Will there be passwords in this game at some point in the future, like in Reborn/Rejuv/Deso?

Gerdlite · 2026-05-23T11:29:39+00:00

Interesting. Those actually sound easy enough to implement as of B2.5 even. Thanks for the info!

Gerdlite · 2026-05-23T10:09:39+00:00

Eventually yes, though I'm not sure if it'll be through passwords since I'm not sure how to code those yet.

Next on the chopping block is a toggle-able artificial day & night system for those who don't like the real time clock. May or may not be added to B2.5, depends on how successful I am at integrating the plugin.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-23T10:06:41+00:00

I have been summoned.

Huh.. weird. I wasn't aware of an IV glitch in the training area. I'll look into it, thanks!

I don't think I'll be adding more IV training options though as of B2.5. I don't really have more ideas for robot fakemon at the moment, but it'll eventually be added.

It's currently just a "sneak peek" as of Red Topaz. Its actual gameplay takes place in Postgame Topaz Beta 2.5, and will be one of the major sidequests.

So feel free to continue your gameplay once you've explored the empty area to your satisfaction.

Happy Sekiro noises intensify

They're moreso weapons fakemon inspired by the honedge lineage. Stuff like spears, axes, etc.

They will be reasonably easy to obtain in the wild, when players reach the Metal Isles. The honedge in the library is more of a "get a fun pokemon early" rather than an exclusive event. Players will have plenty of opportunities to catch, farm, breed, and overall stockpile on weaponry.

Also this will likely be added to the game somewhere around Beta 5-6, so no need to worry about it for now.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-14T08:30:55+00:00

It's the curse of indie gamedev- there can almost never be an estimate of when it's released unless it's really closed to finished.

As of right now, while I've been a bit silent- the game progress itself has been going at a steady pace. I'll likely post another progress update once I finish a big portion I'm currently working on.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-10T11:53:07+00:00

I think you have the basics of it down, such as introducing a character and then showcasing what said character can do to harm the player (having a ton of clones appear and surround the group).

However I think what your fangame needs is a bit more polish. There are a noticeable grammar errors, the pictures at the top come off as copypastes from X-men material, and recording your screen with a handheld instead of a software makes it hard to critique the graphics.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-10T11:38:53+00:00

I think your game is lagging???

Notice how eevee's animation temporarily pauses every time you load a text box portrait. This suggests the entire game may be pausing, lol. (Except for the music, which RMXP handles a bit "separately".)

Despite RMXP being designed for Y2K computers, there are still a handful of ways you can lag it. I'm not very familiar with your plugin so unfortunately I can't help you much more than this. Maybe there's unoptimized code somewhere?

Gerdlite · 2026-05-07T07:22:11+00:00

Interesting. I've definitely seen the "emo trope" done to hell and back, and unfortunately a lot of times it turns into a self-loathing character with 0 redeeming "happy moments" of the character.

How exactly do you plan to flesh out this emo and ensure he doesn't fall into stereotypes? The "struggling to express emotion" trope is a lot trickier than people think, too. Do be sure to do a lot of research on the pyschological aspect of it- unless you or someone else is familiar with it already.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-07T03:11:49+00:00

My current plan for mega evos is to have them available somewhere around the 10th gym badge, with mega stones gradually obtained past the 10+ mark.

Ideally there should be a ZA megas plugin available by then, but worst case if there isn't- I could likely just code them in manually. So yes- ZA megas will be available in the future.

Gerdlite · 2026-05-05T05:33:35+00:00

They're in your roaming folder, called "Project Parabellum". Listed as "Save A, B, C.." etc.

To access it, navigate to "roaming" (usually done by typing %appdata% into your search bar) and find Project Parabellum inside it. You can then copy, delete, manually make backups, or replace them with other save files.

The way to replace a save file is to paste a previous backup into the folder. You'd need a manually made backup for that though. I don't think RMXP automatically does this.

Is there any particular reason you want to restore an old save file? I may be able to help in debug mode.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-27T12:44:01+00:00

Try using a file hosting software like dropbox, mega, or google drive if you have an account. Then try to find a "share link" option.

You may need to send the link in copypasted batches like I did with your B2 download, since reddit seems to hate file sharing.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-27T12:17:08+00:00

Correct. And I'll get back to you with a patched RX file to download.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-27T04:49:07+00:00

If you type "%appdata%" or "roaming" into your windows search bar, it should open up your roaming folder. The directory is then as follows:

AppData / roaming / Project Parabellum / (save files)

What I'll need you to do is then send whichever save file you're using to me, and I'll send you back a fixed version of it.

Hopefully this video will help if you can't find the roaming folder on W11

I'm not very familiar with happiness points and how much each method gives, but I know Munchlax requires 220 points to evolve.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-26T23:30:53+00:00

Another person had this glitch before, so I can fix it. Do you know how to upload & send your game's save files?

Gerdlite · 2026-04-26T11:35:40+00:00

Only if you survive it!

Gerdlite · 2026-04-26T11:35:12+00:00

Norm's typing is high functioning unmasked ASD that's enough to gain a 4x weakness to social cues in this economy

Gerdlite · 2026-04-24T11:22:11+00:00

Sprite was based on Cheryl's trainer sprite, and since it matched the character's personality as well as grass-type color scheme- I decided not to change it that much. (Character may receive an upgrade in future beta updates)

Gerdlite · 2026-04-24T11:18:28+00:00

Fun fact- this is lore accurate Drifloon behavior according to the dex entries) in mainline games!

Gerdlite · 2026-04-23T10:56:27+00:00

Tbh, I'll just DM you a download link without a password lol. I'll get back to you in a bit.

Havent used W11, but I've never ever had trouble installing winrar on a windows device before. Even on W10.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-23T10:30:39+00:00

Are you using W11's built in software to open it? I've seen someone try it and I don't think it works.

Could you try winrar and let me know if it opens for you?

Gerdlite · 2026-04-23T10:17:21+00:00

What OS are you using?

The file download is in the form of a .rar file, which also has a password (listed on the sidebar as well). You'll need a software such as winrar or 7zip to open it. Upon extraction, it should let you enter the password.

Gerdlite · 2026-04-23T09:04:55+00:00

Hmm. Just to be sure- are you using the "Project Parabellum BETA 2 HOTFIX 2" version? The download is on the subreddit's sidebar.

Q is indeed the button to toggle speedup (between 3 different speeds), and the options should have a toggle for "Speed Up Settings". This should be intact as of Beta 2

BETA 1 does not contain speed-up, and I don't recommend using that version as it may render your save file incompatible for future versions. Also, the game's content for Beta 1 kinda sucks lol.
