FireRed hack: [HotW #58] Pokémon Torzach: The Legend Begins (We're back in action, people!)

[Agrajag]

As a class act, I can't very well vote for my own submission, so although calling myself a class act may negate that self proclaimed fact (damn!) I vote for HotMess' plot. The reason I've been following this hack so closely is because it's so unique, and quite frankly I feel that adding in the standard "go to the cave then find x then return to y" plot would be an insult to the quality and originality that made me fall in love with Torzach.

 

[Ghu55]

Agrajag has my vote

His plot would be a unique mission in a pokemon game, with no plot consequences what-so-ever

And the mystery of fakemon

 

[Destrozone]

hello team torzach =) You guys are making excellent progress, keep going! I hope to see a release soon, with all the hard work being put into this. Good luck!

 

[Westrmistr]

Hey, I see my plot got one vote! (Woo!) X] Well, I'm back, and spriteless. I've been so busy lately, I have had barely anytime to get on the computer. Plus, I have important things I need to do on the comnputer other than Torzach that I'm working on/finishing. And all the things that pop up outta nowhere that you have to do get annoying. I'll try and get something done, but with all this stuff, I just dunno... :cer_confused:

Now, gonna go look at this PM I got...

Looks pretty cool... But you should REALLY make some new main caracters. Also you should maybe edit a little bit on that grass ponyta so it doesn't look like ponyta to much... Or maybe that's meant to be? Well i really hope to see some new caracters. Good luck with the hack :P!

If you're talking about the OWs, a lot of their detail got deleted in inserting. We're working on that. Otherwise, they're supposed to look more adult-ish rather than 10-year-olds. I think the main characters battle/character selection sprites, while they could use some more individuality and color, they are very well done for the most part.

I've noticed that this hack is somewhat out of the ordinary, with the events implemented and such, so i have an idea that i think, if its script-able, would be something that would only add to the creativity and originality of the hack.
What if one of the gym leaders has to "step out" for a bit to take care of something (take this anyway you want) and asks you to take over the gym for a bit. During this time, a couple of trainers come in for you to battle them.
It would be an interesting concept, and if done well could also be beneficial for the trainer, as their pokemon would gain extra experience points
tell me what you think plz

 

[Samike360]

^I was planning on implementing that idea in my own hack.....yes it would be possible.

Sorry about the delay in closing the voting guys, I'm sort of struggling through swine flu at the moment :\ Its certainly not fun :P
Anyway, voting is now closed. The winner of the contest is Agrajag, with a total of six votes. Westrmistr had one, Hot Mess had one, and Snap12 had one. I don't really have any updates, swine flu has made hacking just about impossible for now, but I'll get back into it asap guys~

OMG Swine Flu?? As in H1N1??

PLZ don't die...

And please get better soon! ^^
I send my best wishes for your health and recovery.

And BTW congratz Agrajag for winning the contest!! Good for you.

That's just too bad. Although Swine Flu is bad for your country it is awesome in my city. Why? That's because exams are cancelled!!
Wooo!

Anyways, I hope to see amazing updates for this very soon.

 

[Agrajag]

Megamaccer - I know the "swine flu" has been getting an incredible amount of attention, I can assure you that it's no worse than a normal flu. I have several friends in med school and my Dad is a doctor; the general consensus among all of their teachers/co-workers is that the H1N1 strand is just a glorified flu - if it mutated we'd be in trouble, but I'm confident you don't have a new strain (otherwise I'd have heard about it on the news by now!). You'll be fine - my wishes go out to you and your family, just hang in there and try to be optimistic!

Oh, and take your time on the hack - anyone applying any pressure for a deadline shouldn't be a concern of yours. Get better soon man!

 

[Destrozone]

Mac, I hope you get well soon, this hack is progressing at a rather fast rate, and we don't want you to even miss one moment of it =) Get well soon.

 

[Vannah☆]

Congrats on the win Agrajag. ^.^ And like I told you Mac, you have me panic-y. x-x
As an intro to another contest, I'd like to present the rival and a bit of an edit of the current heroine OW. Ignore the error in the second row 3rd frame for the heroine OW.

spriting -CONTEST- spriting

Spoiler:

Alright, if you're willing to exhibit your hidden or already realized artistic talents, here's your chance for them to be implemented into Torzach! So, this is an trainer Overworld and battle sprite contest. Please note that battle sprites are 64x64 at max and that both OWs and battle sprites have a 16 color limit. If possible, please place your 16 (or less) color palette next to your sprites upon their completion. Also note that making a battle sprite for this contest is optional. Your entry can include a trainer OW and a battle sprite for that OW, but the battle sprite is optional. The entries will be judged by myself, Mac, West, and any other member of the team who requests to be a judge. You are ALLOWED to edit existing OFFICIAL FR/LG to a certain extent... (No just changing Red's hat color please... xD;) Please just make sure the battle sprites are 64x64 max and you keep a 16 color palette limit. Enough of my rambling. xD Here's the format for your entries.


----------------------------------------

Name: Your Name

OW: Your OW character in a format similar to the OW sets above. FR/LG style please.

Battle Sprite: If any. You know, the one that comes out at the top right corner of the screen who would "like to battle" you? Please, just try it (even if you think you have no talent xD) if you intend it to be a trainer that battles the hero/heroine. At least I can get the gist so I can make the official sprite.

Other: Anything else you want us to know about your entry. If you've included a battle sprite, please tell us the trainer class. (Lass, bug catcher, knight, old smelly elder, freaky fish guy, etc. xD)

AGAIN I'd really appreciate it if you placed your palette next to your sprites. xD And please remember to NOT save on paint. Try paint.net (free program) or photoshop.

----------------------------------------

.:example:.

Name: Vannah☆
OW:

Battle Sprite:

Other: Rival
----------------------------------------


The best entry might get a little prize from me. ^.^'

Please note that all entries have the possibility of being edited and used in whichever way we think best.

Happy spriting. :o

 

[skyhart]

Grats on winning the contest Agrajag.
I hope you get well soon, Mac.
I agree with Agrajag, swine flu isn't as bad as people have made it seem. You'll be fine. Try not to worry much, and don't worry about the hack either. Rest is always good when having any flu...or any other disease/virus.

 

[Fail-Z]

Great Concept art... great spriting... good luck!

 

[amtrax]

Wow, so many contests.
Maybe i should start one for the mapping...
Anyway, sorry to hear that you got swine flu Mac,
Although it does give some of us a bit of break.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

How's progress of this hack going? :)
Hope everything's going well :)

 

[thelaytonmobile]

Wonder if I should try for the spriting? I've only ever done a single sprite, of an existing pokemon. If I do enter, I just post it here, right?
As for the other contest, a deserving winner, very good story.
And get well soon Mac. Hope the flu isn't too bad.

 

[Vannah☆]

Yep yep, all entries right here. Just try it out guys. ;) You never know ~
