How about a secret island.

My idea was just an island, with a mansion, and a garden to explore.

Makes it easier to set up a mystery setting, where the player has to explore everywhere to get all the clues.
Having to many areas, such as parts of a region would make there be too much for the player to look around.

 

[trenhoj]

But it would make the game longer. For the island I thought there could be a spy school, a village, a. garden and a mountain

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

I made a basic map of what I think the island should look like but it's on paper qnd I'm REALLY not supposed to be up right now so taking a pic would be a bad idea.

But basically is three small towns, a forest, and a mansion alright?

Town A: Has the spy school institute and the dorms for it, a Pc, and a mart so far.
Route 1: Is a route. Town A----???Forest
??? Forest: A forest you go through to get to the mansion. We'll have loke Pidgey and stuff here for the player to get a Flying type considering they might Fly around a lot to find the clues?
Route 2: Another very short Route. ???Forest ------Mansion
The Mansion: Of course this is the scene of the crimes. A Flying Spot should be put here for easy access.
Route 3: Another short Route. Mansion-----Town B
Town B: Some Clues and such could be found here.
Route 4: Another short Route. Town B----Town C
Town C: Something you find here tells you to head back to the Mansion.
Route 5: Another short Route. A shortcut without Fly from Town C-----Mansion.

Why nobody tell me the existence of this thread?
Okay, I really like the idea of Looker, this sprite can be useful:

(Indexed to 16 colors)
And we need a new graphic style, because I don't like a generic FR style, In a moments I'll share a scan with a tileset style.

And because nobody guess me, I can help with the sprites, maybe make a tiles, battle BGs and other gfx's.

OFFTOPIC: @Bill Cipher, why your sigpic reminds me New Bark Town?

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to do ROM Hacking. I am unable to use a computer ATM, so I am using my Android tablet to send the message. I hereby resign from this year's Hack Off.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

Ruki- Yay you did it! *does the did it dance*

PoK3Matr1x- Aw..... You don't have to directly be in the hacking.... You could find resorces and stuff if you wanted. :(

Awww, that sucks.

I'll still leave your name in the Team, just incase you can comeback.. c:

 

[PoK3Matr1x]

Alright, i am able to continue. I am using a crappy laptop with windows 7.

 

[trenhoj]

Hey, how's everything going?

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

Hey, how's everything going?

Well Bill got the map done based on a drawing I did and Ruki made the Trainer Sprite for Looker. Ruki found the thread. Also PoK3Matr1x couldn't help hack but now he can.
Yup, that's about it.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

Guys..... My dad said we aren't allowed on the laptop for a while because there's too much junk on it. I donmt know when I can get back on. I'll still get on PC using my phoen of course, but that means Imm basically stuck to storyline and resource finding. ;_; So no mapping or scripting for me.....

 

[trenhoj]

That sucks. We are loosing time too.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

So I'm not the only one with an overwhelming sense of 'WE'RE GUNNA B LATE GUIZ'?

I will look for what we need, like P/S split tools and what not. 3:3

 

[Dr. Seuss]

Ok, only have 15 days to end, I'm free to make scripts and other gfx, We need start now, Only tell me what I'm going to do, please c:

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

We'll still need a backsprite and ow for Looker, battle sprites for Croagunk, whatever the new tiles you wanted in Ruki, are we using new music?, we need to put the maps up in a spoiler once they are ready, and there needs to be a clear idea of what the crime is.

 

[Dr. Seuss]

First, what type of music we need? I can put my Kanto HGSS music, but I don't know if you wanna like them, And I wanna try to make the other sprites, maybe be ready tomorrow or the next monday.

I have a bunch of tilesets to use, what style we like use?

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

While playing a game I don't usually care for the music or tiles, I just want to play, so I'll let you all decide on those. ^.^U
Great, looking forward to seeing the sprites!

Should there be a frontier like place? Just a random little thing by the boat port maybe for people who like the game and want some postgame?.......

 

[trenhoj]

Who ever can map, start now. I can't map or script because of my computer. I'm using my tablet to chat right now.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

Bill will have to map, we were going to show off the maps me and her made but now that I can't get on my laptop Bill will need to. Unless Ruki or PoK3 want to map or something.

 

[trenhoj]

Alright. 13 days. At least 1 day for testing. That leaves 12 days for making.
