The Pokémon Academy Life Community

I know it can be brutal to say and the developers are very touchy-feely about when this subject comes up but I think I can speak for a lot of us that are still coming back to this website and leaving empty handed and with no info at all. Couldn't the devs just give us a little info or literally ANYTHING?!? It's been a year and almost a half that the last update was put on the site. Just something... anything?

Well, the lead developer has started drawing again. He drew 1 character from Pokemon Sword, and a bunch from Fire Emblem in the past two weeks. Which is better than nothing.

I still think the game is dead. I would recommend moving on.

The game’s not dead. A while ago on Facebook, they officially said that they would let us know should they ever stop working on it. Also DM has stated a couple times recently that it is still being worked on and that the official Twitter, Facebook, etc, will post when there is something significant worth posting. Check his Twitter.

I went back and checked, the Facebook update came in on March 27th this year, so give or take about 6 months ago. It’s been a while but this is certainly not the end of the line. 6 months since the last update for a fan project with a very small and busy team, this doesn’t seem like dire straits to me.

Things are just busy, life does come first. Projects like these take a lot of time.

Half of a year is a long time to not hear anything. It's easy to take the devs' word that it's still being worked on, but it would be nice to maybe hear a little about progress now and then, even if it's non-specific. A long silence goes a long way towards making people doubt that things are still happening.

The fact that they've done overhauls of art and then over a major supporting character has definitely caused a lot of understandable kinds of delays, but it's hard to rest easy when we have no idea how things are going, either in patching up what needs adjusting, or in breaking new ground. They used to show off a lot of art, but it's been mostly pretty quiet as of late.

I dont actually expect this game to ever be released. Basically 6 months of radio silence. Be nice if they just said anything. Or maybe let someone else take over the project

They did a small info update last month on Facebook and Twitter. It's not really anything new besides a "we're still here post" so take that as you will but the project isn't dead.
