All I can say is wow wow WOW.
You've really decided to take a big helping. 8 regions? Online play? All the pogeymanz?
I hope to god you are very good with Sphere and know what you are doing.
So how far in are you? Have you even started with the movement engine yet? Pokemon battles? Making the maps?
Because from what I an see all you have is ideas. And ideas are okay but what's AWESOME is when you can actually put these ideas into action!
Well, there not all ideas, I have worked on a great many things for this hack, but most things aren't ready to be shown. But that map of Snowpoint that I posted is actually in the game? I've walked in it, the music plays, but the only thing that I have not done is the aniamtion for the snow, but overall, besides the people, zones, and snow, its complete.
So, yes, I have started with the movement engine, (which is already in sphere), I just got to find out how to make some spritesets move faster than others.
I've obviously started on maps, I have all the icons for the items and some other stuff......!!!!!!!! HOLY, I can't believe I forgot to post that in the begging!! *Hitting self on head* Crap... Okay, expect that weekend update to be bigger becuase I just realized that I have some stuff that I completely forgot about.
Anyway...
... but I haven't made a battle system yet, but I'm going to make it as close as possible to the orriginal game as possible. I look at it in a way of; if a gameboy advance can do all that, so can sphere.
I think of myself very good with sphere, but I know I'm not the best, far from the best, especialy at scripting, but I still manage, and I learn something new about sphere every day.
