Storyline

"In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One. From itself, two beings the Original One did make. Time started to spin. Space began to expand. From itself again, three living things the Original One did make. The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be. The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be. The world created, the Original One took to an unyielding sleep..."

You are the child of the newly promoted lead scientist of Serao's largest corporation, Uriel Enterprises. A company previously praised for its many contributions to charity and emphasis on fair trade has now become shrouded in controversy due to unexplained spending of investors' assets. One day your father asks you to get a parcel waiting for him in the neighboring city. You visit your lifelong best friend to borrow a Pokémon for protection on your trip. When you arrive you meet a strangely familiar woman who suspiciously leaves abruptly. Who is this mysterious woman? Why is your father associated with a seemingly corrupt company? What does the future hold for the young protagonist? When the border between good and evil becomes blurred, which side will you choose?

OMG IT'S BACK, WHOOO!!! :D

Glad to see this back Malin.
Good luck~

 

[пзо]

Wow the new genesis

Wow the new genesis. Nice to see you restarted it. Have you got the same scripts as the old one.
The old scripts were too bare and not very good. Hope you make them better..
(I heard only legends of this hack.. now its back)

Good luck Thrace.. (Teh Favorite Mod)

 

[Disturbed]

Malin, wtf!?

[Ryousha]

Thrace, your Titlescreen looks awesome <3.

Congrats on reshowing the hack.

Hopefully im still beta tester.

 

[Ripper]

You mention decision based storylines twice in the first post :D

Good to see this thread up again, it's one of the prime examples of great hacks.

I thought one was a folklore. and the other takes place in the present.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Woot, the new thread is here! And it looks better than ever!

But why aren't I on the beta tester list?

Um, most of them have been newly made.

Oh whoops, I found a tile error in oneof your screen shots:

Uh, that wasn't really a tile error but I guess it doesn't look good that way so I've changed it now.

What? What are you talking about?

Woot, the new thread is here! And it looks better than ever!

But why aren't I on the beta tester list?

Oh sorry, I forgot. I've added you now.

Anyways, I'm just finishing up the beta testing and the beta will be available either today or tomorrow. Heres the textbox I'm using, its not hugely different from the old one.

 

[Megiddo-san]

That box looks pretty good. Keep up the great work. ;)

1000 posts 111!!111!11! :P

 

[Tyrantrum]

It wasn't? :o It looked like it to me. :/

Anyways, great update! ^^ Sucks I won't be able to play the beta. :<
Anyways, good luck~

That thing.
It's like a legend.

What this hack needs is a new overworld sprite. I never liked the FireRed sprite. It's too generic. Other than that this hack looks great. I love the title screen.

 

[Bibliophibian]

Nice to see the new thread up. It looks great. ^^

 

[Hiche..]

I am glad this is back! I made the Hacks Showcase the first page that opens, when I get on, just in case this is back :D xP. Anyways, The screens looks better than the old ones, and so is the mapping. I hope to see scripts soon. Best of luck on this, Thrace.

 

[Chimchar 9]

All the best hacks are reopening now XD, well the screenshots look nice.
i can't wait for the beta !
good luck !!

 

[EJames2100]

Woot my favourite hack is back :)

Looking good so far from what I see :)

Is there much difference between Beta 2 and 3(Besides story development and such) ?

 

[destinedjagold]
