Pokémon Entrancing Wishes: Community Update – Slow but Steady Progress + Player's Power System


  1. Hey Trainers!

    First off, a huge thank you for your patience! With real-life stuff like school and the impact of the Helene hurricane (and hopefully Milton won't push it even further away), testing has been slower than expected. But rest assured, we're fully committed to making sure the game is properly tested and patched before we release it. In the meantime, here’s a showcase of some exciting features we’ve been working on!

    Player’s Power – A Refresher!

    Some posts ago, I talked about the Player’s Power mechanic. Let’s go over how it works again for those who missed it! Player’s Power gives you the ability to affect the game world in various ways, as long as you’ve collected enough PP points. You gain PP by hypnotizing people, and once you have enough to unlock at least one option, a menu will appear with all the potential choices available (even those you can’t yet afford) you can also always choose to cancel which will lead to the same path as not using your power at all. If you don’t have enough PP to use any options, you’ll just get a small comment hinting that you could’ve used your power there. This keeps you aware of possible interactions without penalizing you too much.

    #### The 4 Powers You Can Use:
    1. Trick – Boosts your charisma, allowing you to convince others of your lies. This is a single-target ability.
    2. Teleport – Allows you and things on you to teleport a short distance away.
    3. Telekinesis – A weak but precise ability. Think lockpicking or small object manipulation rather than breaking doors with force.
    4. Grudge – Amplifies someone's emotions or feelings. The only requirement is that you must have recently heard their voice. This is a single-target ability.
    We’re still testing this system and are excited to hear your feedback!



    2. Looking Ahead – Discord Server & More!

    We’re also planning to create a Discord server for more open communication about the game’s progress, as well as to provide a space for modding help, donations, and open testing. However, we have a small problem... None of us have experience in building or moderating Discord servers! So, we’re looking for volunteers to help us create and manage the server. We don’t expect it to be huge, but we still want to ensure it’s well-organized and moderated properly.

    Also, We Need a Proofreader!
    On a related note, because English isn’t my first language and real life has been busy, we’re also looking for a proofreader to help polish the game’s text. If you’re good with grammar and love Pokémon, we’d love to have you on board!

    Interested in Helping?
    If any of these positions—Discord Moderator or Proofreader—sound like something you'd be interested in, send me a PM! I’ll respond by Friday (PS you need to have/get discord or GitHub to be able to work on the project). Until next time, we hope you have a fantastic week! Thank you all for sticking with us, and we can’t wait to share more soon.

    Cheers,
    The Pokémon Entrancing Wishes Team
