Ahhhhhh yis!

So the wonderful Frostspike has reached from the bowels of the Shadowlands of lurkers to give us a much needed hand and guidance, offering to share their knowledge and experience with Val. Only two days in and we're already seeing a lot more potential and productivity. We don't want to get any hopes...

It's going Slow, bro.

Yes, that was a Pokemorph pun. We've been quiet because we don't have much to show or tell just yet. Engine report: Val is still working on the battle system as well as getting the menus to function properly. It's been a painfully slow process since he is learning GameMaker himself with only ba...

Lore Discussion Live Stream!

We're going to have a little live stream about some Pokemorph lore on Tuesday, February 13th at 8:30pm est and expect it to run roughly 2 hours. We won't be going over any gameplay or the engine. It'll just be a fun, informative chat about the pokemorph virus, it's effects on the pokemon and the wor...

Just Chillin'.....Cause it's cold out.

Apologies for the lack of information so far. Seems the team has been ran over by the holiday blues so everything has slowed to a crawl for us. We're going to ease up a bit for the rest of the month and give the team a small, much needed break and pick up the pace once we get our second. We're still...

Live Stream Q&A

We're going to be hosting a live stream Q&A on Saturday November 11th at 6:30pm US-est. We'll be hanging around for 2-3 hours to answer any questions that the fanbase may have about the game, upcoming engines, pokemorph lore, whatever you want to ask about! We'll be conducting it through youtube...

Picture Ideas

So, remember earlier in the year when I was looking for Non-gen 1 Pokemon to showcase? Well, time for round 2! I'm looking for a few ideas to make single shots like I did with Yungoos, Dunsparce and Milotic. The whole idea is to make a few more pictures and then another one specifically for advertis...

May the 4th be with you....

In the spirit of National Nerd Day I spent the better part of today whipping this up.  Darth Cosplay Pikachu vs ObiKachu...or something like that.

Bad News and Somewhat Goodish News

Bad news first.

As of May 2nd, Avian, our primary scene artist has resigned from the team due to other commitments keeping him away. We are working to fill his spot as quickly as we can. White and I will try to pick up the slack but I'm terrible at scenes and life has been keeping White...

Riding a Rollercoaster

Unfotunately, progress has slows again. It seems that the team cannot find a consistent rhythm right now. Progress comes in random bursts and is not a steady stream of work, despite all efforts of trying to make it so. 

However, we're trying to reach an early stopping point where we can do an...

No Valentine Picture!

Booo! Yes, I know. We suck. 

If I would have thought about it, we would have made something special for V-Day but when I wasn't busy at work I was suffering through sickness on my couch...so no pictures. Most of the team is pretty much in the same boat right now.

However, I would like t...

Brief Update

Avian's computer is fixed, work settled down for me and everything is slowly falling back in to place. We're still waiting on a few more things but we're getting back to finishing up the art work.

Also, still trying to figure out which host to use for our site as well or develop a dropbox tier sys...

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things....Pt 2

When it rains, it pours.

We know everyone was eagerly anticipating the next chapter and we apologize, one again, for the delay. We cannot begin to apologize enough for the delay. We've been met with cascading series of events that have postponed the game's release even more.

My jo...

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

So...it turns out that the re-release unloaded a lot of serious bugs on the game and we have no idea why they popped up. Most of our time has been spent playing exterminator and getting rid of them. It has knocked us off schedule a bit but we're working on it! New ETA is to be determined. We sincere...

New Title Screen

Here's a peek at the new title screen, pre-release and pre-editing/polishing. Uncensored version will be posted in the thread in the LoK forums. Hopefully we can find someone to crack the Flash code and fix this for us.

Oops, I did it again....

Believe it or not....DG did it again. I forgot to hit the record button after opening the menu on my art program. So, once again, no tutorial to show but another picture to present. I decided to add in background this time.

I chose Dunsparce just for the pun. Which didn't work, cause I'm still not...

Made an Oops...but here's a picture!

Over the last few weeks I've talked to many aspiring artists as seasoned ones who wanted to join the team and help out. Unfortunately we're looking for a really specific style of artist. Long story short, I was putting together a time lapse instructional video about how I (Dapper Gent) do the battle...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Here's a early serving for you all to enjoy for the holidays. Don't worry, it's not as...Farfetch'd as you'd think.

Concept: Dapper Gent

Artist: White Vine

A Brief Update

Still working on hammering out the full details for the rewards system. Bear with us while we get it all sorted out.

We're looking to expand a bit, maybe get in bed with a freelancer or two who can help with our projects. Please visit our recruitment page on the LoK forums for more details. Th...

It's About Time

We were originally going to wait until we got to at least Saffron before having our patreon page go live but with recent support and requests to support it's about time we actually finish putting our page together and hammer out the final details. During this time we're going re-evaluate the rewards...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Dark Impulses team!
