Emerald hack: Pokemon Hyetology

[gam3r!]

So its 's progressing "smoothly"

[pikakitten]

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!

Wow its a pretty interesting storyline and the references are pretty funny:D.I will definitely try it out!

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!

Hi.

Normally I wouldn't do this, and I've resisted for awhile, but this is one of my favorite maps and I just had to share.

Spoiler:

It came out super amazing, I think. I'm sure other people have done a lot better/could do a lot better but I like it ;D

[Notepads]

The maps look a bit spaced out, like the trees and buildings. Looks a bit empty in places but keep it up! Looks good :D

[destinydownloads]

I think it looks really good bro will it be used for your hack?

Okay everyone, this Friday is the big day! I have to be honest though, not everything will be 100% done. So far it's looking like all 8 Gyms and a full story, but no miscellaneous houses/sidequests, and some dungeons are missing, due to time constraints.

One day, I plan to make every house have a door and people in it. However, today is not that day. I hope you can all be patient and enjoy what I've made thus far.

So, again, current status is:
8 Gyms
Complete story
No random houses (technically, the first three towns have them but after that there's none)
No corrupted music (a first for an Emerald hack)

Also, starters come at level 15 so expect higher levels throughout the game. Hope you're all excited :D

Future plans:
Every house enter-able
Music repointing for certain Trainers (to better convey the mood)

The rest are secret.

good to hear you're nearing completion , take your time to complete it and don't add pressure to yourself

[hinkage]

I forgot to add:

I'm sorry to everyone who was expecting a full release. I do everything myself, and want to have a life too so please be patient.

[gam3r!]

What do you actually mean no random houses ?
Besides everyone has a life and there is no time limit to complete it honestly i don't really care when a hack is finished but if it's finished

[PokemonMasters]

what do you mean by random houses?

[hinkage]

Random houses = houses you can visit and talk to people, but don't contribute to the story at all.

[gam3r!]

I understand what you mean...But i'm ok with it !

[Toomsey]

excited to play this! looks amazing from the screenshots!

[pok3monfan1]

I wouldn't quite say first. Pokémon DarkViolet, an old Emerald hack, didn't have corrupted music Although your hack is probably the first hack with this amount of progress to not have corrupted music.

[marek7793]

Your hack is amazing...from screenshots xD but what do you mean by starters lvl 15? Are they gonna evolve at the original lvl 16/17/18 or they must have higher lvls like 25?
