its a shame to see that this project is dying... i dont mean to be rude or anything, but we really need to pick this back up. Originally I just signed up to encourage the team, and help out, but no1 seems to actually do anything.

Aight so i'm gonna try to perk this thread up again.

1. Do we have a complete story-line yet? Not a general outline, but an actual story-line. This includes main conversations, events, etc. If not, what do we have so far? This is mostly for the scripters, cuz if we can atleast detail some of the main events, they can write up the scripts.

2. Can we please start from the first area? No1 seems to want to listen, but we have like 4-5 mappers, and every1 is randomly choosing an area on the map and working. If we start with the first 2-3 towns, that should give us about 8-10 maps. Lets start with that, each mapper does his/her own thing, gets feedback from the team and we compile the whole thing later...

3. Partially hasn't come back yet, so I suggest just working with the default tileset till she comes back. Its either that, or there are plenty of tiles available on the net that we can use. Do we really need 100% custom tiles?

I'm sorry to say, but this thread seems really dead to me. (Unless every1's been secretly working the whole time, then its all good). This had so much enthusiasm in the beginning and it all petered out... what happened?

I hear you loud and clear. I am working on some sprites for the Gym Leaders as well as trying to write up the first little part of the story line.... But I have been really busy with my sprite shop and I think I am going to explode due to the overload.
But to answer your questions"
1. No, we just have the general outlines that are in the old thread.
2. Good idea. We have route 1 done (on the first post) but other than that nothing.
3.Agreed. I think that we have some tiles on DA that mineox showed me, will post them when I find the link.
Also, mappers, forget your current assignments atm. We need to get going or else this hack is going to die. It doesn't help that everyone just suddenly went inactive, but it doesn't mean that we have to all be sitting ducks. So as of now, your assignments are invalid. I will be giving out new assignments ASAP. Expect your PM inbox to be overflowing.

There you go. Have more in the works, not ready to be shown yet. May have to improvise on some of them/redo them since Nino is gone. You can clearly tell what the difference is between my sprites and hers, and I would like them all to look the same.

@cosmo... i was hesitant to say this before, but nino's sprites are horribly pillow shaded. Stick to your shading, it looks better.

also what do u guys think about adding more hacks? like maybe if some of the members have other hacks they have and need help with or something? It would help reduce some of the inactivity, cuz every1 would have something they could work on, but we'd primarily focus on the team hack (Pkm Day nd Night) I kno i'm contemplating a hack and I probably would need some help in the future, so it would be so much easier if i knew some ppl who could help me out with whatever parts instead of having to post in the Help recruitment thread or make another team :P

Hey, do you guys know if we can insert badge sprites? I have some ideas for them and want to sprite them. :P

Yes, we can insert badge sprites we'll just find them somewhere in UNLZ just make sure that they're in 16 colors and on the same size as the badges in the ROM and that's it....:)

@Ark_silvanos

That would be a great Idea since were not getting much progress here, but the other members here are quite busy too, Like Cosmotone8 he's busy from his sprite shop the other's Inactive from either School, Sickness, or LAZINESS :D and Me, I have so much to do with other ppl's hacks but I'm sure many will gradually help you once they are done with their projects :D

Ugghh.... Things cannot get worse. I just found out I have Mono after a trip to the doctor yesterday. Got it when I accidentally took someone's drink. Here is a link for those of you who are interested in what it is. So I'm basically gonna be off PC for a bit till I recover.... Will be checking this thread often since I can't let this fall apart but I'm not going to be spriting at all. :( Real sorry guys, nothing I can really do to get over it.

lol who have u been kissing? :P... but seriously... get well soon, mate. Take your time and get some rest. I have been spriting fakemon, mainly for my own hack, but we can use them here as well (as long as i get the final word on their names and flavor text (for uniformity reasons) other data you guys can decide on. Also, i've been learing a couple of things to incorporate into my own hack, that we could implement here if we need:

They're all pretty easy, so if u guys were already doing them, then just ignore me :P

1. New Items/Evolution Stones (Lol... very very basic... just following JPANs item thread)
2. New Moves
3. New Animations
4. New Abilities (This is very limited... So it would be limited to abilities that directly affect battle... like Iron Fist, and Immunity to a certain type or something, etc.)

^I've never technically tired any of these :P, but based on what i've seen they're pretty easy to implement, so it shouldn't be 2 much of a problem.

Any opinions?

I was talking bout this. If we wanted new moves, it shouldn't be too hard to add a custom background, etc. Or we can just use the one's present already, if we wanted to.
