Konnichiwa Desu-sans!

Happy 2025! Did you know if you make a bunch of spoilers then they spoil things if you share them? That’s right! I have been hard at work screwing through code that I often haven’t fully understood in addition to cobbling and editing together random images and sounds from the deepest crannies of the internets to ensure the most insane Pokémon experience! And I can’t show you 90% of it. Except for this. 

...And then I guess there's also this: 

That's Cerulean! And you may notice it looks terrible! That's because I just started on it and haven't gotten away from the vanilla map in Fire Red/Leaf Green/Wet Blue! But it indicates an important thing- I'm now working on Misty-land!

Now, some of you may think: Hey, you’re at Cerulean. That means the game is almost done, right? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Very much like in real life, you cannot just walk up to a girl and talk to her. But it does signify that this game has passed the 50% completion mark (including the demo), which means we’re on the downslope. Admittedly, we're slightly behind my initial estimated schedule by a few weeks (Christmas is not good for dev) but I'm still making good progress towards a 26-month completion goal.

Anyway, I would just like to thank everyone once again for your support with the demo. It's been 3.5 months since the last update, which were a bit rough at points personally but have now balanced out quite nicely. That said, it was refreshing during this time just to see that something I had done was bringing happiness to many different people. So thank you all for receiving this so well and I hope I can continue to make you laugh with the final product.
