I Haven't Fainted Just Yet!

Yo. So it's not fair of me to keep you all in the dark, and for that I apologize. around November I had decided that interest was low enough that I took a break.

... And then I never quite un-took said break. Anyways things are slowing down in Conway's Game of Life, and I have full intentions to start working on Pigment Ruby some more. I still have everything ready and waiting to go, so after I get my bearings and remember what exactly I was working on last, I'll release a new update.

Again, I want to apologize to everyone that I left hanging and thank you and anyone who has played Pigment Ruby.

Progress Update

So now that I've got the music stuff figured out, Im still deciding on what tracks should go where. Besides that, I plan to have some custom credits, a secret battle with a certain familial member, and some other touch ups. Oh and some more sprites of course.

Now now, I wasnt gonna leave you guys empty handed. Here's a 3D rendering of Moxie

Ladies and Gentleman, We Have Sound!

It took quite awhile, but after scouring the interwebs, and a lot of trial and error, Ive figured out how to get custom music into the ROM! So, like, expect that in the next update. Okay that's pretty much it. How's everyone enjoying the game so far?

Behind the Scenes - Joule

So when replacing the Male members of the Hoenn League, I thought it would be fun to include some original characters instead of bringing in characters from other games. Here's a little bit of background info for how I went about designing them!

So after I finished up Ellianna, I made sure that I had 1: A general idea of what the character was about and 2: Knew ahead of time which Leader I was replacing. This made things A LOT easier. So for Joule I decided to have her replace Wattson. Joule's name is of course a reference to the Energy Measurement by the SAME NAME.

Anyways, while Joule is obviously very different from Wattson, I wanted to keep certain things familiar. As Wattson was the oldest Gym Leader, I made a point of referencing Joule's apparent age within the dialogue. While designing her, she started to take a dominatrix-esque look that I wasn't planning on. I decided to keep this and work her to be somewhat of a Sadist, which is also referenced lightly within the game.

That's about it this time around, hope everyone is enjoying the game so far!

BONUS: Here's a 3D rendering of Joule that I threw together in my free time

Pigment Ruby V1 Now Available!

That's right! It's been a long road. For me anyways, this is probably the first time you even heard of Pigment Ruby. Ah well, that doesnt matter. Head on over to the Downloads page to start your quest to be the very best!

Although far from finished, I think Ive gotten to the point where I could make it publicly available. That said, be sure to check back at this here site for any new updates.

Right now my main TODO list is:

- Overworld Sprites

- Finish the rest of the Battle Sprites

- Some more story /dialogue changes

- Finish up the last elite four member (Drake stuck around for this version)

Happy Pokemon...ing!

PS: A huge shoutout to my bug-testers! If I had to continuously run through the game by myself I wouldve quit a long time ago
