He/They, 30s. Romhacker/game designer, pixel artist, and fanfic writer, particularly interested in Pokemon SV, but you may have seen me around SMW Central too. I hope to see you all build and share the worlds and selves of your dreams! Much more active on Bluesky, unless you wanna yell at me to change that
I've been working on a Pokemon fangame called The Broken Mirror for the past little while. If you enjoyed the emphasis Ham's League Club had on exploring Nemona, Arven, and Penny's characters, continuing their arcs, and just hanging out with them every day after Scarlet/Violet's DLCs didn't really deliver on that, this is kinda like that as a real standalone game -- a sequel in a new region that I'm so excited to share someday. (More info under the cut)
[back of the box blurb voice] Gather up the Zero Crew, hop on Miraidon, and train up new teams together in the misty valleys of Orgul, where one of the toughest Pokemon Leagues yet has taken form. Unexpected encounters hide around every corner, but you'll have plenty of time around the fire to reflect and plan your next move on a journey where your only home is each other.
Can't say much yet because I do love surprises, but the features I've planned out include:
A full-length adventure with 8 Gyms and whatnot
A return to dangerous dungeons with top-down puzzle design
A healthy balance of freedom to explore and structured progression
250+ Pokemon dex carefully chosen and individually rebalanced
Heavy emphasis on character stories; button-mashers will be shot
Adventure, chat, battle, and relax with the crew just about anywhere
Dozens of emotive dialogue portraits so you know how they feel
Custom GSC-era art and tilesets, as you probably noticed
The best 8-bit music I can borrow (maybe I'll make some too)
Modern mechanics, including Terastallization and improved Raids
A level cap per badge; learning will get you further than grinding
Gyms that ask you to counter their playstyles, not just their types
Tons of new or redesigned moves and items, available through...
A crafting system that actually exists for a reason (gasp)
A tastefully small handful of familiar faces from other regions
Trauma
Cuddling
Hope
A creator who knows what scope creep is
There still has to be an endless lv100 postgame though, for me
Basically any mindless task has a more engaging alternative
I'm not gonna give a concrete release date -- it'll be done when it's done. Right now i'm just flitting around doing what I can with art, maps, design, story, etc. while I wait for some of the uncertainty about the next Essentials GSC engine update to settle down. Worst case scenario, I'd have to make it look and sound retro by myself more than I planned to.
From now on, though, you can follow progress on this by checking #SVTheBrokenMirror on my socials, or read my other stuff to get an idea of what you're in for. Thanks!

defunctland episode released immediately upon your death chronicling all failed career paths and relationships and somehow michael eisner is still at fault
my mutual will post “i just blocked one of my mutuals” and i’ll be reading it on my own dash with my own eyes directly from their blog thinking “it was probably me………….😔”
liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
the replacement of websites with apps sounds so backwards when you actually describe it. like hmm you have to download an entire program onto your device each time you want access to a portal, where it takes up storage indefinitely. somebody should invent an app where you can "browse" any portal just by typing in its address... 🥴

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.
I've talked before about how the "freedom" offered by the Weird Route is illusory – all you're doing is switching to a different set of rails – but I hadn't really thought about the degree to which the Mantle questline makes this clear.
For all Ramb hypes up the original version being the "right" one, allowing you to play it "your way" or whatever, it objectively offers less freedom and discovery than both of Tenna's versions. You no longer get to pursue certain objectives and ignore others, or, alternatively, pursue every objective just to get your rank up. Little bonus areas are reduced to empty caves that basically say GO NORTH TO ADVANCE CRITICAL PATH. Meanwhile, the whole thing is framed by you controlling a puppet who is in turn controlling a puppet of themself. What kind of freedom is that?

I hate explaining dog whistles to white people because they look at you like you're a goddamn conspiracy theorist. Like Lord forbid bigotry is more subtle than someone shouting "I HATE (INSERT SLUR)" to an oppressed person's face and violently beating the shit out of them.
