Just felt the need to address this because I'm trying to get back into ROM hacking and a lot of hate comments and such I have received are giving me second thoughts.
So I recently found out that someone had given me a cameo in their ROM hack. The character named 'Fireworks' in this hack was apparently very arrogant and boasted about being an amazing hacker despite having quit four hacks.
First of all, I have never boasted about being good at hacking, honestly I think I'm a terrible hacker, and as such I'm always restarting or changing a bunch of stuff. When I look at other hacks, if I choose to post I will concentrate my post on the negatives of the hack, because another post simply saying 'good hack' isn't going to help, criticism is what helps and a lot of the time people have looked at the comments I have made trying to help them and turn them around and get all upset over it.
As far as quitting hacks...
My first ever ROM hack was Pokémon Shining Platinum, which was nothing but a starting out project so that I could learn to hack. I had more fun hacking during this and managed to release a small demo, but I kept running into game breaking bugs and had to restart. I tried to pick it back up a few times but it was nnever the same, so yeah, I "quit" if that's what you want to call it.
Then came Pokémon Dark Grey. It started out as a Ruby hack and I just really wasn't enjoying it so I quit. Then I intended on restarting on FireRed but there was a feature exclusive to Ruby that I wanted so I just restarted on Ruby, but eventually decided that the features I wanted in FireRed outweighed that one feature in Ruby, so I once again restarted on FireRed and will be continuing this project when I have enough time to sprite a Fakédex. It is currently on a hiatus.
Pokémon Iron and Stone. I learnt a lot during the making of this. Unfortunately computer problems happened and I lost a lot of progress. Yeah it's quit.
Pokémon Ceil. I'M STILL WORKING ON IT. YES IT HAS A THREAD TOO.
So yeah just felt the need to throw this out there I'm asleep now.
