[Tropical Sunlight]

Looks exceptionally good, I like the new Azure City and the screenshot where you battle Taillow best

I don't mind not having all of the pokemon, it's actually better than being able to catch them all, as you never get enough room in PC boxes to have more than one of all of them (*not sure about other games, but that's the case in DPPl*)

This game is looking better than ever! Beta 3 is gonna rule!
Then again, I should probably start on Beta 2, heh, I patched it then forgot to play it...

Those screenshots are really good, just made my day, well for rom hacking anyway.
Looking forward to teh beta!

[Lugiaz Soul]

I love the new Azure City, especially the way you made the port. You inspire me a lot.

[Chimchar 9]

I loved the updates! I haven't played the up to date beta just because I'm busy, but I hope to soon. Anyway, good luck!

I enter Galena City with 4 badges. I try and go to the gym and someones blocking it. I go into the warehouse and theres another man blocking the path saying i need to have more badges. I also need a s.s. anne card. help please?

[RetroHermit]

This looks excellent, you've definitely made me a supporter.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I believe you are working on Beta 3 now, obviously. I like how you had made cities bigger than they were like Azure City and Greenwood Town. I wonder of Amethyst City will be bigger, but most likely it won't. Still great updates!

[Frostbite]

Just thought I would add in a cool easter egg of sorts.

Spoiler:

Faraway Island will be accessible in the hack. At which point in the game you'll be able to go here, I haven't decided yet. I just thought it would be nice to add this in since Faraway Island isn't legitimately accessible outside of Japan.

Also, I've made it so Mew will obey when caught in the wild, otherwise I wouldn't be adding Faraway Island in the game in the first place.

Just finished the beta, really straightforward and simple, how a Pokemon game is meant to be.

By the way I haven't found HM Flash, where do you get it?

Another note, was it intentional to make the trainer's Weezing Lv.49 this early in the game? (Sewers)

[AmanoYuki]

Gah, I STILL haven't played this yet... what is wrong with me?
Anyway, I like the easter egg!
Catching Mew is gonna be cool, I'm looking forward to it.

Hmmm... I might just wait for Beta 3 and play that, and, knowing me, I'll have to force myself to find time to do that... never enough time in the day, you know? But, I'm rambling, so I will shut up and just finish by saying... Keep up the good work, Frostbite!

[benJAMIN536]

okay, PROBLEM. I have a lvl 26 polywhirl and I currently have a waterstone, but it says it will have no effect, WHERES MY POLYWRATH??
Edit: What the heck? None of the evolutionary stones are working either! eevee won't take anything either!

[Meri-tje]

I just downloaded and played beta 2
Yay for blond girl sprite
And yay for the beautiful blue in the beginning
And blue text boxes <3
And the blue flowers <3
Ok I'll stop there lol

Despite there being a post in the past month, it was deleted and thus is invalid. So I'm afraid this counts as thread revival, Meri-tje

Frostbite, if/when you want this reopened, contact either myself or colcolstyles.

Thread reopened at the request of the thread owner. :)

For the past few months I haven't been working on Azure Horizons at all due to the fact that uni and my job has given me very little free time to work on other stuff. However, I'm on holiday from uni for a month so I'll be dedicating as much time I can to the hack. With that, here are some updates.

I've recently gotten the hang of music hacking so tracks from other video games will be in the hack. Here's the theme for the Elite Four in Azure Horizons (which is the theme from B/W's E4).

I've also edited the battle interface as well.

Spoiler:

As for the sprites, almost all of the Pokémon front sprites have been edited and replaced with their fourth or fifth generation counterparts, palettes and all.

Cheers.

Great to see this hack back up and running; Can't wait to see any more improvements to Azure Horizons...one of the first hacks I've played here.

Good luck with your hack and happy holidays! :D

[Facelift]

Three cheers for Azure Horizons!
Along with rijonAdventures & Sienna, this is one of the few hacks that is straightforward and fun at the same time! I got scared when this thread was locked...

PS. Since B1 had 2 gyms and B2 had 4, will B3 have around 6 gyms?
Seems like a pattern here.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Since a beta wasn't released this year I'm not sure how long it will be up to. I like the Elite Four battle remix, Pokemon Platinum HP Bars, and the decapitalized Pokemon names update that appear. I guess day and night will be another feature in game since I saw red, probably evening, in your video battling against Wallace, I guess it will also affects battles like in the 4th and 5th generation too which is what I also like.

[Indescribled]

I tried to give a thunderstone to my Eevee, but I wasn't able to. Came up as no use.

[Shiraishi]

Hope I can play this on my phone, will post screenshot if successful.

[chrunch]

Great to see this back, Azure Horizons was one of my favorite hacks. :D Good luck with Beta 3!

[TheGameBringer42]

I like the new battle interface hopefully will see some more updates soon.

[kyo23]

I see..
Well I'll look forward to your Pokemon Hack.
maybe somehow I can help too~
anyways I hope you a well luck

[Omega Zero]

Great to see this hack back and up, i quite enjoyed the beta i played a few years back I root for this hack!
