next up: the f*cking pokedex
still building co-op for PokeTide, so i took a pokedex apart with the same crew watching
we opened it to give the survivors-like genre something it hasn't seen yet
8 steps, from closed to every last piece:
> fold it open: the cover swings 180° on a side hinge and carries every control with it
> power it on: both screens light up at once
> release the controls: 10 blue keys, the d-pad, the screen and the lights lift off their seats
> take it all apart: shells, keys, screens and hinge pieces slide out sideways
> put it back: every piece returns to the exact same spot
pikachu got the screen this time xd
co-op beta is coming soon to our Discord
PokeTide makes pokemon great again
i opened a f*cking pokeball
while building co-op for PokeTide, i asked Claude to take one apart with my favourite pokemon watching
one tiny machine that carries a whole pokemon:
> two shells and one belt around the middle. a rear hinge guides the lid
> press the button: a spring winds up and the belt lights up
> the lid swings back, the bottom stays still, light rises from the core
> see-through shell: metal frame, spiral spring, a core and two side hinges
> take it apart: 12 parts, 6 assemblies, then it clicks back shut
pikachu, charmander, squirtle and bulbasaur supervised every step xd
what do i open next, a pokedex?

Gengar took over my game
PokeTide v1.2 is live, and Ghost Night just started
10 days of Halloween darkness, ghosts and candles
what's inside:
> darkness: you only see what's close. you won't see most of what hits you
> candles: light them up on the map to push back the dark and heal
> ghosts only: every enemy is a ghost or dark pokemon. gengar waits you on floor 7
> endless floors: beat gengar and the cave keeps going, harder every floor. who goes deepest?
> fair fight: same start for everyone, like the daily. upgrades don't decide it, skill does
> candle book: 8 reward tiers. stardust, titles, a frame, an avatar, and a shiny ghost at the very top
> hard achievements: floor 25, floor 40, gengar 10 times, a run with zero healing and more
> leaderboard: prizes by place when it ends, top 3 go to the Hall of Fame
> night menu and a purple run map while the event lasts
> Discord Community is live
candles drop everywhere: tons in Ghost Night, a few in normal runs
free, runs in your browser or Telegram on pc and phone. event ends Nov 2
light your candles, go down into Gengar's cave and take your spot at the top
see you in the dark
