Update #3 - Gearing up for Adventure!
🕑 Added 2019-07-30 20:45:53 +0000 UTCTime for this week's update!
Regarding Mega Moemon...
First off, the poll will be up today for Tier 2 Patrons and above! I need you all to decide which Mega Moemons I'll prioritize. The first four options will be Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Mega Blastoise. More details to follow in the poll itself in a little bit!
Regarding Early-Access Cards...
Tomorrow, Sandshrew / Sandslash will be the last immediate public-release cards I do, as pledges should be fulfilled by the 1st, and we're ready to kick off this show. Starting this Thursday, Tier 3+ Patrons will have access to all Moemon cards 1-week early. The only exception to this, I'm currently thinking, are Trainers, but only for this month. After next month, Trainers will be 1-week early as well. Also, Legendaries are sort of an exception, as all Patrons receive them potentially months before public release.
Regarding Trainer Cards...
As mentioned above, next month I'll begin releasing Trainer cards. The picture above is a preview - they technically aren't finished yet, and I'm not super satisfied with Red yet (but Blue looks fantastic). There'll be more details soon, but for now just keep an eye out!
Regarding Scenes...
Speaking of which, I've added a new reward for Tier 3 Patrons! As shown above, I'm working on releasing scenes of iconic locations in the Pokemon games, starting with the famous Professor Oak's Lab. These scenes take quite some time to do, however. Oak's Lab has taken me about 2 hours to do, and it's barely 50% complete! There's also some bugs that need to be ironed out (reloading the scene causes certain objects to be missing or replaced with other objects), which may require me to update to R9, but.. either way, there's no set schedule release date for these yet, but pretty much once it's ready, it'll be posted here!
Regarding some Behind-the-Scenes work...
If it feels like it's been a tiny bit quiet here, it's mainly because I've been doing a ton of behind-the-scenes work, mostly preparing for next month, which I'm really excited for as I can't wait to release this new batch of Moemon I've been working on! But aside from that, I also need to update (as mentioned above) to Better Repack R9, but I'm not particularly looking forward to that, as it would disrupt the release schedule in the event something goes wrong. I also need to buy a new SSD, which should speed up load times with Koikatsu, and thus speed up the creation of new Moemon cards!
Regarding the Moemon Release Schedule...
It's Nido-Weekend! This weekend will feature the Nidoran families, and a decision was made regarding the male-only Nidoking line. I decided to simply make them female - the main reason why is for consistency. I'm turning most male trainers/gym leaders into females, so this pattern should follow for the male-only Pokemon. After all, this is Moemon. And also because I really want to do a female Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and did you know they are Male only in the Pokemon games? I never knew this, since your main experience with them is in Gen 1, where there were no genders (not until Gen 2, and by then no one bothered to level Tyrogue.. well I didn't!). But, if this decision is disagreeable, I could potentially make male versions of them. Eventually.
Anyways, here's the schedule!
Wednesday: Sandshrew/Sandslash (Public Release)
Friday: Nidoran / Nidoran
Saturday: Nidorina / Nidorino
Sunday: Nidoqueen / Nidoking
See you next Tuesday!
