===== PMD 99 development resumed =====
//By Daniel (was PikaNiko) on the SkyTemple Discord server//
PMD 99 development is resumed!
First dungeon "Beach Cave" will be changed to "Beach Abyss". It has 99 floors and you will encounter all types of traps in the dungeon! Also, there is 0.01% that you encounter a level 100 Pokémon in the dungeon! Even more, the starter Pokémon will be changed to level 1 every time you enter the dungeon. To make the difficulty of the game even unbalanced, the Pokémon you encounter will be in its final evolution form!
Don't worry, there are more items in the dungeon that can help you go through this scary 99 floors dungeon.
:dalga:

The patching process is exactly the same as the original Skies
Just apply it the the **Xenophobia** ROM of Explorers of Sky
But that's not all!
I present the next version of my EoS translation Tool!

===== New Community Assets =====
==== Pokémon ====
Animated sprites in this section are animated PNG files. If animated sprites appear to be static images, make sure that your browser supports PNG animation. (Most modern browsers should display them just fine, though.)

====== About this newsletter ======
===== 1 year of the newsletter =====
It's now been a year since I wrote the first article for this newsletter. And... I don't know what to write about it (figured this just before sharing it Reddit and the SkyTemple Discord server).
I'll just write a short history of this newsletter :
I had this idea for some time before I started it. The first letter I wrote weren't shared much, it was more of a test. Then, I published a link to every new letter in the announcements channel of the SkyTemple Discord server (and still does to this day) (and don't forget I also share this on Reddit). I first shared it hosting it on a github repository, but then moved to a self-hosted website based on pelican. I then migrated to instead using a dynamically generated website, using dokuwiki (the current iteration of the site, and hopefully the last).
During that time, I set up a program to generate a changelog of sprites and portraits of SpriteCollab, have a lot of enhancement to the presentation (a lot of them thanks to Aviivix, who proofread some of the letters), and added some pages, included an all new hack archive (also being dynamically generated).
I hope this newsletter were useful for you. As usual, if you have any comment, contact me.
Also, I had a nice little idea of a new page on this wiki. I'll share more detail the next week once I would have did some more testing with this.
Finally, I've enabled anonymous editing, but you can still create an account to ease tracking of who did what.
Have a nice day -- marius851000
