Pokémon Lazarus Development Update #02 - New Name, Bigger Vision!

Hey everyone, I have some exciting news to share about my upcoming project!

First and foremost, Pokémon Sunset has now been renamed to Pokémon Lazarus! This change is inspired by the biological term "Lazarus Taxa", which are species long-thought extinct before being rediscovered. The themes of rediscovery and exploration are key to this project! I remade the starter reveal image with the new logo and proper information.

Second, to accompany the Day/Night system in Pokémon Lazarus, all outdoors areas will have distinct Day and Night encounter tables! This will increase the number of available Pokémon in each area, while enhancing the feeling of a living ecosystem (which is very important to me!). In-game time moves quick, allowing a full day/night cycle to pass in about 45 minutes. This means that if you want to hunt for a specific Pokémon only found at a certain time of day, it won't take much waiting!

Finally, I'd like to announce that a demo of Pokémon Lazarus is planned for release! I hope to have it out in late Q1 2025, likely in March. It will include the first few Gyms and story elements, giving a taste of what the full game will be like. I am a solo developer, so making progress takes time, but I hope I can meet this deadline and provide a fun little sample of my progress. Thank you for the support!
