Quality Of Life Changes (Plus Pikachu)


Alrighty I am back to fix up the alpha to make the future demo more, attractive, to newcomers! We got a few changes to cover.

  • Fixed a lot of Marnie's dialogue to help her sound more British or Galarian or whatever. (Even fixing up her dialogue there's still things to improve on to make Marnie the girl you know and love.)


  • Added your partner Pokémon, PIKACHU! Overrated in a way I know I know, but comparing to Marnie's Morpeko, I figured having the MC's partner Pokémon a Pikachu is better than any of the gibberish Pokémon (the Pokémon that can't say their own names.) just because of the sole purpose of dialogue. (Seriously how the hell am I supposed to write Honedges cries in text.) Also, the voice lines for Pikachu are easier to find.


  • Polished the music, sound effects, and Pokémon cries so it shouldn't bug out or sound out of place.


  • Adjusted the story a little so it matched the game. (Meaning I had to change some of the dialogue and the story in general to add more characters/features. Fortunately, they are little changes and won't affect the plot as much.

Overall, SUS hasn't really been a long-term project. I haven't even written the climax of the story yet. I just haven't put enough thought into deciding which events trigger what. Visual code studio is kind of messy as a coding tool. At least I know how to decently know how to use it. I'll think hard on how I will take on this project moving forward. My next goal is to try to work on the quality of the story so far.  Something like better quality background, sprites, and the gui. It isn't my main focus at the moment. My time goes into the full demo that I'm writing up. I do have a rough idea on the story, so it doesn't sound dry. I also need to work on adding more dialogue to the main alpha, as it does seem very short. Do expect high amounts of change to the dialogue as I'm pretty picky on that. With all of that out of the way, I would love your feedback so if you do provide some, I would be highly grateful. Hopefully the next update will pump out the room peaking scene which is one of my favorite scenes. Until then, I'll see y'all later! (thanks for the downloads it makes me feel proud of myself)
