Pokemon Faze Version

A Team Faze Production
Hack of FireRed

Hi I'm Curt_09. You may have seen me before, you may not have,
offering help in the help threads or maybe even back on my first hack
Pokemon Crystal Onyx. Either way, I hope you'll get to recognize my
name and the names of my teammates in one way or another.
Well it's time for another go around in the world of hacking, and this
time with a great team behind me I know that this hack is destined for
success and completion.

Why am I playing this again?

Enter the region of Reole, a new landmass full of wonder and mystery
for you to explore. A very peaceful region, Reole has yet to have any
catastrophic events or worldwide-news-making spectacles.
The reason for this peace, although no one knows it, is a secret
peacekeeping organization known as the Ghost Agency. Ghost is
not known to anyone at all, and this allows them to do the jobs the
normal police couldn't, such as having agents working under deep cover.
Ghost is stationed in Atio City, a bustling tourist hotspot due to
the nearby Aero Lake.

You start as a student in the Atio Pokemon School. After handing the
headmaster's son (your rival) a bitter defeat in a school tournament
he challenges you to a rematch after hours. No students own any Pokemon,
instead the school has a storeroom full of Pokemon specially trained for
the students to battle with. To have this rematch, you and your
rival break into the school to get some Pokemon. Suddenly your
rival deserts you just as the headmaster enters and catches
you in the act. It seems suspicious how your rival knew just
when to leave you high and dry...
A week later you recieve an unmarked letter at your house.
You open it up to find an invitation to come join some kind of
Pokemon club called Ghost...

be greatly appreciated.

[Sarcastic Prince]

Good to see you back in for Hacking. I hope you the best of luck and I hope you won't quit your Hacks again.

[Chaos Dirge]

I'm not to into Fakemon. Also I hope that those are just outline drawlings of the starters and not the actual sprites.

[siper x]

great story!

seems like it's going to be good.

[mervyn797]

wow! no gyms?! thats interesting!

[siper x]

hows the progress?

are you going to be getting promotions like in toxic purple?

[Curt_09]

Yes, there will be no gyms. I quite like that idea in a hack. Love it, actually.
Progress? I've just been scripting when I can, touching up the maps a little, fixed up the first route how I want it, and continuation requires a lot more indoor mapping right now.
I'll get screenies tonight if I have time to make a lot of progress.
Okay, time to type that english paper...

[RSC ELiTE]

The video is awesomez !!!!!!!

[machomuu]

What the heck? Only 8 post? c'mon people, this hack is pretty awesome. The names everything are pretty good, the maps are good, the story is interesting and well organized, and the features seem like something to look forward to. Good luck...In fact, I'll beta test for you if you'd like.

Nice, why don't you put our banner in your sig then?

[Curt_09]

Nice, why don't you put our banner in your sig then?

Technically you don't have the banner either. :P

Update: Dang, this thing seems to take up permanent residence on the second page. No matter what, that's always where it is.
Progress is being made people, at however slow increments. I have other things going on...
Oh well, here is a screenshot to show part of the latest script. In this shot your are reading a letter.
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot1.png
It's not much, but maybe there can be more to show tonight. Right now I have to take a break because my laptop needs to charge.

[Teapot Turret]

Oh wow! Awesome thread!

WTF is with the 25 characters??!?!

[Tudj]

This hack looks pretty good, the fakemon look ok but if I were you i would give them better names. Is the whole hack just going to be fakemon though, or will there only be a few.

[Teapot Turret]

It's not going to be JUST Fakemon. It's about 25 fakemon. Yes, I'm part of the team. And Yes, I have made some of his fakemon.

[Curt_09]

What's wrong with the names? I slaved over those... Well, the Briobulb line anyway.

@Teapot - I actually have 53 planned fakemon, I just haven't gotten around to making "art" of them all yet. I was actually planning to finish some more soon, but I tore my hand up in the batting cage today...

Sorry, no more visible progress today.

[Chaos Dirge]

Fizriket reminds me of a steak, and tadroli reminds me of Sushi. XD

THe bulb is ok though. XD

[Curt_09]

Finally, an update!
No progress beyond whatever RSC has mapped in the past few days (which is actually quite a bit), but he made a video of everything scripted so far.
Please ignore the tile errors at the the bottom of the beginning room, and the block errors with the blue door and the flowers.
Scroll on up to see the video.
Great job RSC.

Edit - I hijacked the embed and added it to the first post.

[5qwerty]

Man, this hack is good, but only 53 Fakemon? I was expecting more!
The video looks really good.
But the starters seem a bit...8 colored, if you know what I mean.

Curt may add more... But that will be between him and the spriters... and meh! hehe! xD

[5qwerty]

Okay, now I just realized that these Fakemon look flat. You should try to add some more shading.

[Curt_09]

I'll try sometime, but I don't know where TehSquidly has gotten off to...
Kirbychu is working too, but I think he's busy a lot. I think everyone is.
I'm definitely going to lighten that dark part of Briobulb's outline.

[siper x]

this is looking good.
i like how the base is in the mart.

will you get promotions in the game?

[Ash493]

This made a good progress...
Your tiles are really good...
Good luck man.

[Neo-Wolf]

Nice World Map .
Didn't this hack win the HotW ?

Eh, it looks like it kind of did...
I wonder why three votes for Dawn Rainbow weren't counted?

Man, I can't believe it's been over a week since anyone posted here.

[Curt_09]

Update time! Screenshots!
Okay guys, why the heck hasn't this thread seen any action in almost a month?
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot2.png http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot3.png
Just some shots of the inside of the Ghost HQ.
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot4.png http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot5.png
The entrance to a forest.

I'd like feedback, opinions, support, etc. (on the hack and ideas as a whole, not the screenies (but you're welcome to comment on those too))

[siper x]

the maps look prety good, but in
the top ones there isn't shading from the
boxes like there is from the walls.

bottom left the tree on the right of the
squares top part looks a little funny

but outside of that looks good.

[Curt_09]

Okay, so I've been doing a bit of rearranging inside of the Ghost base (I also fixed those shadows, siper).
But, more importantly, I think I know the direction I want to go in terms of the hero's look (the heroine will follow suit).
It's not final yet, I'll most likely change the hair color as well as do some tweaking.
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Hero2.png
I decided to whip this up this afternoon since I was bored. Opinions?
Support Faze!

[tiago_2000]

can you send to me the download link??S

[Sarcastic Prince]

can you send to me the download link??S

There isn't a download link, and even there is one, Curt wouldn't sent it to you.

Learn how to read next time, newbie.

Anyways, nice updates, Curt.
That Trainer Sprite is the Hero, right?

[Curt_09]

Thanks, and yes it is. I'm working on the heroine as well, and then I just have to get them a matching palette.

[5qwerty]

Nice updates, and are all the first forms going to have those type of eyes?

[aquadan]

WOW that video was awesome

Good luck!

[Curt_09]

Thanks guys.
5querty, what do you mean? If you mean the kind that Briobulb and Fizrikit have, triangular with color inside, then yes.

[RSC ELiTE]

I am "soooo" ready for work. Now I'm in school mode I should be okay for mapping and I might try doing some nice pictures of the starter pokemon!
Later

Okay, cool. Sorry I've left you cold for so long. I'm going to try to work on the plot and scripting for the Ghost base tonight and tomorrow, hopefully I'll get it done (after Calc, Govt, Chem, bleh). Then I can send it back over to you for whatever you wanna do. Maybe the routes north and west of Atio?

Anyway, for everyone else reading this, please give feedback and support Faze Version!

[Aberbecam]

Sorry if i am mistaken But wasn't that Rom Base was made by Synyster_Ziekku aka. Synyster_Lili? You have to credit him for that and if you inserted the tiles by your self then you don't need to credit him. xD

[.Tactic.]

Hey Curt Nice Updates - When can I do some work?

[Curt_09]

I'm too lazy to research whether Synyster_Ziekku made a similar ROM-base, but I can tell you that you are mistaken as far as my ROM-base. These are all Alistair (maybe Reck too, I can't remember) tiles inserted by me.
Trust me, I'm not some noob who just takes stuff from everywhere, conglomerates it in a heap of crap, and calls it a ROM hack.

Hey Curt Nice Updates - When can I do some work?

You can do the titlescreen if you want, although it might be tough since I've already fiddled around with it. Maybe the basic three OW frames for the hero?
Either way, I still have to come up with a good titlescreen idea...
Scratch that, spriter's resource is back up. Can you recolor the forest area image to something more sinister? Ghostly, dark, purple/indigo-ish... You know the effect. We'll then use that as a background on the titlescreen.

Now, to just get a decent-looking logo or something...
Also, does anyone have any good ghostly silhouettes? Those would look pretty cool on there.

I don't like the outline of the trees and such, The white pixels really need to be changed. It doesn't suit it... apart from that... nice...

[.Tactic.]

I fixed It But Cant be bothered to post it.

[blendaz]

I don't like the title-screen but the story is quite nice. Good luck :]

[RSC ELiTE]

I fixed It But Cant be bothered to post it.I liked the one u showed curt, with the beac... tht was amazing!

[Curt_09]

The oceanview one? I liked it as well, but that one doesn't exactly suit this hack...
The dark forest is more fitting for the storyline and the overall theme.

Fair enough... :) .

Small update:
I've finally done some more scripting, as well as a little hex editing...
I present to you the first in a long line of custom multichoice boxes.
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww112/Curt_rocks_09/Screenshot6.png
Don't worry, I had to do quite a few scripts leading up to this point as well, so progress is being made.

Well, they haven't exactly been going lately. My computer has been in the shop, although before that the end of semester got kind of crazy, and the hack got pushed back. I think it's about time to breathe new life into this thing though.
