Good ^^, but we should wait until I have more things done and probably until I release a beta, because I still don't have too much scripts done xD. I think I still have a lot of work :3

Story sounds interesting, tiles look good, new music is great, new bag UI looks great, keep up the good work. I know you just started and it'll be awhile before you consider doing an English translation but when and if you do, I'd be down to play this. Good luck!

Jeez, hacks like these always catch me off guard no matter what! I had trouble believing this was a Ruby hack at first, and I can usually tell the diff.. but besides that, the stuff you've shown off so far looks great! Can't wait to see more.

Looks like a great game, can't wait for the almost complete versions and Moonlight Sonata for title screen music, not something I would do, but overall, it's a great choice.

This hack looks absolutely stellar! You non-English folks really do tend to have a higher bar set when it comes to quality, I have to admit that.

As far as graphics go, you've used those tiles (I've seen them before) well enough. The story, from what I can tell, seems really thought out. I get the suspicion it sounded lovely in your native language judging from the vocabulary that made it through! :P

Looking good! You're mapping looks really great, and I'm looking forward to seeing how your scripting will fit into it all! :)

And here's a few translations for our non-Spanish speaking members:

"That ability is more dangerous than you'd think. It's coveted by evil."


"Synesthesia Beach / The most peaceful and tranquil beach."

Thanks for translating those 2 :b (I didn't think about it ^^'). I still need to improve my scripting level, but I've been busy with other things (investigating moves' effects), but I just finished it. I've already decided that in the next update I will show a large script and probably the new added attacks, and I don't know if something more, we'll see xD

Coveted? Why not just say something like "Evil yearns for it" or if you want to be fancy "It tempts evil"

Because coveted makes the most sense there. That's why.

Oh wow! What a nice looking hack! I really like your story. It has a very mysterious vibe to it and your hack seems to have a nice atmosphere around it that makes you uneasy about what could happen next.

Spanish hacks always got the best hackers. I really loved the tiles and everything, it's so beautiful!

Thanks Fun Size and Sniper for your comments, I'm glad you liked it ^^

I'm posting to let you know about a poll I just made. I'm not sure what I should do about the Semitransparent Textbox (the one of the following screenshot:)



I was going to keep it only for signs, and keep a non-transparent Textbox for persons messages and so. But then I thought to put the semitransparent textbox on every text of the hack (or at least almost everyone of them). What would you like more?

Also, I edited the first post explaining some features of the hack. Some are obvious, but there are others that aren't.

Honestly I'd prefer if you went back to the normal non-transparent textbox, but that's just me. Transparent textboxes seem a bit overdone in Ruby hacks these days.

I prefer the normal textbox, I recomend the transparent only if you make any modification to the texbox (Like the transparent textbox of my hack).

Suerte con el hack tio, que mola como va!!!

As a huge Pokémon Ruby fan, I am going to say this hack can win awards. I wish I could it play it. (No Spanish, :( )

First of all, thanks everyone for commenting :b.

Well, I didn't want to come without nothing, sorry ^^', but I needed to inform you all. I've been very busy with school, so I haven't had time to hack. That means, unfortunately, that I haven't done anything since the last time (excepting thinking of new ideas for the hack). Now I'll be able to continue with it more frequently, and I hope to come with a few updates on the following weeks, with screenshots/videos and so ^^

So this post doesn't feel empty, here are a few ideas (they will all happen along with the storyline):

-Robbery at Liren City's Bank (I won't explain more: a large script where obviously your decisions will be very important)

-The Witch's House / The Fairy's House will be located in recondite places. You can trade special items found around the world with the Witch / the Fairy for their incantations, and in exchange they will make your Pokemon to learn special Moves. You will only be able to enter one kind of house, and it depends on if you are a "good" or a "bad" person (your decisions throughout the game).

-Hard items like HM, Amulet Coin or so, will only be obtainable on Temples, places full of puzzles and strong Pokemon (you can imagine those temples like the ones that are in The Legend of Zelda, to make an idea xD). At the middle and the end of the temples there will be a very strong Pokemon and a Legendary Pokemon, guarding a very special item. Though it won't be easy to get to the temple's entrance. There will be 7 temples in total, and they will be related to a type of Pokemon (Water, Ghost, etc.)

-The names of the main characters (Male and Female) have been decided (although you still can choose the name you want). They will be Derek and Dakota respectively. They're siblings.

-Your sister/brother (depending on which character you chose) will met a drug addict (Jared or Janeth, again depending on which character you chose) and will fall in love with him/her. Your decisions here will be very important too. Do you think persons are able to change?

-Aren? Town's War. Such a Hack needed that point on the story. Avarice always cause wars, and make innocent soldiers turn into assassins for the good of rich people. As always, Darkrai will be there, waiting in the dark. This time you will incarnate a soldier, and your decisions can change the entire world. Dying is an option, of course.


There are other ideas, but they aren't that important on the storyline. To sum up, I'd like to say that the Textbox will remain Semitransparent for most of the messages (thanks for voting!). The Textbox could be better, I know, but I don't think I'm able to change it as my ASM level is null (I need to learn a lot).

I will be working on some scripts to show you, and some videos. I would also like to implement important Sprites/Minisprite by the time I post an update, but we'll see xD
