Looks promising will put in the list.

We've officially updated to Alpha 1.1.1! In this update we've completely overhauled consumables with a new key item!

New Features

Introduced the “Aid Kit”, a key item given to you in the Casaba Villa PokeCenter. It’s a charge-based healing item which recharges whenever you heal at a PokeCenter or get some other form of full team heal. You can use the item to spend a charge, reviving any fainted pokemon, curing all statuses, restoring all PP, and healing all Pokemon by a certain amount.
- You can find “Kit Expansions” and “Medical Upgrades” throughout Makya which will permanently increase the number of charges and the amount of healing given per charge, respectively, when used.
- Because of this item, there are many more required trainers on routes after the tutorial (Fewer spinners, etc.)
Added an item called “Strike Vest” which is the physical counterpart to “Assault Vest”. It increases the Defense of the Pokemon which holds it by 50%, but prevents the selection of status moves.
Added a new piece of battle content to the Swamp Route and to the Ice Rink Town.

Major Tweaks

Fairy is now weak to Bug (This is an experimental change).
CoolTrainer fights have been reworked as single battles, but where you only get their reward if you perfectly defeat them.
You can now always mentor a move onto a Pokemon which that Pokemon could learn by level up.
In the Pokedex “area” tab, it doesn't just say what map the pokemon is found on, it also specifies which encounter type (tall grass, puddle, mud, etc.).
Replaced the title screen with one unique to Project Chasm (still a placeholder) which also lists the game's current version.

You can read the rest of our changelog here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lAmtvs7VEuLvZMf2Z0iLZYpCWMcJP9S7uhWwfAlvxEs/edit?usp=sharing

We are also currently aware of a game breaking bug in the Sun Cave! It has been fixed and will be pushed in the next patch. For now, you can patch it manually with this file placed into the "/Data" folder and allowing it to overwrite the existing file there.

Project Chasm's alpha is now on version 1.2.0!

New Features

Avatars may now use Primeval Moves during battle at the time at which they go below half health. These moves are powerful moves which change their typing, their moveset, and make the rest of the battle more challenging!
The starter store was reworked into three unique rooms (for nuzlocking purposes). Each trade now also requires a “Token” of the proper type. E.g. you must trade in a Fire Token which you’ve found out in the world to get Charmander. Otherwise, the cost has been reduced from 5k to 3k.
Added the “Universal Formalizer” item, available at the tail end of some new content past the river in the river route. Allows you to arbitrarily swap the forms of mechanically-relevant multi-form Pokemon (e.g. Rotom) outside of battle.
Added Damage Numbers to battles, which display whenever a Pokemon is hit by an attack or the repeating damage of certain DoT effects.
Can search dex by “exact type” and by comparisons between the pokemons two stats (e.g. Atk > Sp. Atk)
Different distributions of style values now get a unique name on the style values distribution UI

New Moves and Abilities

New ability “Impervious” (Immune to crits and defense/sp. Def drops) replaces Battle Armor/Shell Armor/Big Pecks on many pokemon
Added two new debuffing moves across a ton of Pokemon: Dazzle (Special Growl), Smirk (Special Leer). Also wrangled the distribution of Confide, which is now +1 priority, making it the special variant of Baby-Doll Eyes.
Added “Store Fuel” to many fire and poison types. Setup move which raises Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and accuracy.
Added new abilities “Harsh” (crits against burned targets), “Tough” (takes half damage from fighting and rock moves), “Headstrong” (Doubled defense in Psychic Terrain), and Quick Thinking (Doubled speed in Psychic Terrain)
New ability “Candy Veil” replaces Sweet Veil (Self and allies immune to Sleep and Chill). “Fae Veil” replaces “Pastel Veil” (Self and allies immune to Poison and Burn).
New ability “Frustrate” added, which debuffs enemies speed on the user entering. (Like Intimidate)
New ability “Energetic” replaces Limber, it prevents the pokemon from being paralyzed, chilled, or having its speed stat stage reduced.
New ability “Armor Piercing” added. “Doubles move power against targets with raised defenses.
New signature abilities “Territorial” and “Deterrent” for Spearow and Pidove lines, respectively.
The ability “Specialist” replaced by the ability “Expertise”: “Super effective damage increased by 30%.”
New move “Dream Absorb” replaces Dream Eater. Can hit against non-sleeping targets, just deals half as much.

1.3.0 is finally up and available for download! This patch is the largest patch we've dropped since the alpha has gone public, and we hope you enjoy the first of our post-surf content -- Prizca West and the Battle Plaza. You can find these places north of the County Park, past the river. Expect new quests, battles, available Pokémon, and a new Gym. These areas accompany a slew of new features such as Hot Streaks, the PokEstate, and the Traits Expansion.

New Features/Content

Reworked the Eleig River Crossing, adding content north of the river. That leads into Prizca West and the Battle Plaza, two new maps full of content, including the fifth gym!
Added the PokEstate, a series of maps accessible from your PC. The PokEstate is where the Pokemon you store in your PC are hanging out. Each box gets its own map, whose terrain is based on the background chosen for that box (e.g. the volcano background is a volcano). While visiting the Estate, you can withdraw, deposit, or interact with your Pokemon. You can access the Estate either from the main storage menu, or by clicking on the top bar of a given PC box.
Added Makyan Sentret and Makyan Furret regional forms to the game. The Sentret is available in the Shipping Lane where regular Sentret used to be (regular Sentret is now available through a trade in Nemeth)
Hot Streaks added: Pokemon get 30% more battle experience after going at least 2 battles (trainer or avatar) in which they participated but did not faint. A new icon on the Pokemon summary screen shows if a Pokemon is on a hot streak. Forfeiting a battle will reset the streaks of your entire party.
Added Likes and Dislikes. When a Pokemon achieves maximum happiness, it will unlock a purely aesthetic listing of something it likes and something it dislikes on the same screen as traits are shown on the Pokemon summary
Added a new track as the BGM for Casaba Villa, composed by Zufaix.

Major Tweaks

Reworked Casaba Villa and the routes to the north of it to make them loop around satisfyingly and simplify them. There’s a new set of encounters available in Casaba Villa after said loop.
Many maps now have birds flying above the map at random intervals to add ambience
Screenshots are now actually saved into the Save Games folder as the game says they are
The Item Storage box and Mailbox storages are no longer accessible. When you interact with a PC, it immediately boots you into Pokemon Storage
Pokemon Storage now has 40 boxes rather than 30
When you caught or are given a new Pokemon while you have a full party, instead of it always being sent to the PC, you have the option to send one of your current party members back instead
A bunch of evolution items are now available by using the surfboard on maps which were already accessible before getting the surfboard
Lainie no longer gives out evolution items when you beat her.
Added dozens of new possible Personality Traits for your Pokemon to have
Replaced the placeholder sprites for Lambert, Helena, Rafael, Vincent, and Lucile with better (but still placeholder) sprites
The gym theme BGM now loops properly
Added a phone call with Zain which triggers in Nemeth, and another one at the County Park
Trainer battle experience reduced by 10% (Now 1.8x compared to wild battles)

New Moves and Abilities

Added the Bad Luck ability which draws in all status-category moves if you don’t suffer from a status effect. Distributed to Pachirisu and Furfrou.
Added the Brooding ability which gives the Pokemon +5% to Attack,Sp. Attack, Defense, Sp. Def, and Speed for each other Dragon-type Pokemon on the team. Distributed to Druddigon.
Added the Soul Read ability which makes the pokemon deal 50% extra damage to targets whose last move used didn’t match with one of their types. Distributed to Makyan Sentret and Makyan Furret.

You can view all of these changes and more in detail in our 1.3 changelog.

We're tracking a graphical glitch related to Pokemon learning a new move after leveling up via EXP Candy. The game will look like it is frozen. It is not actually frozen, and the bug can be solved by pressing your action key (c by default) a few times. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Done! If you want, I can change your name in the credits to lichenprincess as well.

edit: Just realized I only changed the credits in the main thread, not in the latest update. Whoops, should be good now.

Fangame development is done by hobbyists for free. Because of that, fangames don't have development schedules like professional games, and they don't really have any reason to hold off on releasing a product when it's done. Some developers will give estimates if they feel confident they can get something done in time, but otherwise, the only answer to "When is this fangame going to be done?" is "Whenever it's finished."

Yeah, its essentially what TechSkylander said. I can give a really rough estimate of mid-late 2023, but with any sort of hobbyist dev work I hesitate to give a guarantee. We still have a good amount of content to go through, and we want to set aside some time for polish/bugfixing/etc.

As for being unable to use discord, I can send a one drive link through Relic Castle's DMs if you want. I try to avoid posting links in the threads themselves to try to adhere to the rules.

... huh? What rule would you break? Look at several of the other projects in this section of the forums and you'll see links to their games if they have them.

I remember reading somewhere not to use shortened URLs? I mean, I'll take your word for it. Maybe someone will point it out eventually.

Here's the download for our latest released patch.

And here's a link to our playtesting survey if y'all feel like filling that out. Feedback is much appreciated.

The rules for Other Games and Projects and Progressing Projects mention not using URL shorteners, but I'm pretty sure that's referring to stuff like bit.ly or shorturl, not redirect on that same site.

Ah, I see. I confused URL shorteners and shortened URLs. In that case, next time someone asks for I link I'll just give it to then.
