By Tori in the hack-jam-progress channel

It is with a heavy heart that I am deciding to bow out of Hack Jam 3, Various Viewpoints. Several obstacles have kept me from developing it fully, mainly how big in scope it was for a one person team. As much as i'd like to say otherwise, I’m a human being with human limitations. A part of me has been humbled by this experience, as I tried to make the hack my priority (even over school) but…still came up short, haha. But I’ve learned a lot!

As stated previously, the custom portrait and sprite assets I’ve created will be uploaded to the spritebot following the judging period. The hack itself, “Special Episode - Once in a Blue Moon,” will be made available at a later date. I can't give an exact estimate however since this project will now be going on the back burner. I’ve stated before that these characters have a lot of sentimental value to me, and as such I want to give them the proper time they deserve.

Good luck to everyone who is participating! 💙

Hi! If there's any native japenese speaker on this server who would like to help out getting the japenese version of EoS working with SkyTemple, please ping me in #skytemple :
I need help with categorizing all of the “Text Strings” in the japenese version into the categories you see in SkyTemple; see below (some of them are needed for SkyTemple to even function).

Implemented starter eggmoves for the whole roster in Alpha 2.0. Huge thanks to Irdkwia's ASM folder, which gave me the base to do that implementation for myself 👀
Thanks to SuperLeaf3 for opening a thread earlier this day, it gave me the motivation to pull this off haha

And in case you are sceptical, here's an example of a starter movepool (here, Alolan-Vulpix)

And the patch used to do this can be found here : https://discord.com/channels/710190644152369162/799584781225820210/967108558309167184

Added some convenient settings, packaged some mods with the game, made editing textures easier, now with a tutorial!

this mod makes all the dungeons behave like the later ingame ones by showing enemies in the map only when you are in the room with them and items when you have discovered them

Hello everyone,
I made a new website for PMD Collab. The goal was to have a better version than the actual one.
The main advantage compared to the actual one is the sprite animations display.
Every assets directly comes from the sprite collab github repository.
I hope you guys will like it. For now its only deployed on my personnal account.

https://keldaan-ag.github.io/PMD-collab-wiki/

I (marius) also made a version of it for NotSpriteCollab. It can be found at hacknews.pmdcollab.org/notspritecollab.

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.)
