Thanks so much for this kind review and your rating! Yeah, I've put way more effort than initially anticipated, haha, but working with and poking fun at things that are dumb is fun and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks once again!

Thank you for the comment! Yeah, the final release of the game will be Android compatible but the demo currently is for Windows only. I'm pretty certain I know what the issue is but it's giant mess to clean up and at present I cannot go back and patch the demo without jeopardizing the finishing the final game because I'm on a tight timeline (and, joiplay may fix the issue in a later patch in the meantime anyway). But, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the final game is indeed Android compatible.

I apologize for the late response! Itch ate this comment up in the filter and I just approved it. 

I personally do not have a Chromebook (yet). So, this is all guessing from my end (so be careful). That said, I found a tutorial that installs RPG Maker XP, through which you can use to play the game. If you open RPG Maker XP and start a new project, you can then close RPG Maker XP and go to your new project's folder. Take the file Game.rxproj in your project and copy-paste it into the Misty Orange game folder. Now, open Game.rxproj directly from the Misty Orange folder and this game should open up in RPG Maker XP. Then, just run Misty Orange from RPG Maker XP directly. 

Here's the guy that has a tutorial on installing RPG Maker on a Chromebook. 

Alternatively, that content creator also has guides for installing other Windows-based software on Chromebook (in his latest videos) that might also work for Misty Orange.

That all said, I'm not familiar with Chromebook, so I'd suggest being careful none-the-less because you don't want to brick anything over a game. But, that's my guess at least? I hope this helps! 

There will be no purchase and I will make no profit ever on this, haha. For estimated timeframe, the goal is April 2027, which is three years from the original demo release date (and just under two and a half years from now). So yeah, it'll be a while. But, it'll be good when it's done. 

The cool matey who made this game told me the final version will be comparable with Android version I'm so glad brah can't wait to play this masterpiece 

Sorry for the delayed reply, but thank you so much for this encouraging comment (and for the review!) 

Thanks so much! I've had nights like that with my friends on other games so I'm glad to know that I've been able to repay the gaming community with similar experiences.

Woah, I was totally unaware of this! Thanks so much for posting it- I had some open time today and ended up binging all of it, haha. It was a wonderful encouragement in a somewhat discouraging week in other life happenings. I especially enjoyed his arc of starting it as a joke but then genuinely loving it. The chat's comments on the songs were also appreciated- I don't make the songs, but I do spend a lot of time curating it, haha. As a side note, I also have to say- I think Tolomeo might be the most skilled Pokémon player I've seen play this- he knows his competitive strats pretty well. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement on my continuing progress to finish this! 

Yes! But it'll be probably a few years, so long as life doesn't explode moreso than normal

Hey, thanks for following up! Quick question: Did you download your version of the demo prior to this Sunday? I believe I patched the low obedience cap in that recent update (and just tried testing it) but if it slipped through the cracks, I definitely want to fix it because I don't want the game to be that frustrating! 

It's there! Open the Options menu after loading a game. Apparently, it doesn't show if you open Options from the start menu though.

That said, I was completely unaware of this discrepancy until now. I'll put it on the lists of things to fix, thank you!

You know, that's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion!

rigged tbh how do you kill that

*edit* just pushed the update that fixed some of these critiques 

Hey, thanks for the comment! I'm actually trying to push an update this weekend that will fix some of those issues and some softlocks. This was an accidentally induced. Initially, May's Torkoal was overleveled and players would just lose quickly and move on, so it wasn't actually too frustrating. But, in the recent updates, I lowered the level to give them a chance but I'm finding this results in a very long stall battle... followed by a stall battle... and then later Smeargles, which is just too much frustration. I'm going to nerf the Torkoal again and also probably the Smeargles and I'll also look at the Beedrills. My purpose in design is to provide a comical level of frustration to the player without inciting anger (kind of like friends joking or teasing one another). Admittedly, I haven't struck that balance quite right yet and still need to adjust some things. That said, thanks for the feedback once again!

Bizarre 0_o Well, I'm glad it finally worked, haha, and hope you have fun with the rest! If an error pops up any time when you play, please take a screen shot and send it over! 

Bro can you tell me the series of your choices before fighting Gary? It keeps crashing for me everytime I fight him😭. Like what name did you pick, did you get the ai gf and did you pick a pokemon or the girls

Thanks for checking! It was a very minor update where I swapped out a song. No new content will be added until the final release- just minor changes and bug fixes.

so apparently, i just found out where this was from, haha. 

for reference, the "professor tree" joke is actually from a short troll game called Pokemon FTW that one of my old game making buddies and eventual members of Arcane Kids made. There are a couple of gags that I take from that game (and give credit to the creator in the credits.txt file)
