Project Steam - Recruiting

Introduction

Hello people! We're the team behind this hack. We're giving you some details about us first, so if you're not interested in that, simply skip to the next section.

Papayaperson: I'm Anthony, and I need help creating a ROM hack! I've been wanting to for years, and for 3 years I've attempted learning, and even some mild hacking. I have decent all-around skills, but this has proven to be too much work for one person. My goal here is to create a hack that follows the classic unspoken rules of a Pokemon game, including the pattern for starter designs, eight gyms, post-game, HM moves, etc. I'm hoping that I get some responses and get moving on this game ;D

Reshilegend: Sup, I'm the second guy behind this hack. I joined a long time ago and I'm in charge of the graphics, like tiles, sprites etc. I'm also designing Fakemon. You can check out the main hack thread, or message either of us for more information, if this thread isn't informative enough for you :)

The Project

AllLogosSmall_zps91974003.png

Currently, we are working on Project Steam. The hack will actually be divided into two separate versions, Shining Waters and Hazing Flames (thus, steam). The differences are mainly parts of the story, version exclusive Pokemon etc. We haven't decided the version differences completely at this point though. It takes place in the Charpa Region, which is divided into several sectors. These sectors are different in terms of nature, wild Pokemon and so on. The game starts in the mountain sector, and we're now working on the beginning of the beach sector. Think of it like the different Kalos sections in XY. So, you can really see that we're trying to include a variety of places for the region to explore. It is a classic style Pokemon game, meaning the player still has to fill the Pokedex, go through 8 gyms, battle the Elite 4, etc. However, there will be new features that will add to the experience. For example, we're adding gym leader challenges. These small quests are required to get access to a gym, and each gym leader has their own special quest that challengers have to complete.
One of the main features of this hack will be the Fakemon. We're investing a lot of time in the designs to make sure that they look good. However, some of them are not final, so their design could still change. It depends on your feedback if we change a certain Mon or keep it as it is! Now, we know many people don't like Fakemon, which is why we'll also include regular Pokemon, of course.The stories of certain Pokemon and the goal of Team Next ('Evil' Team) will be centered around Norse Mythology.

Current Progress

We have completed
- a good amount of Fakemon (back-)sprites,
- concept art,
- several early-game maps,
- almost no progress with scripts (due to the lack of scripters who were staying on the team, now we're catching up though!),
- several new music tracks from different games
- and a very well-along story and plot.

Also, we're currently working on character designs/important people in the game. Here are a few examples of our work:

Btw just so u guys know In the "media" spoiler, the area shown in the gif in the lower right hand corner is also in the Sinnoh region, on the route to the right of Pastoria city.
Just thought you guys might wanna know, as from what I can tell its pretty close to that area.

Edit: I checked in my pokemon pearl and its pretty close, but far enough so I doubt anyone else will notice :o

Messaged you, habit.
Turtles, I'll pm you about your proof of work. And I have no idea why you think that area is a copy of a Sinnoh map, cause I made it from scratch and I never played DPPT, so yeah. Definitely not intentional.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of copying the sinnoh map. Its just I played Platnum recently and noticed that they were similar, just in case you were self conscious about your maps being too close to non-hack game maps.

Hopefully you didn't get the wrong idea from it :/
