Well I think that extends to a bigger question that can be extended to a lot of RPGs. I can't see any reason that it would be unprofessional. I mean, there are ways to make it more professional, but speaking protags really depend on whether the storytelling hinges on it. I don't see anything wrong with it, and depending on the game it can really strengthen the story.What do you guys think about when in hacks the player speaks? Do you think it looks unprofessional or you don't mind?
Yeah, there are some hacks where I'll be playing with what I thought was a silent protagonist, and then all the sudden, just randomly, this different colored text will come in and I'll be like "Wha- who said that?" Only to read over the following lines to see that the protag unzipped his lips to give his two cents.Either way, there need to be clear rules to how you do it. Many people mistake bing make them silent but then have random outbursts.
In hoping to balance that out in mine, by having voiced flashbacks but a silent present. Tempted to just change it to a narration though, but that might get weirder xD.
It's the same as with JRPGs.What do you guys think about when in hacks the player speaks? Do you think it looks unprofessional or you don't mind?
How many of you hex edit when you hack? Just saw a thread about it in the Beginner's Lounge, and it made me curious. lol
I don't hex edit to the extent you posted in that thread (O_o, well, if it works!), but I'm definitely no stranger to hex editing lolHow many of you hex edit when you hack? Just saw a thread about it in the Beginner's Lounge, and it made me curious. lol
I hex edit, and I would definitely encourage you to pick up hex editing. Why? Because you can do so much more with hex editing. You no longer have to rely on IPS files for expanding movesets, tables etc., you can look at how people did it and adjust things to fit your rom. It's great having control over your rom, wouldn't you agree?How many of you hex edit when you hack? Just saw a thread about it in the Beginner's Lounge, and it made me curious. lol

EDIT: I just looked at that thread, and wow you actually hex edit more than I do on a regular basis. Kudos to you.
I just like tinkering with code and numbers. It's probably the most fun part of hacking for me. lolI don't hex edit to the extent you posted in that thread (O_o, well, if it works!), but I'm definitely no stranger to hex editing lol
Time for me to add a question?
Do you guys want rom hacking to get easier or stay is it is?
Exactly! Who wouldn't choose seppuku?!When I read this question, I don't see the difference between it and "Would you rather a cupcake or commit seppuku?"
That's seriously kinda weird question... how exactly easier?Time for me to add a question?

If things get too easy it takes away the brilliance of what people have achieved with their own knowledge, you know? :) Maybe some things could be developed but a bit of challenge is actually quite enjoyable ><.
