Emerald hack: Pokémon: Discovery

[Demon Wolf]

i'm thinking this might be it for beta testers. have enough as it is, nothing really necessary to beta test. i'm pretty good at spotting stuff so when it comes to bugs or errors what beta testers we already have pick them up so we dont need any more beta testers... they can wait for the beta release!

Cant wait 4 beta it will b like Christmas for me when I play it!

Awesome! Beta testers, do your job well and don't just enjoy the game play! :P I wanna try it out too! <3

Well two of the main beta testers are me and Le Pug so we can't actually do the job of checking for bugs not well or we're gonna get flamed badly. xD
And we have another person working with us name Ninja Surskit, who is doing some beta testing and maybepossiblyscripting(?) and is working on his own hack in the Progressing hacks section and it's a good read so far so be sure to check it out. ;)
Thanks for checking out the thread by the way. We really appreciate it.

-UPDATE TIME-
So, progress has still been good, the Korowai Hill part is completely done and we are now working on a cave that links Korowai to Berry City (I know, it sounds uncreative but it is a very unique part that is so far exclusively to this hack, so I'm not gonna give away anything). Now, this cave is not only a connector but serves as a place to have a battle with a certain rival for the first time. He/She is going to have a variety and has a pokemon linked with three of the main character's pokemon. He/She has three pokemon and will be in a good range in levels on par with the protagonist.

adding to this, there will be several level of will events too. Maybe two in the cave and some in berry city. Anyways, if you don't know what level of will is, check the last post of the last page or so lol. Tcoppy explained it pretty well. Just inserted the backsprites and fixed the palette (took me two days while working 12 hour work days too so) now I'm about to start working on the next map! Woo #teamdiscovery

Umn are there going to be like rivals and gym badges

Um...is this a question?

And I'm also positive we discussed the talisman fragements in this thread replacing the badges.
Now I'm not asking you to read a whole lot, but can you please read the main post and some posts above yours on the same page? I just explained that a rival will appear in a certain cave almost directly above your post. Please read stuff before you ask questions so me and Le Pug don't have to repeat anything. That goes to everybody who reads this comment as well. Thanks.

How big is the region? Seems fairly small

I lol'd.

How big is the region? Seems fairly small

Well, we are not limited to the amount of "badges" so in theory it's big enough ... when we say so.

There are 15 cities and towns in the Hoenn region, for example. With Littleroot and Oldale counted as two (saying this due to the close locations... could also add the next town over too because it's a little packed). You're supposed to be on a shipwreck island, there are others who have survived there before you so there will be different places. 15 = Hoenn, planned for Lexerex = 11 We still have time to change this as we go but if it just seems to be dragging out the game we won't add new cities for the hell of it. We have side paths you can take to find hidden treasures or puzzles, etc. so it's really up to you to figure out where you want to go. By the third city you should see either a lvl 25ish solo pkmn or lvl 15 full party... so with that said, that means we have a lot to work with still so it's possible we decide to add more content.

Let me add to this and state that even though this "region" is small, it's still going to be a long game with all the puzzels and sidequest and not even that, the story itself is pretty long too, but not too long. If a hack doesn't have a "big" region, it really doesn't have an impact on the story or gameplay in the slightest.

Not sure, but there will be a number of pre-evo and evo Pokemon added to the game alongside very few, but greatly designed fakemon. I know some peeps hate fakemon and personally I do too but I have a spriter working for me that is very experienced, he has sprited for us the best fakemon I've ever seen.

Also hack update.. Forest Path 3, which connects Korowai Hill to the cave that leads to Berry City has been completely finished in design and events! Quickly bursted through that map because I'm trying my best to get to Berry City which will be an amazing eventful city and the final city of the first beta! There will be a secret maze on the way to Berry City too but that'll be for you to find!

Did I just hear there was gonna be fakemon in this game? Heck yeah! I love fakemon, don't really understand why they get so much hate poor little guys.
Oh a secret maze, eh? There better be something good at the end of it

Sorry I miswrote the bit about the pre-evos and evos. There will be fakemon also. So far we have evolutions for Cacturne, Dunsparce, Girafarig, Banette, Qwilfish, etc.

And yes there will be a prize of course! One thing I'm big on is sidequests and mazes. The player is having fun doing the main questchain but maybe he wants to turn down a secret path... So far, we aren't even three cities in yet and have three mazes lined up including a modified Ruins of Alps event, a swamp which you must use dive in (ew right?) and a secret map which leads the player down an Abyssal Ruins-type maze. All challenging and all rewarding.

I expect everyone who plays to be the above average player. If you can download a rom and apply the patch, you are obviously looking for more challenging and fun Pokemon games. I'm here to give you a hack that's both interactive in story, interactive in gameplay, filled with lots of sounds, modified graphics and Pokemon.

I'll make sure to upload to a website that is mobile-friendly. I think doperoms will allow me to add it in, so all mobile players from Android and iPhone can download and play on the go

**Update**

Alright so I added in the cave (which will be called Argyle Cave) into the hack. It connects Berry City and Forest Path 3. This means all that's left for the hack is to script up the cave, berry city, add a few side maps and events and fix up interface, colors, titlescreen, add a few song tracks, then done for first beta
