Getting in Touch on Discord

[zeroality]

Hi all. Thought it would be good to get back in touch via Discord and see what everyone's up to those days.

I don't have a room setup but if enough people pm me about it, we can make one.

Mine is kassad#9991

Not much new to report with me, other than I'm really into Forge of Empires now. If anyone wants to try it out pm me first so I can hit you up with a referral link so you land in same world.

Hey there!

I created a Topaz Development discord server last year, actually! A handful of us have been in there for a while. I was planning to open it up to everyone on the forums once I had a demo ready to share, but since the topic has come up I'll just go ahead and share it now.

Topaz Development (https://discord.gg/NZBcTmAzyX)

This server is primarily for discussing my ongoing effort to revive Pokemon Topaz by building it inside the Pokemon Emerald decompilation. The following parts are complete:

* All Topaz mons inserted into the game
* Topaz front and back sprites resized and recolorized to satisfy engine constraints
* Topaz menu icons sprited and inserted
* Topaz items sprited, inserted and implemented
* Topaz abilities implemented
* Topaz moves implemented (not animated)
* All maps through Mt Mist created or recreated
* Story playable through Softwind City (2 badges)
* Wild encounters
* Trainers
* Physical/special split
* Cries (in progress) roughly 20% complete
* Shiny palettes
* Cranewing City Bank
* 12-badge layout for trainer card

New Features:
* Quest tracking system
* Misc quality of life improvements
- HMs don't have to be learned to be used, just learnable
- Description/icon pop-up on item pickup
- "Use next repel" pop-up

I hope you all will join the discord to follow along with this project! I could use your help with several non-coding aspects, as well as simply providing feedback and discussion as I work through development.
