FireRed hack: Pokemon Luria.

this looks interesting im going to try it.

Thank you for sharing，new hack is good

A new hack? It's very nice :D
The story is simple but good.
I'll try the hack and let you know what I think.

Okay i've finished the beta. The game is not bad.
Many text are strange anyway. This is my team:
I know, is very odd and low.

And here there are some bug that i found:


Keep it up!
I can not wait for the new beta!

This hack is great, but in order for it to be more appealing, you have to include more screenshots of a variety of places. I know you're trying not to spoil too much for the potential players. But hey! let's face it, how much can a map spoil eh? I'll be playing later on. Good luck with the progress of your hack! this has a LOT of potential from what I have seen.

Hey, doesn´t look bad. Hope that you´ll finished this hack since I already liked your previous hack ideas. Good luck!

No. It doesn't need more screenshots for it to be more appealing. More screenshots doesn't mean more people. It depends on the quality and time being spent on it. That being said, you're mapping could use some work. The 3rd, 5th and 6th screenshot looks so plain. Why not add like more trees, rocks, decorations, etc?

I will help I am really wanting to make a Hack but don't have time,but now I do Have time I will make story line and help map ok! Contact me ASAP please I want to Help!

Yeah i was thinking on adding another tree tile but i go for a nintendo/natural style
i don't like natural style on it's own. Too much grass and it's harder to maneuver.

Sorry, i'll update it hopefully tomorrow if i don't have work
i'm going to work on this tonight if i can.


Anyways guys thanks for the feedback and i hope i can deliver some satisfaction :P

hey can I help? Since ur on now?

Hey OZ,
I'm interested in applying on your project.
I'm down for spriting or story development.
I have worked on hacks before, and also attemped to make my own hack (pokemon corrupted version) if it's still rolling on this forum.

Anyway, proof of spriting?: Some of my work on other games.

youtube.com/watch?v=YtRhL0GByV0

So let me know.

BTW Just tested your game, the story sucks, yeah that can be fixed.

My suggestions:
A. Have an unique purpose since the start, don't waste text on chatting the generic best poke trainer of the world, induce some drama of one simple thing.
e.g. Those Houndours are scaring out your little sister again, go beat them down!
#2: I'll bet down 2k grand if you win against me brother, find me in front of X gym.
#3: Just found your girlfriend cheating on you, she also took your pokemon, go get them back from her and send her to hell.

Some push to the intro.

B. Damn mate use another starters, (and please no fire, grass and water type again!)

C. Give the player running shoes as sooner as possible, even when walking down the stairs. We players go tired of walking.

D. No catching tutors, we know the hell of how to catch a pokemon.

Yeah just some suggestions there, feel free to follow or not. Best luck for you mate.

Thanks for the ideas and criticism, but with this hack i'm just trying to stay true to the pokemon formula, besides i already have some ideas for how i'm going to spice it up soon, i just need someone good at editing dialogue. :P

You have told me once before, when you open a thread, you immediately go to the screenshots section. That proves that it is the screenshots that rates most peoples' interest. If I gave you a movie and a book, which would you watch/read first? 3/4 the people will actually watch the movie first. So, in this thread's case, the screenshots are like the movie, which more people would rather ''watch'' and the story is the other text and stuff.

This is looking really good!
I don't want to sound too forward or anything, but I was wondering if you would be able to give me some help in changing the battle backgrounds/bases. I've been attempting to do it on my rom, but the tilemaps always mess up.
Thanks for hearing me out,
and in all honesty I think the tiles and everything looks very professional.
Custom music is a big plus as well, not many hacks out there with that!

Thanks for that, btw i've forwarded you a PM for battle backgrounds...

Anyways as i promised!!!

UPDATES!!!


New Door animation for Pokécentre and gym!

As well as new Houses for Serian Town

Just a side note. For the weekdays i'll be doing everything graphical whether it be new tiles, maps blah blah.

And in the weekends when i have the most time i'll be scripting.
So you can expect some script updates in the weekends and graphical updates in the weekdays.

Sorry for not posting, the internet i get in my country
is terrible, and my parents are always paranoid about me
when i'm on the internet so they only let me on for a very
short amount of time :|
(if your interested in price for usage it's $85 for 4.25gb -.-)

ANYWAYS UPDATES!!!

Todays a big one guys since i've had a lot of time for this,
so here we go.





BREEDERS!
These guys are just like in BW2, they'll rebattle you every
time you re-enter the area, but unlike they're BW2 counterpart
you have to talk to them to start a battle.
The breeders will appear on a route after every town with a gym in it
and before every town with a gym in it AFTER Wolkan City.

This is just a screeny of a house up on Route 4's hill.
I wonder what's inside.

Finally i got the inside battle background to work!
If your asking why i only just got it now,
the inside battle background is terrible to edit it has a terribly
limited amount of palletes, (Just try inserting your own and you'll find out why)

Also you may have noticed, there's a new OW.
Yup that will be the male hero for the hack, thanks to my spriter
for that, very grateful to have one.


Last but not least in the picture updates, the snowy
side of the region, this area will take place in the snowiest
parts of Luria which is the mountain to the far west of Wolkan city.

I have also added in some new music. specifically the BW cave music,
no it doesn't replace the mt ember music so we have a wide variety ;)

Again on the music topic, i've added new instrments to the voicegroups
so the RSE imported music has no synthy sounding instruments anymore.
It sounds nearly exactly like in RSE (Except for the Team 1.5.1 battle music, i remixed that ages ago for some reason)

Not only that, i've added in the playerfacing asm from Jambo51's asm knowledge,
tyvm Jambo. If you don't know what that does, it makes it that when you battle a trainer
you now face them, instead of facing the way you were walking.

Also, i've remapped the first town and
the 2nd route, as well as removing the need to go back
to grandpa to get the running shoes, now you start off with them.

And for another thing that's instore for the next beta is a
re-map of the gyms.

Yup, our gyms will have special scripts and ideas.


Also, The textbox is only temporary,
i'll change it to something else later on.

I've also fixed the battle boxes and the pokeball symbol,
they are now BUG-free and still look wonderful!


Planned for beta 2:
Physical special split
Some new music: (50% done)
MALE sprites female sprites and rival sprites done. (maybe simon.)
Revamped gyms


Help needed section:
I would really like a REALLY REALLY good mapper to
re-map most the game and do maps for me,
let's just face the facts. My maps are bland boring and too small!

(Not needed as much, but still needed sometime)Someone who's really good at music hacking
that can be able to demix BW, DP and HGSS music into FRLG style, (specifically battle music)
i can provide you with your own Voicegroup if you'd like.

Also i'd like someone to redraw my world map in DPPT style
using wesley fg's DPPT tileset.

Well that's all for today people, it's not as big as i'd like
but i'd like to say that progress is steady and i hope to finish all
the *SCRIPTING* events up to the 4th gym by the second term/semester (About april for me)
But even if all the events are done it'll still take a while to polish
the hack and add features that i want in.

But i promise that Beta 2 will make up for what beta 1 lacked. WHICH IS FUN!

Very beautiful hack indeed! Best of luck with this, hope you get this ended because I prefer playing complete hacks. The overworld is very nice and also you could replace some of the pokemon sprites , if not all then some of the most important such as the starters, or the main legendary's. Anyways good luck again! :D

Currently in first town outside of hometown.

Just some minor issues/questions:

1.

There is no mart.

2.





Some graphical glitches

3.

Is that "jump back" place supposed to be there?

4.

Where is the pokemon picture?

5.

Text inconsistencies. Girl says Grandfather, but here it says Papa?

6.

The Gary battle sprite is used, but the Red overworld sprite is used.

7. Why is there are a Pikachu just outside town (never mind). Also confused about that Omanyte.

8. You should change the title screen from Fire Red.

9. Perhaps actually put Professon Gillian in place of Oak. Maybe?

10. Not all towns named on World Map

11. Please change sprite from Rocket Sprite!

1. Great Work Overall.

The pikachu is


The omanyte was supposed to be a shiny event
don't you realise those funny looking rocks?
there for rock jumping which will be in the next beta.

Don't worry i've remapped the first town and fixed the graphical glitches
i've also fixed the text errors and mostly fixed everything that was wrong in beta 1.

Also the jump ledge is for jumping down,
you can jump over that mountain tile to get down there and there will be
a hidden item :P

Thanks for the positive comments, yeah i'm going to replace all the Pokémon sprites after Chaosrush finishes 3rd gen in his spriter resource,

Also the title screen should be in Beta 2 as well :P

Also with the help needed:
I take back the beta testing thing,

If you'd like to beta test this hack send me a PM
i'll probably just let you play anyways

i'll take 5 people, i'm so sick of replaying my hack to test bugs -.-
