Here's an unlisted update for Hallow Earth: Angel Survivor, now as a windows executable!

This version includes some more pre-made levels, tutorials, skill animations, option menu settings and controller support (only tested with Xbox One controller), among loads of tweaks, optimizations and bugfixing.

Do note that the majority of the Racial/Field Skills that are command-based are currently nonfunctional and are still being worked on. This is the last thing I need to work on before I re-release the game to be public again.

Considering I have been working on a Devil Survivor clone for 4+ years now, I should really replay Devil Survivor more often. Just so that I can get a refresher on how certain mechanics work rather than just going off of memory. There are definitely certain key game design choices that I have never really been conscious about until I replay the game again.

#today I booted up DeSu again to see how they handled demon summons/returns after or before using a race skill #I had completely forgotten that you could only use 1 skill per combatant per turn #which is so much more simpler and elegant than the direction I was wandering into #where you could use multiple skills on the map at once and allowance of summons/returns were context dependent #So that changes a lot of things. Glad I caught that before I started working on enemy teams healing each other.#I'll probably put another private update out before the end of march #I was gunning for late may for the public release but I have a pretty decent changelog that I think is worth another update

“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

Didn't realize the link wasn't working right. My bad. Should work correctly now.

If the webpage asks for a password, it's "saturn".
