It's been a while since I played LC... Although, I do remember that it happened with many Pokemon... there was no specification... |
On final version this game will have something like battle frontier?
I really like the hack but I love when a big challenge is waiting for me after all the game like on emerald or flora sky :3 |

I wanted to wait until April Fools was over so I could post this message.
I’ve come to a few decisions that most people probably won’t like. As much as I like rom hacking and working on LC, I need to start concentrating fully on the rest of my life. Ever since beginning rom hacking my personal life has been greatly affected, both physically and mentally. I try my best to keep a bright face for all my fans and to continue to work on stuff as much as possible, but it’s tough trying to keep up with everything all the time. You can only push yourself so far before you reach a point where you have to stop. I’ll be 22 years old in less than a month and I need to start moving forward with my life. I’ve worked on LC for almost 6 years, during which time I was not able to properly dedicate myself to anything else. My personal interests as well as studies started to decline to the point where days pass by and nothing is done. Eventually, I was unable to keep working on LC in the capacity I had done around 2009 when releasing Beta 2.1. For these last 3-4 years I’ve been stuck, not being able to fully work on LC but also not being able to move on and start anything else. I don’t know if you guys remember, but on the 10th of October 2010 at 10:10:10 I posted the Liquid Crystal Continuation Program. This was after I had the first signs that I couldn’t carry on without damaging myself further. So I tried to get out of it and released that. But, that didn’t help me get out of it. I was addicted to rom hacking and came back a month later after becoming bored. I wanted to finish LC by the end of 2010, and I could have done it if I worked as much as I did originally. Studies got in the way, I felt mentally and physically drained from all the projects I was involved in, and I lost motivation to hack most of the time. The amount that was accomplished during the last 4 years was not comparable to the progress from years before, and this made me sad every day that I was no longer the LaZ I used to be. Even during my free time, I was unable to settle down and get work done. I wasn’t even able to commit to small things like playing games and watching TV. I was just sitting around in limbo watching the days pass by being paralyzed by all my thoughts. Some days are better than others of course, where I’m able to work on LC for a short period while I have the energy and drive to do it. For these reasons I’ve decided to take a hiatus from rom hacking until further notice. This means that the development of LC will stop as well. I’ve spoken to the other members of the LC team (Zeikku, Jambo51, FIQ) and they are aware of my decision. My main focus needs to be university and building my life in game development. By this time next year I need to be making a living and surviving or I’ll end up on the streets with no job. Rest assured, people will still be able to download LC from Linkandzelda.com in it’s current form. You can still submit bugs in the same places as before, and the RHO Social page will continue to remain open. Why? Because I’ll be back at some point in the future, after I have a chance to stop thinking about LC for a while. In a few days time I'll request the thread to be closed. In addition to this I will be stopping pretty much all my other projects in some way or another, except for those related to game development: my core focus for my life. Lot's of people will be sad and will probably disagree with this outcome. But, this is my choice and my decision. I've reflected enough upon this and this is what I want to do. I hope people are considerate of my decision and I thank everyone who has worked with me over these years; it's been truly irreplaceable. Regards, Linkandzelda |
LaZ, I want to let you know that I wish you good luck in the future. I have showed a few of my non-hacker friends LC and they absolutly love it. You did a really great job. I understand completely why you are leaving, so make sure you hit them hard! I want to see you in the credits for a game withen a year:p.
I feel like I just got here and already I have seen so many hackers drop out. So, go get them and make sure you don't get left out on the street!!! I already look forward to the day you return (possibly with some secrets from Nintendo?:p). Good luck, Roger a.k.a. Karatekid552 |

i hope u will comeback someday
this hack is too awesome and it must be finished :) good luck ^^ |
I hardly know you, and I haven't contributed your progress on LC by cheering you up during the years. Yet, I wanted to say that you've taken the right step ahead, although it may have been difficult to do.
I've also pondered these same things as you have. I'm also turning 22 before the summer, and have quite a lot of university studies to take care of. Rom hacking is fun, but it has to be kept on the background, with all the other possible interests. I personally do most of my homework with a computer these days. So occasionally, I find myself a good excuse for not continuing them by starting to do rom hacking instead. Luckily, I have had enough time to catch up with my studies, even if I slacked off for a little while. But I do sympatize your feelings and if I was in your shoes, I'd do the same thing. Yet, I wouldn't feel "right" about doing this either.. You've got a lot of fans wanting see Liquid Crystal being complete one day. But if you view LC from another aspect, it's just a game anyway, all of these are. It's not like it's going to ruin anyone's life unless you finish it, so it's a way better to focus on putting everything in life back to piece for now. Personally, I have my own life going on pretty well so I can prioritisize hacking quite high. But more importantly, I make sure to keep in touch with my friends, do sports and get good grades at school, and have even decided to form a family in the near future for that matter. But, this is how life is. As cruel as it sounds, no one can just assume everything going in the way intended. I can't really symphatize with the fans liking Liquid Crystal, I've never been that much into playing hacks myself. But, I want you to know that I do feel bad about the fact that you to have to cancel the job without your own will to do it. But like you've also realized yourself, that's for the best for now. So, until you've gotten your life in a situation you don't have to worry about things such as "Is rom hacking going to this out of me?", you should just keep hacking away and focus on more important aspects in life. That's all just what I think though. But in any case, I wish you best of luck! Hopefully, you find the time to get back to the scene later. |
help me.Please.Somebody help me.I have no idea what to do with the clock!I haven't set the clock and I'm in orange island.I want to go back to Jhoto but the undersea express is due to arrive in "10 minutes".These 10 minutes don't pass without a clock!!I tried to turn it to real time clock but nothing happenned.Please don't tell me I have to start a new game.
|
Where are all locations of in game trades? I googled it with no luck.
Btw how do I get all of the starters withot gameshark? Am I able to get any towards the start of the game? |
This would probably be the last post I am going to made in Liquid Crystal. Ahh such beautiful days those were when I joined PokeCummunity and played Liquid crystal. Well I must say you have taken a very very Good decision and I wish you best of luck for your future man. Also my heartiest congrats to make this hack in whatever form it is in.
FINALLY HOPING TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN FUTURE !!! GOOD BYE DEAR LAZ.........:( |
I was just wondering, when you get tm25 thunder in liquid crystal, you get it during a thunderstorm from a person who looks like a bug catcher. But even when it is raining and there is a thunderstorm, i can't seem to find him. Can anyone help?
|
It's unfortunate that this wasn't an April joke but we all understand your reasons...
Mainly because it's in most cases same for every older hacker... May you be successful and once everything wears off, you may find some time to return to project we all love. All the best to you. First Mitchel, now LaZ, who else...? |
Well, LaZ, I don't know you too well, as I am fairly new, however, I do wish you good luck in you life, and I, and many others here, know that real life does override most other things, and, as I said, I wish you good luck in your life, and maybe one day, you might return to this lovely project of yours. :)
|
Can someone please explain me how I can fix the "wait 10 minutes" bug to get off Valencia island? I think I have to convert the clock into Real Time? If so how do I do that?
Thanks in advance. |
Real time clock can be accessed by:
Options-Emulator-Real time clock. |

Hey, wondering if anyone could help me here. When i go to speak to Blue in Cinnabar island, he doesn't warp back to his gym and just goes on about the rock looking funny. I have beaten all the other gym leaders and have no idea what to do next >.<
|
Good luck getting your stuff together, LaZ. Being in a similar situation, I can empathize. Just come back whenever it's good for you. We'll be waiting.
On another note, I suppose I'll just report bugs as normal. This happened when I traded for "Rocky" in Violet city. http://i808.photobucket.com/albums/zz2/DarkDurandal/onixtradefreeze.png |

Maybe I should point out LaZ's post from the previous page. It's a long one, so it's impossible for you to miss that. ---o0o--- Anyway, to LaZ, yeah, that's probably how life works to us pipz who are growing old and realizing the things which truly needs our attention. :\ Sad to see you go, but I'm looking forward to see you again. ^^ I may not post here frequently, unlike the others, but I also played your game and was expecting for it to be completed. Aw well. I wish you the best of luck with your life. :3 Bring back some snacks when you return, btw, else, I'll kill you. o,o :3 |
Where does 3.1 version ends? I assume in Leaf Bay City? :/
