Story Introduction

50 years ago, a devastating attack by a group called "The Defiance" took the world by storm. Today, Trainers are required to gain proper licensing in order to use Pokémon.

You awaken in front of a girl named Destiny, who claims to have found you unconscious in a nearby forest. Other than your own name, all of your memories seem to be lost. With no other options, you accompany Destiny to the Vanguard Academy, a school designed to transform novice Pokémon Trainers, into professionals with the goal of defending the region from threats known as Renegades, Pokémon Trainers who refuse to abide by the new laws set in place.

This looks gorgeous. Will it work in EasyRPG?

No, but most games that use Pokemon Essentials like Project Vanguard can just work via launching the game.exe file and no RTP needed.

You can even use Wine to launch it if you're on Linux and if you're on Android then there is the latest version of Joiplay (from their patreon) that you can use to play it on mobile.

Nice. What about generic gamepad support?

Yes, it does work with generic gamepads and has support for it thanks to Pokemon Essentials. You can also press F1 while ingame to remap all of your controls to your liking.

I have found the way to run the game on Linux. Thanks to this: https://github.com/bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs

What a weird “emulator” I’d say, but it just works! The guy who wrote that is freaking magician. So this is a way to play PRG Maker XP games (and other variants) natively.

The only thing is that I had to do is to modify ‘Game.ini’ file to remove windooz stuff:
- convert newlines with dos2unix tool
- replace backslash with forward slash (oh my)
- replace double whitespace with plain single space (it kept complaining config not found because of that, so strange)

Heh, sometimes getting it running is even more interesting than some other game
