Pokemon Alliance
 
Taking pokemon out of the fuzzy and soft world and into a darker toned, war afflicted one...

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/28642339mj4.jpg

:11:a Wast-ed Productions ltd. Game:11:

It's a hack of Fire Red


:2: Features
:2:
:pokeball: An insane storyline set to be one of epic proportions
- much darker, and very involved storyline, in comparison to the official games
:pokeball: Brand new world to explore
- Freeroaming areas that give rise to exploration like that found in The legend of Zelda
:pokeball: Fancy new graphical work
- Including but not limited to:
- New spritework, new palletes, New tiles, new overworlds
:pokeball: 4th gen pokemon (eventually)
:pokeball: new music (down the line)

:17: Plot Outline :17:

:pokeball: You start out on our world.The real world. No pokemon at all, infact they were never conceived at all. You were on your way back from a field trip to the zoo, when your bus broke down. Now you are hanging out in a field in the woods waiting of the repair truck to arrive. After some encouragement, you try to talk with this one girl (or boy eventually) and ask them out. Just as things start to get interesting, a storm appears. Everyone runs into this nearby cave, and everything goes dark. You wake up inside a cave alone, dazed, and with a massive headache.

:pokeball: You walk outside to try and find the field and everyone else, only to be in some encampment. You wander around trying to get your bearings, till you meet one of your "friends." You try to find out what's going on here and it turns out that your in a completely different world, and are strangely enough the leader of a group of freedom fighters who are fighting in a seemingly endless battle with the totalitarian regime ruling the land...

:pokeball: All this weirdness is coupled w/ the fact that there's these things called "pokemon" that everyone has and you've nvr seen before, even though you have your own already.
(The fact tht you dont remember having pkmn b4 brings another interesting plot dynamic to the table.This alternate earth has alt versions of everyone from our earth, and during the course of the journey, you will meet up w/ old friends who may or may not recall your earth, and might even be your enemies here.)

:pokeball: You have to unite the many different rebel groups together to try and stop the totalitarian forces from conquering more than just this earth, but our earth as well. Your only way home appears to be in the hands of the army.

:pokeball:The fate of not only this world, but our world rest on your shoulders, can you handle it?

:pokeball:So that's it.... The screens and all for now.

CrazyLuigi December 20th, 2007 8:51 PM

ah dang, I had a plot similar to this one (In the band of rebels way) i wanted to use after I completed Threads of Reality :P

Antwhan December 20th, 2007 9:12 PM

lol well sorry i beat ya to the punch here man, but you shoud work on deloping a single hack the best u can make it and not try to make a lot, Once you start it's the long haul if u think u can handle the journey....

hacks take a long time to complete and perfect and just thinking up stories isnt going to get u places ^_^

new map of the starting town

made by my mapmaker, who is sadly nt prevalent in forums...

Virtual Chatot December 23rd, 2007 1:58 PM

To be honest, you are going to want to get yourself a skilled mapper

Antwhan December 23rd, 2007 2:02 PM

yeah... i as of now i'm doing touch ups of maps made by my friend....he's improving but not spectacular....

If you want a mapper you should ask around many people want to be mappers in a hack (only few are good) but you should try it...
You should try in team discussions [non-inc.]reqruitment thingy...

Antwhan December 23rd, 2007 3:15 PM

i was scanning over the non inc thread, but they're full of peopel who have no idea how to do anything....

maybe someone else in team alpha is up for helping me...i wanna wrk w/ what i got 1st and get a alpha made b4 i go and try to get prolific people or anyone tied to it ..

I'm gonna keep my friend as mapper for the time being since he's the only one of my irl friends who was up for actually wrking on a hack...even though he takes 4ever to map... I'm just 2 loyal to let him go....

Xanza February 7th, 2008 7:56 AM

lol i could be a beta tester.. xD
i'm still new to hacking lol so i can't do anything yet except finding for bugs....

Antwhan February 7th, 2008 3:23 PM

wow...someone found my hack, after i hvnt made any progress since....

well actually that's not completely true...nothing major has been done, still wrking on getting stuff together b4 i release anything worth seeing...

my mapper is lazy, and no spriters hve offered help, but i hvnt been looking either thouhg so...

i guess i'll take this chance to ask again for a spriter, or at least anyone who is good at resizing sprites for assistance on at least that aspect. more mappers or any other help aside from beta testers would be appricated....

some updates inbound w/in the nxt week or 2

on that note i take my leave..

TB Pro February 7th, 2008 3:27 PM

Well that's no good!
lol!
I hope you get some progress completed!
Lookin' like a pretty good hack so far!
BOL!

Antwhan February 10th, 2008 1:19 PM

well...my supposed team fell through and now i'm left with my lazy mapper...

i call shenanigans. OPEN CASTING CALL!

Sprite indexer for 4th generation Pokemon
General Spriter
a mapper that would actually work

any other help would be accepted, we dont rly need a scripter as of yet since i'm wrking on that, but if anyone else wants to offer services the help will be appricated.

TB Pro February 10th, 2008 1:22 PM

I can map for you!
I'll join on one condition okay?
Please don't beg me to map for you when I don't do it.
I have a hack that I am working on so I'll map when I can.
I am a good a mapper just ask: Itman1234, Or Kebbles!

I will not be lazy tho I promise!

Antwhan February 10th, 2008 2:13 PM

I acquiesce to your terms teh blaziken. And understand about your hack, I too am an assistant on one *cough*rocket's revenge*cough* and wont force you and such.

Maybe i shud explain my seeming hate for mappers. i dotn hate mappers, on the contrary i love them, one of the mre essential things in a hack. The one i have though has done a total of 3 maps over the course of 3 months, and mst hve been subpar. Shure he's a neophite but i cant cut him since he's the only irl friend i hve that wanted to wrk on a hack with me.

anyway that makes the staff 3!
Blaze, i could sned u ur assignments however u want, msn, pms, aim email...just tell me alright?

still looking for a spriter of any flavor.

Oh wow that's slow!

Well do you have an MSN Messenger account?
If not PM works fine for me!

Antwhan February 14th, 2008 4:40 PM

[email protected] is my msn s/n usually i use aim but i go on msn from tiem to tiem....
hit me up with yours

(edited w/ an update post ccccombo)

I call the thread to life again! if anyone wants to submit sprites for the project they are welcome to do so.

I'm looking for an unusual sprite set, that offers some challenge ( I think ) as far as oiginal ideas goes.

Army-styled units such as:
* Generic soldiers male and female
* higher ranked officer sprites of various ranks
* generals and assorted boss characters (inquire cause spoilers possible if u wish to mke sprites for these)

Hero/Heroine sprites
Looking for a hero rly but heroine will be added i guess once major stuff out of the way...

hat-less hero would be something i'm looking for...no other requirements (I'm open liek that) If you spriters need more to run with then i'll wrk on some other specs i guess.

If anyone is willing to or has indexed 4th gen pkmn i ask for your help as well.

let's see on progress...got some scripts wrking which is good. Mappers are a'mappin'.

I implore any spriter to give me sumthing to run with as army guys go...

thanx to mappers teh blaziken (who's maps hve looked good from his own hack) and link119 (who had better show me some more of the maps he's wrking on) for the help with my large idea...

TB Pro February 24th, 2008 5:34 PM

I would be happy to Let you have some of my Indexed D/P Pokemon if you would like.
Offtopic: Sorry I left ya' hangin' on AIM, but itm would not let me send any messages man!
On Topic: I finished that map for you before you left for DC, but I never gat a chance to send it to you. Stupid AIM!

mistersmeargle February 24th, 2008 5:46 PM

Spriter reporting for duty.

Antwhan February 24th, 2008 9:14 PM

considering the spriter shortage that consistently plagues the pkmn hack realm, and i'm inability to sprite as i've said b4, i welcome mistersmeargle to the position of lead spriter. Welcome aboard.

Update time (I guess?)

Myself: lead designer, map touchups/finalizing, concept and story
Link119: co-mapper, secondary designer, approvals
Teh Blaziken: co-Mapper, sprite indexer
Mistersmeargle: Lead Spriter
  • MS (if u dont mnd the shortening) pm, im msn me for info on an assignment i have for you.
  • also there will be color changes to certain pokemon to adjust their colors to suit the enviroment better,
    bright colored ones may be toned down to give a better feel to the grim atmosphere ( think naranja if you will)
    currently there's only scizor who has gone from bright red into a very evil & updated look more suiting for him. sprites will be demoed in screenies in due time. :)
  • the list of cuts from current pokemon gens has gone through finalizing, and 4th gen approvals are pending.
  • major maps hve been completed and after small touchups may be posted afterwards.
  • Thanx are due to blaziken for helping spur on major movement in my other mapper and my own scripting speed. He is a major asset to the team. (no pressure MS lol jk jk ;) )

ALSO: I hope to include a new interesting concept in this game as far as gameplay goes, details are highly classified atm but all I am willing to devulge is that i need confirmation on weather or not i can hex more than 5 evos to a given pokemon, as that will influence this idea slightly in it's execution.

kebbles February 24th, 2008 10:50 PM

I don't usually help new hackers, but I'll map for u if u like.
I created Mystical Glacier, check out the thread, and yeah just PM if you want me to...
Best of luck.

Kk I have a few things to outline far ya'!
  • I would like to help with scripting if it is needed.
  • Don't forget to give me credit for the Scizor;) lol! Jk, Jk!
  • Thank you so much for all that thanks! it really means alot! More than you think!
  • BOL!

Darthatron February 25th, 2008 3:19 PM

wow! Awesome story, it kinda sounds like a reverse Full Metal Alchemist story, I love it! I really do hope you can implement all the idea you have, 'cos they sound good too. :D

wow, the amazing darth. thanks for the support, your tools are sublime. as if you needed another person to tell ya that. :P

I wasn;t thinking specifically of fma, but that works out lol.

another day another update:
well music hacking has stumbled into the realm of alliance.

I have successfully managed to create midis of some song files i liked and currently messing with sappy to try to get it sounding right as well as get the right length for the songs, cause i woudl rather replace the old music, instead of just adding new stuff into it clogging the rom.

I hope these tracks'll help to add a unique flavor to the hack and give it differentiation from the rest out there.

Also in the market to add new tiles and palletes to the game, this is up in the air still as to when i'll get round to it. But most likely it'll be sooner rather than l8r.

still looking for an answer to my question that i said b4, got desprate enuff to toss into simple questions thread lol... if ANYONE can answer my question please do...

maps are on the way for display sumtime this week along with other media. stay posted.

Rock ON !!

Tanro February 29th, 2008 5:07 AM

Sounds pretty cool even if borrows a bit from digimon plots. Ya know the whole getting transported to the digita.... er pokeworld. But I cant wait to see when this gets made.

Neither can my cat, he is purring and staring at the computer.

Antwhan March 13th, 2008 7:25 PM

What's this? I've been able to force myself away from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, long enuff to provide an update after the hiatus it's been on.

As far as music goes....not so good....countless failed attempts mean it's a no go as it stands....

I got some work in the mapping department, but it's nt fixed w/ the new tiles/palletes. Speaking of those, we are going w/ the d/p base found on pho w/ pallete changes by the infamous TB PRo! I feel that they looks fantastic. Using this base means i need to remap some of the stuff now cause well the d/p trees are bigger and such. no biggie. I'll find time.

Moving on......Sprites! yes yes yes... We got a few to show off now dont we? Mistersmeargle has given us these Gorgeous sprites to use. now i've been faced with the bug of getting them inserted/indexed. also on the to do list. let's show off the sprites shall we?

Hero
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/malehero.png

Heroine
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/femaleheroine.png

Army Private
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/armyprivate.png

NOW....about these ingame....we need overworlds for these guys and the main probelm i've been running into is changing the palletes of the overworlds to wrk and making good ones @ that, sprites @ least. So, consider it a request for anyone w/ good overworld skills.

they need to be indexed and set up for insertion so unless anyone else wants to do that i'll take care of that someday soon.

well did i cover everything....alsmt i guess

I wasn't thinking about them actually. But know that i do think bout it it is similar to the plot of the 1st season at least.

Casting call is open as always: overworlds needed for those sprites, and to index them properly

anyway, progress has slowed mainly due to skool and BRAWL so pardon the speed we're just changing gears atm. :)

Rock On,
Antwhan

ajg.dude March 13th, 2008 7:53 PM

off topic: (to 4fetter) buddy, I dunno what your trying to achieve with the above post, but your spamming. And your not only doing it on this thread. If you want to stay a dignified member of PC, I suggest you smarten up.

On topic: this is beginning to take shape and look like a good hack. And good luck with the music inserting, I have struggled with it in the past also.

Well Antwhan IS looking for a spriter, but I do beleive he wants to see some proof before he lets you join the team.

Antwhan March 30th, 2008 10:33 AM

well.... no there are not any fakemon in this hack persay, there is a unique aspect 2 the battling that'll b revealed in time however :P

also small update i guess... support userbar w/ a banner on the way.

also i may reveal some screens in a short while so stay tuned.

ksunwoo6 April 1st, 2008 7:34 PM

Um..
 
Yeah/// I dunno about this hack//

Antwhan April 9th, 2008 5:43 PM

thanx for some imput about it. i love the critisim....

feel free to say at least what u think about it, not just post a line giving no remarks other than "idk aobut this hack."

well i guess there's no time liek the present for an update...

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/preview1.png

well as you can see, there has been work going on for the hack, and here's some proof of an in game screenshot...

as you can see, I'm using the d/p rombase i got on PHO, quite a nice base, i like the different tree sizes myself. Some custom overworlds to go with the hero(es) atm only the male is working ok.

Pallete changes are being made to numerous things, they've alrdy been applied to the overworlds for the mst part.

1st showing of hack will go up to the 2nd town, to help get the story's prologue out of the way and get you ready for the 1st story arc.

Something i plan on doing that i have not seen done before in a hack is a wide open area, like those in games such as zelda and dragon quest. Such an expanse may seem overwhelming to get used to but the exploration aspect i think will make it a very cool addition for it will give the world a much larger feel than other games have done as well as provide for many secret areas.

Fear not, the prologue will be ready for enjoyment in the coming weeks after some scripting is finished up and i feel confident with how it plays....

updating the 1st post with the banner and screen in a few....

anyway....we're goign to keep on truckin here on the Alliance Alliance ( see wut i did there >.< lol) Be ready for the unexpected as there are more secrets to this hack that will be revealed in due time.

Tyrantrum April 9th, 2008 5:45 PM

It's pretty cool.
The hair was practically invisible for a second.

Antwhan April 9th, 2008 6:11 PM

The hair is a little close to the grass in color so i may need to play test it 2 c if it gets bothersome or annoying to people.

also thanx for the comment on that.

>KILLER< April 12th, 2008 10:13 PM

you need a mapper, i can help you

Antwhan April 19th, 2008 6:39 PM

Well my friends, the time is nearing that o so faithful of ocasions.

the 1st showing. Some call it an alpha. Others, pre beta. Other's still, preview.

I call it the most important showing you can make.

The gravity of showing off hard work to your peers is daunting. Even moreso when you go little to no notice amist the sea of remakes and facepalming ideas some people try to implement. No offense to the hardworking creators of the these hacks, but stop with the remakes/rehashes or old ideas. Everytime i see some of the ideas that get huge attention, i look at it myself, only to lose a little bit more of hope for originality out there shown by the brave few who try to work for it.

Although the media shown is minor in comaprison to others at the moment, a major overhaul will be taking place w/in the following week or so, in which the Prolouge of my so called hack shall be shown off. This will give a taste of the game and ease you into the storyline.

While I cannot show you at the moment what you will eventually have, I can promise you Freeroaming expanse akin to those seen in the Legend of Zelda series. Yes such a thing i have not yet seen in any game out there. Why would I want to travel around a vast open area? you may ask. Well i feel it gives a sense of freedom and choice unlike the routes of old have given you. There will be some areas that are route like in that they are bound to a path, these however are not part of the expanse and vast land you will be given to explore. The diversity of such an area will mean that high risk early could lead to great prizes while those who play it safe and stick to the path will only see a fraction of the land and it's wonders.

Another thing I hope to provide is a true narrative, that is still lacking amidst much of the scene. I cannot vouch for some hacks out there, because i've been busy with my own. So this is in an effort against the offical games them selves. I hope to bring the most cinematic experience a pokemon game built on fire red can bring you.

For those who actually read all that, thank you for reading and you all get a prize of 1 piece of cake.
For the rest you get a brand new banner:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/28642339mj4.jpg

It was made in collaboration with my one friend who doesn't come here so the credit falls to him.

So media dump tomorrow to accompany this very wordy bump of great justice for all.

UPDATE: Screens for the masses. Enjoy the preview.

So confusing.... this isn't where our bus stopped...


So that's it.... The screens and all for now. I have been aflicted with the cursed pokescript that can not compile so dont expect videos of stuff anytime soon... things hopefully will work out well....

I can hel. I don't have any experience but at least I could make some banners, advertise on other forums.
I've got to start my hacking career somewhere don't I?

Antwhan April 22nd, 2008 6:59 PM

Thanks for the banners. They are not the most flashy ones out there but they are good for a neophyte ot the general scene.

Anyway an update. Due to a miracle, I've found a way to compile scripts now myself. So things are going to be moving quicker.

Antwhan April 24th, 2008 2:24 PM

Attention to all.

I am going to release the prolouge sometime within the week and was wondering how everyone feels about the look of the game so far from the screens. Last minute changes to the graphics can be done fairly quickly and scripting is moving along nicely. The hair has been a worry for me, i was thinking about making it a darker green, but tell me how you all feel about it.

And an open request to mods here. I feel the time is right for change, don't you? If someone would be so kind as to move the thread on up to the showcase now i'll be eternally grateful. Sorry about this psudo-2x post

One Winged Angel April 24th, 2008 3:06 PM

I think its cool xD. Keep up the Good Work and thanks for helping me with Warps. Check my thread and tell me whats wrong with my maps please.

TB Pro April 24th, 2008 4:40 PM

Well the screenies look nice;) It all looks nice, And you're coming close to a release! Well, I think this thing is ready to move onto the Showcase, myself. Well, BOL!

Tyrantrum April 24th, 2008 4:44 PM

I kinda think u should darken the hair a little, that way it doesn't look invisible, lol.

Blazichu April 24th, 2008 9:02 PM

This did go into the Hacks Showcase, but I moved it back.

What you need to have is features of your hack in the first post, then it will be acceptable for the Hacks Showcase ;)

Antwhan April 25th, 2008 2:29 AM

*facepalm* how did i forget my features section? :P Well anyway, they are listed now. So yeah. Thanks going out to blazichu and all the other mods that i pm'd about moving the thread for this past week. You guy's have been great.

Updates will come sometime 2day but for now i have to go finish up this paper due in 3 hours.

Link119 April 26th, 2008 6:32 PM

hmmm...i never realized that...now that you mention it it kinda does...but its very different...

mistersmeargle May 10th, 2008 3:27 AM

Nice to see that you're making progress Antwhan, sorry about my lack of...presence, but I have a lot on my plate. Anyway, I'm back but not working on my own hack ideas for a while but I'm still available to sprite for you.

Tropical Sunlight May 10th, 2008 4:51 AM

I think you should change the hair, it looks annoying to me. I first thought half of the hero's head was missing..... Change it into a red, black, blond/e, or brown hair.

maximum911 May 10th, 2008 6:11 AM

I concur with icecharizard

Neti May 10th, 2008 11:35 PM

Wow dude thats a really nice plot! Its such a good idea!

if you need help with the maps let me know, it would be really cool for me to participate in this hack.
not as a part of your team, just helping out a bit. i dont have so much time to join another team, i have a lot to do at FoR.
if not i could maybe make new userbars for you, but ithink you already have nice ones. see the two in my signature, they are made by me

The tiles are nice too, but i dont like the hat the male hero is wearing...

Chimchar 9 May 11th, 2008 10:20 AM

looks really good but you need to change the spirits hair you can hardly see it because the grass

Zeikku™ May 11th, 2008 11:57 AM

looks ok so far, nice tiles, keep it up

Zeikku™ May 11th, 2008 1:16 PM

looks ok so far, nice tiles, keep it up

Antwhan May 11th, 2008 3:10 PM

Time for some take care of clean up it seems. QandA team go!

1st off nice to see my mate Link119 showing up for the 1st in a while, he's nt the most active fellow on forums, but we keep up via im.

Mistersmeargle! It's a pleasure to see ya around again. Also i hope u got that pm I sent ya, take ur time if u can lend ur majik talents once more.

IceCharizard, maximum911, chimchar 9, - The hair is staying green but is going to be a different shade. Don't exactly know why i want it green but it feels good to me.

Neti - no hat on hero, that;'s the crazy green hair, also i'll take u up on ur offer(s) if you dont mind. i'll pm or im u sometime about some small help. And i understand stretching urself out too far so dont over do yourself on that

zeikku SSJ7 thanx for ur support.

And to everyone let it known that things are still moving even though i hvnt been as active recently. I've been dealing with some annoying school work but msot is out of the way so i can finally get to finishing up the prologue so u can all get the mere appetizer of these feast of a hack.

Platinum Lucario May 13th, 2008 5:35 AM

Cool hack, I like the tiles in the game.
Good luck! :)

Nalesnik May 13th, 2008 10:06 AM

I'm really looking forward to this hack. Do you know when you'll be able to release the demo, if you don't mind me asking?

ps: I definetly agree with the decison about the neon green hair, it defiently gots to go =P

joeyfuse174 May 15th, 2008 8:50 AM

its sounds like a good story i think for a game like this ur starter should be like an Eveee or A Roulu and change the hair and you know what would be a crazy idea if u start with Roulu it follows you like pikachu in yellow and if u make it evolve it shows lucario follow u

silverpokemon May 29th, 2008 5:35 PM

dude change the hair to like black and improve the graphics a bit more please.
im not saying this wont be a good game its just improve those please?

Antwhan June 24th, 2008 10:38 AM

Time be damned, I havent given up folks. And the month has not passed wasted. I've been dealing w/ scripts and some bugs tht croped up.

Don't fret though, things are still moving. The ending of school was full of a lot of stuff in a short amount of time so forgive me for being busy there.... I've been dealing w/ a lot of housework and not hving axcess to a comp so tht makes it a little hard to do anything w/ Alliance....

Anyway...

i would answer questions if there were any ones really asked.... the hair color has been adjusted so it's less grass like in green, idk if i mentioned that already, fairly shure i did....

release date....ummmm...there will be something hopefully in the next 2 weeks to show no promises but possibly something, the testers will get something @ least

i hvnt chosen any yet but there will be 5/6 testers.... Apply @ ur own risk, pms prefered but u can post here if u want....3 spots open to public i guess u would call it....

Har D Har June 24th, 2008 11:46 AM

Hmmm...Only 3 mapping errors in the screen shots. Zvarri! I deduce that you are a reltively skilled mapper!

second June 24th, 2008 12:17 PM

i like the tiles but i dont like the guy overworld
his hair is green and when hes walking on grass it dosent look good
other than that looks like a good hack .... keep it up!

Then suggest him to change the Hero's Hair from light green to dark green.

Wow your right. The Hero's overworld's hair color is almost the exact same colour as the grass.
I don't think it looks bad, it just looks like he has no hair. ^_^

I think the hack looks very good so far, and wish the best of luck to the staff!

Ninja Caterpie July 5th, 2008 7:19 PM

Also, the hair looks scribbly. VERY scribbly.

This storyline is so unique, it's painful.

HIYAS!!
LUCK MATE!

Darthatron July 10th, 2008 6:57 AM

So like, story is still cool. How's it all going for you..? Having fun, I hope.

Screen shots look great, but I'm not to keen of the Hero's hair, it kind of blends into the ground... A lot. >_>

Anyway, keep it up, and I hope you get a BETA up soon, I can't wait to play it. :) (I don't really like hacks, but this one has a very nice story. xD)

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

Also, I'm making a hack with similar story, (sorry), I kind of forgot about this one... For awhile. D:

Anyway, I don't think anything was directly stolen from this, except the story. (Which is really more based off FMA/FFT:A)

Anywho................

I can't wait for your BETA. :D

Red1530 July 10th, 2008 4:43 PM

I started liking this hack the moment you mentioned fighting a totalitarian regime.

[HoN] Jereziah July 11th, 2008 12:44 AM

Could i be your beta tester?
Proof: Finished lots of hacks...and found many errors....

Greywolf July 11th, 2008 2:08 PM

Nice way of toning up the storyline, its real interesting. As for anythign else, mostly I could test the hack, but in any case, I'm in your corner!

Antwhan July 25th, 2008 9:38 AM

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Your support is always appriciated. However, i am in need of recruiting and as such am going to open up a team thread for the occasion. if there is anything you would like to help out with, mapping, scripting, writing, spriting, music, post a request in the upcoming team thread which i'll link to once i get it approved.

With my one mapper leaving the scene, i need another to step in to place. so open casting call will be go in the upcoming team thread. post if you wish to help out in either thread.

idrum4all2see July 25th, 2008 5:08 PM

Ima Mapper....
 
This looks like a really great game
I would help but my mapping is horrible.
Sorry :[
But I wish you luck!

shadow mudkip July 26th, 2008 12:36 AM

Nice hack, But the hair of that boy o.o

Sarcastic Prince July 26th, 2008 4:52 AM

If you are asking people to do almost everything, then what will you do?

Antwhan July 26th, 2008 3:25 PM

perhaps you misunderstood my lst post prince.

I'm not saying i need people. I just am saying people are welcome to lend a hand if they so choose to. I can do most of the stuff but it helps when you have others to lend a hand.

An Amish guy can build a house himself, but he always calls all his friends over to help out anyway.

Like i said before i dont demand people to help but i would like some new help since all my old allies are either gone away, or have left hacking.

I tackle most of the scripting and tiling. But i need a new spriter since MS has got too much on his plate. (backsrpites for the heros) and a mapper to help with the extensivly large mapping of the large land. The rest i can tackle myself if i really need to, but i get by with a little help from my friends...*drifts into song* *fades out*

(team thread is go)

Death_Mande July 26th, 2008 3:36 PM

This is a very interesting hack you haves there. But there's a tiny thing that i don't like. The dude's hair :/

Yea, I know, I think the hair should either be a wayyy darker green, or a different color in general, because it mixes with the grass.

Now, for my comment :)
I've realized that there hasn't been much progress THAT IS SHOWN but I still love this hack! I mean, look at that story. It's perfect, you can expect it to be like amazing in game, with the war going on and everything. Judging from the screenshots, I can't really get a taste of how the maps are, but they seem great.

Well, I hope to see some progress going on, you know, see what's up.
Best of luck, and if you need a hand in stuffs, I'm here, but not all the time...well, you know, but like I can help out if you need it.

GOOOOOOOOD LUUUUUUCK

Sandro™ August 4th, 2008 8:47 PM

I'm Looking forward to this hack... Good luck.. I would like to help... but i don't know about those things lol!
I can be a beta tester if you like... Im good at discovering errors and bugs...

Mr.Fury August 5th, 2008 6:51 AM

Ok I have decided to make some userbars for ya!!!

All I need from you is the sprites/OWs of the hero/heroine.
Also if you fill me in on a legendary i can use that too.
And starter pokemon would help as well.

^_^

Mr.Fury August 5th, 2008 6:53 AM

I have decided to make you userbars.
Lucky you! :P
All I need is:
-Hero sprites/OWs
-Heroine sprites/OWs
-Legendary Pokemon
-Starters

:)

Antwhan August 11th, 2008 7:18 PM

well small update for y'all.

here's the fix'd hero overworld

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/overworldmale31.jpg

it's inserted but i dont have time to take a pic of it ingame.

also my partner in crime has returned to my aid after his hiatus. so progress will move faster than it has been.

a new route i'm working on to help feed the thread w/ some sembance of life.


the grass needs to be recut on it but aside from tht i think it's fine just needing trainers on it now....

so i hope tht's something to go off of, i'm heading on vacation for a week so we'll see on progress again when i return...

Wast Out

Tyrantrum August 11th, 2008 7:34 PM

It's hair color looks much better! :D
GL~

Sarcastic Prince August 12th, 2008 2:31 AM

Don't post full maps.

It will make the hack not fun.

The Hero's hair is way better than before.

Have you done the female yet?

Does the grass has it's own palette?

maximum911 August 25th, 2008 1:02 PM

just a comment but i think u could use a bit of grass around the upper sign in the map you posted. the hair looks much better.

Antwhan August 25th, 2008 1:17 PM

well sorry bout that. at the time i felt as if i had very little support and following so i felt i shud show a map to show i am working on Alliance. i dont like showing full maps either but it's jsut something to help keep things alive, even for myself.

the female's ow is not completely done, but it's not on top of the todo list. it's being worked on however.

the grass i need to fix up but thnx for the comments

i dont know what u mean prince bout the grass hving it's own pallete...

deadlyangel91792 August 25th, 2008 2:26 PM

dude i like how the hack is looking but 1 thing the male characters hair blends in wit the grass to much i think black or red would look better jus throwing it out there for you to consider changing

It means Grass Animation.

Sorry that I forgot how to write that at that time.

.:GaBrIeL:. August 25th, 2008 4:06 PM

I like the D/P trees and all of the maps and tilesets but I dont like the fact u used may!

Antwhan August 25th, 2008 4:19 PM

i didnt get round to fixing the animation yet truth be told but i plan on getting it done for the alpha/beta/prolouge/ wutever i decide to call it.

also tht's nt may it's just a random sprite i picked....no established characters will appear in this game...

.:GaBrIeL:. August 25th, 2008 4:21 PM

okay! its a good idea not to have any old characters anyway!

Antwhan September 14th, 2008 1:56 PM

small update on the news front, some more mapping completed, meaning that a release isnt too far off.

yes after all the planning the 1st release of Pokemon Alliance is gaining steam. No set date yet, as tht'll flux with my skool work and pre-college stuff. But Things are going strong in Alliance's secret underground base.

no screens atm when i get scripts inserted i'll post some. hopefully sometime this week or so...

Bumped for preparation for awesome by Wast

Very Cool Mate. I'll be here waiting for another awesome update.
Good luck and Make it look awesom as always.

Antwhan October 13th, 2008 7:00 PM

Bump
 
yes a month has gone by and no alliance updates.... how sad....

well if anyone cares why, it's because of college. yes i too find it hard to believe that i'm applying to college at this very moment. This week alone i'm swamped w/ a multitude of papers and assignments that are crazy annoying.

however i bring good news...

my mapper who u most of you dont know broke his hand a few weeks ago which is why he was slow w/ getting me new maps. well happily he's good to go again, so that'll give us enuff maps for the beta release.

and when this week it through, scripting will begin full steam ahead, straight on into a release.

and something to appease the obviously clamouring masses (sarcasim on the internet!), http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/Antwhan/development/overworldgirl3upload.jpg

photobukit messed up the coloring but she has an orange shirt w/ a blue stripe on it like her main sprite has.

the female ow sprite.

s'not much, but better than nuthing right guys?

anyway, this bump post will keep this thread alive. Also postitions still open is anyone wants in...

the soldier seen in the banner is what i was intending to use for the private's in the army.

all three of those sprites were done by mistersmeargle who had left the scean a while back, if you were wondering. he is dearly missed, by the team because he was a great early supporter.

There isnt a single main rival you face off with. There are a few trainers you will encounter more than once however so they can be called ur rivals in a sense. but no true rival. you will pick the name for a character other than yourself however what role that character will play isn't going to be the main rival.

?foʀeveʀFTW¿ November 2nd, 2008 4:58 AM

hmm, I have to say everything is good except for Main Boy's hair .____.


its just with how bright the grass/field is, it blends in

you might wanna change it to a darker shade (either the hair or the grass)

EDIT- Whoops, didnt see the laer posts

good job with new hair!

mjdgoldeneye December 9th, 2008 4:34 PM

Bump Thread is Bump...

Update: I am semi-mostly-officially the music man for this mod and I'm here to say "Hi".

I'm new. Woop!

GKS December 9th, 2008 10:13 PM

This looks really good, I think the sprite could use some palette editing, but it's good. Looks very professional. :)

Christos December 10th, 2008 10:54 AM

This thread was dead for over a month. Antwhan, if you want this open again, just Private Message one of the ROM Hacking moderators.

Christos December 15th, 2008 5:30 AM

Antwhan's requested this to be opened, and will be posting an update soon~

Antwhan December 15th, 2008 7:25 PM

Thanks Semele for remembering about the date.

anyway.... Sorry about the long absence my friends. Wast here got a little busy with school work and getting college applications taken care of. Something had to give and that ended up being hacking.

But fear not. Alliance is back, well almost anyway. The beta is not finalized. But will be playable in January. Yes. i know. only a year for 1 short beta. Well the way i see it. might as well do it right early on to keep things smooth in the later chapters.

Staffing....

Well mjdgoldeneye has introduced himself and is a crucial part of the music of alliance. hopefully some of it will make it into the public showing.

The last major wall to overcome is going to be scripting. now tht falls on me mstly. So yeah. Be prepared.

Anyway... the usual closing comments are in order. feel free to offer help if you want to, or ask to join the rag tag squad. If anyone is good w/ title screens, and feels up to a challenge. you know who to ask.

No screenies today. Maybe later in the week though...

Nonsense January 11th, 2009 4:44 AM

is any version ( beta or alpha ) out yet?

fyyarman January 31st, 2009 2:37 PM

I like it can't wait till the hack comes out.

Hiei January 31st, 2009 2:59 PM

Alright, a couple things to say.

First off, your story is really pretty good! It's nice to see some people have an imagination still.

But... your maps and sprites, the male main character mostly, are in need of improvement. For maps, especially that field. You might have fixed this stuff, I haven't seen anything else of it, but so far I'd say you're doing pretty well. Hope you don't stop working on this.
