Even though your account was made in June, it's never too late to get participating in things here. Always room for more, after all. :D Welcome to the amazing Pokecommunity, Flatfoot! Anything you'd prefer to be called? Pretty neat to hear you're part German; I have some family members living there, actually. It's one of the four languages I'd love to learn sometime in the future, though I suppose it's about time to stop putting that off and finally get to it. xD;
Will admit that I've never played Gale of Darkness before, though I did hear some pretty good things about it. Spinoffs in general are games I don't play much... not sure why since they do seem really interesting (especially Mystery Dungeon and Conquest), so I guess it's because the main series Pokemon games eat up most of my time. The
Spinoff Games section would be your best bet for Gale of Darkness-related chatter, so I recommend stopping by there sometime if you'd like to discuss the game with other fans. Any other games you like outside Pokemon, by the way?
We have the amazing Emulation section for all things ROM hacking, which some of our members already linked you to. You'll find a lot of tools, resources, and many other things that are useful for building your own game. Well, just see for yourself, as there's a reason why it's our biggest section here! Just make sure to be within the rules when you post so the staff can keep everything organized. If you're ever confused about how anything works over there, you're more than welcome to contact DrFuji or giradialkia and they'd be happy to help out with anything related to the Emulation section.
See you around and remember that I'm always open to chat if you're looking for a friend! Hope you had a wonderful New Year's. <3
