Back in Action and Surfs Up!
Hello everyone! It has been a long time since the last blog post and a true content update for the game. I must apologize and admit that after the long holiday vacation (Christmas and New Years), I have gotten quite rusty. The good news is that I'm picking up speed and removing all the rust that I have and slowly but surely I'm working on to finishing PTD2 and continuing work on other projects.
The game has reached the point where we need surf to to advance the story. I have wrestled long and hard about how I might implement this feature into the game. I have finally been able to experiment with a few things that I think will work quite well. Essentially you will be able to ride your pokemon in the water. To reach new areas that you couldn't access before.

Mystery Gift
Like most weeks there will also be a Mystery Gift this week. Like other Mystery Gifts you can vote for which type and which specific pokemon you want it to be.
Fundraiser and Subscription Update
Since I'm still getting back in gear with updates I will keep the fundraiser active for a while longer and the subscriptions are still on hold until I can build some of the functionality required to get them going. Please be patient these things take time.
Thanks!
This new year is starting out and I just wanted to personally thank all of you for all the support that you have given me all this time. I know that this year will be better than ever! None of this would be possible without your support. Thanks for playing!
