Progress Report
(Actual update begins on the third paragraph)
It's been a long time since we've updated this thread, so to all who are following the hack, thanks for being patient. We've been struggling finding team members that continue to respond, and so we've been unable to complete any scripting, and thus, we cannot present you with more screenshots yet :/ Our new member, Zoro, has begun working on scripts so we should start to see progress in that field. I'd expect to give (at the very least) two new screenshots by the end of September.
As far as the rest of the hack goes, I'm happy with our progress :D. Considering how many consistent team members we have, we've made a very fair amount of progress with Mapping, the Pokedex, Fakemon, Sprites, and, of course, the Plot. We still lack progress in Music and Scripts so any help with those is needed. Now, since I'd hate to leave you all with absolutely no updates for such a long time, this update includes very small things about the game.
For those of you that are wondering about whether or not there will be any original Pokemon featured in the game, the answer is yes! There will be several original Pokemon featured in the game's Pokedex, which, at the moment, has 125 confirmed entries. Some original Pokemon that are being featured include the Poliwag, Dunsparce, Drifloon, Starly, Carnivine, Munna, Lunatone & Solrock, Plusle & Minun, Magnemite, and Lapras. Keep in mind that these aren't simply random Pokemon; they each play a role in the story in some significant way. As for Fakemon now... We have several Fakemon that are being featured in the game. I do not want to reveal sprites or images until the 13th, like I had promised in an earlier update, but for those of you wondering, one of the new Pokemon is named Cryolite. It is a Rock/Psychic-type and is the Star Pokemon. Another is named Veilump. It is the shortest Pokemon in the game, and it is a Ground-type. More Fakemon and even more sprites are coming soon, but something else I will reveal is that most original Pokemon featured are going to have new additions to their evolutionary lines or similar additions. For those of you wishing to see more, the hacks deviantART page is accessible at
http://pokemonswhf.deviantart.com/ and it features things that have not been revealed on this page, and we will continue to update it with exclusive content, so I suggest that those of you following the hack Watch our dA page.
Please keep in mind that we are not artists, and we do not have any artists. The art is perfect.
The next update is about Team Next, our hack's evil organization. Team Next is a rebellious group of workers from the NextClear Power Co., a company in Charpa that provides the entire region with clean, all-natural electricity. Their intent is to convert the company's electricity sources from all-natural sources to a type of nuclear power that would save them money and allow them to perform dangerous experiments using the waste of their energy production. This experimentation has led to the "discovery" of many new species of Pokemon. The goal of these experiments is not currently known to the citizens of Charpa, but more reports indicate that the experiments are causing many Pokemon to flee from their natural environments.
That just about does it for this update! Thanks to anyone following the hack, I'll try to update the thread more regularly. Our next update is coming Friday, September 13th, and it may just be something evil ;D
