Alright, guys, I have an important announcement.

So, I'm just going to put it shortly. Something big and personal has come up on my end, and I'm not going to be able to work on the game for a little bit…
Not only that, but odds are that I won't even be able to be online for large periods of time… possibly months apart. This is going to last at the very least until Christmas, if not an entire year.

I'm going to see what I can do to stay in touch, or at least still work on bits and pieces of the game, since I don't need internet, and only a working PC with MS Paint, but I can only get done what I already have saved on my list. I should be able to hold out without internet for a while, since I only have about 20/80 of the usermon's sprites done, not to mention I still have the whole game to program.
But… Still… There's still the possibility of there being no contact from me for months at a time, but also the possibility of my checking in every week or so.

I swear… Every KYM-game or project that ever starts to get made, starting with the original KYM RPG, is somehow cursed. It starts off looking great, looking like it's going to be completed, then something comes up, and then the process is halted/discontinued. It's happened to me before, even, for those of you who knew me in my earlier KYM times, I was making a comic with a bunch of my user friends in it, and then, when I went away for a different personal thing, I was at a hotel, and an accident happened to where juice was spilled all over the pages I had for it, making it nearly illegible. The only pages I had saved were older ones that I had scanned beforehand, and had them on my flash drive.
… If history really does have a way of repeating itself, then I pray something like that doesn't happen again.

Don't get me wrong, I really want to do this, since ROM hacking is among my top 7 favorite things to do. I'm backing everything I have so far onto my desktop, and the other files I have on the google doc.
Speaking of, just because I'm going to be away for a while doesn't mean that you guys still can't submit requests. I just won't be able to see them right away, is all. Also, That'sWhyNot, don't stop updating the request doc, as it's much easier to access than going into KYM, searching for the thread and finding the right one, then going to the last page I left off, versus just going onto Google docs, clicking Starred, then having it up there in front of me.

Now, this isn't going to happen until around the rest of this week or 2 weeks from now, so you'll still see me around then, but once it happens, I'll let you know, and that'll be it for a while.

Until then.

Well, I guess this is the sad end to another KYM game.

See you soon Shad, hope you are going to be ok, and hopefully this can be revived.

Is it too late to chip in and ask to get into this project?

Sad end?
If I have to come back to this forum EVERY DAY just to keep it alive, I will.
Shad, I swear upon my honor as a Pokémon Trainer to keep this game alive – you can count on it.
Godspeed, Shadowman, my friend. I won't say goodbye… because I know this isn't really goodbye.

I am just going to pretend it isn't too late to apply to this thing

Tekron, the Crown Pokemon

Type: Steel/Dark
Ability: Iron Barbs
Wanting to be a animator, this pokemon's dreams were crushed when it realized it was just a floating crown

Also random question, what do we have for legendaries (if any), because I MAY happen to have done 2 and posted them on this site because I could, here they are…

Unless we do have some destined legendaries… idk I wasn't going to bother reading through 7 pages worth

Shadow Man wrote:

Well, if you did read the pages, you would know that the legendaries are the mods. And honestly, you should bother to read through the pages… At least reading the ones by me, especially that have a "TL;DR" label on them. Vital information, also included in that is the fact that Iron Barbs is a no-no.

Anyways, I added you to my to-do list.

Also… I know I can't really apply these guys to the game, but I just thought I'd put my little twist on them because I was bored.

Just a daily reminder: Don't be afraid to post art, because I just might be bored enough to redraw it. (coughcoughineedbloodcough)

But yeah.

One last thing… After talking it over with a friend, it's been decided that this person (Who I only have one of their forms done) along with their partner will be making an appearance…
Click the spoiler tag if you dare.

Also, in case you didn't notice, check out the background color I gave her. (Which was actually by coincidence, believe it or not….)

This is the sprite hope it isn't too big because it is the best that I have

Shadow Man wrote:

Whew

Jeez, that is one big sprite. I don't think even if the sprite size limit was the entire gameboy screen it would even fit.

But again, don't worry, it's not mandatory that you provide your own sprite, and only a reference is fine. I can provide a decent sprite just from concept art, and this will do fine.

Some folk are saying they're submissions are absent from the googledoc; not sure why, that thing's been up to speed for about a week.
I have a feeling the issue may be because there are actually two docs:
THIS ONE is a rough list of participants and their sprites (which can be edited exclusively by Mr Shad), and THIS ONE is a more comprehensive catalogue, showing everyone's more finite requests and sprite templates; made and revised by moi.
As usual, if anybody wants their data altered, just let me know and I'll make amends.

@LordTekron I made your ability Rough Skin. It's the same thing as Iron Barbs, only 100% more third gen.

No one knows what lies behind this censor. Could be boobs, weird fetishes, maybe an attack?

I think this works better. Editing text doesn't take too long me thinks.

Since we're adding in more than just Usermons, and there's a lack of Dragon types as far as I can tell, would it be a good suggestion to add…

There's no time cycles in Gen III. He'd have to evolve normally, or at least not from happiness at night, probably from man to dragon-man and then just a dragon.
