How this game starts.

It is your tenth birthday and you are just about to get your first Pokemon, you step outside and are greated by one of the villagers who gives you your first Pokemon: Eevee!

Im a sucker for Snow/Ice themes, So if this becomes good enough, it could be the best hack in my opinon ;)

[♠εx]

Thanks for all of your comments, i've noticed some errors and might be changing the first post a few times :P.

Like I said, I will only edit the tiles when I finish most of the game.

Looks pretty good so far. One thing, though. Your maps are quite square. You might want to change their shapes to make them look more natural.

 

[Epsilon]

Nice, but try making the islands less square though...

 

[Binary]

Nice hack
The snowy nature looks cool.
Keep up the good work mate

 

[Pachel22]

good luck on this hack brane.

 

[Deokishisu]

I like the idea, but, work a bit on your mapping.

First of all, your islands are too square. Unless an island's man-made, it shouldn't be even close to perfectly shaped. Try using the ocean tile to "erode" some of your islands. That should make them more natural! And don't forget to fix up the shore afterwords!

Your route is a bit square also, not to mention there's almost a straightforward path to the next area. Try mixing it up a bit. Put trees in the player's way, make it more difficult to pass through with a mini maze, obstacles, anything you can put in the way.

Oh, and one more thing on the mapping, in Tserof Town, there's a house without windows. Have you ever seen a house without windows? Putting in windows makes houses and towns more realistic.

To fix your snowy problem, the "three snowflakes" weather effect in Advance Map is probably what you chose. To make it snow constantly, try the "Snow" or "Ash" weather effect, I'm not exactly sure on the name but one of them's there!

Your story, idea, most everythng is really good. Work on your mapping and this'll be one of the better hacks!

 

[Ooka]

I agree with most of what Diokishisu said, but I don't think the islands have to look eroded, mainly because they don't erode unless they have been there a long time and it could be a relatively new island. And he could throw some story in there about earthquakes from volanoes on the new island. Well I am just ranting so good luck with the hack.

 

[Lady Berlitz]

Wow, very original Routes and Towns. I'd like to see more.

Just maybe a Hero and Heroine change or Overworld Random people would be nice to see on original Maps.

I can't wait to play it. Do you need help with scripting, mapping, spriting or overworlds?

And the Tiles are very great.

And I don't see any Overworlds by Zel in your Screenshots.

 

[destinedjagold]

YAY! I can't wait for this hack! Keep it up!!!

I'm working on the maps and making them more advance, I just want to get through the basics before changing too much. :P

Like I said above, i'm just getting the basics done. I'm changing the maps alot and they should be a bit better.

The screenshots are old :P.
Zel's overworlds have been put in, I might need some help with the scripting and overworlds but i'd like to try scripting myself. I'm trying it on my backups before the original to make sure it doesn't stuff up.

--------------------------

Update: New town has been finished.

Spoiler:

This is where you get surf and fight your first gym, the gym wont be strong so it will be easy, the gym leader is ground type so some different pokemon will be found in the wild to help you :P.

Thanks for everyones comments :P.
New screenshots and maps will be up by the end of the week.

 

[amatsu109728]

no offense but how about try to put more things on it it looks a bit empty, how about the island on a top of a snowy clif or something

 

[Lady Berlitz]

Yes, the maps, a bit too empty. Amatsu's right. Except I don't like the ideas of islands on top of snow cliffs. Maybe adding rocks in more places or maybe more land than water.
