Released Pokémon Supernova Chapter 2

---

Welcome to Verdan Academy, a prestigious institution nestled deep within the Aldana region—where tradition, ambition, and mystery collide.

You’re one of the few students selected to join this year’s class, each member assigned to a dorm that shapes their path. Fate places you in Fennel Wing, the underdog dorm known more for misfits than prodigies. But as you'll soon discover, this year will be anything but ordinary.

Meet unforgettable classmates, build friendships, rivalries, and uncover strange rumors surrounding ancient ruins hidden throughout the campus grounds. With exploration programs reinstated after a mysterious suspension, something long buried begins to stir once more.

What secrets lie beneath the surface of Aldana? And why does it feel like you're being watched?

Your journey at Verdan Academy is about to begin—but not every lesson comes from a textbook.

(Some features are still a WIP)

School Life Simulation
You live the life of a student at Verdan Academy, forming relationships, attending events, and exploring the world beyond campus.
Interactions with other students (like Lara, Rei, Nina) affect story direction through an affinity system.


Narrative-Driven Progression
A branching storyline filled with secrets, ancient ruins, tension between factions, and moral choices.
Dialogue and event outcomes can change based on earlier choices, making the story reactive and immersive.


Enhanced Battle System
Battles are visually impressive thanks to Elite Battle: DX, with animated intros, battle UI upgrades.


Exploration & Side Quests
Explore areas like the Whispering Ruins, Glintgrove Way, and Mantia Island, each with its own story hooks and encounter tables.
Side quests flesh out characters and the world, including ruin investigations and hidden truths about Pokémon and the factions.


Relationship & Reputation System
Helping or ignoring characters affects your affinity with them, influencing both story and dialogue in subtle and meaningful ways.

Special Thanks
To all developers, spriters, coders, and contributors who continue to support the fan development community.


Thank You for Playing!


Thank you so much for playing this game! This project holds a special place for me, as it's the very first one that has made it past the planning stages and into something that you can actually experience. I truly appreciate your time and support as you explore the world I've created.


As this is my first real endeavor into game development, I must apologize for any rough edges or imperfections you may encounter along the way. I'm still learning , and your feedback is invaluable to me as I continue to improve and refine the experience.


I hope you enjoy the journey, and once again, thank you for being a part of it!

This project was originally created for the InsertName Game Jam of 2025.
Thank you to all the coordinators and players who made the event possible!​

 

[Sleepwalker2ndG]

Hey, I have a quick question. After the first dungeon, is that the end of the chapter, or is there something else? I have no clue where to go after the cutscene.

For now, it is, I should have the next story bit by Friday, in the meantime you can talk to an npc that is on the field near the Academy GYM to unlock the battle challenge if you like that kind of content.

There are a few optional side quests and areas explorable only after the end of the Dungeon, 2 secret events, have you seen any of those.

SUPER SECRET reward to any who manages to beat the Battle Challenge without pausing it. >:D

Quick questions:
-Have you run into any issues at all during you playthrough.
-Are the class questions to your liking and easy to understand?

Spoiler

-Did you like the Lara swap for the story? Is this something you would like to see more?

 

[Gerack]

Would love to play this as it seems really neat, however for whatever reason, MEGA just refuses to work with this particular download. If you could provide an alternate download link (mediafire or google drive, for instance), that'd be fantastic!

Sure thing, I'll get a drive Alternative up in a few, sorry for the issues with MEGA, that's a first, thank you for letting me know.

I have not seen any secret events, to my knowledge.

And to answer the questions:
1. I found one issue with great balls. Are there supposed to be regular and hisuian versions of it (the ones found in the ruins)? I found both types during my playthrough.
2. The questions in classes are great. No other comments from me.

Spoiler

3. I really liked the Lara swap in the dungeon. It would be nice if you added more swaps later on, and with different characters, too.

And also, the chapter 1 changelog mentioned specific places to save. Does this matter for this update?

 

[Sleepwalker2ndG]

Smol Patch Notes

• Added a Google Drive download option for easier access​
• Fixed some minor collision issues in the Crumbling Path​
• Adjusted more battler sprite positions that were slightly off​
• Fixed a few quest triggers that weren’t activating properly​

Important: Please save in your dorm room before applying the update to avoid any issues.

Yeah, I need to fix that, sorry! I had so much on my plate I completely forgot to patch it, pending for the next story patch. >.>
As for #3, that’s actually going to become a proper mechanic, glad you liked it!

I just encountered a problem: It seems I'm not allowed access to the drive download. You may need to make it public.

Maaaaaaaaaan, thank you so much for taking the time to play the game.
I really appreciate it. I did take some inspiration from GX, so your message honestly means a lot, you have no idea.

Quick update:
I had originally mentioned a small story patch for Friday the 4th, but I ran into some issues while developing a specific section. One of the solutions involved implementing a new plugin, but that would’ve made save files from Chapter 1 incompatible for most players, which I definitely wanted to avoid.

So... I had to get creative.

After a bit of sweat (and the limits of my current knowledge), I finally figured out an alternative! I’m now close to completing the current story beat. That said, I’m still unsure whether to release this content right away or hold off and launch it as part of Chapter 2 all at once instead of in small patches.


Also, here’s a little spoiler drop in case you’re curious and want a sneak peek at what’s coming:

Spoiler: SPOILER WARNING /!\

 

[Aisling]

Been enjoying this so far, though I feel like it would be nice if the end of the demo were more clearly expressed. Are you still looking for beta testers?

I was actually thinking about this just yesterday! I had a small sign in the Insert Name Jam demo, but after releasing Chapter 1, I didn’t add any markers. That’s something I’ll be doing from this point forward. And if you’re still interested in helping out, I’d love to get more feedback, it's always welcome!
Right now, I’m close to finishing a HUGE puzzle in the game, and... well, that usually means I’ve probably overlooked a few things. Players always find ways to interact with stuff I never thought of as a dev.

 

[Aisling]

Of course! I really enjoyed this, and I want to keep enjoying it. And if I can help smooth it out I would gladly, you know?

 

[mikethemaster2012]

Hey can anyone help me with were to go after I beat the evil team in ruins and after story cut scene do I go to the hospital to visit Lara or do I do the dev tournament. I got beat in it and now I gotta do it over again. Please help

That’s the end of Chapter 1. If you’ve already completed all the sidequests, the only major content currently available is the Tournament.

That said... there are two secret events hidden in Mirinth, and so far, no one’s found them yet.

Hmm... I checked through all of Minrith, but all I found were 2 Rare Candies in the Abandoned House. I have no idea where they could be...

Well... that’s why they’re called secrets. They’re out there... if you can find them.

Spoiler: Hint?

One’s a nod to an old rumor from a classic game, and the other... well, I’m hoping someone stumbles upon it eventually. I even wrote a little story for those who enjoy flavor text.

Also, there’s a special reward for clearing the event challenge without pausing. Too bad no one can beat Rique... >.>

Spoiler: Mirinth thief

I did find the thief in the back of the truck, though upon leaving it told me I had already finished that quest

Spoiler: Hint #1

Well, I just found the Mew, so that's pretty cool. I'm now going to look for the next!

Edit:

Spoiler

I managed to catch Lumi! I really liked the sequence of event leading to it!

I also found a bug in the Academy; If you enter the classroom, I don't know what triggers it, but you replay the Battle Theory class, and I got a 2nd TM.

Did you happen to start a new game after the patch? I had a bug earlier that I had to patch a couple of times. Try triggering it again now that you’ve got it a second time, if it doesn’t happen again, then that was likely the cause, and you shouldn’t run into any more issues from here on out.
