Team Night Sky proudly presents: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8481/shadowblacko.png Hack of: http://members.optusnet.com.au/soanevalcke/famepublication/badge-firered.png Even since the dates were closing on your 10th birthday, your dream, to be a Poke Master, were growing stronger and stronger. The day will come. But.... the night has to pass. How will it? That wierd sensation, its eating you up. What's going on? Your dream, will it come true? What happens, when things do not go as you wish, as you dream? ------------------------------------------- Ah! A bright new day to start an adventure. You step out of your house.... Darn, it's raining. A perfect day! Well, you musn't be late to get your first Pokemon. Ummm.... How difficult it is to choose among three excellent Pokemon! Who is.... that Pokemon, following you....? You can't see it. But you can feel its presence. What is it? Is is guarding you? If yes, then from what? Face The Shadow Squad, who lurk amoing the shadows causing havoc among the people of the region. This team was reunited from the disbanded Team Galactic. They no longer aim the Distorted World or the Space above, they are desperately trying to find Mt. Lyton, where the ultimate Pokemon resides, to sieze control of the whole region. Will you be able stop the Shadow Squad from their evil undoings? So trainers, the region of Oraon is ready for your arrival, are you ready? Step up as the greatest trainer one has ever known, and find the three mystical rivers leading to the Lake of Lyton, whose beauty is beyond imagination. There will lie the great Mountain Lyton Itself. It holds something mysterious. Only the brave among the chosen few will be able to complete this ultimate quest. But why has this place been dreaded since ancient times? What does it hold for you? Is it that Pokemon? Legends say that whosoever finds Mt. Lyton shall face the ultimate Pokemon, the master of all Pokemon. But for that, tremendous courage and love for Pokemon is needed. Twas once said, "Pokemon are never evil, its their trainer who is good or evil." Will history repeat itself, or will you decide it? 1. D/P/Pt. Pokemon 7. You will mostly decide the storyline.2. Starters are the sinnoh ones. 3. Darkrai is the main legendary. Is he? Or is he not? 4. Plenty of scripts to keep you entertained throughout the bulk of the game. 4. A new region Oraon, north-west of Sinnoh. 6. New music. 8. A brand new HP Laptop to send and receive e-mails. :D 9. A lot more you could discover youreself! 10. Detailed lanscapes, featuring the low hills in the South and the snow capped mountains in the North. 11. Quest of finding the 3 mystical rivers of Oraon, which will lead to mini-quests and Mt. Lyton itself. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pikasleep.gifScreenShots: Spoiler:

A hack? Good move, Mervyn797.
The mapping needs improvement. The story isn't bad. But Munchlax for a starter? Anyways, good luck. |
hehehe! the story is stub. XD some last moment problems made it difficult to get the ingame screenies. too bad. xD
mapping is bad o.O gotta do some work. XD |
This game seems to be a great game. When is the expected release date?
|
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/correct.png
these are your tile-errors pal... Great story :) get some screens up k? |
yeah, that tiel error was fixed, you know that codec, but, i forgot to update the map shot. lol

Anyway, mervyn, can you script? I forgot if you can or not. If not, then... Well, forget this, as to get far in this, you need to either be very good at explaining your ideas, and how you want the scripts to work, or create the scripts yourself. The 2nd is less time consuming. Why always Darkrai as the main legendary... Honestly, he may look evil, but most hacks with Shadow in their name either have Shadow Pokemon or Darkrai... True it is the only Dark Type Legendary, but how does it fit into the story? As the story is a stub, apparently, I cannot rate that, but the starter choice is... Well, not good. EIther make a choice, or something that is starter material. Munchlax isn't big on the power department, comapred. |
what if i edit some of munchlax's moves? his stats? yeah, i can script.

|
in the story, you go to the professors lab, but then u see that lonely muchlax, and yeah.. that.
|
Interesting tiles ya used...
Good luck with it (Why so many hacks have Shadow in name? xD) |
Quote:
|
shadow is simply a coincidence, ask, giradialkia, he knows it.
|
Nice spooky story. But the mapping needs improvement. I will help.
|
I'll come clean here guys- the name ShadowBlack was my idea, it's supposed to be like FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver- you know, basically in 'ObjectColour' format. I wasn't aware that so many hacks had 'Shadow' in the name, but I agree, there are an awful lot. So apologies for that- I think it'd be good, if so many people didn't already use it, lol. Any critique on the temporary title screen? I know what it lacks, obviously, eg a proper logo, and Press Start and such, but other than that, does it look alright? (it's my first one, see).

cant you see it? |
that screenies wasnt a tile error. its was border error. XD
|
Right ok sorry.
You want me to make a hero OW? |
yeah, i need a new player OW. but it has to be something out of the ordinary. XD
|
What exactly do you mean???
|
no, make it like it should be. XD
|
Um... I have no motivation or anything to base it off man
|
what details do you need?
|
I dunno, basically just what you want him to loo like..
|
very good till now. wanna play! XD
|
Quote:
the clothes should be rather simple (colour depends on the palette, keep the FR OW palettes in mind. bag should be the normal type. more details? |
any progress? where's the vid?
|
yeah, yeah, some new screenies.
its called Dark Pass. A tiny pass in the mountains. http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/4817/shadow7.png http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/3896/shadow6.png http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9950/shadow5.png |
Dark Pass? havent got a better name? :D dont worry, it matches with the name.
|
umm... why? any suggestions?
|
The pass looks... Too square, the mountains do not look natural enough. Make them less square, and do not make the layer above copy the layer below like that (but smaller), it looks... Unnatural.
|

|
i think that map isnt very attractive, thats it.
|
I dedrew that Dark Pass heres it:
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/9489/shadow8.png Also, The next town: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4430/shadow9.png http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3429/shadow10.png http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/1154/shadow11.png |
do u like mountains a lot? :S lol. doesnt matter, this town is.... better mapped than atleast Dark Pass. Improvement. XD
|
Your mountains were your biggest problem with Dark Pass, not the lack of trees. Square mountains just don't look good as a finished product, so I'd be taking Banjora's advice and making it more 'natural looking'.
While the next town looks interesting from the photos you have posted, it also seems to suffer from square-mountain-itis :/ |
YAY! if that's true. lol
geez gotta do more scripting.. man, i really cant understand the square mountain problem, pls can someone explain, i cant understand :/ id be grateful. |
whats there not to understand, make them rectangular. XD
|
okay people, here's the map of the second town:
Spoiler:
Please, id be grateful if someone would help me? Square mountains. pls. |
the map is great!
but why is the border so thick? |
glad you liked it. well square mountains is still the prob. cant understand. :/
|
Quote:
seriously man! What everyonr means by square mountains is that they are not natural-looking. making them too straight doesnt help, make the edges unpredictably natural! |
yay! now i understand. lol, robin9211.
well im getting onto this thing. |
okay, i was kidding on that one. soz. good u understood anyway. XD
|
Okay i fixed the town a bit, coz there wasnt enough time.
have a look and see if it somewhat solves the problem. Spoiler:
|
im guessing this one looks more natural, but theres scope for improvemnt. and also fix those Dark Pass screenies.
|
oh! thank you! ill fix those,but its almost dark, cant do it now. :(
|
The Pokemon Center is in front of the mountain entrance, which is not very natural. And house should have some space between them.
|
Quote:
Treeplacement may need to be improved, but the mountains look OK. |
Nice. If any body lets this thread die... Shaymin! Use Seed Flare!

okay i remade Dark Pass and the second town, trying to follow Banjora's advise. Have a look...:-
Spoiler:
im guessing dark pass still needs improvement. lol, pls. comment. |
no joke, the next town is looking awesome. comendable improvement. good job!!
|
thanks.
some screenies from the second town:- http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8598/shadow14.png http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/131/shadow13.png http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1246/shadow12d.png |
DUDE!
Awesome! You can probably get into Progressiong hacks now! |
Quote:
|
hahaha! yeah, even i think this thread is ready to be moved.
|
oh!
a screenie from the deeply critised Dark Pass, pls tell me if something's wrong here. Spoiler:
|
Hey, hey, that's looking much better!
The only thing that I can suggest is to do with the two small trees stacked on top of oneanother - Combined with the right side of Dark Path, the player can only go down a small path one tile in width. Its usually best to give a player at least a two tile width between blocks - But apart from that, everything is looking much better :D |
much better i must say. more "natural looking" XD
yeah u could do it that way, thats what fuji is saying. |
okay, you say i must do away with 1 tile space, or get those trees out of there. lol,
|
you can ask some other mod to move it.
|
I love the tiles in your hack, cause they are so dark, i love dark tiles :) Good luck! :)
|
oops O_o is it because of no$gba? lol, the tiles are actually quite dark but the emulator is causing them to look excessive dark.
|
lol mervyn, spoiled the dark fun. XD
|
no, as i told they do look quite dark ingame.
|
leave that. well where are the new OW's Mervyn? are you going to insert them or not? lol
|
dont worry! giradialkia is going to do them, to draw my jaws. XD
|
This is a cool hack. I like the Dark Pallets. Good Job so far :)
|
Quote:
well, giradialkia is going to insert indoor tiles from alucus of borg's tiles. they are very cool! |
hey! the new story is kinda interesting! no munchlax?
|
Hello there, You have a interesting storyline there. But the maps needs alot more works, i see alot of border errors and tile errors, And the tiles are so dark really hard to see the screens. But if you want me to, i can make the logo for the titlescreen of your hack.
|
Quote:
or wait... can u make the logo? if yes, pls send! |
1 Attachment(s)
Hear is the logo :) Don't forget to credit me mister.
|
Maybe I can help with the pointing out:
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4421/shadow4.pngLook at the bottom with the route connections (You just need to got to Map Connections, and delete the one going down! http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/4817/shadow7.png The trees at the far right have the wrong top, and as they are the border, that is a Border error. |
Oh thank you Bajora! im getting to fixing them.
|
Everything looking good till now. Let's see.... ^.^
|
That's a funny start! Hahahaha
|
Quote:
