VPMAGG: Sage Wiki:
http://capx.wikia.com/wiki/CAPX_Wiki Sagedown Server: viipiidotcrabdancedotcom (With new and improved WORKING teambuilder!)
Quick FAQ:
Q: When’s the next demo?
A: Soon. We don’t give out deadline dates.
Q: Where’s the fairies and the megas?
A: Not in the game.
Q: Can we change x-Pokemon’s design?
A: No.
Q: Can we talk about Sage Gen 2?
A: No.
Q: Why don’t you let anyone into your secret club? Why did you steal the game from /vp/?
A: Post a skype name to get added to the chats. It’s that easy.
We’re back again with all of these
past few months’ updates from Project VPMAGG aka Pokemon Sage! For those that have missed out on the previous threads, the idea behind Sage Sunday is to give proper updates to the anons who worked on the game or were interested in playing the game by releasing weekly threads that showcase all the development for the game in the previous week and by taking feedback, criticism, suggestions and questions from the community. Here’s what’s on the slate for this week:
Alright, so we’ve decided there’s finally at least enough done to warrant a REAL Sage Sunday thread. Hopefully one with minimal shitposting and maximum
funposting . I’m going to do something a little differently this time and see if you guys like it more than how the information is normally presented. I have a dropbox (FIND IT HERE:
http://pastebin.com/4kFAwhkx ) prepared that shows the current stage of development every map is in, with links to the completed ones. Then, I’ll post some art and music and stick around to answer any questions.

here's how ETL turned out in the first survey. she's currently undergoing minor designs right now, so none of the minor design elements (color schemes, clothing, hair styles, etc) are confirmed.

But again, since they were swimtatorshipped out of 2.0 we'll have to figure out some kind of unlock point later in progression and halt development on another part of the game in order to go back and finish this at some point in the future.

Well, here's an idea for a gate, have two hobos fighting over a pawt dog or a snome cone and they block the entrance. Make it a meta reference to how the dumbest things can halt development.

I was actually the artist who drew up Squink and Squidrift and I can confirm that the two were initially designed not to be under water mons. I dont know exactly if they kept with that idea, but considering there seems to be argument about it, could potentially be the case.
Either way, im really glad to see this thread pop up every so often. I haven't followed Sage much since the designing process finished. Its too bad it will take so long to finish.

And yes. Turns out, making a game mostly from scratch with an unpaid team of people who are either full time in college or work full time is more difficult than it sounds. But we've streamlined a lot of things, so the process is growing exponentially smoother. We'll probably be able to churn out the same amount of content that will be in 2.0 in half the time.

Nice MC Escher stairs. Really, the perspective of everything left of the pokemon centre makes no sense.
Where's the healing machine? Did you replace it with that PC tower? I can imagine programming a new animation thingy for this one place will be a blast. Does the Nurse Joy NPC have a sprite for turning to face directly away from you?
TV looks kinda stupid way up at the edge of the blackness. Aren't you usually supposed to be able to interact with TVs? Likewise, the item shelves shoved right into the bottom of the map look stupid. Seeing outside looks good though. is that accurate to the outside map? Where does that door go to? Is it the right size compared to all the other doors in the OW?
A bunch of sprites look unfinished with parts that have no outline. Like the back wall panel's left and right sides, the top set of stairs at the bottom and top, the tables and chairs without outlines at the bottom of the legs, the map border without an outline on the outside or where it ends at the entrance to the map, etc.

>>26974071 You should keep that in mind for the live action stage play rendition of the game. NPCs in pokemon games don't ever user their arms like that. The ones that do in this game are important NPCs like gym leaders, bosses or Pokeman, who all do if once then return to their normal shapes. It would be incongruous to have a random unimportant NPC do it. Compare this to A. All other mart shopkeepers and B. The Black Belt NPC in downward cave that is supposedly punching a rock but we purposefully chose to show by having him walk at it.

The pounther pokemon line is phobic of concept art. It originated as a single mon with a single sprite. That pokemon's name was Kitling, a tan-yellow saber toothed tiger. "Wait, what?" you might ask. Don't question the name first of all, the name Pounther is a whole other story. But, the design's progression is more straightforward than I might be implying. A sprite for Pounther was born and it was followed with a sprite for Jaguile as an evolution. The sprite for Pounther was redrawn with an icy flavour for the first design of Cubzero. Then, another cat line's starter was cannabalized and remade into Pounther. Maybe that's not so straightfoward... Long after Jaguile's sprite original was replaced with "proper" concept art it would come back time and time again to haunt it. As people know Jaguile by the sprite more intimately than its concept art, its "actual" design has existed in limbo somewhere between these two warring alternatives for years.

>>26975981 Sure thing anonymous trainer! The gurren laggann driller bird trio originated as a single sprite for Harpee as a single lone pokemon. It was given an evolution known as Aquilor, also in sprite form then a third and final evo in the form of Warquila. The pictured images are not the original designs of all three but are important in a different way. Besides acting as the final design for Harpee and Aquilor, the exact silhouette of this concept art for this trio was copied to create Turkistador's trio.

>>26976038 Last lesson for today. Aguade, Iguadium and Aguanaut all had a very unique path into the dex. Aguade was one of the earliest designed pokemon and endured almost no change through the whole process. Aguanaut on the other hand suffered a design hell almost unparalleled in the whole dex, being one of the very last finished designs. From wholly quadrupedal carnivorous rippers, to full out luchador muscle-men, to Godzilla spawn and back again. What is pictured here is only one of literally hundreds of variations on Aguanaut. Iguadium went through a small handful of design changes but was never the focus. Instead it would be updated occasionally as an intermediary whenever its two brethren seemed to stabilize for the moment.

I think he's referring to the fact that, up until today, every time anyone has asked about Skype they've been told that they HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE in order to get added. Sure a lot of people joined and afterwards didn't contribute and never got tossed, but the rhetoric has still been 'you can only join if you contribute'.

>>26982462 well we can't force everyone to be able to stay and contribute. If someone just stops participating and leaves, that's on them.
We just ask that if you want in, that you can contribute in some way that's not just vague ideas and criticism, because everyone can do that.
Whether it's an artistic skill like graphics or music, or in depth tweaking of game mechanics like distros and stats, we just want you to be able to do SOMETHING.
It's basically the easiest job interview ever. The requirements are rock bottom.
If you seriously can't find any way you want to contribute outside of being an idea guy, game development isn't for you and you should stick to watching from the outside.
