Hello and welcome to the world of Pokémon Insurgence.

https://p-insurgence.com/

I am aware some of you have played Pokémon Omicron and Zeta, but what if the same team worked on an even better game? What if that game was better constructed, had less fakemon, and the story wasn't half-troll half-serious? Well that is Pokémon Insurgence.

Features
-All Pokémon from Red and Blue all the way to Black 2 / White 2. Sorry Sun and Moon lovers but the Devs spoke.
-HM Items: Don't want to cart around HM slaves? No more!
-Trade Pokémon can be evolved without trading.
-Delta Pokémon: Their appearance, types, and moves are rearranged making them a familiar yet different beast altogether.
-New Megas
-Don't want Non-official Mega Pokémon OR Deltas?: There is an option for fidelity that will avoid them.
-Online Features: Mystery Gifts, Trading, Wonder trade, Battling, Friend Safari
-Challenge Runs: Nuzlock, Randomized mode, Egg Mode (instead of catching and using pokemon, you replace them with random eggs), and more
-Difficulty Modes: The game is tougher than typical Pokémon games but rest easy there are three difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

Want extra pokemon for your start?

I can obtain any pokemon, MOST with any ability you wish, and trade it to you at level 1 or higher if you so need.

I cannot trade Delta Pokémon yet. I'll edit and post when I can.

Don't feel guilty about asking for your favorites, as great as Pokémon Insurgence is, it can hold off on pokemon far longer than it would have been useful to.

It is annoying but I cannot seem to find a solution to this... MOST of the advice I can find are for when a mouse permanently switches the buttons.

Edit: I miiiight have fixed it...

Edit edit: Nevermind the problem comes back...

I am kind of wondering in this case. Since what a lot of companies do to justify even the worst DLC is that "Well, people bought it, thus they are happy with it!"

Not to mention that the gaming community in BAY12 games is openly hostile towards people who have a "Complete" mentality and consider them insane and crazy (no really! if you ever bought something in order to have a complete experience. Bay12 doesn't like you!)

So much so that if that is your viewpoint, it is a good idea not to share it out loud here.

Hello I am Neonivek and I am currently wishing to do a play by post oneshot of “Dusk City Outlaws”.

4-5 players is my ultimate goal.

What is Dusk City Outlaws?

The game is a currently in development pen and paper RPG mostly focused around pick up and go gameplay. The rules are somewhat light and streamlined, somewhat excellent for this play by post format. Abilities and knowledge tend to also be absolute but you do have a set of skills ontop of those that do need rolls. What do I mean by absolute? An Alchemist doesn't need a roll to make an alchemical object, it is an innate ability.

You play as a team of thieves and mafiosos attempting to pull off stunning heists. You each have your own specialty and are members of individual cartels. You need to find information, gather resources, remove targets, all so you will be able to pull off the final heist. Yet beware because if you are loud and sloppy people are going to catch on and might put barriers in the way to stop you.

How do I make a character?

You need to come up with a name and a suitable story, you don't have to be too deep or detailed but a clear motivation for why you commit the crimes you do (even if it is just for the thrills) would go a long way.

You also need to come up with your specialization, this determines your abilities, starting equipment, and skills. You also need to chose your Cartel which comes with an ability, what you know, as well as giving you access to special favors linked to each Cartel.

Regardless of what you chose. You start with 100 luck and 1 Influence

What are the Specializations?

If anyone would like a more indepth look at any of these feel free to PM. I don't know how much I can share so for now these descriptions shall be it.

-The Alchemist: You can create alchemical compounds, objects and devices.
-The Assassin: A Hitman specialized in killing people violently but more important silently.
-The Boss: With a team of minions in toe you inspire your team members to greatness
-The Brawler: A Thug or warrior, but who couldn't use a bit of muscle?
-The Grifter: Master of Disguise and stealer of hearts.
-The Thief: A Pickpocket but also one who has mastered the rooftops.
-The Beguiler (Mummers only): An illusionist who can create vivid and dangerous visions
-The Magus (Circle Only): The minds of your enemies are your to play with.

What are the Cartels?

For their abilities, feel free to PM me.

The Wardens are not available.
The Forgotten are not available.
-Both of these will become available once the Beta gets to that point.

How will this game go?

The Day and Night Cycle is split into two phases: The Planning phase and the Legwork phase. Each day consists of two sets of these.

During the Planning Phase I will give you, I believe three days to figure out what each of you wants to do during the Legwork phase. Even though every person will have their own activity, you may, however, also plan to join anyone's legwork scene if you think you can contribute, even if that means you are in every legwork scene.

Some characters have abilities that can only be used during the Legwork phase.

Legwork will hopefully go at a decent pace but I would wish for it to take 3 days or sooner to finish a legwork as well. Rolls are percentile but you can also spend luck, after you roll, to guarantee a success.

What is Influence?

Influence represent resource and favor. Your Cartel have a number of specific favors to outline their abilities but you can also use it in the way an exorbitant amount of wealth could. It can also be used safely remove obsticles without complication.

One Shot What?

I am running a Adventure Path already created for the game so get a hang of it.

Does this sound like a good idea so far? have any additional questions?

Waiting List

Well... I know I am overly sensitive, I am someone easy to made sad, angry, or what have you and I take criticism too close to home...

But I also seem to get bored quickly and my response to constant stimuli makes me reject it much quicker than most people. I've been known to get bored of things a few minutes after starting or even before doing so.

As well... If I feel anything close to a strong emotion it not only affects me profoundly physically (to the point where it is almost panic inducing) but it often will shift my emotions down to depression, lethargy, or sadness hard.

I wonder if anything is wrong with me or if this is typical depression stuff...

Ok so you wake up one day and are given a box.

Inside this box is the cure for cancer. You have enough doses for a thousand people... and there is a series of books inside this box that teach you how to make and produce it inexpensively. Though they are written in a very thick scientific and medical jargon making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to read.

As well the cure is a magic bullet having absolutely no downsides and curing relatively quickly.

For the sake of this hypothetical... For whatever reason you KNOW the above information to be true.

So how do you manage to get this cure on the market as soon as possible using ONLY the resources you have right now at your disposal.

Ok so we have Early Access right now.

In theory early access is a bonus for people who buy the game early because they can experience the game as it is being developed, they can also essentially alpha-beta test the game and often have an impact on development as well.

A lot of the time though Early Access is either an attempt by developers to get people to buy an unfinished game... OR a defense mechanism because they believe that Early Access is unreviewable as "Hey, we are in early access! don't judge us" (There are even finished games that stay in Early Access for just this reason).
-I laugh that the whole "You can't review Early Access" has entirely blew up in people's faces as yes... the gaming world caught on... forcing people to actually HAVE to review Early Access games. Ha ha ha!

Yet I am not talking about either of those situations I am talking about the "Eternal Beta" or "Eternal Early Access" games. Games without a real intended stopping point that want to update the game continuously, along with the freedom to do so, without ever really reaching a finished point (or at least until they get bored).

Yet these still go by Early Access which implies a end point. Your not having "Early Access" because by all intents and purposes the game has no end and thus you are no more "Early" then anything else (One cannot be early for an appointment that has to set time).

Mind you this ultimately won't work because they don't want the Early Access stamp for accuracy. So even if they did have a new title like "Flexible Development" or something like that. They wouldn't use it. In fact I'd go as far as say most eternal Betas wouldn't even admit they are eternal betas.

Should we have a new system for Eternal EA games?

---

Personally and I know how people will disagree with me... but I don't like Eternal Beta games. They are a lousy excuse...

"Ohh but they are always changing the game!" Who ever said you couldn't add on and change a finished game?

Eternal Beta games often just end up broken messes that are missing vital features... And they will never EVER add those vital features because those are hard work.

It is kind of the thing about Eternal Betas... They are eternal because they add fluff and superfluous systems, while the required core gameplay rots.

Because some people don't want negativity in the No Man's Sky thread... I am just doing the poll here.

Who here would refund their No Man's Sky? Or would if they bought it.
