FireRed hack: Pokémon Shining Waters/Hazing Flames [Upd. Sept. 30]

[reshilegend]

I want this. Holy psyduck!

Oh my, it's Sacred :] Sup.

Alright I have to say there are quite a few things I like about your starters however there are also a few things I dislike about them starting with the Grass starters the concept of berries growing as it evolves is something that I feel suites your starter I am also fond of the designs of Leafur and Epserry however Makoison coloring that shade of green that I personally find obnoxious is the reason I would rule out Leafur as my possible starter.

Now on to the Fire starter a bird transforming into a dinosaur is a concept I find quite cool I am also impressed by there designs Raptini, Flaryx, and Veloclaw however I feel Veloclaw sprite could be improved by making him look a bit more vicious either by having a claw outstretched or having his jaw open possibly both Raptini is definitely a starter that I would choose.

And finally the water starter Coral reef + Salamanders = Awesomeness I don't have much to say about this one I like all there designs Salaqua, Amphydro, and Plethanos all look great I can say right now it's going to be a difficult choice between Raptini and Salaqua.

I personally think the green fits, but the Veloclaw backsprite could indeed be a bit more dynamic. Will keep that in mind. Thanks!

Lookin' good, lookin' good! Can't wait to see more!

Thank you!

Weekly Update: September Week 3

(The squeaky voice in it is my little brother.)
I made a video for this week's update rather than typing it out like the others. We are currently looking for some help with the game, especially in the scripting aspect.

 

[reshilegend]

Kind of weekly update: September #4

Apologies for the late update this week, but I'm somewhat busy and will probably be the next few weeks as well.
Still had the opportunity to sprite something, so it's at least something new! Spoilers for those who don't want to see it - just in case, you know.

Spoiler:

A bug type based on a lanternfly. Will have a split evolution path, and those evolutions aren't 100% done yet. Wanted to increase the variety so that you can also catch multiple bug types later on and aren't restricted to the early game ones.

Also, I want to remind everyone that we posted a script update video last week, which you can find right above. Would really help the progress if we'd be able to find another scripter soon! Be sure to leave a message if interested.

See y'all soon.

My gosh you have some amazing graphical modification skills. I'm dying to know where people get these assets o3o. Especially the trees, grass and water. Maybe I should frequent WaH a bit more.

There is no substitute for solid scripting so I strongly suggest that you read up on XSE, might I recommend diegoisawesome's mega XSE tutorial? It covers everything you'll need and is very comprehensive. It's great to have open in a separate tab to refer back to while scripting.

 

[reshilegend]

So we've decided to change the frequency of updates a bit.
We'll try to put out 1-2 every month. Seeing as most of us (including myself) are really busy, and we would otherwise just show sprite after sprite, I think this was the better decision. Bear with us while we do what we can & figure things out.
Regardless, we'll still be reading and considering all feedback, of course, so keep doing that :P

Thanks.
The tiles are heavily edited public tiles, I spent a decent amount of time on tweaking palettes and textures. It's a ton of editing and reinserting, see if it fits, repeat. I'm not from the spanish hacking community though, lol. Guess that is a stereotype of sorts.
As for scripting, I don't have enough time to fully invest in learning it perfectly, so I rather prefer sticking to my main skill that I have much more experience with, and help the other team members with scripts where I can from time to time (in terms of trying to find solutions for errors). We're aware of Diegos tutorial, thanks.

Take all the time you guys need. There's no need to rush a project. (unless you have another one in mind, then by all means, go for it)

 

[Doesitworkful]

Wow this looks really awesome! keep up the good work!

Hey Reshilegend :)
You probably don't remember me, but I helped with this hack wayyyyyy back before the alpha stages :P My computer broke, and I completely forgot anything about this!
Anyway, it sounds like you could still do with a little bit of help on the mapping, just to take a bit of the workload off of your shoulders. I'm up to help :D

 

[MasterBallz]

The fakemon need to be worked on or new better ones need to be made other than that it looks pretty damn amazing.

I do remember you, I don't think we managed to do much back then. Either way, right now we're not doing maps so we don't need a mapper, but you're definitely still welcome if you want to help with giving some mapping feedback!

Essentially what I've been working on the past few weeks. You can expect many improvements and redesigns. I'm trying to make them look more "official".

Awhh that's okay :P I appreciate the reply! I'll show you some maps in the private messages

This hack looks great!!

I just can't wait to play the final version.
Can I just transfer this hack and its update to Chinese forum for promotion?

Not at the moment, sorry. Would probably be better when we have a demo out, so I'm afraid it will take a while.

Hey everyone, quick overview sheet I created to hopefully gain more interest in this.
Large image ahead, you have been warned.

Please excuse the silence, trying to restructure the team at the moment. But I would appreciate if you would check out the link above and maybe even consider joining us, who knows.
Let's do this.

 

[Lyanrod]

If i may recommend a new pokemon for your proyect i would be happy (I passed all my childhood making fakemon) but i couldn't digitize anything, cause I always lost my patience with AI, photoshop and even my scanner, lol...
Anyway, just ask me if you need in terms of adding fakemon.

 

[KiyoshiDono]

Holy *** nice maps. Can't wait for this game.

 

[Sliter]

maaan I'm amazed with these graphics! is look so much original and very well made !
It deserve a new title beside "pokemon" haha (as a ripoff?) because looks so much original! o_o
Keep the good work!
