[Hack of the Year] Pokémon: Azure Horizons

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

The beta does end after you give Leon the Journal. You''ll have to wait for Beta 2, but all Frostbite has left to do is mapping and scripting up to the 4th gym. As for dragoniteuser, those are Emerald tiles. Compare them to the Battle Pike's curtains. I find it interesting and I like how he used the Battle Pike curtains. The reason is because the Battle Pike seems creepy somewhat and Ghost Pokemon like Shedinja and Haunter are creepy. 0.o

if the beta does end over there then why was this game voted for the best of the year if its only loke 20 min long? it seemed like it was kinda boring

he wanted to release a beta soon because people couldn't
wait.
Also it doesn't matter if the game length is short I mean it has 2 gym which is a good amount and it have event.

Screens of Galena City, which will be accessible in Beta 2.

Spoiler:

Also gameplay of Amethyst Gym.

how do u play the hacked game i cant open it

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I didn't know those statues were Sevipers until I saw the video.This is the first Poison type gym I know that actually uses Poison types besides Fuchsia City Pokemon Gym when Janine is Gym Leader. Makes more sense since there probably aren't a lot of Ghost types. Also is Galena City's Gym accessible in Beta 2 or is it in a later Beta? I am also guessing the big tower in the second screenshot is a Lighthouse.

First get a clean pokemon firered rom
just google it.
Then get download the file that contain pokemon azure horizon
and before that go get lunar ips and patch on the Pokemon firered rom
and there you go Pokemon Azure Horizon.

the graphics look amazing in this... that is part of the reason why it was voted HOTY

[DuoRyan]

I love the look of Galena City where it has port and has a Caribbean feeling to it.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Does Galena's Lighthouse have a similarity to Olivine or Sunyshore's Lighthouses? I'm guessing we can battle trainers in there like Olivine's Lighthouse probably. I'm also guessing the Galena City Pokemon Gym is the fifth and is a Water type Gym.

[Frostbite]

Here are some screens of Hazel Town Pokémon Gym. This is the last Gym you'll be able to challenge in Beta 2. I'm not very happy with the tiles, so the Gym's appearance will differ a little from the playable beta.

Spoiler:

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I'm guessing Beta 2 of Azure Horizons has four/ five gyms. Do we get to challenge Galena City's gym leader? I am guessing Hazel Town used to be Livy Town but you changed the gym's type along with the city so it wasn't too much like Fire Red. Also I like Robyn's sprite.

Also, since people have been complaining on the difficulty of the 1st Gym, I decided to change Quinn's team around.

I like the new sprites, I was kinda getting tired of the same ones from FR/LG

Here's a screenshot of Amethyst's Gym. I'm very happy on how the layout came to turn out.

Spoiler:

I'm glad too, I like these tiles a lot

Spoiler:

Well I certainly like them, except the ladders though, they could be stairways or elevator lifts, just suggesting......

[Chimchar 9]

I love the gym tiles, I think they're great! Though I think you should change the walls, so it's got a sky wallpaper or something.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Like I said in another thread I'm going to wait until the beta is released to have my questions answered. This game is my favorite ROM Hack, but as said before I will keep questions to myself. I'll post when a new beta is released, when I do post, I will post glitches that appear, help others that need help, etc. I do post more than anyone in this thread, I haven't checked yet, but I probably do.

Seeing the Hazel Town Pokemon Gym is the fourth gym you showed us, I'm guessing it is the fourth obviously and we won't be taking on Galena City's Gym. I will find out where the beta ends when Beta 2 is released, but as for now I will wait.

[sir.euge]

hopefully some of those gyms will be like a puzzle cuz if its not then ill just feel like im going through the motion. itll be like a little kids game with clues everywhere where to go. hope you make it very challenging rather than just like firered where you defeat the gymlesders and then fite the elite four. make it suuper hard.

[nasonex]

You've been working so hard for this Hack!

Hopefully the Beta 2 is ready and I'm guessing that you're still
testing it for bugs and glitches so that you can release a bug-free
and glitch-free Beta.

Anyways Good Luck on this one! :3

[Ayesha]

I love this game! I played a little bit so far, and the graphics are sprites are stunning. =) Most people are complaining that it's too short, but I love it. Keep up the great work please!

[altariaking]

This hack is....well....amazing. At first, I didn't think it would be a very good hack, boy was I wrong.
This hack is one of the best there is right now, good work
...Also, why isn't this stickied anymore?

[Sarcastic Prince]

Robyn's sprite is awesome.
I really liked it. Considering that you said that Hazel Town's gym is the last gym you'll
battle in Beta 2, I'm guessing that Beta 2 has 4 gyms?

[zapdosa]

Wow that is very nice. Better than emerald.

[Frostbite]

I'm happy to announce that Beta 2 is near completion! It should be released pretty soon.
I don't have anything else to say so here are some screenshots.

Spoiler:

[DuoRyan]

Wow after a long wait beta 2 is about to be release soon.
I love the screenshot especially screen #3.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I like the new screenshots. I'm guessing we will be going on a cruise ship in Beta 2 or a warehouse in Galena City. I like Leon's sprite, it fits him since in Beta 1 he had a Super Nerd sprite in battle. I will wait soon for Beta 2 to comment again!

[Chaos Rush]

Will we be able to use our old save files, or do you recommend starting a new one? After all, who knows what you could have done in a year...
