http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/emespr/emespr245.png :: Frostbite presents :: Pokémon: Azure Horizons --- New friends, new faces, fresh adventure! Hack of: http://members.optusnet.com.au/soanevalcke/famepublication/badge-firered.png Engine: 1635 - Pokémon Fire Red (U) Story General plot summary. ----------------------------------------------- After months of waiting, you finally get your acceptance letter to the regional league. Finally the chance to follow in the footsteps of your brother, a great Pokémon trainer. With goal set, you begin to start your journey as a Pokémon trainer growing with each challenge. Working your way through the ranks and eventually, to the top. However, as soon as your journey begins, you and a companion sees a news broadcast. A disturbance has undergone, strange Pokémon trainers have been going around the region causing havoc. Their goal, however, is out of the ordinary. What it is currently is completely unknown... will it conflict with your own? Project Overview Some general information. ----------------------------------------------- Well this will be my first actual hack that I will actually try to make an effort to work on and eventually finish. My goal is simple - to create an entirely new and fresh Pokemon RPG using the Fire Red engine but still keep the charm of the past Pokemon RPGs. I hope to implement new features (especially D/P features) and graphics, tilesets, etc. I'll make an effort while making this hack and try to create a nice and enjoyable gameplay experience.

this look really good man keep it up!!! yay 1st post
i like the pallete |
Awesome nice job!Cant wait for beta
|
Looking really good so far. The storyline could use a little work, though. It's too boring. Also, I noticed something in your maps. The colors on the edges of the paths have retained their original colrs. You might want to change that.
|
Looks so authentic, I am a Noob to this forum, so I'll just leave it at it is amazingly realistic, picture-wise.
|
Very awesome dude. Hope you dont give up!

As for the palettes I've noticed them, like I said in the first post I'm still in the process in palette editing. @ other posts above Thanks so much for the compliments! :) |
I like the pallet colors! The story seems nice. We shall see. ^^
Good Luck! |
Cool. I've always like the maps you do. The story does sound a little familiar, but honestly, I prefer it over something random and unbelievable. (As far as Pokemon stories go..)
|
I'm loving it! Lookin' good. Lots of good hacks around these days...
and this one seems best! |
Nice screenies! I love this hack... Keep it up!
|
Sorry for the lack of updates.
School is getting on me so I'll only have some free time to work on this hack on the weekend and occasionally weekdays if I get all of my papers done... Anyways I've finished mapping the Weather Institute! A few screenshots below Spoiler:
The team has taken over the Weather Institute, it's up to you to stop them! But what are they after? --- No dialog as of yet... I'll start scripting the events pretty soon. Also disregard the Rocket overworlds, they'll be replaced within the next update. |
looks great can't wait to play it. Wonder who the bad guys will be?
|
Realy Nice Palette :shocked:!
|
Wow the hacks good.
I like the pallete colours. Anyways keep it up. |
Yeah, this looks like it's going to do good.
|
This looks like a promising hack. :]
Can't wait to learn more about it. |
Wow nice palette..
Looks nice good luck..:) |
This looks intriguing. Keep it up.
|
It seems that I have a problem with the dialog, once it's done it finishes and the textbox disappears giving you no time to read some of the final words. It's happening to all of the signs and people. I'll need to start a new Rom so don't expect some updates in a couple of weeks. :/
Anyways on a lighter note I've finally found out how to affectively palette edit using APE. Besides that I now have the overworlds for the new team. More info on them as updates continue. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/Tundra1.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/Thundra2.png Thanks to wonkaXbar (seriously, this guy had like a million sn's) for the battle sprite. |
The grunt sprite looks like WOW!!!!
Its really cool.......... Like to see more |

looks good, hope ya continue with it, but in that screen shot, why dose it show that the hero has no pokemon?
|
This hack is starting to look good! The Tundra Grunt is sweet. I like the sprite and OWs.
This is looking great Frostbite! Great Job & Good Luck! |
The tiles are very nice.
They add an essence of Ruby into the hack. Anyways, keep it up! |

Well it seems like it's been a while since I've last updated. I'm back working on this hack again, schoolwork aside. You may notice that I've updated the format of the presentation post and remade the entire story. I'm currently starting to re-map most areas onto a fresh rom. Strangely enough I've started with the town where you get your second badge. Welcome to Scarlet Town! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/s1-1.png What's that Cubone doing there? http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/s2-1.png Stading outside a Plant Shop http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/s3-1.png So many people... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/s4-1.png Standing outside the gym, seems to be up high. Scarlet town is a small town. Pretty much nothing to do there other than to get your second badge and getting the Sprayduck. Why would you need a Sprayduck? Certainly there aren't any berry trees that you can water so why do you need it? Find out in the next update! Well that's pretty much it. Anyways I'm almost done with spriting the hero overworld, expect him to be in the next update. |
great hack and nice screenies
|
Scarlet Town looks very nice. The mountain mapping is very well done. I wonder what the Sprayduck is for...
I did find an error, though. Look at the red circle. http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8499/error1an8.png There is an extra level on that part of the mountain. |
Sharp eyes... Nice... I too see some tile errors on the right side of the mountain...
There's a little green patches on them... Best of luck with this hack! |
Quote:
It's fixed now: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/fixed.png What happened to Red? Quote:
|
hack vee enough good, to improve it you can, good trowels: D
|
A few more now....
Some screenshots of the route below Scarlet (aka Eastern Zephyr). http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/a1.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/a2.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/a3.png hmm? I'm not at all content with the mapping of the route, I just might re-map the whole thing eventually.... That's it for now. |
Wow nice screens, i like those holes :P
|
Looks very good. Now I think I know what the Sprayduck is for.
Anyway, I did notice one tiny error (Sorry, but if I don't point it out, it will bug me forever :P). See, in the screenshot, the tree top that has a circle around it is not the overlapping one, like it is supposed to be. http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8738/errrtq5.png |
Quote:
I like the palettes, it all matches. The mapping is done well, this hack is going well. |
Quote:
Anyways a few more screenshots of the previous route. (I said I'd revamp it, didn't I?) Compare with the previous ones... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/news1.png Entrance. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/news2.png Lamp posts! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/news3.png Trainers and a hole in the ground. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/seaside.png The Seaside Cottages. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc4.png Standing outside Gale Port. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc5.png Walking in grass. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc6.png That damn tree!! Well that's pretty much it for the screenshots so far. In the next update (which won't be anytime soon), expect to see some scripts and in-battle screens. Some recaps on the events so far, look at your own risk. Spoiler:
Pretty much it, for now! |
Lol, the second Azure hack!
This one looks pretty good. The new palettes are good, and I like the story and mapping as well. Nice job with getting in tiles like the lamppost. I'm keeping an eye on this hack. :D |
this looks and souns kl plz dont give up
|
Well it's been a while since I last updated.
I've put this hack on hold but I'm working on it again. I'd all like to welcome you to Galena City. It's the gateway to the southern part of the region and also a major trading port along with boat transportation. Spoiler:
Boat Transportation You may get the ability to fly after getting the 3rd badge but it will be a while until you actually find the HM. Meanwhile, you have to depend on boat transportation to get to certain areas of the game. They'll be ports located all around the region, some in routes, towns, and cities. I'm currently creating a complex web of regional travel that are exclusive to these boats. So, they'll be a great way of getting around more quickly and efficiently! Note that there will be areas that you can only get to using boats!! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/gl2.png That's pretty much it for now. Here is an in-battle screen, I've changed the text. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/gl6.png Cheers! |
Welldone the town looks so peaceful and lovely :) it's a mini island
|
Nice, I find it great how you use the boats.
|
Well I finally got some scripting down. I've started with the Eevee event in the starter town.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc1.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc2.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/sc3.png Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh91PQYcXtE Well, if you didn't know by now, Eevee is the official starter Pokemon. Well that's pretty much up for this update! |
this looks really nice, not sure about the story though but keep it up!
|
This is looking to be a really good hack. Kepp up the good work. I love the mapping
|
Love this hack, tiles are great and love the hero sprite, but why did you change the hero back to red in the last update? Not happy with the one you had? I thought it was really good though. Can't wait until you change the trees hehehe.
I really don't think this hack is getting all the attention it deserves... hmmmm Just one question Quote:
Anyway good with this hack and with your school work, of course! hehe |
So far so good! keep up the good work, i look forward to playing this in the future.

Getting on the hack - There aren't updates yet, I'll be sure to make sure to do so in the future. I'm currently mapping and re-mapping the areas up to the goal point in beta 1. After that is scripting and such. Nothing much new at the moment though. Well I'd like to thank everyone above who complimented and for their support this hack. You make me feel that my work is worthwhile. ^^ |
Hey, awesome hack I love it!
I love the palletes, all! Any support you need, I'll be very happy to help you! Anyways I made a banner: http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/9694/azurehrizonqa2.png Here is the cde if you wanna support this hack! Code:

I'll be sure to put up the code on the first post ASAP. Again, thanks! ^^ |
No screen shot >.<

The game looks great so far. Your plot does seem a little... wishy-washy, though? It's quite cliched - pretty much the same thing has been going for all previous generations. Don't get me wrong, I love Team Rocket and Co - it wouldn't be pokemon without its dastardly villains - but maybe put in an extra twist or two just to make it a little more unique...? Just a humble suggestion. =] I'm keen to play. |
The game looks very nice. Not an ordinary hack, but still looks very pretty. The towns seem to be nice places to live in :) Good luck :)
|
I'm glad that everyone is liking the hack so far.
Not much progress as of yet. I've done more mapping and things like that. I'll be on vacation next week (stating Wednesday) so I should be able to get loads of stuff done by then. Strangely, I've been focusing on small things. Spoiler:
hah! Spoiler:
The wonders of boat transportation. This is located in an island way up north.... there will be more ice areas with a city along the island. The whole area in general houses one of the most important events in the game. I don't want to give away much. :P brr. |
Nice hack, it looks really great! I like your attention to details.
|
the snowing is great... how do you actually do it?
|
I really like the maps. They are very detailed. Keep it up!
|
Yeah, it does look very good, at least it looks realistic.
good work |
Do you need any help with mapping? I'm quite good at it and icould send you some of my past creations.
|
I love this hack :D, it's great. Keep up the good work
Also, I think i found a typing error in the evee event. Professor Oak says: 'Here are 5 pokéalls (forgot the 'B')They are also essential to your......' |
Yummy, I Loved the most recent Screenies!
Keep this hack up |

Also, thanks to the people who complemented above, I appreciate it. Well more on the hack, I've restarted like the majority of us. :s I found out to repoint into free space in the rom since that was my most major problems there. I've gotten some mapping down again and I'm planning down some scripts for the starting town. I'm also finding out some behavior bytes for tiles in FR and it's tedious but very rewarding. I feel like I'm going at a slow pace but it seems like the best way to prevent glitches and the number one defense against restarting. I feel like (when posting screenshots) I've been focusing on other things than the main storyline and scripting... soooo I'll be focusing on those two things a little more from now on. In the meantime. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/greenwood1.png :) |
Very nice. The mapping is good, and the story seemes to be pretty good as well. I'm looking forward to playing this one!
|
*evil smirk appears*
I...Love the screenshot |
i concur, awesome house....i so would love to have that......
*licks lips* now i'm interested in this a LOT more, lol |
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! yeah!
lovely screenies! it seems like your doing great, so keep it up! Wishing for the best! ;) ...DJG... |
it's going great with this hack can't wait for new screens..:D
I espacially like the town from the last screens (from page 2) looks very peacefull and relaxing..:) |
The palletes of the hack look really good..from the snow to the grass the palletes look absolutely awesome! I hope you the best on this
~Celebi |
Hey! It's been a while I last updated...
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/shoes1.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/shoes2.png Screenshots of the Running Shoes event. You'll receive the running shoes as a parting gift from your brother. I really can't stand walking in the ADV games so I decided that you can get them as soon as you walk down the stairs. :] Progress has been going on steadily. I got the hang of replacing music tracks (successfully). Expect to hear loads of R/S/E music and a couple of new tracks as well! More scripts and events in the next update! |
Haha, it's the Zephyr region. xD
Aside from the, uh, mildly cliché plot which people have already pointed out, this hack looks excellent. :3 Nice smooth pallettes, and excellent mapping. Not to mention nice presentation. However. Keep in mind that gameplay is always preferable to graphics, and that no matter how truly excellent your scenery is, if it's a bland plot than it's a bland game. Since it's before beta 1, there might still be time to add to your plot. Make your characters interesting, your villains evil but motivated, your world convincing. You want to impress people with screenshots? Very well, keep your game the way it is. You want to impress people with a game? Make your game worth their while. I'll be watching this game's progress. :3 Keep up the good work. ^^ |

I'm trying my best to make this hack equally satisfying in gameplay and in graphics (although I do know that gameplay is always more important.) I'm pretty much done focusing on the graphics and now moving on and focusing more on the gameplay (scripts, etc). I'm going to incorporate as much scripts and features as I can to satisfy the player's thirst for gameplay but at the same time give them a little eye candy as well. To be honest, at the sate that the hack is in right now, I can honestly say that it has nothing redeeming besides the graphics and such. But, now that I pretty much prepared the icing, I'm able to focus on going for the entire cake now. Again, I'll make sure to incorporate a good chunk of gameplay and features and make this hack the best I can with my current ability. Thanks for the comment. :) |
Progress has been going on steadily agian~
More screens. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/bg.png Some palette editing to match the game's theme http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/guilles.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/gordians.png Sign edits, colors taken from the D/P description signs http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/brendan.png Hmm? Spoiler:
Think you'll have access to the league so early in the game? Don't be so vague! Spoiler:
Show your support for the hack with these trendy banners! Support banners made by yours truly! :) *Will be added to the first post Pretty much it for now. Just started vacation so I'll have more time to work on the hack. Expect more progress pretty soon! |
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/gordians.png
You got an item on the ground dot two spots up from the sign. Is that supposed to be there? I love the hack. Good work. Keep it up. |
sharp eyes. ;)
lovely changes! hoping to see more stuff! good luck~ |
Quote:
Yes, those are supposed to be there. Thanks for the compliments. ;) --- Busy, busy! I've been working on scripts for the past few days. Screenshots of a few events early in the game... Spoiler:
Enjoy! |
Yuck! That thief will be dead if I'll catch him! xD
Nice screenies! And what a lovely new event! Will be looking forward for more updates! Wishing for the best of luck~ |
the hack looks good i cant wait for a beta.
well dont give up,good luck on your Hack. |
Cool!:cool::cool:Good luck!:DNice hack!I love it!:laugh::laugh:
|
Awesome, i'm so totally supporting this
|
Hmm... so there are two heroes?
Or did you just not edit the first few screenshots and then add some new screenshots that had the new hero? Well, it looks great. Keep it up! |
Quote:
--- Well it's been a while since I last updated - don't worry, I've been working on this hack the entire time. I've started out on a fresh slate, again... this time I started out doing all kinds of things first. Once I was done with them I could get them out of the way. Since I started out again, the hero's overworld will be Red again (since I didn't get to OW editing yet...) Anyways some images of many changes in the game. Spoiler:
Enjoy! |
Nice.
I don't really care about the text box or the sign, (you still did a good job though) but i hate it when the items and attacks are capatilized. It feels so much better when they are lowercase, nice job! Good luck! |
Like I said on MSN, the text looks a lot neater now. Good job :o
|
This game looks good as! I really like the tileset! Can't wait for a BETA. |
You did do an awesome job, frostbite.
any news on the game yet?... |
Very nice looking! Can't wait to play!
|
Hey guys! It's been a while since I've last updated (more than a month) and I do apologize for that. I just wasn't it the mood to hack for a couple of weeks but, during that little break I have been doing some work. Progress on the hack has been going on steadily, more areas have been created. I hope to get the first beta released by spring of this year. Anyways, I do have a TON of screens for you guys.
Spoiler:
Enjoy! |
Nice screens.. Look forwrd to see some progress.. Just a question. Will you eventually meet your brother for a battle?
|
Shouldn't the team tundra sprites look more winterish?
Not like an eskimo or anything but i don't think people would wear t-shirts in the tundra. And you screwed up on the ledge in one of the new pics. There are 4 mountain ledges and only one top mountain ledge tile. |
Quote:
Quote:
No, the ledges are not screwed up, that's just how it is and I thought it looked fine. I'll get to fixing that later. |
Woah nice new screens. But i don't realy like Headbutt trees tiles. Can't wait for beta
|
Are there any updates, Frostbite? The thread is very quiet.....
|
Quote:
Currently I'm finishing up mapping areas in Beta 1 (3 more to go) and then going to focus on more scripting. If anyone hasn't noticed yet, I'm hoping to have Beta 1 released sometime in Spring (which is sometime soon) of this year, so keep your fingers crossed. Also I was sick of bothering with the palettes so I've reverted to default FR/LG tree colors with Emerald colored grass. I'm also thinking of adding a few features revolving around collecting certain items. It'll be kinda of a rewards system or something like that. Unfortunately I don't think that the said features will appear in Beta 1. I really don't want to reveal much... yet. Note that some screenshots may be broken, I moved them around in my Photobucket account. I'll get to restoring them later. |
looks nice. it would be cool if you could change the hero/heroine sprite to something different. there are so many hacks with plain fr/lg sprites on, make yours unique and change it! good luck with the hack.
|
Quote:
|
Great news! I've finished mapping all of the areas that will appear in Beta 1. I've started on scripting a while ago, I already have some few scripts done. I plan to release Beta 1 soon. An example of some of the scripts.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/cafe1.png http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c292/Polar_Spirit/cafe2.png It's the Coastline Café! It's a café similar to the one in D/P. Unfortunately, this area wont be in Beta 1 but shows some of the various scripts done. That's all for now. |
Well it's been a while since I last updated.
A video for anyone who is interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpVIgttNS1c Spoiler:
|
Hey! Frostbite! That video was very nice;) This hack is very nice;) I can't believe nobody has posted here in so long! I just want you to know that I support you. You have inspired me to hack even when there is no feedback. This all looks amazing! BOL!
|
Nice gym!
Anyway, keep up the good work ;) |
Hmm... I don't have much to say other than it looks good. Can't wait for a playable version. :)
|
wow
wow dude this look pretty impressive especialy the tiles, the story line is nice!
