Pokémon Scarlet Version

[Houndoomed]

That's tough. i really want to play it.....so, i hope its how everyone expects it, is the whole thing gonna come out or does it stop at the demo?

I'm gonna repeat it just because I like repeating it :P

The demo will go as far as Metrostone City, or in other words, the second city. You will also get to visit 2 other towns and another city, along with a few routes and a forest. You get to battle the gym leader, Grant, who uses Rock type. There will be a total of about 20 custom Pokémon from Koyoto, and another 20 catchable non-Koyoto Pokémon available.

The 2nd demo should be much better, with a newly designed Pokédex, possibly new graphics, a new layout for the Pokémon stats screens, many new Pokémon and more. It should have a total of 4 towns and 4 cities, and should end after you get the 3rd gym badge. This demo should be released by the end of the year. After this demo, the complete game will be released. It will have all Koyoto Pokémon, all towns and cities, and everything else. This should be released by mid/late 2009. It's going to take a lot of work, so I think Lorem Ipsum should take attention to all of what I said.

Good to hear a demo is on its way! ^^
Also, why r u not in charge anymore and who's in charge now?

If you read my post in the Farewell topic, you'll see the reason why I have left. Lorem Ipsum is now in charge.

[§ώαmραrt]

This game looks awesome.
Any demos to come? Any release dates?
I esspecially like the new Pokemon.
I'd add more features though, like up to Lv. 150 or something (example)
But, I'll support it, it looks great.
Now you just need a wesite or something.

[megatyler3]

when is the demo coming out?

[dpokemaniac12]

how can i play it
pleaze tell me the pokemon look awesome
how do you edit the pokemon also

[Lorem Ipsum]

Right, the next person to ask when the demo is released is going to find their post reported. It clearly states in the board rules not to ask when release dates are.

dpokemaniac12, you will be able to play the game simply by downloading it when it is uploaded, and then simply running it.

[pimp13]

u got some really nice looking fakemon

[el_shanana]

looking good, l really like atlantia

~Update July 9th 08 - SCREENIE GOODNESS!~

Yes, I had to copy all of the other game makers and make my updates look like theirs because it looks simply awesome XD
So credit to them.

Wow, I haven't updated this thread in a loooooong time. So here's a load of brand new screenies showcasing how far we've come!

http://i34.tinypic.com/15psoqr.jpg

Here you can see a preview of Rosenut City, Selwood Forest and the massive Metrostone City! <3

What exactly is this legend the locals of Rosenut are talking about? What does that strange sign mean? And what the heck is the Light Creature? Keep watching to find out...

And it looks like Clair is further on than you are.. yet no sign of the Professor...

There will be a new update when this thread reaches 275 posts. Or maybe sooner, if I feel like it. But you guys aren't exactly making me feel like posting a new update yet XD

[/css-div]

[Mitchman Is]

WTF! You back?! Please tell me your back. If so yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
YOUR BACK! I definetly hope to see more and i hope your back. Bol!

[Houndoomed]

No, I am not back. Sorry if I gave anyone high hopes lol.

I will probably finish this demo off to the end, and I've had a bit of help from Lorem Ipsum. Then I'll be off again and he will be continuing from there. It's just that the demo is taking longer than expected, and I wanted to help speed things up. So by the look of it, we're looking at a demo release date of 15th July or so. Don't be disappointed because I won't be a part of the project anymore.

[Mitchman Is]

Damn. Oh well i got to hopeful. Also how was new york? Did you try the pizza?

[Houndoomed]

Updated my previous post with a new, less-boring layout. And yes darkcookie, I really enjoyed New York, thanks for asking =D

Anyways, please post your comments people!

[ryushin5]

can't wait to see the demo houndoomed this game looks great

[Yuoaman]

Darn! Why do I miss you every time you come on! And I can't even see it! (I'm on my PSP o_O) Anyway, its probably great : D

Also, it is nice to hear you had a good time : D

[Atomic_Reactor]

hmm.
good to see your still active :3

the screenies look good!

jsut a thought tho.
since "light creature" in the girls speech thing seems to be a title for the pkmn. shouldnt it be capitalized?

jsut a htought.

keep up the great work!

[InMooseWeTrust]

It looks like your back sprite could use some work.

Good job on noticing =D
But I fixed it before you even posted that XD

I guess it could, but our spriter says trainer sprites aren't her specialty... she's awesome at Pokemon back sprites though!

~Update July 12th 08 - NEW LOOK TO HAZELBRANCH TOWN~

Now I know you haven't seen the starter town in a very long time, but that's because I've never been happy with it. It's changed many, many times. My guess is around 7 or 8. But now I think I finally found a look that I think is perfect for it, so here it is. Presenting: Hazelbranch Town!

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3166/capture001or8.png
Clair, your rival's, new house.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/594/capture003xf7.png
Coming in from Route 51.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3996/capture000pe2.png
Good on ya!

Not much of an update, I know, but's it's all you're getting for now D:

And if anyone has a suggestion for a new, better name, please post it! I think it could do with one =P

And the expected demo release date is still July 15th. That's only 3 days away! If we manage to get to 275 posts before then, I'll release some yummy new screens showing off events like the Intro, getting your first Pokémon and more! If not, tough luck XD
[/css-div]

[Archayos]

-looks at update style being stolen-

lol just kidding, just kidding. But seriously, this is really looking good! Changing the
pattern on your grass would probably be a good idea, though. Your maps look kinda
bland. Now I'm not telling you to the change the palette colors, just the pattern on
the grass.

Apart from that, I'm really looking forward to the demo! Hurry up with it! :P

(*check first post, I credited Krimm :P*)

Thanks. I guess I could change the pattern, but I use the Nintendo pattern and that seems to be the cleanest =/
But I can give it a shot to see what it looks like.

The demo will be ready soon, hold yer' horses! XD

And something I've been thinking about a lot lately - should we have custom graphics? I mean, not EVERYTHING being custom, just trees, signs, grass etc. But I don't know which to use D:

[Atomic_Reactor]

Custom trees in SOME areas, actually, anything custom that looks good would be fine. But you don't want everything to be custom. Maybe some custom grass in the beginning town.
Custom trees on an island (if any, havnt looked at world map) Custom buildings in a town.

You know, jsut here and there.

[Houndoomed]

[css-div="padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; border: dashed 1px #0099FF; width: 380px; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]

~Update July 13th 08 - WHO'S THAT POGEYMAN?~

Houndoomed here.. as usual...
Well, not exactly an update today, but I do have a little surprise for you! A new addition to our Pokédex.. but you can't see it yet D:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/DragonMistress/Mysterymon1.png

I'll reveal it only when someone guesses correctly what it is.. or if they come close enough. The winner also gets to see its evolved form before it gets revealed here! If you already know what it is, please don't tell as it will spoil it for everyone else.
Here is a small hint:

Hint: I'm small, adorable and like to play, but make me angry and feel my pain.

[/css-div]

Yeah, I get you.. But could you recommend any graphics? I'm not too great making these kinds of decisions for myself o.o.

[TeddiursaFan]

Is the Pokemon hedgetox? It makes sense if it is because of the spikes and looks like a hedgehog.

[Houndoomed]

No, it isn't Hedgetox, but you are very close ;)

It isn't in the Pokédex at all at the moment.

[ryushin5]

is it a porcupine because the hint "it's small an adorable and likes to play" like a porcupine "but if u make me angry feel my pain" like if u get a porcupine angry it will shoot it's quills at u am i right

[Atomic_Reactor]

Like what do you mean, you wanna link to custom tiles?
Well, if you go to the pixel art area theres a nice htread called the "More tiles from me" (which is alastairs tiles)

and then kyldove has some somewhere, not the sinnoh set, a different one.

yeah, im going to say its some sort of hedge hog.

[Houndoomed]

Everyone so far has been pretty close. It isn't a hedgehog or a porcupine, but it's related to them. I just need you to get the animal right.

Oh, and seeing as the demo will be coming in just two days, I've decided that I won't be releasing any more screenshots, as I don't want to spoil the demo for you any more. Sorry about that, I just thought we'd get 275 posts quicker.

I kind of meant whose custom graphics are the best to use. I might give Kyledove's a try though.

[Atomic_Reactor]

I would suggest either Kyldoves or Don Patch's( his name is Alastair now)
Those would be the best

Neo Eras has been using Kyldoves.

The only thing other than hedge hog and porcupine would be uh...
actually i have no idea what else it could be <_<

Oh.. does that mean I shouldn't use them? Seeing as they're using them too, our games might look similar if I decide to use them.
If I chose new trees, whose tiles do you think would be the best? I'm getting sick of the same old FR/LG ones now >.<

Anyway, since no one seems to know what it is yet, I'll give you another hint..

Hint 2: Knuckles.

If no one gets it by 9PM GMT tonight, I'm going to reveal it anyway.

[sonic smash down]

an enchidcha? (spellin i know is off srry)
well at least its good to see you finish the demo before u go man. headin to blue bayou today so i wont be able to see if i was right.

~Update July 14th 08 - It's... Urkle!~

sonic smash down got it right! Everyone else was pretty close though, better luck next time! Anyway, it's time to reveal the Pokémon...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/DragonMistress/25-Urchid.png

Name:: Urckle
Type(s):: http://www.pokemonacanthite.com/images/types/water.gif
Species:: Urchin Pokémon

Aww, isn't it cute?! Believe it or not, it's actually an Echidna Sea Urchin. Stay tuned to discover Urkle's evolution... and more important, the very first Pokémon Scarlet demo! All coming very soon...

'Til next time,
Houndoomed.

[/css-div]

[KageX]

oh my god houndoomed that is the cutest pokemon i think ive ever seen, very creative though fusing an urchin with an echidna

[sonic smash down]

got to agree wit kage on that one, it really is cute. and an urchine combined wit it nice. and thankz do i win some kind of prize lolz (kiddin :P)
anyways nice update man cant wait to see the demo.

[TeddiursaFan]

I wish I was logged in after you posted this. I would of guessed it right away then. Also, nice idea about combinding animal with an urchin, quite unique (kind of reminds me of the johto pokemon in a way that they are both exotic).

[Houndoomed]

Some slightly bad news guys.. pretty much everything in the demo is done yet, but we're still working on the events and gym, so the demo might not be ready by today. I never promised you the demo would be coming today, but I DO promise you it will be coming before the end of this week. We just want EVERYTHING to be 100% perfect for the demo, so I hope you can understand..

Also, this demo will just be to show off things like our storyline and gameplay. Things like minigames, new features, new graphics and different tiles should all be included in the next demo.

By the way, I just know you're going to love Metrostone City =D

[Mitchman Is]

OH ok cool. But this means we get a final goodbye from you. WAH!

[Atomic_Reactor]

all's good.
do what you want with the demo. we can wait.
But yeah, i thought you were leaving a long time ago? or is it after the demo? lame.
you shouldn't leave :(

~Update July 16th 08 - URKLE'S EVO AND A BRAND NEW POKéMON!~

Good evening fine members of PokeCommunity, it'sa me, Houndoomed. Today I have a new update for you. Two new Pokémon, both designed by our very own Strelitzia!

Say hello to Urkle's also adorable evo!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/DragonMistress/26-Punkchinneo.png

Name:: Punkchin
Type(s):: http://www.pokemonacanthite.com/images/types/water.gif/http://www.pokemonacanthite.com/images/types/poison.gif
Species:: Puncture Pokémon


And beware of its cuteness... it's SHLEEP!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/DragonMistress/40-shleep.png

Name:: Shleep
Type(s):: http://www.pokemonacanthite.com/images/types/psychic.gif
Species:: Woolly Pokémon

So what do you think? Awesome, aren't they? And yes, Shleep also has an evo, but you won't be seeing it for a while. Well, I'll be back with another update for you soon. Hopefully it shall be the demo, but we've got to work fast...

Seeya next time!
Houndoomed.

[/css-div]

[Manio]

I love the evo and Shleep. Very good,cannot wait to see next update

[lalala12]

I love Shleep <3 Really curious what his evo will look like.

[Mitchman Is]

Shleep ftw. But somehow that evo reminds me of finnieon.

[Houndoomed]

It uses Finneon's palette. Perhaps they're supposed to look similar, some sea creatures are like that.

[Atomic_Reactor]

AWWW!! your artists are s good at what they do ^_^
I can't wait until the demo :)

[Mitchman Is]

KK. Hows the beta goin? I mean is it goin bad? Cause that would mean doomsday. You leaving after it and all.
Im jsut concerded thats all and oc i want a beta. But not now. Mabye in a month.

[Manio]

Everyone is probably concerned,but that doesn't mean he's going to fail.

[weavile 824]

it doesn't matter how long it takes as long as it is 100% like houndoomed said
by the way nice pokes shleep is cool

[Lightey]

How do you make games? I really wanna make one!

[TeddiursaFan]

Shleep reminds me of mareep. It looked like it would be mareeps pre- evolution or baby form.

[Manio]

Yea! Shleep does like look like a pre-volution. Hmmm interesting.

[Mitchman Is]

How?! Mareep line has 3 pokemon. I think its um just a pokemon that he made.

[Houndoomed]

Shleep reminds me of mareep. It looked like it would be mareeps pre- evolution or baby form.

Just because it's also a sheep and is yellow doesn't exactly make it look like Mareep, or make it a pre-evolution. Remember, Shleep is Psychic type, Mareep is not.

Anyway, just a little note about the demo: I'm making the Gym right now, and after that all we need to so is edit a few events and it's done! Still coming out by the end of this week.

[Neo-Dragon]

Looking forward to the demo man.
Those fakemon look really well done. Are the in-game sprites of the fakemon just as good?

[Houndoomed]

Looking forward to the demo man.
Those fakemon look really well done. Are the in-game sprites of the fakemon just as good?

Cheers! Yeah, the sprites are really good too. Only the first 20 or so will appear in the demo though, because it's still early into the game. Check out the starters in the screenshots and userbars for a little taste of what's to come. I think you can guess what the green Pokemon in my signature is :P
A few of the sprites are a little old, like Bawl who has been replaced, so our spriter's got even better since then.

Anyone think I should add custom graphics to make the demo more interesting before it comes out? It might take an extra day, but it'll still be ready this week.

[bjorn130]

just a little question it says you retired houndoomed so are you or not?

[Atomic_Reactor]

As previously stated, yes custom graphics would make the game a little bit more appealing. But not everywhere, just here and there.

[Houndoomed]

just a little question it says you retired houndoomed so are you or not?

No, I retired a while ago, but I just came back for a short while to help with the demo :)

I'll be retiring for sure after the demo comes out.

[Yuoaman]

Ahh... you'll be back someday... I've retired a total of three times, but I've always come back lol.

Back on topic: I think you should use custom graphics. But use them sparingly, as in; only replace like one kind of tree, and a few buildings.

[dDave]

Puh... this game looks fantastic.
I like the starter-Pkmn, especially the grass-Pkmn... but the water and fire are grreat too! The design of the fire-starter is a little strange on the first view, but its something new and i think very cool... to make it that cute^^ [what do you think; i think the 3rd stage of the fire-starter will look cooler, if you add a more angry looking face, especially the eyes...]


i think it wasnt mentioned before... what do you plan, to shoiw in the demo???
i read about 15 cities and [only] 2 gyms [??!!]... is that true?

[Atomic_Reactor]

I'm gonna repeat it just because I like repeating it :P

The demo will go as far as Metrostone City, or in other words, the second city. You will also get to visit 2 other towns and another city, along with a few routes and a forest.

If you read my post in the Farewell topic, you'll see the reason why I have left. Lorem Ipsum is now in charge.

Read that....
It explains it all ^_^

[dDave]

Uhh^^ sry... where was that standing???


@HoundoomedL: I have an Idea for a ["new"] Pkmn, it would be funny to see a Crystall-Onix, maybe as Steel/Light, Steel/Ice or Rock/Light ... i dont know^^

[Atomic_Reactor]

i think like 2 or 3 pages back.

[Houndoomed]

Sorry we haven't had any updates recently! I will be posting a big update tomorrow, and all I can let you know for now is that I have created a few custom tiles myself which you will be seeing in the demo! And there may also be a Part 2 to the update... so make sure to stay tuned tomorrow!

And now, I'm tired, I'm moody and I'm going to bed! :P

[Rhydon100]

What software do you use to make these games?

[sonic smash down]

sounds great hoomdoomed cant wait to see it dud.

[bjorn130]

What software do you use to make these games?

RPG Maker XP is the most used one.

[Manio]

I wouldn't be suprised if you snuck a Houndour pre-volution in their somewhere. I'm only guessing..but that'd would be pretty neat.

~Update July 21st 08 - NEW STUFF AND OFFICIAL DEMO RELEASE DATE!~

Yes, hello, my name is Houndoomed, sorry I'm late, let's just skip that junk and get onto the update, OK?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/DragonMistress/41-Slumbaa.png
Name:: Slumbaa
Type(s):: http://www.pokemonacanthite.com/images/types/psychic.gif
Species:: Dreamer Pokémon

Shleep's evo!

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4881/lancexe2.png

Lance is looking pretty nifty in his badly needed new sprite!

And now onto, the important part!

For months now, we have been eagerly waiting the release of the first demo of Pokémon Scarlet. The dates have been changed a numerous amount of times, and a few promises broken. But now, I can happily reveal that the very first Pokémon Scarlet Demo will be released tomorrow, the 22st July, at 20:00 UTC/GMT.

Pokémon Scarlet Version follows young teenager Lance and his cousin Clair getting their very first Pokémon from Prof. Maple, where the player plays as Lance in the beautiful region of Koyoto. After receiving their Pokémon, she is suddenly kidnapped by Giovanni, Lance's friend and neighbor, and a few other Team Rocket members. You and Clair make a brave decision to track down Giovanni and bring him to justice, and along the way train your Pokémon and become the ultimate Pokémon Master!

I would never have been able to do this if it wasn't for the help of my talented team. Special thanks go to Lorem Ipsum, who has helped me incredibly with the making of this demo, and whom I owe my position of main developer to. And even more importantly, thank you for supporting Pokémon Scarlet since the very beginning, and I hope you enjoy the game tremendously!

And now, the wait begins!

[/css-div]

~Update July 22st 08 - POKéMON SCARLET DEMO!~

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Drum roll, please!

And now, proudly presenting... the Pokémon Scarlet Demo!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MXULJBGR

After receiving their Pokémon, she is suddenly kidnapped by Giovanni, Lance's friend and neighbor, and a few other Team Rocket members. You and Clair make a brave decision to track down Giovanni and bring him to justice, and along the way train your Pokémon and become the ultimate Pokémon Master!

Now, this demo is only a preview of what Scarlet really is. There isn't much custom tiles or graphics, and the Pokémon data may not be 100%, but all of that should be coming in the next release.
The demo gives you a good idea of the storyline, you're able to catch and battle your own Pokémon (including Pokémon exclusive to the Koyoto region), as well as explore 2 towns, 2 cities, a few routes and a forest, and a whole lot more!

I hope you enjoy this demo that the whole Scarlet team worked so hard to make. I'll be sticking around a while to see what you think of it :)

And if you encounter any bugs or any other strange things, make sure to tell me! It's likely that a 1.1 version will be released.

hey man i found a small glitch early in the game it's when you see a third sentret in the game when u run away a start walking ther is a pokeball right on the side of the screen but after a couple of seconds it went away i just wanted to see if anyone else experienced that

Yes, that happens if you run from battle too soon. Just ignore that, it should be fixed in the next release.

well, i'm playing it :3
I chose the fire starter :)
so far ive only found one bug, the girl towards the exit to the town can't be talked if your on route 51.
I would suggest moving her over to the left one tile.

Back to playing :D

Oh, and Anntorch has i think.. bulbasaurs cry XD
Not a big deal. lol

NOW back to playing :)

Good job on finding that out, that will be fixed too.

And all of the new Pokemon's cries are from old Pokemon's XD
If we can get new cries by the next update, then I'll be sure to add them.

[shinylugia249]

yeah i saw the pokeball too:

[Houndoomed]

Like I said, the demo was quite rushed, the next update will fix everything ;)

Just try to enjoy it.

[Neo-Dragon]

I picked the grass starter.
I enjoyed the game.
I did notice that pokeball bug too (showing on the overworld after battle), but very minor thing.
The game seemed really well done, it felt very official in terms of the coding. The battle system seemed perfect, the bag looked sweet and I was messing around in the options changing the screen sizes/fonts/menu frames.
Oh, and the storage system, gotta mention that. I checked that out after I caught a wild sentret lol.
Anyways, I'm going back to play some more.

[Atomic_Reactor]

NEw problem: when talking to clair after giovanni leaves, she dissapears mid sentence XD

Man so far, all the dialogue is quite intruiging. Nothing corny or anything lol.
This is great so far!

[Manio]

Downloading now! Probably gonna use Water,my most favourite starter type.

[lalala12]

I downloaded it and opened the game, I see a black screen for like 1 second and then it closes again. Do you need anything else but the demo for it?

[ryushin5]

u got that same bug me too and when u go to the lab before u go talk to her in her house she is still there saying that she is getting her first pokemon

[Atomic_Reactor]

oh yeah lol. i forgot to mention that XD
Hmm... when you come out of the houses in Rosenut city, its like your coming out of a mart or PC.
:)

[Houndoomed]

oh yeah lol. i forgot to mention that XD
Hmm... when you come out of the houses in Rosenut city, its like your coming out of a mart or PC.
:)

Oh, hell no XD

I knew I should have tested it for longer.

OK, everything will be fixed VERY soon. It's late, so I got to go now, but I'll start fixing everything first thing in the morning. Just remember to keep ignoring the bugs until the next update comes out!

I downloaded it and opened the game, I see a black screen for like 1 second and then it closes again. Do you need anything else but the demo for it?

Do you have a Mac? If so, that might be the reason.

[lalala12]

No I have Windows. It's really weird it just closes, it does nothing O_o

[Atomic_Reactor]

oh yeah man, I'm not worrying baout the SMALL bugs (except bastick -_-) they aren't messing up the game at all.

I wanna congratulate you and the team on a magnificent job well done :P

[DaSpirit]

I downloaded it and opened the game, I see a black screen for like 1 second and then it closes again. Do you need anything else but the demo for it?
Same thing happened to me, I have Windows XP, do you need RPG Maker in order to play it or something?

[Avatar]

Yes, I would probably try installing RPG Maker XP to see if that makes any difference.

[Blazers08]

Hey im trying to play the game but when i click it it comes up to a black screen and says, "RGSS102E.dll could not be found"
Im using Vista. Got any idea to what the problem is?

[weavile 824]

this was so cool this game rocks

[dDave]

I had the same bug...

cool demo, but i have to wait till i come from work to play it more...

[darkerarceus]

Hey im trying to play the game but when i click it it comes up to a black screen and says, "RGSS102E.dll could not be found"

Download RMXP or the RTP or download mettallic silver it has RGSS102E.dll
because Flameguru put it there
anyway i'm downloading right now!
i'n gonna pick the fire starter (my favourite type)

[PoKéMaKeR]

Nice demo you've got there!!
I saw a glitch with an attack sprite..
if your foe uses growl, the animation is like you use it..!
Don't think that's what you need, is it :P
PoKéMaKeR

Edit: If giovanni is talking to Maple, and you go instead of to them, to the lab, she's also in the lab :P
Edit(2): The event with team Rocket and Maple, you better look at that again, and do things that you'll normally don't do, because I caused a lot of glitches..
If you want to know everything.. just PM me I'll PM them back, I'm not quite in the mood to do alot of typing right now

[shinylugia249]

I found a glitch. Everytime i go into the lab i keep getting another copy of my starter. I picked the grass starter.

[blueguy]

I enjoyed the beta, mainly because of the new Pokémon, but I feel that it could have been much better. The new Pokémon were fantastic, but the maps, plot, and gameplay lacked any innovation. It was still very fun to play, though.

[Mitchman Is]

Huzzah! A beta. But all good things lead somewhere. Like the leaving of houndoomed and the taking over of this project by lorem ipsum.

[Houndoomed]

I enjoyed the beta, mainly because of the new Pokémon, but I feel that it could have been much better. The new Pokémon were fantastic, but the maps, plot, and gameplay lacked any innovation. It was still very fun to play, though.

Well, the main point of this demo was actually only to give the player a taste of the storyline, and what's to come in the future :)

Those maps you saw were extremely old, such as Berrywood Town, Route 52, Selwood Forest and Lake Luxor, so we actually need a new and better mapper desperately, seeing as I won't be around to do the mapping anymore, even though I've improved a lot in the last while. Maybe I could quickly redo some of these maps before the update? Do you think that would that improve the demo by much?

There should be more features such as the PTA (Pokémon Trainer Assistant, a pun of PDA), a new menu system, custom graphics, custom tiles, better sprites as our spriter has gotten better since, new text boxes, improved maps and so on. All of that should come in the next demo, so it might take a while to do all of that stuff D:

One thing I'd like to know is why you didn't like the plot? I believe I was the first to come up with one like this in a Pokémon game, and then people started coming up with almost identical ones, so perhaps that's why it seems to be like other games. The plot does get very interesting after you go further on in the game, though.

Huzzah! A beta. But all good things lead somewhere. Like the leaving of houndoomed and the taking over of this project by lorem ipsum

Well, hopefully that shouldn't be a bad thing ;)

Oh, and keep those bug reporting coming, I need all of them to be fixed for the next update!

And I'd like to have some new, custom stuff for the next update, too, so you won't be bored. I may even decide to change the events around too, to be more exciting.

[Yuoaman]

I'm still willing to map for you Houdoomed. And I'll be downloading the demo tommorrow, Yay!

[dDave]

Is it possible to make the screen bigger? or to choose the buttons... somehow

I think that mapping is one of a number of things that are important to a game.

I look forward to it. ^_^

The plot does get very interesting after you go further on in the game, though.

One aspect of the plot that I liked was that Lance and Clair are the main characters. But somehow it didn't really compel me. It just felt like another Pokémon fan game. There wasn't enough novelty. But even so, it's what I want to play, the get-the-eight-badges quest... but something feels missing from the game.

I think this next update you talk about will improve upon a lot of the things missing in this demo.

[Houndoomed]

Well, figured this was very important for you guys to know, so I'm posting it here...

Pokémon Scarlet is now undergoing some major changes. Some changes being made now are:

Slight event and plot change
Bug fixes
DP graphics by Kyledove (will be credited after everything is finished)
A D/P/P resolution screen
New D/P/P character sprites
D/P battle sytem
New and improved maps
A badge case, accessible from the menu
D/P/P sprites and textboxes
The PTA (Pokémon Trainer Assistant)

As you can see, Scarlet is being changed altogether. So we decided to make everything D/P/P style, so everything will be more modern. Needless to say, this will take a very long time, so there may not be any updates for a while.

We have also decided that instead of having the 'update' I was talking about, this instead should be the second demo. It all depends on whether everything goes successful. With luck, it will!

And since we are going to need new maps, I think we'll need a new mapper. So if you want to apply, just fill out this form:

Name:
Age:
Position:
Examples of Work:
Projects you have worked for:

I'd also appreciate if you have worked as a mapper on another project before, and know yourself you have skill. You will be notified whether you have made it or not by PM.

[Atomic_Reactor]

so you will be using DP overworlds?
If that's the case... I have a lot of custom sprite you may wanna use 0_o
Just PM me..

[Hall Of Famer]

So you're gonna completely D/P-lize this game project? Well, I must say it will become the best fan game in Game Development if you succeed so I wish you good luck.

[Houndoomed]

So you're gonna completely D/P-lize this game project? Well, I must say it will become the best fan game in Game Development if you succeed so I wish you good luck.

That's actually what we're aiming for - I think Scarlet has the potential to be one of the best, so that's why we're redoing pretty much everything :)

I'll be sticking around a while to see how things are going. The first demo kind of flopped, so I just wanna make sure it's good to go before I go XD.

[Mr. Absol]

AHHAHAHAHAH
This Game Is So Random!

[Atomic_Reactor]

why do you say this game is random 0_o

[Yuoaman]

Because his mind cannot comprehend the storyline...

Anyway I'm starting the demo now : D

[Hall Of Famer]

That's good. I wish you good luck with this game project. Btw, I'm also gonna implement the D/P graphics and systems so can you please share those D/P stuffs with me after the project is completed? Please tell me what you need and I can do anything in return.

[Yuoaman]

Okay, I've only just started the demo, but it seems good so far, I'll be updating if I see any noticeable bugs...

[Atomic_Reactor]

I think most of us have already found all the bugs ^_^

[Crazy Weavile]

I like the demo. However, the means used to keep you from skipping things are rather conspicuous... Perhaps you should tie them into what's happening at the moment? For example, replace the brother/sister playing ball with a Rocket vehicle.

[dDave]

@hondour. I have a question... are the attacks of the new starters, which they learn with level up, already done?! or could we make a proposal for other attacks they could learn by theirselfs, because i dont like some of the attacks you give to them -.- but thats my opinion and i dont know if someone else is thinking the same way...
[i hope you understand^^]

[Lorem Ipsum]

They are the attacks that Houndoomed and I gave them. The sets fit the Pokémon quite well, I think.

[Houndoomed]

Please welcome our new Overworld Maker, Atomic_Reactor! He's already done Lance's OWs in D/P/P style, and so here they are.

EDIT: Removed. I don't want to risk anyone stealing these. You'll be seeing them very soon though, in new screenshots.

And just for fun, here are the old horrible ones.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9163/redcb0.png

Stealing will end up in you being reported, so don't even think about stealing these!

I believe Lorem Ipsum is now implementing the D/P tileset, so he should have new screenshots coming soon! Oh, and did I mention that the water starter is going to be replaced soon? ;)

EDIT: Lance should be expecting a wardrobe change, so keep watching the thread for new sprites!

[Yuoaman]

Noooo! I love the water starter! And the old Lance sprite *steals*, do you mind if I use it for a cameo appearance in my project? Feel free to say no.

[Houndoomed]

Sure, go ahead. We don't need it anymore :)

[Darksun]

Awesome little demo you got there, Houndoomed. I've found
some bugs, but I'm not going to write them down here, cuz you already know most of them, I think. The new Lance sprite is sooo cool. I'm really looking forward to the DP graphics, and yeah, the new demo. You have gotten a new Scarlet supporter.
I wish you good luck with the project! : DD

(Sorry for my bad grammar, english isn't my first language.)

[Lorem Ipsum]

Darksun; thank you for your comments on the game.

Don't worry about your grammar either; I wouldn't have known that English wasn't your first language if you hadn't told me.

[Yuoaman]

Awesome, thanks! And I cannot wait to see future updates Houndoomed!

[Darksun]

Darksun; thank you for your comments on the game.

Don't worry about your grammar either; I wouldn't have known that English wasn't your first language if you hadn't told me.

Thanks. ^^
But, are you or Houndoomed making the game? Did he hand it over to you or something like that?
And one other thing, how can I make the game start at screen size 240x160
instead of 480x320 like in Scarlet?

[Lorem Ipsum]

I have sort of taken over Scarlet.

To change the screen size, you select it in the options, and save the game.

[Darksun]

Taken over? Okey. : D
When I'm making my own game with Pokèmon Essentials,
I'm changing the screen size in option and then saving? Sorry, but I don't understand.

[chibo_wolf]

im not sure what both of you mean but i think you are both spamming

im not sure

[Flygon234]

can i help you?
name:Flygon
talents:names,abilities,pokemon ideas

[Atomic_Reactor]

you should probably give an example of your work.
it would help your chances.

[Verguil13]

Nice game. I think it's going to be real great.

[Houndoomed]

can i help you?
name:Flygon
talents:names,abilities,pokemon ideas

Sorry, the only position we need right now is a mapper.

There should be a huge update of the second demo quite soon - everything has totally been changed! And a new team is going to feature in the next demo... except this time, they're good guys, and their mission is to protect Koyoto. Their name? Keep watching the thread to find out...

[Wichu]

Well, I played the demo. It was pretty good, if a bit short. Some things I'd like to point out.

The trainers. At the start of the game, there should be Youngsters, Lasses and Bug Catchers, not Battle Girls, Experts and Guitarists :S
Also, I think they were a little hard. For example, the first trainers were already using level 5s, which may not seem overpowered, but when your team has been weakened, they sweep you easily. On the official games, the earliest trainers have level 3s and 4s.

A couple of movement permissions weren't set correctly, especially inside buildings, where you could walk straight out onto the black area. Also, the permissions in the Gym were a bit dodgy...

You didn't edit some of the Marts, so they still sold TM Solarbeam etc.

The TMs weren't edited - none of my Pokémon could learn the Attract TM I was given.

Clair still says exactly the same thing in the lab, even after you complete the demo.

The Pokémon database edits were rather sloppy - you didn't edit their cries, or more importantly, their base EXP. For some reason, Minimoth gives less EXP than Shimple, and even Bastick gives more than its last evolution... And being able to grow all the way from level 6 to level 7 by defeating just 1 level 2 Volery is fun, but kinda breaks the game a bit. On the subject of Volery, it is amazingly hard to catch for such a weak and common Pokémon - you might want to fix that. Finally, a bug with Shimple and Minimoth - if you evolve Shimple, the Minimoth will be at a higher level than the Shimple it evolved from. If you evolve a Shimple at level 14, the Minimoth that comes out will be level 16. However, at extremely high levels, this reverses. A Shimple evolved at level 100 will become level 98 after evolving. This is quite a large bug...

Well, it was a nice demo, apart from the bugs.

Thanks for that, but I think it's time to put the old, buggy first demo behind us. It was extremely rushed, hence all of those things you listed. It's kind of embarassing actually, as I wasn't aware of the amount of mistakes.

They will all be fixed in the second demo, trust me.

Right now we're making D/P/P sprites for all of our Pokémon - and all I can say is that they are magnificent. They actually look like they were made by Nintendo. We have also got a new water starter line, but we still have things such as names and sprites to finish before we can show them to you.

Also, thanks to Lorem Ipsum, we now have changed the screen resolution to the same as in Pokémon D/P/P (D/S). We're currently working on the battle system, and all I can say is that it's working out quite well so far.

In addition to that, we are now looking for spriters to make trainer sprites for us in D/P/P style.

So if you are able to make trainer sprites for us, PM me or let me know :)

Oh, and I should be staying around a while just to make sure the game is getting off at the right start. So I should be staying just a little while longer, I'll probably be gone again by the time school starts at the end of August.

[Lorem Ipsum]

im not sure what both of you mean but i think you are both spamming

im not sure

What do you mean by this?

Also, Wichu, thank you for taking the time to play the game. It was buggy, we know, and you have alerted us to a couple more bugs that we had not seen in the game. I have to take responsibility for most of these, as it was my job to do all of the events and scripting in the game.

Now, to the broader Scarlet community, there is going to be a slight change in the next week. Houndoomed is normally the one who provides us with screenshots. But I am going to be previewing the new DPP tiles that have been implemented (thanks go to Kyledove for making them 2D), and there will also be a preview of the DPP battle system that I have been working on for the past couple of days.

Thank you for your remaining support of Scarlet.

[Houndoomed]

Rewrote the storyline to be MUCH better.

Pokémon Scarlet takes place 20 years before the events of Pokémon R/B/Y (even though new Pokémon feature in Koyoto, they do not appear in any other region). You play as a young Lance, who grows up to be one of the world's most famous Pokémon Masters, and one of the Kanto Elite Four. Lance’s cousin, Clair, is also a character in this game. Clair grows up to be the Gym Leader of Blackthorn City Gym. Both Lance and Clair move to Blackthorn City when they are older. Pokémon Scarlet expands the history of these two characters in an exciting and new, not used before in a Pokémon game, way.

So without further ado, I present the story of Scarlet.

----

Your name is Lance*. You live in the town of Hazelbranch in the region of Koyoto, along with your younger cousin, Clair. You have been living here for a long time, and things have always been more and less peaceful... until now.

Today marks the day of your 13th birthday, and to celebrate, you are getting your very first Pokémon. You head downstairs, where your Mom is waiting for you. She wishes you a happy birthday, and allows you to go and get your Pokémon from Prof. Maple. Once you arrive at Prof. Maple's Lab, you realize you're not the only one getting their first Pokémon today. Your cousin, Clair, is too. She then offers Clair to take one of the three Pokéballs on the table. She declines the offer, and says that you should choose first, seeing as it is your birthday. After choosing one of the Pokémon on the table, Clair takes the Pokémon with the opposite type as yours. Prof. Maple then gives you a Pokédex each, and you both leave the Lab, after thanking her for the gifts.

You then go to your Mom to show her your new Pokémon. She tells you that she is proud of you, and warns you to be careful on your journey. After leaving your house, you notice several men surrounding who appears to be Prof. Maple. You recognize one of the men instantly - Giovanni! A neighbor and one of your close friends. You go over to take a closer look. It seems Prof. Maple knows some very important information about something - but what? Giovanni says he is kidnapping Prof. Maple and is bringing her to Team Rocket HQ.
He then turns to you and tells you not to try to find them, because you never will.
He then takes off with Prof. Maple and the other mysterious men, laughing mischievously while he makes his escape.

It turns out Clair had saw and heard what happened also, and she asks you inside her house to discuss what just happened. She is in disbelief that Giovanni kidnapped Prof. Maple, and demands that the pair of you should search all of Koyoto in hope of finding her, and bringing her back to safety. All you know is that they went to a place called Team Rocket HQ, and that you must try to find it. She says that you can still be a Pokémon Trainer at the same time. She believes that if you train your Pokémon by defeating all of the Gym Leaders in Koyoto, you would be strong enough to defeat Giovanni and the rest of Team Rocket the next time you encountered each other.
But the most important question was WHY Team Rocket wanted Prof. Maple. What did she know that they didn't? You won't know until you infiltrate Team Rocket's Headquarters and find her.

After you have made up your mind to go on search for Prof. Maple, you must also tell your Mom about the huge decision you have made. At your house, you tell her everything that happened. She was shocked to hear about Prof. Maple, but wasn't surprised to hear Giovanni was a Team Rocket Admin, as she always knew there was something strange about him. After taking several moments to think about it, your Mom finally allows you to go and find Prof. Maple. She gives you a pair of Running Shoes as a birthday gift, as she forget to give them to you earlier. She tells you to be careful, and wishes you luck.

And with that, you and Clair begin your quest for rescuing Prof. Maple, and along the way become some of the strongest Pokémon trainers the world has ever known...

* Note that you can choose any name for yourself. Lance is the default name.

Oh, and I won't be here for the next few days, so I'm letting Lorem Ipsum take over the thread until I return.

[Blazers08]

Hey houndoomed,
I have a sprite for you if you want to use it.

http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/3/8/10/f_dogm_3dba689.png (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/8/10/f_dogm_3dba689.png&srv=img28)

[Minorthreat0987]

I must say Lorem, I am anxiously waiting for those screens showing off the battle system. I think it will look very good and I can't wait to see it. I also am looking forward to seeing Kyles tiles, but what are you going to do about those few missing tiles in the set...? Like the gym.

Good Luck mate, I can not wait to see those screens.

Sincerely,
Minorthreat.

[Lorem Ipsum]

Minorthreat: There are a few options for the missing tiles. Either I will attempt to recreate them, or we will simply use custom tiles for this purpose.

I'm just adding the finishing touches to the battle screens, such as improved gender icons and making sure that the Pokéball doesn't linger when it is first thrown into battle.

[TKS]

It'd be a bit weird if you went through this whole thread without the tiniest idea of who I am, so let me introduce myself! My name is Houndoomed, and I am the creator of Pokémon Scarlet Version. I'm not alone though, I have many brilliant people who help me make Pokémon Scarlet Version what it truly is. I started work way back in February 2007 when we were still unheard of. We've come a long way since then, and now we are very well known.
Looks like a great game, but seriously... lol.

[Infernal Contraption]

We are now looking for spriters to make trainer sprites for us in D/P/P style.

So if you are able to make trainer sprites for us, PM me or let me know :)Hey, Houndoomed. You might remember me. I once took a shot at making the Grass Starter sprite quite a long time ago, when my spriting wasn't so great (actually, if I look back at it, it was pretty bad).

I would be glad to help you create trainer sprites in D/P/P style. I need to get a little practice with that style.

Anyway, the game is turning out very well.
I hope you keep up the great work. ^.^

[TeddiursaFan]

Hey Lorem, I was wondering if you had anything new(I've noticed that you haven't released any new news) or are you just fixing up the bugs for the game? The chat really slowed down... though nice game (even though Houndoom started it).

[Houndoomed]

Looks like a great game, but seriously... lol.

Yes, I must admit that was a bit cheesy XD

Hi, I think I remember you? :)
Sure, feel free to give it a shot ;)

Thanks for the compliments. I actually decided that when the time comes when the second demo, I'll just be changing some things around and making sure everything's right. So I don't think I'll ever be fully retired. I'm just going to be having the most important exams of my life (so far >.<) starting next year, and I'll have to study very hard. So I should still be able to co-run this project.

Hey Lorem, I was wondering if you had anything new(I've noticed that you haven't released any new news) or are you just fixing up the bugs for the game? The chat really slowed down... though nice game (even though Houndoom started it).

Hope you don't mind if I answer this for you...

Yes, we have got some new stuff, but we're still perfecting it. Hopefully we'll have a few screenshots showing off what we've done in the next issue of PC Gamer, which should be coming out at the end of the month :)

Chat has gone down a lot lately... but that's probably because we're still working on everything. So once we get back on track, we should be regaining activity again.

[Sk8er Prince]

Sorry to post such a post here, but the megaupload download doesn't work anymore.

Can you upload it in another hosting service? (Please, not Rapidshare either.)

[Dustyguy]

I'M A N00B How do you start the game? some0n3 plz tell Pl0x?

[sonic smash down]

So I don't think I'll ever be fully retired. I'm just going to be having the most important exams of my life (so far >.<) starting next year, and I'll have to study very hard. So I should still be able to co-run this project.



u dont know how glad i am to hear ya say that houndoomed i knew you could never leave this project its to good. :P anyways just upload the the game and press enter and you should be able to start it, its for the computer look at the controls before you continue.

[memyselforwho]

I haven't played the demo, but this seems quite solid and I will definitely download the demo and try it out.

[Infernal Contraption]

Hi, I think I remember you? :)
Sure, feel free to give it a shot ;)

Thanks for the compliments. I actually decided that when the time comes when the second demo, I'll just be changing some things around and making sure everything's right. So I don't think I'll ever be fully retired. I'm just going to be having the most important exams of my life (so far >.<) starting next year, and I'll have to study very hard. So I should still be able to co-run this project.

Alright, no problem... Although, you'll have to tell me what to do. I'm an expert at making overworld sprites in Diamond and Pearl style, and I'm not so sure about battle sprites. Just tell me what to sprite and I'll do it if I can.

Also, I'm glad that, even if you're busy, you will stay with this project. ^.^ It would be terrible if you just quit Scarlet after all of the work you've done it, and all the work others have done for it. v.v Scarlet is one of the greatest games out there in my opinion, and I would hate to see it go. <.<

I have PMed you about this. And thanks for the comments :)

I've got some very bad news for you today. Lorem Ipsum, has decided to step down as the game developer, and we are now again in need of someone to take my place. I think I'll leave him to explain why he chose this to you himself.

So, until we get someone else, Pokémon Scarlet will be in a state of inactivity. I know that most of the most experienced game developers here are already involved of a project of their own, so if you have the skills and already own/used to own a project of your own, please PM me and I will let you know shortly afterwards if I'm willing to let you continue this project.

[.Pichu-kun]

For some reason, I'm unable to play it. :\
When ever I click the game option, it appears for like 2 seconds, then exits out with the noise an error pop-up makes. :\

But, I don't understand what you are asking.
You are asking for someone else to continue this project for you?

[Blazers08]

So the game is done then?

[Houndoomed]

For some reason, I'm unable to play it. :\

Have you tried installing RMXP? And did you extract the file into one folder on your desktop? Also, if you have a Mac, it may be because of that.

Oh, that's not very good.

But, I don't understand what you are asking.
You are asking for someone else to continue this project for you?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking.

So, anyone who thinks they would like to continue the project should PM me, with an example of what they have worked on for their project(s) e.g a few screenshots showing off the graphics and battle system.

I will be making a topic specifying the exact details on this shortly.

So the game is done then?

I don't understand what you mean by 'done'. If you meant that the game will no longer be continued, then no, it's just that we will not be going anywhere until we find someone else to continue this game for me.

[.Pichu-kun]

Probably because I don't have RMXP.

[Blazers08]

Well isn't this your game?
Why don't you want to continue it?

[Yuoaman]

O_o

You haven't been paying attention have you?

For several months now Houndie over there has been planning on leaving the community, but first he needed someone to continue the project after he left. He passed it on to Lorem Ipsum, but stayed on to help him along for a while. But a few days ago, Lorem quit for reasons of his own, and now Houndie needs someone new to take over, so he can leave...

[Houndoomed]

Prepare yourself - there should be a big update coming as soon as possible! This update includes new and redesigned Pokémon, and new, exclusive screenshots of the brand new graphics and sprites!

Also, don't forget to rate the thread!

Well isn't this your game?
Why don't you want to continue it?

It's not that I don't want to continue it, it's just that I don't have the time to continue it. Yuoaman did a pretty good job at explaining it.

[SethCullen]

This looks fun. Downloaded the beta and ill say my feed back.

[4th Gen Matt]

I played the demo and it was a fun game. I got anoyed because it kept freezing while I walked though.

Fix that and speed up the battling a bit and you'll have yourself a great game.

[sk83r4lif309]

what emu do i use to play this vba isnt working cam someone pm me and let me know

[Atomic_Reactor]

its not a hack. you don't need a vba to play it.
download rmxp. then you can play it i believe.

[Infernal Contraption]

what emu do i use to play this vba isnt working cam someone pm me and let me knowThis is the wrong forum altogether. This is Game Development, not Emulation.

its not a hack. you don't need a vba to play it.

All you need is the game and you can play it.

[~Night]

All you need is the game and you can play it.

Really? I was wondering why it didn't work (=
Thanks for the help

It says that it's missing a file called RGSS102E.dll
Any help?

~!~Miss Cow~!~

lol, that's why i said to download RMXO ;)

that way you have all those program things to play games.
It's your best bet so you don't miss anything.

O. . .K. . .

So where do you download it? (it doesn't cost money. . .does it?)

~!~Miss Cow~!~

[Atomic_Reactor]

downloading it is free.
but if you wanna actually make games with it, it cost 60 bucks.
but you get all the programs and stuff for free.
eh, if you dont plan on making games, then dont worry about it

[Wichu]

Just download the RGSS102E.dll file from www.dll-files.com and put it in your game\'s folder.

Perhaps poccil should include the file in Essentials to avoid problems like this one.

[Red Rain]

I've just played the demo (I know I'm behind), and I can say that it was alright. The story with Lance & Clair, I think, is superb and the Team Rocket kidnap is also a sound idea. Some of the Fake Pokemon I encountered were ok, and the starters are quite good. However, some of the maps were bland, the forest was WAY too small, and there way too mant older Pokemon about. I also don't understand what the name 'Grant' has to do with Rocks or the Rock type. If any of these points have been made already, sorry for bringing them up again, if they've been noticed or already critiqued.

It has potential, yet at the moment, it is not at the same level as some other fangames I have played and saw. I wish the project luck with whoever takes over from Houndoomed.

I downloaded it, but now it's just saying "Access is denied"

~!~Miss Cow~!~

[Wichu]

Hmm... I've never had that problem. If you're using Vista, try running it as an administrator.

[Sales_Kital]

I suggest making the screen a bit bigger because it is kinda hard to see at it's current size.

[Houndoomed]

That has already been accomplished actually. It is now DS size, now all I have to do is make everything fit the new resolution, which will take a while.

I guess you can say I'm temporarily back in charge for a while :)

I agree with you 1000%. The sprites are going to be changed tremendously, into DP style of course. And the water starter is being replaced. The maps were a big let down, that's the reason I'm trying to find a new mapper. I've improved a lot myself also, so you should be seeing some new maps from me. Including a bunch of redone, renamed and more exciting maps.

Oh, and about your point on Grant: His name is a pun of granite, a type of rock.

Like I said a million times before, PLEASE don't judge this game by the first demo. It was rushed, everything happened to quickly, had thousands of bugs, bad maps and some bad sprites, the list goes on. I can guarantee the second demo will be a HUGE improvement, whoever continues it.

So right now, I'm working on the battle system, which is working out very well so far. It won't be too long until you see the new and improved Scarlet!

[~Night]

Hmm... I've never had that problem. If you're using Vista, try running it as an administrator.

Oh, wait, it's working!!! (=
Thanks for the help


~!~Miss Cow~!~

[Yuoaman]

Nice to know you're still working on it Houndie! And I thought the Grant/Granite pun was fairly obvious...

[Sailor Venus]

looks like a very good hack I might have to try it out.

[~Night]

Every once and a while the screen freezes, but thats the only problem I've found so far.

~!~Miss Cow~!~

[Lorem Ipsum]

That's probably because you have other programs going at the same time, which makes the game lag.

[~Night]

In the beginning when Prof. Maple is telling you about everything(clair is your cousin, your name is lance, etc.), I think it makes it sound like she's stupid(I would probably know who my cousin was, and I've never been asked if I wanted to change my name).
Maybe you could make her say something like this:
. . ."I'm the POKeMON PROFESSOR in our region KOYOTO."
. . ."Your name is LANCE, isn't it?" The yes or no box appars(if you press no then you can change your name).
. . ."I heard that you live in the town of HAZELBRANCH."
. . ."I have been told that this is your younger cousin, CLAIR, and she's about to start her own journey, too." . . .
This way she sounds a bit less dumb (=

~!~Miss Cow~!~

[Sales_Kital]

I played the 1st demo only i think. The DS size screen is on what resolution of screen? 800x600 or 1024x768? if it's DS size on a 800x600 resolution screen then that is still tiny.

[Wichu]

The first demo was in GBA resolution.

[Rennar]

This game is great so far!

[TheSilv3rMoon]

awsome hack keep up the good work :P

[DamianLeonhart]

awsome hack keep up the good work :P

Read the first post, It should clearly state that this is not a hack.

[Goodbye, Farewell, & Amen]

I loved this game, I downloaded it and it was awesome!

[Tsukimaru]

is that able to download? im curious about it

[Atomic_Reactor]

yeah, check out the first post. the download is there.

[Infernal Contraption]

looks like a very good hack I might have to try it out.

awsome hack keep up the good work :PThe his not a hack, it's a game.
I find it quite easy to determine between the two. =P

Anyway, Houndoomed, I hope to hear some updates.
I'm curious to see what the new D/P version of Scarlet looks like. ^^

[Houndoomed]

Well, as of now Scarlet is on hiatus until I can find somebody to continue it. I have a few people in mind, but I don't think I've found anyone yet whom I'm 100% comfortable with.

I think until then I'm going to work on making a whole new region including region map, and remaking all of the maps :)

Until then, if a mod could close this please.

[amarj3]

your quitting? shame game had good potential but cant say i am not surprised

[Atomic_Reactor]

he didnt say he was quitting...
he said it was hiatus.

way to have confidence in somone -.-

[amarj3]

is hiatus even a real word....

[Houndoomed]

is hiatus even a real word....

Yes. It basically means something is on a halt.

Anyone, moving back to topic, I'm now redesigning the region map! The first big change we've had in a while. It's actually going to be slightly smaller than the last map in width, but larger in heighth. This is because I'll be changing some things as we have some more room thanks to the bigger resolution.

Changes will include:


A region based on an actual region of Japan.
Totally different look and size.
A name change.
Possibly a different total of cities and towns.
Remade maps.


I hope to be done by the end of the week, as I have exams starting Monday.

Sounds good, Houndoomed.
I hope to see some of those maps, as I would like to see the new graphics.

By the way, what did you mean by "a name change"?

[Wichu]

I think he means he's going to change the name of the region.

[AbsolCommunities]

Very, very nice! I like the intro page, lol. Could I use some sprites in my game? They're amazing!
Tell me when you get the final version out!

[Yuoaman]

I am positive that you cannot use some of his sprites, for they are his property...

[loukseton]

you forgot to put the RGSS102E.dll in your demo so the game did not work. luckily i had the same kind of file from pokemon raptor. and its working man!!! its one of the best game's ever!!!!

[Radium]

Nice title screen, Aantorch looks like a piggy bank, just kidding lol. Lance and Clair as young kids are cool too.

[POKEM4NlAC]

its a good game!
keep it up!

[~KIRBY~]

the pokemon are weird(ignore this)
but its awesome

[poonipoonz]

I want to get this game to work, and I've downloaded everything. But everytime I run the game, I get an error message that says, "RGSS102E.dll could not be found" I'm kind of confused, and I really don't know what to do. BTW, I have windows Vista... Don't know if that make's a difference.

[WaterTrainer75]

the storyline was really good
