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.

Game Features
Check out what the game has in store!
-----------------------------------------------
  • A majority of the 386 ADV gen Pokémon will be obtainable.
  • A new "evil" team.
  • A few features from D/P will be carried over to this game.
  • New TMs.
  • Pokemon sprites from D/P will be carried over and applied to select Pokemon.
  • Completely new and diverse Environments.
  • New Music.
  • Decapitalized items, attacks, area names, etc.

this look really good man keep it up!!! yay 1st post
i like the pallete

Nytkoi September 8th, 2007 2:51 PM

Awesome nice job!Cant wait for beta

Alistair September 8th, 2007 3:01 PM

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.

Thunda September 8th, 2007 3:02 PM

Looks so authentic, I am a Noob to this forum, so I'll just leave it at it is amazingly realistic, picture-wise.

PokeFanatic12698 September 8th, 2007 3:03 PM

Very awesome dude. Hope you dont give up!

Yeah, I haven't fully described the storyline, I'll spoil it once the development goes onward...

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! :)

SerenadeDS September 8th, 2007 4:09 PM

I like the pallet colors! The story seems nice. We shall see. ^^

Good Luck!

Barker September 8th, 2007 5:25 PM

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..)

Gold Tom September 8th, 2007 6:40 PM

I'm loving it! Lookin' good. Lots of good hacks around these days...
and this one seems best!

Caina September 9th, 2007 3:14 AM

Nice screenies! I love this hack... Keep it up!

Frostbite September 14th, 2007 4:13 PM

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



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.

Mazumia September 15th, 2007 10:05 AM

looks great can't wait to play it. Wonder who the bad guys will be?

Milanor September 16th, 2007 5:51 AM

Realy Nice Palette :shocked:!

Binary September 16th, 2007 7:40 AM

Wow the hacks good.
I like the pallete colours.
Anyways keep it up.

Ooka September 16th, 2007 10:00 AM

Yeah, this looks like it's going to do good.

professor plum September 16th, 2007 10:43 AM

This looks like a promising hack. :]

Can't wait to learn more about it.

Satoshi Sugimori September 16th, 2007 11:13 AM

Wow nice palette..
Looks nice good luck..:)

du1387 September 16th, 2007 11:16 AM

This looks intriguing. Keep it up.

Frostbite September 22nd, 2007 7:04 AM

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.

looks good, hope ya continue with it, but in that screen shot, why dose it show that the hero has no pokemon?

SerenadeDS September 22nd, 2007 3:18 PM

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!

Lady Berlitz September 23rd, 2007 4:01 PM

The tiles are very nice.
They add an essence of Ruby into the hack.

Anyways, keep it up!
