love the trans women in your online, irl, and global community right now, today, before she’s humiliated, ostracized, and exiled, before anyone ever raises a hand against her, before any words can break her down, love the trans women in your life out loud and protect her, defend her, speak up for her, but before it all love her and be her friend, her family, her community
every trans woman deserves safety, security, and happiness and the least we can do is everything in our power to make it happen
So awhile back I announced that Apex was being shelved so that I could remake it into Project Goetia. That hasn’t changed! …At least not entirely.
Looking back on the work I had done at that point, I realized that a large portion of the work on Build 10 was actually already done! Since then a lot of things have changed, and I’ve decided to make the push to get Build 10 out to the players before shelving the project as originally discussed.
What does this mean? Build 10 is real and it is coming Soon™️. A ton of work has already been done, including some done very recently.
When is it coming? It’s hard to provide an accurate estimate. Unfortunately I suffer from a full time job and even full-er time ADHD, both of which severely limit the amount of time and mental energy I have to work on projects, and the latter of which keeps me constantly rotating between projects in a cycle I like to call The Carousel of Dopamine. That being said, I hope to have Build 10 out by the end of 2024 as a highly conservative estimate, and by June as a fairly liberal estimate.
How can I help? Continue spreading the word about Apex and please join the Discord to send me lots of hugs and warm fuzzies (and maybe take a look at some of my other projects while you’re there). It may sound cheesy, but the best counter to The Carousel of Dopamine is vocal support and validation.
What content is coming in Build 10? Now to the fun stuff! I’ve done a TON of work on new maps, much-needed gameplay features, and new content. Here’s a brief overview of the additions and changes:
Multiple new areas! Nearly the entire overworld of Abbadon will be accessible, including the vast Megiddo Plains, the quaint historic village of Eden, the touristy seaside town of Ys, a new dungeon called The Great Canal, as well as some new connecting areas. Build 10 will bring the map total to over 210. It’s really big!
Standard Pokemon features such as Daycare/Breeding and a one-stop-shop Move Tutor!
Everyone Is Here! All non-legendaries (except Unown, which I doubt anyone will be losing sleep over) up through Gen V will be obtainable in the game, either through normal wild spawns or through in-game gifts or trades.
New Levitate system! Holy cow, I created this three years ago. Oopsies! Anyway, this will be coming in Build 10!
Tons of new trainer classes, including the Zangs, a violent street gang, as well as Pirates, Priests, Florists, Salarymen, Ranchers, and a variety of beachgoers!
Brand new music from new composer DSTY! My friend Dust has whipped up some KILLER new tracks for overworld and battle themes. You’re going to love them!
HUGE amount of balance changes (all buffs). Tons of underpowered Pokemon will now be more viable.
Lots of side content, including questline events with returning characters such as Sayaka, Siegfried, and Larry.
If you’d like to learn more, see development tidbits, and get the most up-to-date news, make sure to join the Discord server! That’s all for now, everyone! Hope to see you all soon in Build 10.
I don’t know if people realize just how scary it is to be a transfemme these days. It feels like every other day I’m waking up to some new reminder that lots of people out there want me dead and face zero consequences for it.
