Progress on Alpha
By Mond in the SkyTemple Discord server
A small peek at the challenge dungeons… and something I haven't mentioned before:
Still plenty of stuff to implement, and the development still follows a slow pace, but hopefully I'll find motivation in pushing the project as far as I wanted 👀
later
Here's a peek at a menu I've added in my game
completely inspired by a project I've been part of named Pokemon Unbound, shotouts to Skeli and the rest of the pals for the ideas
PS: Randomization options are underworks currently, but I'll post about that later 👀
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Origins is out
In the SkyTemple Discord server, by Audino
A PMDCollab project, PMDO stands as the origin point for several other endeavors you see today, including the Spritebot, Sprite Tester, and RogueElements. This is a PMD fangame made on a standalone engine, taking a ground-up approach to combining the essence of Mystery Dungeon style roguelikes with the Pokémon experience. It features a reworked battle system with emphasis on range and positioning, and provides tools for modding.
The demo is now open, exclusively to this discord as an early release!

Announcement of **Four**
Hey all! I don't want to bump PMDO off the bottom but I have something of my own I want to announce. With PMD Retold drawing to a close I’m about to finally start something that I have been planning for a long time, and that is my own playable ROM hack game: Four
As you might expect this will be a story hack rather than a gameplay hack. The hack will be an anthology of four stories, all unconnected to one another. You’ll find the first two scenes of the first story below with the title The Reluctant Riolu.
As part of this launch post signalling the official start of development, I’ll be needing help with the parts of game design that I have little skills in, that being sprite work, portraits, designing a balanced dungeon, etc.
If you think you can help out, I’d love for you to have you on board as a contributor. It’s not going to be a formal creative team and won’t involve a time-consuming commitment. I’m mainly looking for a network of helpers I can call upon when needed.
Expect a few surprises along the way… you may find this game isn't what you think it might be. And don’t worry, I’ll also find time to do the postgame of PMD Retold as well 😉

Community Spotlight
since I last covered them, there were 2 new community spotlight shared on the mystery dungeon reddit
Pokémon Workshop: A community for Pokémon fans to share their art, music and writing!
Topics: Art, Music, Writing, Contests, Collaborative Works, Community
Link: https://discord.gg/pkmnworkshop (Backup Link)
Heya! We're Pokémon Workshop, a Discord community focused on Pokémon and the many fans that make fan works of the series! We encourage any Pokémon fans to join and share their art, music and writing for everyone to see and also make new friends along the way! You'll find a very significant bunch of the server to be avid PMD fans (including myself) and PMD-inspired overall. If you're looking for others to hang out with or looking to find some awesome PMD content in general, please do join us!
Originally started as a humble Pokémon art server in March 2020, PW has steadily been expanding from just art into a strong community of talented and supportive Pokémon fans across all media. In PW you'll find dedicated channel categories for art, music and writing where you can share your work and talk about each of those topics. We also host biweekly contests for each category, with the winners decided by vote. Our contests keep our artists, musicians and writers on their toes with opportunities to make Pokémon-themed works, all in good fun!
Some examples of these contests include:
We also hold collaborative server events!
The server is open to all ends of the Pokémon fandom (we'd absolutely love to have more musicians and writers around!). Even if you don't make any Pokémon related content, you are still just as welcome! Hope to see you there!

@PMDShitpost: i ruin pmd’s reputation on twitter
Topics: Jokes, forced memes, catching people’s attention with low-brow humor so I can retweet fanart that deserves attention
Link: https://twitter.com/PMDShitpost
Have you ever wanted to see jokes about how Grovyle and Dusknoir, two fated rivals…. Might actually be gay? What about posts poking fun about how two characters from PMD – Dusknoir and Grovyle – Could easily be seen as in a homosexual relationship? What about humor revolving around Dusknoir and Grovyle being gay? Well sorry to disappoint but my account has been pretty inactive lately so I probably won’t be posting any of that anytime soon
Hey, I’m ‘that guy’ on twitter. I started this account because I felt like there was a missed opportunity for pmd memes on twitter, and things kind of just went from there. I’m of the belief that regular appearance in the meme space is one of the things that can keep an otherwise stagnant series relevant and keep interest up. It was already a couple years after psmd released when I made the account, so I figured that this was really my only way to contribute to the possibility of more games happening. I’m not going to say if I actually contributed to that happened, but I will say that, quite hilariously, I was once able to outpace Spike Chunsoft in twitter followers so there
I mainly post memes and jokes revolving around the ds and gba games – not because I dislike the newer games, but because I can only make convincing edits with pixels. The 3d is a mystery to me
Jokes are my main thing but I’m always happy to throw some attention onto fan work that deserves it, especially when it comes to fanart. If anything of actual value has come from the account, its that I’ve been able to help some very talented artists that might have otherwise been missed have their work shown to the exact audience that wants it. If you ever have something you’ve worked on with pmd that you feel proud of, tweet it at me. If I think its cool I’ll give it a shout out. Use me as a stepping stone. Its my only true inherit value
I’m much less inactive nowadays than I used to be, but I still do post from time to time. Here are some posts I’ve made that somehow accidentally ended up being funny
