Thanks to some of 3dpe’s resident geniuses (genii!) I’ve added some fog thresholding. Also shown: hey look you can pull panes off the main window, control ambient and fog colours, and make fairy lights
I dunno if I’ll pull off what I had planned before the 25th but watch this space i guess?
It’s time! After months of waiting, Pokémon Uranium 4.3 is finally here, and the game is bigger and better than ever!
But first, a note: while v4.3 contains many bug fixes, improvements, and optimizations, it does not contain any more of the story – you will have to wait for the full game release (v5.0) to challenge the 8th gym and beyond! But don’t be discouraged – 4.3 has so much else to keep you busy in the meantime, including…
An all-new gender neutral playable character, Pluto!
Updated Battle HUD
NEW, ORIGINAL SONGS by Uranium’s new composer, ElectricMudkip!
2 BRAND NEW Fakemon: Unymph and Harptera
Updated battle & breeding mechanics to Generation 6
Added Phenomena: shaking grass and dust clouds in caves
NEW Online battle mode: VGC 2015! (& Team Preview added to Online Battles)
A newly revamped event after the 3rd Gym, with new kinds of Nuclear Pokémon!
Updated Pokémon moves, stats, & abilities, including Hidden Abilities!
Rebalanced levels of wild Pokémon & Trainers for better game flow
Polished up early game areas like Nowtoch City
Lag reduction & game speed increases – the game runs a LOT faster now!
More revamped sprites
Even more attack animations
+ many, many bug fixes!
WOW! There’s so much here! If you were thinking of starting a second save file… now is the time!
If you’ve already downloaded the game, updating to 4.3 is simple: just run the Patcher.exe included with the game download!
And if you haven’t downloaded it yet (for… some reason), you can get the latest version from the Download page on our website! Hooray!
And all players should make sure to grab the new Mystery Gift from the delivery person at any Poké Mart! This shiny Chimical comes with its hidden Ability, Contrary!

Making some nice progress on gen 5 style battles. Still need to do the EXP bars, stat change and levelup particle effects, and the stuff that shows you how your stats changed. And making them flash on taking damage!
Do you like Pokemon Fangames? How about cool Pokemon Music?
Pokemon Uranium will be making an appearance on Radio Whirlwind’s special 6th anniversary podcast, along with the 5 other fangames shown above! Tune in for some exclusive developer commentary and shenanigans! Get HYPED!
Been chipping away for a few weeks, it’s starting to come together now. Unfortunately it means all the difficult stuff is still to come… like actually hooking things up properly to the battle engine.
The pokemon animation system is all coded and ready to go, but actually defining the animations is hard. So everyone just wiggles gently for now, until I write an animation editor.
