[HotW #100] Pokémon Beryl
[simple-spoil=prologue]
Spoiler:
![]() Co-owned with Deviation Introduction Hello all, you probably know me (you might not) from my previous hacks, mentioned above or from my spritework. I'm a comic artist, but I guess that's irrelevant. Ifound out about ROM Hacking and spriting on the date that I joined PC. Since then, I was yearning for this moment. Along with Deviation here, I present to you the newest hack that we're making together, Beryl! Well, without any further ado, let's move on to what my friend and co-owner has to say: Right then, let’s keep this simple. I am Deviation, or better known as Banjora Marxvile. I am a bored, pessimistic hacker nowadays, due to... Certain things. Me and Nik will work hard for this, and we will spend ages making this as best as we can, so the least you can do is enjoy this hack, and please, do not steal. This hack is what we are doing to keep us entertained, hopefully push us, and we are doing it for nothing, just to keep you, and us amused to stretch our minds and talents. We will work hard for this, and we hope you enjoy this, and any future plans that we have, be it like a Co-Ownership like now, or any individual hacks.

Recently, two Pokémon-specialized professors came into town. It is obvious that they are siblings, most likely twins, as they are almost alike. They started it all. They got me into Pokémon, the awe of battle, the satisfaction of adventure and all. So, one day, a shipment of 'trainer packs' arrived. Now, it was the time for the young people of our town to become pokémon trainers! Oh how I longed that moment! I even set the clock earlier so that I could be on the lab in time!" "...but the critical day had passed. Full of excitement, I walked towards the lab, while mom was cheering up on me away from the house front door. The lab had that smell of septic liquid. it looked more like a hospital. there, I saw some people in white robes and glasses, some reading books, others fixing a machine, and there was that one guy with spiky hair that was eating a sandwich. He was Prof. Nohj, but his brother was supposed to be there, too, along with other people, and more importantly, there were no pokéballs around!" - Munch munch...looking for something, lad? - I, uh, I came here for the trainer recruiting day, and... - Oh, flippety flippet. You're one day late, lad. - I-I'm sorry? but the announcement said that it was for today! - It was re-ordered for a day earlier, order from the government. Besides, my bro had to leave today for an errand, too, so it suited him as well. Don't you ever watch TV, lad? -... "This was anguish. I slowly walked home with my face almost on the ground. As I walked in, I heard two voices yelling <<Surprise!>>" - Uncle Stephan! - Haw haw, is that really you? my how much you've grown up! I can't even hug you properly now! - Uncle, are you for real? - Sure am! that long trip on the east was exhausting, but so much fun! And wait until you see the gifts that I bear for you! "...as you can see, the tide can turn. If you want to find out about the rest, I suggest that you play along with me! Good luck!" http://i50.*.com/ioi4wh.png Features ■ Catch over 250 completely new fakemon ■ No more HMs!

Your hack sounds awesome, story sounds good, and the novel style makes it much more captivating. Your features sound promising, and the Fakemon sound exciting, as the one in the screenshot is well sprited. Only criticism I have for you is that the palette on the lighter grass (with the statues on it) looks odd with the rest of the grass.
|
This is looking GREAT, especially Zelatin! I wish you the best of luck Nika!
|
this sounds pretty cool. and the graphics look very promising. Zelatin's feet look familiar are they inspired by something?
|
This is looking great!
I still like Revolution I better... |
Seeing as Nik is offline at the moment (AND I'm Co-Owner) I will say thanks for all the support. And yes, the lighter grass does look kinda bright... Either me or Nik will change that for the beta. As well as a tile error (well, Pallette error) I just spotted. it is people like you that point out the tiny details that help us improve.

And no, all sprites are scratch. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Quote:

The last line is SO true. |
I love the intro! It doesn't tell much about the plot, but it's very well written. Great job on making the characters' personalities show through in their speech! Always nice to see well-developed characters in hacks. ;p
Can't wait to see more! Good luck~ |
So excited for this and revolution :) Very much good luck
|
Lovin' the load screen NiKa :D
I like the sound of a number of the features you're going to be implementing because reading minds is a fun past time. The character was majorly shut down by the professor :P Anyway, there's not much I can say at this point, but both of you have a habit of making things look awesome. I await to play your awesome XD |
I like how he has quotes like they do on the back of game / DVD cases. It got me interested.. Lmao.
|
A complete fakemon-dex huh? well that can be interesting, especially if you imagination prooves powerfull. Good luck to both of u.
PS. Deviation looks like you did get to be co-owner :P did u think i didn't remember XD |

Some Notes...
Once again, thanks for the attention. First update will take place on Monday. In the meantime, see you! |
http://i48.*.com/v6mbkl.png
the text there is not necessarily appealing to the eyes, i kinda have to strian to see it properly. http://i46.*.com/20tjlf6.png what are those wing things? |
-In the 5th screenshot the word 'West' should be capitalized.
-I like Zelatin's sprite, but I think you should give his feet and claws a black outline to help emphasize the sprites shape, and maybe emphasize the sharpness of its claws for a more realistic feel. -250 new fakemon would be cool, but don't bite off more than you can chew. Make sure you don't compromise mapping and scripting for fakemon!(although I have faith in you and Deviation that you guys can do it all! :) ) |
Ok nice hack, i just love fake pokes and the story looks great! good luck on this :)
|
Well NiKa this looks awesome but why are you doing another hack?
Revolution was great and now another awesome hack? You'll be really busy -.- |

Right, me and Nik decided to meld our ideas together. He wanted to do Bug Catcher's Life again, I had plans to restart Island Mystery. However, as both of us admired the others hack idea, we decided to merge them together for 2 reasons. 1. So we can share our ideas, as we loved them 2. To make it easier as 2 leaders seem better than 1. So, Beryl was born. 2 ideas melded to form one. Bear in mind, there are 2 owners of this. you cannot compliment just 1 without at least mentioning the other, as the ideas are from both. |

Those 'wings' are the indicators for the flying position. Throughout the hack there will be several of them, and not only in towns, and not in Pokecenters. Quote:
-the claws are supposed to be small, but i'll take the outline in consideration. The palette is limitating me, though. -Do you want to test my bite? : D It's okay, I can handle it. as well as spriting for other people, from time to time. Thanks for pointing those out, I appreciate it! Quote:

I have my own pace, and can always pick to work on revolution while Deviation has the hack, doing insertions. Besides, I'm already 'really busy'. I'm also a spriter for several other projects, remember? never stopped me. I'm flattered about the 'another awesome hack' part, though. D: Quote:
What Deviation said about the reasons why we merged our ideas together is just what the first post seems like: that's work of only one week. Just imagine what can be done in the next month =] By the way, I'd like to add something about 'ownership'. If you ever find tile or grammar/scripting errors, only blame me. D: |
Well, one word: Awesome.
The scripting looks pretty well. Good luck with this. Oh, and the palettes are awesome too. |

Glad to have you back in action! Quote:

Is that your only comment? |
That's great news, thank you. Good luck!

I'd have throw my hat into the alternate-coloured-text ring not that it matters any more. That greyish text is hard on the eyes and I'm not sure if I could stand to look at it for a prolonged period of time.
Is Zelatin your only choice of a starter? Its fine if it is, but two+ gives variety and choice :D Quote:
