    miksy91 I just LOVE dark energy. It's simply amazing. The best Rom hack for gbc I've ever played. I hope you continue to make this game the best. Can't say it enough, simply amazing. Great story, great true RPG elements.
    Thank you VanillaMisk :)

    Not totally sure what you meant here "I hope you continue to make this game the best", but I will definitely continue putting effort into this hack and try to finish it. As of how the progress has been going on recently, sounds really doable to get this hack done someday :)


    By the way... I was planning to record a video where I would show how certain things will work differently in the next release from how they are in beta 4.1. I have fixed some minor bugs that most people never run into, but also enhanced several scripts and made them work differently. As an example, the concept behind 'Secret of Adria' sidequest was pretty good but didn't turn out that well in beta 4.1. Now I have re-done how it works and you won't have to reset the clock anymore to finish it. Instead, you have to beat Neal who tells you have become really strong and could be called a 'master' yourself from now on. And instead of Neal giving you the Page, it is actually obtained from elsewhere now.

    So there have been some functional changes between beta 4.1 and the next release as well. And how it looks like right now, beta 4.1 save file will be mostly compatible with the next release, but there will also be things that don't function accurately if beta 4.1 save file is used with it.

    What I meant is I hope you keep working to finish dark energy. It's my favorite Rom hack for gbc. I can't wait to see more hacks from you miksy91
    Thank you! :)
    There will be no other rom hacks from me I believe. Dark Energy is very time consuming hack to finish and I'm quite old for this scene anyhow. So I'll just get it done someday and that's it I think. I will most likely keep enhancing it even after it is done though, but not starting anything totally new.

    I don't think I will change any TM moves. The main reason for this is that it's time consuming and I don't like doing that kind of stuff. Changing the moves requires also changing whether every single pokemon can learn that specific move or not. That kind of editing just gets annoying really quickly. Also, if I didn't plan that out perfectly before doing so, some people would come complaining, why some pokemon cannot learn 'this move' and some can which should not. And paying attention to these kind of things is just waste of time.

    I still remember one of the very early versions back in early 2012/late 2011. It was still in a early stage back then (I assume so) and I didn't play much of it, but it was one of the very few 2nd/1st GEN hacks I've enjoyed. Very good work.

    you could atleast change fire blast,thunder and blizzard tm's to flamethrower,thunderbolt and ice beam thay wont required much of the editing and you wont have to edit other pokemons move set too

    Hi,
    Been on a vacation for two weeks and got home yesterday. Progress on DE will probably continue this weekend so not like I had quit after making it for a short while or anything :)
    I still remember one of the very early versions back in early 2012/late 2011. It was still in a early stage back then (I assume so) and I didn't play much of it, but it was one of the very few 2nd/1st GEN hacks I've enjoyed. Very good work.
    I believe I had only released a small demo out then :)
    If you remember fighting a lady for getting Bulbasaur and not much else, then that was the demo then. If it had more content and it probably ended at the point when you had to battle 'Captain' and his way overleveled Steelix (a battle that you are supposed to lose to continue with the gameplay normally), that was probably beta 1 then.

    But thank you! :)
    Try it out when I have the next release ready - you will most likely be pleasantly surprised. Final version is something that won't come out in a long while.
    you could atleast change fire blast,thunder and blizzard tm's to flamethrower,thunderbolt and ice beam thay wont required much of the editing and you wont have to edit other pokemons move set too
    I don't quite get the point behind doing this... I could surely edit them like that and do possibly only a few changes here and there to the TM learning data of all pokemon but what's the main reason behind a change like this? I personally like the option of for example getting Fire Blast to a pokemon of mine which couldn't normally learn it.
    what a great rom i love it ^^
    Thank you! :)

    I've been trying to download it for a while now, but every time I go to unzip the folder the contents are empty. And the Mediafire page isn't loading for me. Anyone know what's the reasoning behind it?

    I just want to say, this game has been my favorite hack of all time, and I can't wait until the final version is (eventually) released.

    Hey Miksky, absolutely love that hack and finished all the sidequests, but there is one thing I can't find. That one thing being the NPC you talk to after finishing 5 sidequests. I have searched everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. Is it possible that you could give me just a little hint where the NPC is? Even a general town/route or a side of the map would help. Also this is my first post on this forum (I think?), but I probably won't come here often, so happy NotReallyANew Year!
