Bad news:
Sorry guise, but I'm going to have to delay the release for this game. No excuses -- there's just too much to do and not enough time, I think. New projected release date is August 24. It could be sooner though. Sorry :(
Good news:
I've completely updated the OP, including new screenshots.
Take all the time you need, you can never put a release date on a hack since you never know whats going to happen in my view...
I'm liking the new screens though! Finished your first hack which I enjoyed, need to find a suitable Emerald rom for the second though, anyways keep at it. :)
This looks awesome man. I'd suggest you mod the "hero" sprites but I've always liked the white haired guy.. maybe mod the girl sprite? Also hoping there are fakemon and scenery in the battle screens. Would loved to have seen this in Beta form.
Though I must disagree with you on scripting / mapping. I find the former takes no thought and the latter to require creativity, regardless.. good stuff!
I be following this thread as the hack looks great. Just a question, Is it possible to release new screen-shots per week to show process of the hack before the beta or full game? :)
I think you have really good tiles so far, like the gym tiles, I have been wanting to make my own custom tiles on fire red but I can't and I am amazed with your tiles.
Wow! This looks pretty cool. It's nice that it's an emerald hack, and the story is great. :) Trailer looked pretty good to. I can't wait til it's ready.
@hinkage
Uh-oh, this doesn't mean the game is cancelled does it!?
Good job so far looks like a good hack hopefully you won't quit midway. I like how this is a dark hack but it isn't the darkest hack I'd say Destinedjagold's Pokemon Ruby Destiny, Life of Guardians is because it gives death to people and Pokemon who mean something to the player rather than random death but still enjoy the random deaths since it makes it seem like nobody is safe. A beta would be nice so we can play a bit of it so you also don't have to rush your hack a steady hack is a good one even if it takes a while. Anyway, really looking forward to this hack, the trailer made it seem amazing but don't add too many references, a hack will be better if you focus on the storyline but still throw it in every now and then, they are pretty funny (these skitty were Left 4 Dead lol) this is a really good hack so I guess I have some competition but I'll still support you all the way good luck!
After inserting the music over MSN, do you think you could put me in the credits Hinky? And that sneek peek while doing it was awesome
I found a poem in an ancient Greek story book that I want to share in admiration of your l33t h@x0r sk1llz :D
Spoiler:
The things that haven't been done before,
Those are the things to try;
Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore
At the rim of the far-flung sky,
And his heart was bold and his faith was strong
As he ventured in dangers new,
And he paid no heed to the jeering throng
Or the fears of the doubting crew.
The many will follow the beaten track
With guideposts on the way.
They live and have lived for ages back
With a chart for every day.
Someone has told them it's safe to go
On the road he has traveled o'er,
And all that they ever strive to know
Are the things that were known before.
A few strike out without map or chart,
Where never a man has been,
From the beaten path they draw apart
To see what no man has seen.
There are deeds they hunger alone to do;
Though battered and bruised and sore,
They blaze the path for the many, who
Do nothing not done before.
The things that haven't been done before
Are the tasks worthwhile today;
Are you one of the flock that follows, or
Are you one that shall lead the way?
Are you one of the timid souls that quail
At the jeers of a doubting crew,
Or dare you, whether you win or fail,
Strike out for a goal that's new?
Again, can't wait for the release! I find it interesting how you go gold on the first release, rather than doing alpha, beta, and/or gamma stage releases. Keep it up!
