal of finishing Paragon before the New Year, though. I swear, I feel like every time I set a goal for myself I completely underestimate the time I need to complete it. Sometimes I feel like if I was more disciplined and had more energy, I could pull these deadlines off, but man it's rough out here.

That being said, I have no intention of putting...

Miscellaneous V14 Update

hey.

random post on a Thursday afternoon!

I just wanted to give a little bit of an update with stuff. Nothing specific on development, but I think more frequent posts about misc. things could be fun? Idk. I'm trying new things :).

This week I worked on some very important cutscenes. A few (compact) lore bits that I think will cause everyone, or at least most, some minor (major) brain damage.

Anyway! I took the time to finish up editing the rest of the Mad...

v14 Part 1 | Between Heaven and Hell Preview

Enjoy this short preview of v14. The art showcase is being saved for the official public release! The beginning of the v14 is a bit "slow", but trust me it ramps up a lot after that short period...

What will transpire in the final visit to the past?

Well, I know. You will, too.

Eventually.

Progress Report #6 | Final Report

hey.

being honest. I didn't get anywhere near close to my goal by the end of this.
I kind of figured that'd be the case, but I wanted to try anyway. The stuff here is too ambitious, time consuming, and tbh difficult to complete in just a 6 week schedule. I mean, it's been longer than 6 weeks, but I was busy irl and all that. And at certain points I got a lot done outside of what was laid out in the schedule anyway.

So where does that leave us? Let's take a look at the stats. 2024-10-26 01:16:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Rejuv 13.5 Dev Livestream!

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that Zumi and I will be on stream in approximately 25 minutes to talk about the development of Rejuv 13.5! There will also be a live Q/A if you guys are interested in that!

https://twitch.tv/honnojis

It'll last around 2 hours and 30 minutes. So if you can't join right away that's fine. Also, I b...

v14 Part 1 Internal Testing Report.

hey.

So, last week I said that Part 1's done, right? right.
This week, I was out of town for a lil and was working on part 2, but during that part 2 I hosted a testing session for part 1! (Side note, I went to go see a live orchestra of avatar the last airbender in philly and it was AMAZING!! My first concert too. Great stuff, great stuff.)

Everything went exceptionally well! Except for one part where an event just broke for no reason and despite it working on my end -ON OTHER ...

Progress Report #5 | 10/4/2024

hey, so part 1's done. completely done. Like, it's not tested yet, but it's DONE. i can't believe it. 1/3 finally complete. Part 1 is such a doozy. I can't wait for you all to see it. That being said, we're back to the progress reports!!

I've been on that Rejuv GRIND. My friends haven't heard or seen from me in weeks. I've been in my room cooking at temperatures never seen before......... Oogoogogogogogogogog. I know I'm destined to burn out again eventually, but for now im taking adv...

Small General Update! Part 1 Progress

heya! I'm back from my grueling tales of Moving(tm) my brother to his new apartment. In doing so I finally have my own gosh dang room. My old room was -basically- mine, as he was never in there or home, but it had to stay that way in case he ever needed it. Now he never needs it! So now this room just becomes all mine! aw yeah.

Anyway, notice how this isn't a progress report? well it's on hold again because i honestly got really bored of working on part 2. Not that the part is boring-- ...

Progress Report #4.....5? | 8/23/2024

Weird title, I know.

I didn't get much done this week either, quite frankly-- I had to deal with family visiting and all the sort. It's been a stressful week!!!
Y'know, when I made the 6 week plan, I forgot what month was coming up-- August. The month where a bunch of things happen irl and I have no control over them lol.

I may have to put the plan on hold for a little while as I'll be traveling and dealing with more family visiting. I say dealing, but it's not like they're a ...

10 Years

10 Years baby!! I did not expect this to be going on for 1 year let alone 10 LMAO. But something about this game keeps bringing me back. I mean, I wouldn't be making it if I wasn't having fun with it!

This won't be a progress report post as I've done nothing of note this week. I guess the vacation I expected to have last week came a little late. Well, that's fine. I can dedicate this post to Rejuv on a whole.

Rejuvenation's Beginnings:
How did Rejuv start? Well, it all started...

Progress Report #4 | 8/8/2024

hey.... I keep saying it every week, but damn it's friday again, I guess? What week is this? 4? I'm pretty sure this is 4. I said I might have taken a break this week due to vacation stuff, but that actually didn't happen because we got completely rained out by a hurricane lol. So, this week will be like any other week, I suppose...

Well, silver lining is that I got a LOOOOOOT done. But there's still so much to do... Unfortunately, that a "lot done" stuff was like... in one segment. jaj...

Progress Report #3 | 8/2/2024

ANOTHER WEEK? WHAT....

Gonna be honest... I was DEAD this week. I didn't get much done at all.
I've been a tired boi and I kinda needed the rest...
But I guess a milestone for me is that I finished all the maps for this segment!
Visually, that is. I did not finish eventing.
