Come - Enter my castle, but be warned - you will never leave

One Dark Story Night three years ago....You woke up from a dream about three scary monsters...









You heard voices from outside and decided to check it out... Your father and your best friend's father were talking, about something to do with you and your friend...

All you could do was rush straight at him when you heard the words 'How do I tell him that we are leaving?' from your father! tears in your eyes, and his, he bends down and tells you to be strong... he gives you a pokemon, imported from aroud the earth, a choice... Charmander, Tododile or Turtwig....

...

he runs down the bridge and leaves behind the pokeballs, 'the choice is yours son, make me proud!'

Two Years later....

Your 12th birthday, a message is delivered from a well-known source, your father... is missing... and so is your friend's!Present day...

Your best friend is now a pokemon ranger, he has a minun/pachirisu/plusle, you are a trainer, having collected all the badges in the area, you are to go to the pokemon league! but all that is left behind when as they walk to the river bank together, both you and the ranger see a new pokemon, going into a castle...

you and your friend go in! its too late when you notice that the castle wasnt there before! and worse...
you've been locked in!
You need to get out! you both start exploring, going seperate ways... soon you stumble across a portal to another world, you walk in, you are in some kind of strange world where time doesnt move and three pokemon are battling feircely... including the one you saw in the building!
you are terrified... this was the nightmare you had the night before your father left, flashbacks, pressure, memories that were forgotton, all at once... they returned!
you were suddenly in a region different to before, the (...) region!
Suddenly Ombrenus(mysterious pokemon) fired a aura beam at volchaos!!!! It dogded making the beam go straight at you!!!! (everything fades out)
You wake up in a hut, an old man is leaning over you, you ask him what has just happened and he explains the prophecy of the 3 elements! he tells you that a chosen one would come from nowhere and save all worlds!!!!
....You suddenly know your quest!! - Then he tells you the worst part! .... your father is not only missing... but is dead, "He left you a message though.... that you must defeat team claw and the thirteen kings...
or not only will this world be engulfed by the mysterois darkness... so will yours!
you need to save your other world from being engulfed by darkness, and the only way.. is to battle the 13 kings of (...)
Then get the pokemon you saw to stop a fight that threatens to destroy all existence!!!
betrayal lies ahead, escpeccially when you find out who killed your father!

Okay time for comments. The trainers sprite is...not that great. There is no shading on the (what I believe is) hair. The maps aren't new they're just really poor map edits. To be totally honest the palettes make me cringe. Just fix the trainers sprite and the map edits...and the dreadful palettes and this could be somehting good....

PS the title screen sprite is nice.

[.Tactic.]

ok thanks - we will work on it!

[Kyouya]

I dont see why you had to make anew thread but atleast we are in progressing hacks

[5qwerty]

The bag looks weird, if you know what I mean. Also good job.

[.Tactic.]

Thanks we are now getting more mapping done - but this time not from me - from a real mapper!

[5qwerty]

Who's helping you? How do you know if someone's a real mapper?

[.Tactic.]

no i mean someone from my hacking team Blazing Empire, DarkPrince is a really great mapper - when i said real mapper i meant like i am not really a real mapper - just a bad one :(
(a really bad one)

[Sarcastic Prince]

no i mean someone from my hacking team Blazing Empire, DarkPrince is a really great mapper - when i said real mapper i meant like i am not really a real mapper - just a bad one :(
(a really bad one)

DP's the Mapper? It's not suprising to see him mapping well.

[Crimson Stardust]

so there will be new screenies be up then??cannot wait for it...DP is really a great mapper..i know..xD

[.Tactic.]

It'll mean that we will hopefully have some really good screens!
For Dark Prince is the head mapper - and many people are saying how awesome he is!
He will make a great map!

[.Tactic.]

New Update Everyone!
Dark Prince has shown me a screen of the map! and it is great! He is just fixing a few features now, and then he will have the map fully done!

I am insanely excited! then we can finally catch up on some bug fixing then one more script and then...... maybe... just maybe.... A Demo!!!!!!

[zappyspiker]

Love the Story line and the different choices of Starters. Looks like it's gonna go well! Keep it up!

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - we are going to have the mapping for the first town completely redone soon - DarkPrince is working on it as i speak! Then we will probably insert the trainer sprites!

i have a new banner - if you wanna put it in your sig feel free to support us :D

[Neo-Wolf]

Great thread !
Feedback -
Minor Major
A trainer on the titlescreen looks odd . It's a Pokemon usually .
The OW sprite is not very good .
The bag needs to be changed .
The grass in the last screen does not look good .
Instead of ' 07Harris ' , it should say ' Team Blazing Empire ' to foster team spirit . Now it looks like one person made it .
You need to better your grammar . It may put people off .

Other than these , it looks good . The banners are excellent . ;)

Hmmmm - ok

1. The trainer thing is unique - it doesnt have to be the same as other peoples you know!
2. We will edit the OW
3. the bag will be changed
4. It will when we are done with it!
5. We are making it T.B.E anyway!
6. The grammar is because of yuuichi - he made the scrapbox thread - i copied the text

[Crimson Stardust]

so how is it going with this hack???
did you guys have edited the o/w of the hero??
any new update today?LoL...xD

[Kyouya]

and then...... maybe... just maybe.... A Demo!!!!!!
we are not close to having a ready beta the beta should be at least to the second gym and we arent at that yet


6. The grammar is because of yuuichi - he made the scrapbox thread - i copied the text You changed all the text but the story and where i said aerow had the idea of merging hacks and the storyline was written by you

[Crimson Stardust]

LoL..don't blame each other..just fix up the grammar and you guys are goo to go..

[Kyle Black]

Well.. i don't see any changes on maps this map looks
just like pallet town but it has an extra swimming pool if i may call it.
hear is the picture-

http://blazing-empire.webs.com/photos/Screens/1636%20-%20Pokemon%20-%20Fire%20Red%20Version.png

the for the backpack. its just plain backpack with no shading.
it looks really ugly with no shadings-

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/bag-1.png?t=1249132914

and for this map it just looks like the first route from FR/LG, but it only
contains and extra border line-

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/o.png?t=1249496073

and there are alot of pallet errors on this map, no offence-

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/random.png?t=1249496194

try to fix those errors and your hack will be good..

[.Tactic.]

Very true - thanks for mentioning :)

also - @yuuichi: Demo is before beta - it is a short alpha - very short alpha!

[onyx79]

nice hack!
I really like the storyline,also the screens looks promising (=
good luck with your hack,and I hope to see a beta\alpha soon

[.Tactic.]

Thank you - someone told me that we were in the league tables for Hack of the week- if thats true please vote people!

[5qwerty]

This hack looks really good, but how does it fit in with the storyline???

Off Topic: 07Harris, your avatar scares me.

[MegaPokemaniac]

looks pretty cool hack
but the hero sprite is not that great

[.Tactic.]

Yeah we will fix the OW

thanks for the compliement
It seems that we will never win HOTW though :(

*sighs*

[5qwerty]

Try to fix the hero's sprite up a notch, it looks, unhumanish.

Off topic - Yeah, my hack probably isn't going to win HotW either.

[.Tactic.]

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/th_curse.png
new banner - on the hack we are currently getting trainer sprites inserted!

[Ben.]

this looks great i really like the legendary pokemon looks good such a promising hack:)

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - the sprite is by our head spriter - the amasing Chimchar5!

He is making Everestus as i speak!

[Ben.]

Oh wow why do you not release the legendary to use but just the out line:P
that would be great

[.Tactic.]

Oh man - that would have been great - Oh well - we will do that with the main legendary :D

[Ben.]

and them as the hack get more popular you could add in tiny parts like eyes then mouth etc i fact i might do this with mine but you can do it aswell:)

[.Tactic.]

well i think i will do that with the main legendary so thanks for the idea :)

[Ben.]

loads of suspense make it interesting, and exiting

[.Tactic.]

I totally understand - we are currently inserting the Castle tile - it is gigantic and took ages to recolour!

[5qwerty]

You should ask chimchar5 to start working on a Volchaos OW, for the castle entering part.

[.Tactic.]

Oh yeah - but its not volchaos that enters the castle it is ombrenus the main legendary - and chimchar5 only does the fakemon battle sprites not the OW's - i do OW's! and so does onyx79

[5qwerty]

Oh, so that's why onyx79 voted for this in hack of the week, looks like you have a good chance!

[Ben.]

wow them new screen shots look great nice tiles aswell

[.Tactic.]

Oh, so that's why onyx79 voted for this in hack of the week, looks like you have a good chance!

Personally I dont think i have a chance at all

wow them new screen shots look great nice tiles aswell

Thanks all due to the magic of the all mighty.... DarkPrince(304)

he rocks

[Ben.]

Oh cool did you make them or insert them?
im getting confused

[Banjora Marxvile]

I take it that 07harris is inserting them, as he has learnt how to. (Congrats) I hope it looks good, by the way.

[.Tactic.]

we used a ROMBase but Banjora the great taught me how to tile-insert so now i can!
but there is this really hard to insert sprite that he kindly agreed to insert for me :)

should be done by Friday

[Banjora Marxvile]

Hopefully anyway, this will be the only piece of Tile Inserting I will do, as 07harris has learnt it, and is quite good at it.

Banjora the great... Wow, first time someone called me that. Should teach people more often...

Anyway, I'll get to work on that tomorrow, as it is getting late here.

[Ben.]

Oh anyway there great tiles the will look great in the game :)

[.Tactic.]

Hopefully anyway, this will be the only piece of Tile Inserting I will do, as 07harris has learnt it, and is quite god at it.

Banjora the great... Wow, first time someone called me that. Should teach people more often...

Anyway, I'll get to work on that tomorrow, as it is getting late here.

Yeah, getting quite late here too!
and about Banjora the Great - get used to it - thats your new nickname - from me anyway - cause you are awesome

and its getting late here too so i understand

and thanks for saying that i am good at it :)

[Ben.]

Yeah, getting quite late here too!
and about Banjora the Great - get used to it - thats your new nickname - from me anyway - cause you are awesome

and its getting late here too so i understand

and thanks for saying that i am good at it :)
he never said that you were good at it
and is quite god at it.
:P

[.Tactic.]

hahahahaha, lol funny!
god at it :P

[Ben.]

i know anyway XD
so did you manage to get the titlescreen logo?
becuase i could give it another shot

[.Tactic.]

I didnt manage sadly :(

and if you can... THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
Cause there are loads of people saying that i should replace it with a pokemon!
so when we have the sprite for Ombrenus i will ask and thanks :)

[Ben.]

Thanks btw this hack looks so promising i really want this hack to be one of the best out there and it defonetly has the potential to do that already do well done harris:)

[DiSCIclaimer]

this hack doesnt sound that bad... but i really dont like the trainer sprite, and the overworld..., and do you need more fusions pokemon or something? im really good at making them.. pm me if you need something drawn< :)

[zappyspiker]

I probably will once I get my messy banner sorted

Thank you - someone told me that we were in the league tables for Hack of the week- if thats true please vote people!

Where abouts?

[.Tactic.]

Where abouts?
well... in the Hack of the week thread no doubt - but we wont win :(
and i understand your 'messy banner'!

[Banjora Marxvile]

The castle is halfway through being inserted, so... Hopefully, should be done today. This tile is a nightmare...

[.Tactic.]

Oh i am sure you can have a nice massage and your name in the credits for all your hard work -
and i am not joking about the massage yuuichi will give it to you lol!

[Banjora Marxvile]

Done. Wow, wasn't as hard as I first thought. I've done all of the Tile Settings too, and put grass underneath the bits that need it, so now it should work well in game. YAY!

[.Tactic.]

That is awesome :
UPDATE:
The patch has been sent to mapper, DarkPrince304!
he will make the route similarly to Diamond/Pearl!

[Ben.]

That is awesome :
UPDATE:
The patch has been sent to mapper, DarkPrince304!
he will make the route similarly to Diamond/Pearl!
Oh cool what route is it going to be?

[.Tactic.]

thats the problem - sadly, DP is unable to so i am requesting the other mappers on the team.

[Crimson Stardust]

by "mappers",you mean you have more mapper other than DP??

[.Tactic.]

by "mappers",you mean you have more mapper other than DP??

Well - yeah - you are one!
so you should already know that :(

but DP is head mapper - and you are second in command mapper to him because he is the main mapper and none of the other mappers can do this job - dont tell yuuichi

[Crimson Stardust]

I am busy watching yu gi oh 5d..so i am not doing the map now..maybe later...xD

[.Tactic.]

Ok then - so hopefully when you have finished your yu-gi-oh you can do it :)
thats good :)

[Ben.]

how is that now lengery comming along or haven't you started?

[.Tactic.]

havent started - cause you dont battle him in the first demo anyway - you dont battle any of the legendarys in the first demo - later on yeah though - but we need to make some OWs for them cause you see those!

[Ben.]

Oh i see just wondering:P

[.Tactic.]

oh ok - once Ace Phantom finishes the map for the second route we will have superscripter, AEROW, make the scripts for the first demo - then edit some OW's and we will have a demo :)

[Crimson Stardust]

That will be great as i want to see what your hack are really like...xD

[.Tactic.]

lol - well it is up to your mapping at the moment XD

[Ben.]

i really like the choice of starters from all differnt games:)

[.Tactic.]

:) that's great - at first we were gonna have fakemon starters but we changed our minds :)

[.Tactic.]

hmmm well if being positive I want new tilez and palltez homy,yo yo zangy talking like this and like that

money doesn'tt grow and craxxxx
and now I want to see tilez paletez and ASM like mikal jakson did OK SOLJAAAA?
:| i dont understand man - please can you stop talking like that - i dont speak upside-down gangstah! :)

[Pave Low]

Hey! I can help with scripting and also the trainers Pokemon and the attacks they know. I would make it into a document then send it to you

[.Tactic.]

hmmmm - can you map?
because almost all our mappers are taking exams!

[Nabil]

that is super cool :D :) :) :) :)

[Pave Low]

Well, no. But I can do these:

Scripting
Pokemon in the wild and their levels. Percentage of catching them and where they are found.
Trainers/Gym Leaders/Elite 4 etc. Pokemon and levels

[.Tactic.]

hmmm - sorry i can only have you as scripter - cause the other things are easy

[Pave Low]

Thats alright, just give me the names of people you want me to script. Like the trainers, Gym leaders, and Elite 4.

[.Tactic.]

i will get you to do that later on ok - because for now we are struggling

[Pave Low]

How so? With the mapping? Also, I can get some Userbars done :D

[.Tactic.]

hmmm - yes with mapping

and hmmmm - you can make a userbar with the three starters on then yes

[Pave Low]

What sort of Background colour do you want?

[.Tactic.]

what ever you think is best - please make it look good it must fade in and out like the ones from Torzach

[Pave Low]

When will I be able to start scripting, then?

[.Tactic.]

when we get the mapping for the first demo done :)

dont worry it will take 2 weeks at most :)

[Pave Low]

Alright, fine! !

[.Tactic.]

ok so i think Ace phantom is doing the map - but not sure - he said he cant - now he just showed me a screen of it!

[Kyouya]

When will I be able to start scripting, then?
you need to so proof that you can script in the first place

[.Tactic.]

you need to so proof that you can script in the first place

Yeah - and besides you still havent completed the banner you said you were making!!!!

[5qwerty]

Hurry up and show us the castle already!

[.Tactic.]

um.. ok - we will show you the screen of it soon!

[Sarcastic Prince]

Yeah, the Castle seems interesting! Don't tell us that you're lying the whole time... which I don't like. *Begins to Suspect*

[.Tactic.]

Dont worry the mapper has finished - he is sending me the map now!
It is Amasing too!

[Sarcastic Prince]

Dont worry the mapper has finished - he is sending me the map now!
It is Amasing too!

Umm... who do you know if the Map is Amazing if the Mapper hasn't sent you the Map yet? But, still, I'm glad to hear that you're going to post screens soon.

[.Tactic.]

he shown me a screen
And I love it - plus he is a great mapper - Ace Phantom :)

[5qwerty]

Yuuichi still owns this?
How?

[.Tactic.]

He Doesnt - we both do - because we merged our stories remember?

[5qwerty]

That's all? I thought he was working on shock therapy...

[.Tactic.]

He is - and this aswell,
but he never actually pays attention to this one - so maybe i will fire him!

[Crimson Stardust]

YaY..i finally finish with the three maps for this hacks...xD{a relief}..
anyway guys just wait for 07harris to show the screens..i want to know your views on them...xD

[Neo-Wolf]

I can't wait to see the Castle ! Who made it's tile ?

[.Tactic.]

The castle tile is by Cope Tiles

[5qwerty]

I can't wait to see the Volchaos OW's.

It is the castle from the story :)

[Ash493]

Great castle tiles :)
It's really greatly made :)
But for some reason the trees on the route looks kinda weird xD

[.Tactic.]

Yeah - i inserted them wrongly - i am working on inserting different trees right away!

[Co500]

looking better and better 07 good luck!!

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - time to fully fix the OW :)

[Pave Low]

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - it was recoloured by yours truly!
And then inserted Banjora the Great!

[Pave Low]

So, I guess I can get scripting done soon!

[.Tactic.]

Yep...
but there is a bit of a change in plan!
Um.... After i ask Bzuma to fix the OW ( i cant do it)
... Master scripter Aerow will do some scripting, then you will do some minors!

[Pave Low]

Ok, then! I'll do what I have to do

[.Tactic.]

Thats great to hear!
Now.... ~Bzuma is almost done... just have to wait!

[Sarcastic Prince]

Awesome work, Harris. You've done an amazing job on the Castle Tiles. The Routes are nicely mapped. Great one you! Keep up the Good Work. Farewell. For now.

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - I spent a long time recoulering the castle - and then Banjora helped me to insert due to size!

Routes were mapped with the help of Ace Phantom - and Edited and Inserted by yours truly!

[Hedgehogger]

I really like the implementation of D/P tiles in some places (i.e. Diagonal/"Forward" stairs), and the trees in the first couple of screenshots look really nice...

But aside from the main character's Overworld and a few palettes, the castle looks a bit...funny.
What I mean is that, it looks too 3-D-ish, compared to the rest of its surroundings. Maybe if the shading was a bit different? I don't know. Other than that, this doesn't look too bad.

[Ash493]

I really hope you'll win the HoTW this week.
Because ya really deserve it.
I vote for ya of course

[.Tactic.]

Oh thanks man :)
I hope that people vote - but I honestly wouldnt count on it :(
Because only you voted for us :(

[.Tactic.]

New Update:
Please People of the forums...
We need your help to decide which sprite would go better with the main legendary, Ombrenus.
My Sprite
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/th_Ombrenus.png - This may seem to be facing the wrong way - but if you look - the body is facingone side and the head the other - this is because It is signifies darkness shadows and Anti-social behaviour if you know what i mean ^_^

Yuuichi's Sprite!

[Neo-Wolf]

I think that Yuuichi's sprite ha better shape but Harris's sprite is better colored .
Awesome castle !

[Master Terrador]

I've Underestimated You...
Thats a nice castle, Its kinda impressive...
Though...The Hero's OW Hair looks kinda flat...:\
And That Title screen I Think should be a pokemon IMO...

BTW...I Think your Sprite is Better IMO...
It has much better texture and shading~
You Should put your main legendary on the title...:)

[Pave Low]

Yeah, the hero looks kinda weird

[.Tactic.]

Wait....
Is that a vote for me? or for Yuuichi?

Thanks about the castle :)
As I mention loads - the OW is being fixed!
And the Legendary that wins will be in the title!
But Thats a vote for me ^_^ so yay!

Yeah, the hero looks kinda weird
We are going to change it to the winning Legendary sprite!

[Crimson Stardust]

Actually,i am not gonna vote for either sprite.I think they need to be resprite or be improved on..after that then i will vote...
it is just if either of them were to be a legendary,it will not look nice

[.Tactic.]

You think so?
Hmmm - Well if any more people say this then we will have to postphone a lot of things - like making the legendary OW!

[Kyouya]

We are going to change it to the winning Legendary sprite!
i dont think he was talking about it being on tile screen i think he was talking about sprite

[.Tactic.]

Yeah but before he told me that the actual sprite was pretty good and that it was the fact that it is on the titlescreen he doesnt like!

[5qwerty]

They both look, great? I don't know really.

[Neo-Wolf]

I think Harris should recolor Yuiichi's sprite .
Request : Please change the Hero OWs ! No one likes them . It looks like a Kung-Fu Maniac.

[.Tactic.]

How many times do we have to say that they are being changed as I speak!

[Neo-Wolf]

Sorry .
I was just pointing that out . :(

[ZeroEXE001]

the sprite for the trainer isn't that good but anyway it was pretty great

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - please can everyone stop commenting on the OW for a while because we will have the update on it soon!

[Kyouya]

i recolored my ombrenus
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1262/ombrenus2.png

[5qwerty]

That looks better than before Yuuichi, but shouldn't you make the wings another color, other than blue? And if it were to be put into a game, it would have to face bottom-left.

[.Tactic.]

Its not much of an improvement -
But its better than a pink starter!

[~Kian~]

i recolored my ombrenus
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1262/ombrenus2.png

very cool sprite better in blue ;)

i know its annoying but i have to say something to help you improve thats what people did to me~: little tip

try to make sure that when you make a sprite that the lightest part should be at a

north-west angle
or on a clock face about 10

maybe add a few more colors it looks a bit plain i know this may sound hypacritacal when im not much of a spriter but just wanted too help some more

but other than that looks great :)

~kian

[Kyouya]

Its not much of an improvement
But its better than a pink starter!
:\ it wasnt pink it was purple and what does a starter have to do with it and i did not say it was an improvement just a recolor since 5qwerty said it was a bad pallete

is that a vote for mine

[.Tactic.]

Sorry I was rushing I didnt mean starters - I meant Legendary!

_
I dont think that was a vote at all - just him giving you some tips on Spriting!

[5qwerty]

Yuuichi honestly:
Your sprite would look like a DP styled Pokemon (what I mean is good) if you just followed these two steps:
1. Make it facing bottom-left
2. Use some more colors

[Kyouya]

i think this looks like its looking to bottom left

[.Tactic.]

That just ruined it!
And made it way too big!

[5qwerty]

How is that too big? Yuuichi, try a different pose.

[.Tactic.]

Oh sorry -
I just thought that the proportion was wierd!
^_^

[Co500]

LOOKING GOOD! cant wait to go into the tower

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - I have a new tree tile do you guys think I should add it?

The tree tile is good but i don't think this will be good in the hack.Which tree will you be replcing this with??if the main trees,this look abit thin..xD..maybe to me only

[.Tactic.]

I am not actually saying that I will add it...
I am asking the opinion of the forums as to whether or not I should!

[Neo-Wolf]

How's EC coming up , Harris ?

[.Tactic.]

It is going fine - But since nobody is voting about the Ombrenus sprite - then we will just have to go with the one with the most vites :(
http://i89.servimg.com/u/f89/14/19/42/26/th/treeim10.png
I fixed the tree - thhink I shoul add now?

[Sora's Nobody]

I really like the storyline its mice and original, I hope you finish it!

[Sarcastic Prince]

The Tree looks pretty good! You should add it! It'll ace through FR Trees!!! :)

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - The OW seems to be taking longer than we thought!
But no-worrys it will be done soon!

In the Meantime - all you E.C fans can vote for it in HOTW!

[Samme!]

Hey looks good so far Harris! The only thing is that the side view of the protagonist's hair is kind of kooky :P But I can't wait to see the final product!

[.Tactic.]

Thanks Samme - But I can't help getting the feeling that this hack isnt good enough!
I mean... no-one likes it or is even posting!

And I got an idea for another hack - and it is a totally original Idea that I love but I am working on this - so if anyone wants the hack to continue - please tell me - so that I actually know someone might want to play it!

[Sarcastic Prince]

Thanks Samme - But I can't help getting the feeling that this hack isnt good enough!

You should continue workin' on this. After all this Hard Work, you just wanna throw this to the Bin/Can? I like this Hack. And that means, I'll play it. Everythin' is good, except for OW's. But meh, the other idea should be for the next Hack, not this one.

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - I hope that means that once we fix the OW you'll maybe support us?
I dont think we have one single supporter!
Not Even me! lol!

To many userbars ruin a signature - but maybe just one is ok!

[Neo-Wolf]

I think your continuing of the Hack depends on whether the other idea is good or not .

[.Tactic.]

The other Idea... It is simply amasing!

but... I have decided not to abandon this hack, atleast not until I release atleast a demo :)

[Neo-Wolf]

Can you tell me the other idea .

[.Tactic.]

Sorry - It is classified - For my future use only!

[5qwerty]

I think I know... You know...

[Banjora Marxvile]

Yep, and it is a good idea as well!

Anyway, so, you are sticking with this. Good, as the castle wants to be used! I can't wait for the release!

[Neo-Wolf]

Dude , are you thinking that I am gonna steal your idea /
Still , its your opinion ... so Ok . :)

[.Tactic.]

No - I would never think that man!
Its just better left a surprise :)

[Neo-Wolf]

Ok . I see . I will wait for it to be started . :)

[.Tactic.]

Who thinks I should insert this building?
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/th_House.png
It is the first building I have ever made so please dont be too harsh!

[5qwerty]

Well, that looks half good half bad...
The chimney looks good, but the satellite doesn't look that good/round.
The windows and bricks look good, but the roof, if looks bad...

[Kyouya]

And I got an idea for another hack - and it is a totally original Idea that I love but I am working on this - so if anyone wants the hack to continue - please tell me - so that I actually know someone might want to play it!
even if you do a different hack ill just have full power lol

[.Tactic.]

Not really...
because you are doing a different hack -
If what you said was true then at the moment I should have full power!

[Kyouya]

Not really...
because you are doing a different hack -
If what you said was true then at the moment I should have full power!
no i mean if you quit this hack and still for a week mine is canceled til i can get back my files

[.Tactic.]

Oh...
well I wont ^_^

Is it ok if we use my sprite as the main legendary - and yours as an event pokemon?

[Kyouya]

Oh...
well I wont ^_^

good

Is it ok if we use my sprite as the main legendary - and yours as an event pokemon?
why not the other way around

[.Tactic.]

Because mine kinda looks more like a sinister dark ghost pokemon style!

And yours looks like a bug type

[Kyouya]

Because mine kinda looks more like a sinister dark ghost pokemon style!thats just your opinion

And yours looks like a bug type
and no it doesnt

[.Tactic.]

That is what Other people told me man, and the eyes on yours are all cute and so is the grin - it looks cheeky - not at all as sinister as mine :(

2 other people have told me this, I think it was Ace and Banjora - but I am not sure!

[Ash493]

Congrats Harris ;)
Ya finally made it :)
Your hack won this week's HoTW award :)

[Megiddo-san]

Congratulations on hack of the week number 78. Here is your award.

Thanks it will definetely boost me up ^_^

I will be bothering Bzuma about the OW - he is taking forever!

[Crimson Stardust]

haha..maybe he is busy with his hack..xD

[.Tactic.]

Yeah maybe -
Or maybe it is just for the same reason that he hasnt been online for awhile!

[Crimson Stardust]

anyway,aren't you a o/w maker??

[.Tactic.]

Yes, Yes I am,
I made the OW, but I got my shading atnd shape a bit crazy so Bzuma is helping out :)

[.Tactic.]

Soon man -
It'll be quite a long time - but I garauntee it'll be awesome!

[Neo-Wolf]

Congrats on the HotW . It really deserved this .

[~Areku-San]

Hi ^w^.
The tiles are'nt very fine...
And the minisprite is a few ugly ._.

(I watch only the first images XD)
Well, good luck ^w^and congrats for the award of the week (I never won it T_T)
Hehe.
See you!

[.Tactic.]

Um... Thanks I guess - we will ofcourse be changing the OW and the Tiles

[Crimson Stardust]

hmm...will there be any new screenies for us to see..as the updates are like quite sometime ago.

[.Tactic.]

I am attempting Titlescreen editing!
Isnt that great?
But I probably wont succeed :(
And sadly updates will come even slower!
That's cause of school!

[SMan9090]

Looks great!

I really dig the story! Good luck with that!

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - we will be Editing the titlescreen text - because I know how - then we will move on to mapping the inside of the castle - there is still way more to go!

[LinK93]

ahahah now you can play with karate kid

[.Tactic.]

What are you talking about?1?
Karate-kid?

[.Tactic.]

I have mervyn doing titlscreen at the moment,
he is having slight preoblems though,
in other news the OW is almost done

[Tudj]

This hack is looking pretty good, the castle looks good, but I don't really like what the protagonist looks like. Good Luck on continuing.

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - As Usual I guess I'll say that we are at slow progress for some reason... But hopefully will be ready for demo by the end of the month!

[Crimson Stardust]

by the end of the month??i thought you have all the things done??only left some few more things..xDguees i was wrong

[.Tactic.]

No I only said that because all the things that were finishing off seemed to be taking forever!

But Yay! The OW's done!

[Neo-Wolf]

Demo by the end of the month ?
Really cool .
Can you show the OW ?

[.Tactic.]

For Some reason Bzuma won't upload it :(

[MC Blaze]

Sounds Good, can't wait to plaY!

[Crimson Stardust]

For Some reason Bzuma won't upload it :(
either he forgot to uplaod it or maybe he is busy...LoL..just remind him to upload it..anyway,can't wait for new updates...

[Neo-Wolf]

I looked at the castle you are using for the Titlescreen.. it was awesome. Really spooky.

[.Tactic.]

Uh... thanks I guess.. But the background was repointed and we cant find it so not possible :(

But I have updates atleast :)

[Neo-Wolf]

Well, the Trainer sprite seems a bit fuzzy.
The bootscreen is a bit empty. But nice.

[.Tactic.]

Thanks - I know I made a glitch with the sprite inserting... But I will fix soon!

[Kyouya]

Thanks - I know I made a glitch with the sprite inserting... But I will fix soon!

[Neo-Wolf]

Wow! Any screenshots in the near future?

[Crimson Stardust]

so you got new tiles...hope to see the new screens soon..

[Banjora Marxvile]

New tiles? Wow, that solves the tree and mountain thing, but there is still the pallette of the big tree, if that wasn't changed, where 1 colour on it was too dark. Is that fixed?

[.Tactic.]

so you got new tiles...hope to see the new screens soon..
Ye we got loads

New tiles? Wow, that solves the tree and mountain thing, but there is still the pallette of the big tree, if that wasn't changed, where 1 colour on it was too dark. Is that fixed?
The trees that were black look fine now ^_^

[Banjora Marxvile]

The trees that were black look fine now ^_^
but i might need your help because when i inserted the pc i ruined the house and cant fix it!

Well, that is just a pallette issue at a guess. Just change all the house pallettes that are wrong from the PC's pallette to the Marts pallette, as they use the same colours, bar the red to the blue.

[NarutoActor]

maps need work the overworld player looks weird the catsel looks amazing ,but the pokemon center dosent look that good overall it looks nice good job

[.Tactic.]

now arent these screenies something!
Thanks Pal ^_^
