FireRed hack: [HotM Feb. 2011] Pokémon Grey [Beta 1 Released]

[Ray Maverick]

I wouldn't worry about it.
I have plenty of back ups and if an error does happen I can just re-add all the stuff to a new rom.
The 3rd house is Thornhill cove belongs to a mysterious character named Ray. :)

I like that. I know what you're on about. ;) Nice idea.

Aww, looks like someone already took "Pokemon Gray" as a name.
Anyway, those screenshots are cool.

Yes, it's seems I've beaten you and Nintendo. :)
It is very predictable that the next Nintendo game which is a mix of Black and White will be called Grey...

Anyway thank you for the feedback.

Nice Mapping there Ray Maverick! Looking good
as always! What more can I say? Nice tiles,
graphics.. What more could you look for? :P

Btw, the sprite of the prof., is it originally from
prof. oak's aide? It looks kinda like him..

Maybe I'll look forward more on scripting cause
generally, It's the most hard thing to do... xD

Well anyways, Good Luck astar_01! Gonna wait
for the next Update! :D

I guess I am gonna have to go with Ghost Gray instead of just Gray.:18:
Anyway, do you have a Beta up yet?

 

[colcolstyles]

Hey, that flashback thing sure looks nifty! ;D

Lookin' good. I like the choice of tiles and the sprite-work looks great, especially the hero front-sprite. I can't wait to see what the heroine looks like. I also like starter selection. Everything in general looks very professional. Keep up the excellent work! :)

The Professor is Professor Oak's body with Celia's head...
I think his name is Celia.
In FR you meet him on One Island.
It's a temporary thing...
Btw call me Astar :D

I guess I am gonna have to go with Ghost Gray instead of just Gray.:18:
Anyway, do you have a Beta up yet?

Ghost Gray is still a good name, I shall look forward to seeing what you can do.
The Beta was coming soon, but it's been extending for more goodies.
I do some work on it everyday...

Why thank you. :)
I told you I wouldn't let you down!
I'm going to use the ASM you gave me in wonderful ways.
As for the Heroine, I'm not sure what she's going to look like yet, but we both know she'll be awesome. :D

Wow,you and my hack have same character. .hahax,I also have a mysterious character name ray which i dedicated to ray Maverick...hahqx

:O Look's like this mysterious Ray character gets around a bit then...

 

[Crimson Stardust]

:O Look's like this mysterious Ray character gets around a bit then...

Yeah, I think Ghost Gray would be better than just Grey. But it's up to you mate. Also, Richie beat Nintendo with his hack, Black&White, he made it ages before they even announced the other games.

Thanks dude. It's my job. I am mapping/tiling (graphics in general) and he's the brain. XD

You won't wait till the next update, I'm close to finishing all the maps of beta 1 left. After the maps, scripts come, and then o/ws-sprites. And then guess what. You playing it. ;)

Oakwood Town - 70%
Verona Peak - 30%

[Crimson Stardust]

I know how much you love updates, so here's another one.

Update:

In this update I have 2 things to show you.

The first is a new map made by the talented Ray Maverick.
All the older maps have also been remapped into wonderlands like this.

I introduce to you, Verona Canyon!

Spoiler:

The second update I have to show you is not as big.

Spoiler:

The image shows how the NPC in Pokémon Grey will say different things depending on what time of day it is.
This is an example of time based events. :)
I have more indepth time based events that will be unveiled further down the line.

I hope you like the progress.

 

[nasonex]

I'm sure lovin the Updates Astar! ^^

About the map, its really good but I noticed something,
it feels like the color of the mountains or the graphics
of the grass and trees don't contrast each other...

Maybe it's just my eyes...

In the Time based events, It's good to know you've been
able to implement it. I know it takes a lot of time and hard
work but hey, these are the ones that make a great
quality hack!

I wish you good luck on scripting! For all I know is its
the hardest and tiring part to do.. :P

Nice map you got there,but imo the palletes of the others doesn't match with the mountains,its like the others are bright,but then the mountains are dull..

and how did you make the time based event..it is awesome,gonna learn how to do it..loving the updates astar.

Thank you, It's not actually as complex to made as you think once you understand how.

This applies to both quotes...
I shall have a work with my mapper and see what we can do about the mountains. :)
We are also looking into a new wild grass.

I agree with the palette thing, but I thought you wanted to keep it FR style, like the paths and the houses. Also, the HGSS grass you picked may not look that good with the other tiles, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

How about adding a backdoor to the building that can lead to a cave? Would be awesome!

The cave is only accessible through an event the Mafia takes you too later on in the game. :)

This weekend I sent out Beta 0.5 to the Beta Testers.
The feedback I have recieved was positive and there is yet to be a bug discovered.
I might do a bit more to the hack before I release it to the public as Beta 0.5 is a bit short, yet brilliant in my opinion...

Anyway here's some images...
It's basically Beta 0.5 compressed into images.
(There going in the first thread).

Some of them you may of seen before however the maps have been redone and other tweaks have occured.

Spoiler:

 

[nasonex]

Very nice maps Astar! And with the help of
Ray Maverick!

I can see that the progress is going well and
there is a beta 0'5 already.

I hope the bugs/glitches that'll be found are minor
and easy to fix. But I doubt that there will be any.. :P

Finally, your hardwork is paying off and also the ones
that contributed in the hack.

Anyways, Good to all the testers and hopefully have
a thorough search for bugs/glitches. :D
