PD

And mine! Pokemon Chaos Realm, coming soon! 

Time for an update! I'll start off by explaining the server situation. Two weeks ago, I said that the game would be released on Friday and I meant it but my server host had problems and ended up contacting me on the Wednesday of the next week. The day after that, I got my exam results and then was busy on the weekend with celebrations. I then bought a VPS to host the server off but that went down for maintenance and then there were a couple of meetings with school to discuss my future. All in all, I have dropped out of school to pursue a game development course which is a 'do it yourself at home' kinda course and so I will have plenty of time to get things rolling. My VPS is back up from maintenance and the server will be going up in a couple of days with the game being released on or before Sunday. The game WILL be released this week in whatever state it is in. You may notice some changes to the site, the most evident one being the blue box at the top that will contain the server status and which will be used to post update messages that don't require a whole topic, so keep an eye on it. I had planned on a site redesign but I've put that on hold and will leave things as they are, for now. I have a few ideas in mind that I will pursue and the site should be seeing a rise in content mainly with content for Pokemon Chaos Realm but that will not be the only game on this site. I'm currently working on a couple of projects but they will be kept under wraps for now and the focus will be on Pokemon Chaos Realm. So, get ready cause PCR is on its way and I mean it, this time!

Lol, good on you for saving it :P

@JeffSventora: > Whoa, I think that looks fantastic. Not really sure what's going on with all the blue but it looks good to me Especially if you pixeled it! Aha, same here, looks funny but good :P

Aha, same problem here. Started a million projects, only finished a couple. Still working on one and have been ever since I got into game development, 4 years ago :P The last 2 years have been hellish in terms of my programming, no motivation or desire to do anything. There were moments when I got my motivation back but that didn't last long. I'm still suprised that I'm still at it, working on Pokemon Chaos Realm :P But I don't regret the last 4 years as they have helped me learn a lot, so I say, take the plunge and hopefully you'll swim back up for air :P

Overall, that's pretty good however like with all things, there are improvements that can be made. The more you practice your writing the better it will get, so keep it up :cheesy:

@crzyone9584: > i be on vaca in two days…. people will have a jump start on me lol Aha, don't worry, you'll catch up :P

@crzyone9584: > ducking a man if i have to wait any longer im gonna tell you to send me the damn ducking server to host it…. Lol, I've got myself a VPS server so don't worry, I'm just working on something, two more days, hold it! :P

@General: > If i had the opportunity to go to space, and knew i wasn't going to make it back to earth alive. I would go anyway. Same here, who would pass up a chance of going to Mars?

Aha, pretty good, prefer the original over the remix :P

@Toxicity: > I'm getting IMPATIENT. I DEMAND CHAOS REALM. ALL. OF. MY. HATE. > > Just kidding, about the rude parts anyway. Looking forward to this! Back to lurking, for the time being. > > /escapestotheonewaymirrorsoftheboards Aha, well I still haven't recieved word on the server but that does give me more time to work on the game and to add in more goodies :P

@crzy: > YOU LIED TO ME!!! how can i ever trust you again? You can't but your just going to have too :P

@crzy: > you said friday… now its saturday.... where is the game lol Waiting on the server host…:P

So, what kind of game will this be? Yes, the name is a big hint but is there anymore than that? :P

@Eckhart: > http://mars-one.com/en/ > > Thanks for the video, duck yeah NASA Aha, awesome site, thanks :P

Thanks for the video ;D Now, lets build a base on Mars!

@crzy: > if not i will be bored and will have over powered pokemon.. dont forget i want awesome pokemon only available to me as discussed on your siten lol Don't worry, you'll have me to play with and yes, I haven't forgot about our discussion :P Just sent out a few emails to some members of our old forums, hopefully they'll show up again. Got a new member registered on the site and even as it's one person the posts are flying about on the site :D I have a feeling that things will get a little heated in the days leading up to the release. So, tell your family, friends and the world! PCR is going live!

@crzy: > good. in that case i can't wait to play. Hopefully I'll see others online due to being in different time zones an all… Well, the server will be 24/7 and with time hopefully the player base will increase so you can play with others :P

@crzy: > you best not be ducking with me… i will hunt you down... been waiting for this game for how long now???? Ahahaha, don't worry, I'm not ducking with you :P

@crzy: > your backi!!!! yay!!!! Thank you :P @daxterxx: > Yanno, with some better, sprites, graphics, and GUI this could be somthing I would actually play ;) nice job so far! Yanno, the sprites, graphics, and GUI are awesome :P @DeathTheKid: > Zesh is the man, I've got somethin' to contribute to your game ;D pm me. Yes, I am the man :P @Archun: > Cool I'll play it definitely when it comes out… Coolio :P Well, enough of the :P and time for an update! Now, to be honest, PCR has been ready for release for quite sometime now, ever since I had that test, where a lot of bugs were found and fixed. But due to life having other plans for me and my persistence on finishing everything before releasing has meant that PCR has never really seen the light of day. This persistence has kept me locked up in a cycle for 2 years now and so it's time to change. Finally! I've gonna ahead and have looked for a server host and have found a possible host in the form of Ryoku Hasu but due to problems on his end, the server won't go up until Friday of next week but that gives me sometime to put together a game with actual gameplay :cheesy: Here is what you can expect to see in PCR when the server goes live: Battle System * Wild Battles * Attacking * Gaining Exp * Leveling * Evolution * Learning Moves * Switching * Items Pokemon Systems * Starters * Trainer Card * Summary * Storage * Viewing Others' TC & Party Plus a few beggining quests to set the stage for the storyline. I might drop in a few extra goodies but the above is assured!

@ICT: > Whats the watermark in the bottom left? I'm sure that just says 'Chat' :P

Aha, love the big head :P

@jcsnider: > Topic unlocked at the request of Zesh. Welcome back man! Hah, thanks. Congrats on your promotion, I guess I missed a lot :P @flamespeedy: > its dead Nope! I'm just going to foward anyone who cares to my site where I've made a post, explaining my time away. http://sleepyentertainment.co.uk/ If you've read the post then you know what my plan is. I'll be sticking to that plan so you can expect a lot of updates. Time to go into hyper speed, play the Sonic the Hedgehog theme!

@wito35: > Ok thanks Erwin :) If you've reached the limit then your doing something wrong, you don't need that many controls.

@Anosora: > Then what are you doing on this game dev forum? I'm a lazy arse ;)
