The fourth gen sprites should do. I would like the colors to be purple and blue [preferably dark but any shade will do]. And one on each side with Jirachi in the middle would be cool.

Nice alpha. However, I have a few bugs to report.

Not good, not bad. I'll give you a higher rating if you had fewer grammar/spelling errors and bugs.

Not good, not bad. I'll give you a higher rating if you had fewer grammar/spelling errors and bugs.

Wow, you've got a keen eye. You'd make a great beta tester. Thanks for pointing those errors out. All of them are fixed now.

Update:
Like I said last week I'm on vacation! But if you remember correctly I said that progress would not stop and I'm proud to announce that I've been true to my word! This is one of the biggest updates so far [with the total 12 screenshots] so I'll hop right into it.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/PokennectRadio.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/pokennectmap.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/Pokennect1.png
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/PokennectTime.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/Pokennect2.png

Above you see one of my favorite features. The Pokennect! [I told you it was functional] As you can see I've scrapped the whole "Check Mystery Gift" option on the Pokennect and decided to go with "Radio" instead. The Radio station is located in Fiesta Town [the center point of Zinnos] which means you'll get service any and everywhere in Zinnos. Even on the the three Mystery Gift only islands [Scrap, Golem, & Noel]. There are four radio stations. I'll explain them each in the spoiler below. If you don't care skip the spoiler!

Spoiler:

PokeMarch: Zinnos - Hosted by Dj Autumn, PokeMarch: Zinnos plays songs that any Trainer could march to. They're upbeat, jaunty tracks such as the Route 1 theme. This station cycles through 9 different songs.

Soothing Sounds - Hosted by Dj Nocturnal, Soothing Sounds plays smooth, soft songs. It's almost the polar opposite of PokeMarch: Zinnos and plays songs like the SS Anne theme. This station cycles through 5 different songs and is my personal favorite station.

Scenes! - Hosted by the Scenes Team, Scenes! plays town/city music. It's pretty basic really but a nice station to listen to if you don't like a city's default theme. This station cycles through 12 different songs.

Variety Show - Hosted by Crazy Curtis and Lovely Ciara, The Variety Show plays any and every song. It may repeat songs played by other stations but will also play songs unique to that particular station, such as the Water Labrynth theme. This is Zinnos largest station and plays 16 different songs.


The song that plays on each station is chosen at random so it is entirely possible that a station will play the same song twice in a row. It's also possible that a station may play the exact same song that you are currently listening to. I may or may not put into place some checks that will solve this minor issue. On to the next point:

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/dive2.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/dive-1.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/water.png

These are screenshots from Ruby Lake, the route that follows Emerald Town. These screenshots are mainly here to show that I've already begun progressing pass Emerald Town and, subsequently, the first Alpha. There is a Fisherman who gives you an Old Rod and explains diving to you. In Shattered Dreams, Diving will be done similarly to RSE. First things first though, you can only dive from the center point of the dark water. Don't ask me why, it's just cleaner than allowing you to dive from any point in the dark water. Underatwer you will use your Surf sprite. Just like in RSE, under water everything is blue. Also, like RSE, there is seaweed growing underwater that house wild Pokemon. I've done the best I can emulating the Dive feature from RSE. Due to not having Surf yet, you will not be able to Dive underwater in the first Beta, however the Dive system is already incorporated and will be present in future releases. Now for Part 3 of this update:

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/beacon3.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/beacon.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/beacon2.pnghttp://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/beacongym.png

These are screenshots from Beacon City and Beacon City Gym. Beacon City is analogous to Mirroredge City from the original Pokemon Requiem. It just looks WAY better [credit to WesleyFG for the street tiles] this time around. The police station has been erradicated in favor of the EctoTeam HQ. This means you'll be able to play the minigame Who You Gonna Call? that I announced back in April. Also Beacon Tower [also found in the orignal Pokemon Requiem] makes a reappearance. This time however it is not under seige by Team Rocket nor is it a Trainer Tower. It's a business, similar to Silph Co. and Devon Corp. The Beacon Company focuses on making items that help Trainers. They are the creators of the Pokennect. That said, Beacon Tower is where you'll get your Pokennect.

Conclusion:
I hope you all enjoyed this update. In my opinion it's been long overdue. As I've maintained for the last few weeks, I don't have a specific release date in mind for Beta 1 but I think it's only going to cover 3/8 Gyms. Also regarding the Pokennect. I'm debating on whether or not I should add a "Phone" feature. It would run similarly to the Phone Booths from Shiny Gold and Flora Sky. The only reason I'm not too gung-ho about it is because it would truly serve no major purpose. Trainer Rematches are already in the game so I don't know what I'd use the Phone for. Eh, we'll see about that. Also after running the World Map App, the Radio will shut off. Don't ask why, it just will.
The next update will come in about a week and a half [or so] and will showcase Shell Harbor City and Stargate Cave [which is the location of the first Rocket Event].

Darkerm July 17th, 2011 3:47 PM

Great to see you are working.
BTW, Will you add new tiles or just go with Default? New tiles would be good.
Keep up the good work.

Well, I like the hack default tiles the way it is now.
It's great. FR tiles are always awesome, y'know.

Chimchar 9 July 17th, 2011 5:01 PM

The updates look fantastic! I think everyone including me can see that you've been working extremely hard on this hack. This could be a tough decision for everyone when the HOTY is available.

Anyway, good luck. ;)

Skyy July 18th, 2011 2:35 PM

The new updates are amazing. I really like the pokennect feature.

LapeFruitz July 18th, 2011 4:23 PM

Wohohoooow! Damn! This hack is amazing, dude, you gotta finish this thing!

Sorry mate, I can't agree with you:(. Well yea it better than others but you know it boring to play with same thing. There are a lot of hack based on FR. so, I think at least Tree tiles and some pallet should be changed to make it non boring hack.
I really don't like FR trees.

Hahaha HoTY? I doubt it. There are definitely some better hacks out there [namely Lilac]. Thanks for the support though.

Sorry, the tiles are not changing. I like the way the game looks right now and so the look won't change.

Minor Update

I'm going to scrap the Who You Gonna Call? minigame. I have it scripted and everything but I REALLY don't like the way it is right now. If I were to redo it, it would delay the beta so I decided I'm going to just scrap the whole thing. We'll see about putting in a different mini-game other than Tasty's To Go.

That's all for now, I have to get back to working on this. Next major update to come this weekend,

Skyy July 20th, 2011 3:25 AM

Do you mind if i make my own custom support bar? Or at least try to lol. If not, thats fine. Ill just use one that qaz made ( :

I don't think I've ever directly communicated to you, Quilava's Master--which is a shame because I've always appreciated and admired your diligent work on Fire Red hacks. Obviously, this hack will impress me, and others of course. Specifically, the scripting looks very solid, as well as the graphical side of the game. Keep up the good work!

drew6464 July 20th, 2011 11:35 AM

Quilava, I'm too bored =_= so I put together a new Userbar for you.

I love it! If you don't mind, can you make one with the girl too.

Minor Update

The other day I stated that I scrapped the Who You Gonna Call? sidequest. I lied. I found some unexpected down time and managed to rescript it. It's so much better! I'll explain it further in the next update, which should be next week.

Chimchar 9 July 21st, 2011 6:01 PM

Wow, great! It sounds exciting! I can't wait for next week then. :)
Good luck! (;

Lugiaz Soul July 21st, 2011 10:41 PM

Will be playing this game once beta comes out. You should be happy :D

AshtonTS July 22nd, 2011 10:18 AM

This hack just keeps getting better and better! The Pokennect thing is totally awesome. Looking forward to the beta!

Skyy July 22nd, 2011 9:25 PM

Really excited to hear about who you gonna call mini game so i deff cant wait to hear the next updates ( :

zumba July 23rd, 2011 5:34 AM

Can you tell me exactly what happened and what emulator you're using via PM. Thanks.


POLL
I'm working as fast as I can. So far I am proud to say that there are NO bugs, errors [grammatical or otherwise] or oddities to report in the current working build [besides the DNS issue that's in the first post]. Update #10 will come by the end of this week, [I'm shooting for Thursday]. In beta news, I still don't have a release date though I'm aiming for late August/Early September. It will have only 3 gyms and covers the first 8/17cities and towns of the region. As long as everything goes according to plan the beta will be out before everyone starts school. But the main reason I'm doing this minor update is because I have a question. On page 4 everyone saw the whole thing with Frostbite claiming I stole his content or whatever and I ended up changing the cave battlebacks. Well today I made it to a cave [Coal Tunnel] and decided the platform for the caves didn't look right, so I recolored them. But I don't know which one is better:

Option 1
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/newcaves.png

-or-

Option 2
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/option1.png

Leave a comment below and tell me which platform color I should stick to. I may or may not change the brown rim around the edge of the platform depending on whether or not I find a suitable color. Let me know what you think!

Maxpeter July 25th, 2011 12:50 PM

Hi! I joined because I love hacked games. Anyway, could you tell me please, how long i it now, and how long do you plan to make it? So I mean now how long does it take to get to this version's end and how long do you plan to get to the last version's end. (playtime ;) )
(It would be awesome if all pokemon would be able to be caught :) I hated the original ones because I could have only one starter and there were differences between the two versions. So I suggest letting us catching all of them. For example for the rare pokemons a safari zoor thing like that :) )

LapeFruitz July 25th, 2011 1:55 PM

go with the second floor thingy-ma-jiggy

Darkerm July 25th, 2011 2:00 PM

Option 2 is better than Option 1.
So for me Option 2.

CosmosStrike July 25th, 2011 4:52 PM

This hack is truly amazing! I might be able to make a userbar if you want. Oh and i'd go with option 2, it looks nicer imo.

Rakaia July 25th, 2011 5:29 PM

This hack is great, i wish you would use the fourth generation to, only because i want to play with glaceon and leafeon, but hey the game is still great.

Maxpeter July 25th, 2011 11:38 PM

I guess option 2 is better. I hope we can give certain ideas that you may be able to use.
Oh and the at the first or at the second gym we should get the fly. It always annoyed me that I had to wait for it for too long.
I think you should give us the running shoes at the beginning too :)
I hope these ideas will be useful!

Snakebyte July 26th, 2011 12:58 AM

This is going to sound like a weird request, but could I see the first one with a different Pokemon? I like it for the Zubat... but I might only like it for the Zubat. It makes a nice contrast with the shadow, but I'm curious how it'd look for something that isn't flying.

Quilava's Master July 26th, 2011 8:10 AM

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/4snakebyte.png
Here ya go Snakebyte. Here's one of a non-flying pokemon.

Snakebyte July 26th, 2011 10:29 AM

Hm. I still like the first one. :P

Skyy July 26th, 2011 5:28 PM

I like the second one ( : looks more cave-ish lol.

01 July 26th, 2011 5:41 PM

I rather prefer the first one.The second's rocks are too dark and blend with the ground.It's kinda hard to distinguish it.

zumba July 27th, 2011 3:10 PM

Hmmm... i kinda like the second one better. Maybe if u took the color of the ground from option one and colored the rocks in option two that color, it might look good. Idk tho. Just a suggestion im throwin out there.

AshtonTS July 27th, 2011 9:21 PM

I think the second background looks better. It's darker, so it looks more like the floor of an actual cave. (and I like dark things lol)

Of course all of the Pokemon will be available to capture. Most rares via RTC Events, others in the Safari Zone.

Sorry only Gen III Pokemon, I would love to add 4th gen's but there isn't any room for them.

Oh and the at the first or at the second gym we should get the fly. It always annoyed me that I had to wait for it for too long.
I think you should give us the running shoes at the beginning too :)
I hope these ideas will be useful!

You get the Running Shoes before you can even leave your home town. Regarding Fly, there's already a point in the story in which you get it, and unfortunately it isn't until after the 4th Gym.

Right now the rocks are the same color in both screenshots. They look better in the first option due to the contrast.

It's actually the exact same color as the new cave tiles.

Update:

Alright guys I have big news. I've finally decided on a Beta release date! The beta will be released September 5, 2011! I'm only one town away from finishing the beta [story-wise] actually. The reason I put the release for so far off is so that I have time to work on mini-games, sidequest, and improving the overall look of the game. I'm also in need of some testers. The beta testers picked will have had to be on PC for more than 6 months and are active members of the board. If you want to apply send me a PM. The beta will be sent to approved testers the week of August 27th.
So yeah, that's the big news regarding the beta. In other news I've inserted new cave tiles, credit to Kyledove for the tiles and Manipulation for the idea [since Sienna uses the same tiles]. Also I have another battle background to show off. It's the exact same as the other indoor tiles except for in a different palette. So far there are three colors, Blue for the Gym Leaders, Purple for the Gym Trainers, and Green as a default. Since FR has so many different palettes for the indoor battles expect to see some other variations including Grey and Red.
The rest of the screenshots are pretty self explanatory. With quite a few relating to the Who You Gonna Call? mini-game. To save space [and avoid boring the players who don't care about the mini-game] I've put the details relating to the Mini-game in spoiler tags. If you don't care about the mini game, skip the spoiler.
Spoiler:

The leader of the Ecto-Team is a guy named Zane, who is Sabrina's [from Kanto] uncle. After every mission you have to talk to him to release the spirit. If you seal a spirit you cannot seal another one until you've freed the one you currently have sealed. It should be noted that Pokemon Spirits cannot be captured [credit to JPAN for the routine] and may or may not be underleveled.

Finally, there's a screenshot from an event in Echo Tunnel. This is where all of your rivals finally meet each other. This event is pretty pivotal to the secondary plot in Shattered Dreams.
Enough talking though, here are the screenshots.

Conclusion
Keep voting on the cave floors. Also keep commenting and telling me what you'd like to see in this beta, bearing in mind that this is only a three gym beta and the story element is pretty much completed. I have a few ideas I want to implement but I gotta make sure that they're possible and I credit the proper people. There will only be two more updates before the release of the beta.

Darkerm July 29th, 2011 4:44 PM

Those Cave tiles are awesome :D. It would be great if you change inside tiles like house ans others.
Good luck

Superjub July 29th, 2011 5:17 PM

I kinda looked over this hack before, and I so regret it now. The features are amazing, and I'll definitely play it when the beta comes out. Plus, the plot involves Jirachi, which is a major plus. XD The Ghostbusters-style mini-quest seems interesting. :) Also, I like that you're implementing dive. I've always loved that HM. XD

Also, I prefer the first battle background/option 1. It just looks more visually pleasing imo, although I do like the dark floor of option 2, although I think it just blends in just too much. :\

I'm happy whenever anyone plays my hack, whether it's one person or 937!

Thanks! I love the Pokennect too! The beta will not disappoint. That's a promise.

Just for you, I'll even include a few screenshots of the minigame in action!

Yup. I'm trying my best to make this hack stand out.

Can you tell me exactly what happened and what emulator you're using via PM. Thanks.


POLL
I'm working as fast as I can. So far I am proud to say that there are NO bugs, errors [grammatical or otherwise] or oddities to report in the current working build [besides the DNS issue that's in the first post]. Update #10 will come by the end of this week, [I'm shooting for Thursday]. In beta news, I still don't have a release date though I'm aiming for late August/Early September. It will have only 3 gyms and covers the first 8/17cities and towns of the region. As long as everything goes according to plan the beta will be out before everyone starts school. But the main reason I'm doing this minor update is because I have a question. On page 4 everyone saw the whole thing with Frostbite claiming I stole his content or whatever and I ended up changing the cave battlebacks. Well today I made it to a cave [Coal Tunnel] and decided the platform for the caves didn't look right, so I recolored them. But I don't know which one is better:

Option 1
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/newcaves.png

-or-

Option 2
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/Quilavas-Master/option1.png

Leave a comment below and tell me which platform color I should stick to. I may or may not change the brown rim around the edge of the platform depending on whether or not I find a suitable color. Let me know what you think!

Make the brown rim on option 2 be a darker version of the existing shade used for the floor.

Also, the female version coming up.

If you need gym leaders, PLEASE PM me. I demand practice.

NarutoActor August 1st, 2011 9:42 PM

Nooo.... I wanted all my city names to be unique; now you gone and used Beacon city. Altough your a copy cat (Just kidding); you have some nice screen shots on your hands. The mapping, on the other hand, seems a little too square for my taste.I like the attempts, and success at changing some of the core graphics. Good Luck~NarutoActor

pixiefroggy August 2nd, 2011 12:42 PM

I like the ghostbuster mini-game idea! Ghostbusters x Pokemon= :) Caves.... Hmmm... I don't like caves... I can't see very well and I feel trapped. :( So, I choose the lighter colored one!

Skyy August 2nd, 2011 2:27 PM

loooove the mini game screens and idea! ( : can not wait for the beta although its far away. everything lools unique and beautiful.

Skyy August 9th, 2011 8:17 AM

Should just edit your post so the admins dont bug you and since your not the OP then your not invincible to double posting.

Yup, there will be an Mystery Gift Event to obtain an item that will allow you to catch Entei in the first beta. Since the beta only covers the first arc of the story, so far he is the only one. Beta 2 is more story oriented so that's when more legendaries will be available.

Announcement
I've made huge progress on the hack with-in the last week. In fact Beta 1 is done! Right now I'm polishing it up. Beta Testers will get their copy of the hack in their PM boxes by next Friday. The beta will be out at midnight on September 5th.

The beta ends after meeting "a special person" at the top of Ouija Temple.
You will not be able to head north of Beacon City until Beta 2. There are 4 RTC Events planned. The Eggcellent Togepi starts September 5th and lasts until October 1st.

Also I stated that there would be 2 more updates preceeding the Beta release. I've already written up both updates [36 screenshots in all] but I'm thinking about cancelling them to build anticipation. However I'd like to know what you all think? Let me know if you want an update or if you want to wait until the beta to find out about these two new features.

I will probably take a few weeks off before starting work on Beta 2 but I'll still be lurking around the forums.

Hermione Granger August 20th, 2011 12:44 PM

I think there should be at least one update prier to the release

Skyy August 20th, 2011 11:31 PM

i agree with K2. deff. another update. 36 screenies is a lot, you should use them so they dont go to waste ( :

AshtonTS September 6th, 2011 4:31 PM

Hey bro, what happened to the Sept. 5 release date?

I did that and it didnt work with vba. I used lunar ips to patch everything up and it still doesn't work.

Try downloading your ROM from a different site. If you want to know a good site PM me.

Skyy October 5th, 2011 3:37 PM

Did i miss something? Lol. Is the beta out?

Blazing Flare October 5th, 2011 10:29 PM

Interesting hack, I haven't played yet but the screenies and trainer designs caught my eye, especially the female.
Also found interesting that the starters were picked from different
gens and they are all pure types (a big rarity nowadays)
so in the end the hack manages to interestingly mix novelty and
old school features, which is nice.

GengarFreak October 10th, 2011 7:11 PM

I just started the game seems interesting! although in the first town when you enter the grassy area i spoke to the guy and he just repeated the words qaf quaf or something and it froze -.-!

Haru October 10th, 2011 8:30 PM

Looks good to me :D i will want to try this. i like the name of the reigion :D

A very good work man! I really like your hacking style. I like that you connect the basic style of fire red, with the new things from DPP.
Expecialy the world map...it's very nice :)

Thanks, hopefully by this time next week, you'd have had a chance to experience it first hand.

Thank you! I'm a fan of your style as well!

Update:
I don't even know where to begin. Sorry for not releasing the Beta as promised. In reality I all but forgot about this when college started back up. But I have good news for those who liked this: Shattered Dreams is back in full effect. Unlike my previous hacks, I didn't delete this when I stopped working on it. This means I have all the work done and all I have to do is one last bug test before putting out the beta.
I know you're wondering, when will that be? And "How can we believe you'll put it out this time?". The answer is simple: It'll be out in a couple days. Definitely before the 22nd [as that is when the first Mystery Gift is intended to start]. But just to make sure people know I'm really still working on this, I've included screenshots! But first some notes:
  • The "Who You Gonna Call" mini-game has been omitted from the Beta. Hopefully it'll be in the next release.
  • This beta is more of an "Open-Beta". I am currently going through the hack now but I'm sure I'll miss things. I want everyone who plays to post bugs and issue, no matter how minor.
  • The beta will end on the 3rd floor of Ouija Temple. You will not meet the "Special Person" in this hack. Sorry.
  • Every house in Ouija Town is locked. They're simply not done.
  • There will be 3 Mystery Gifts in this beta. What are they? You'll see soon.
  • All the battlegrounds have been modified. Mainly recolored.
Now on to the screenshots. Credit to Pokepal17 and Manipulation for the Bank concept, as well as Kyledove and WesleyFG for, among other things, the Bank & ATM tiles.

Conclusion:
Sorry for the delay, but better later than never! Leave some feedback please. I'd like to know what people would like to see in future releases and opinion on some of the ideas. If you have any Mystery Gift ideas, let me know; they'll probably make it into the next release. All in all: Expect a beta in a couple days.

TCB November 16th, 2011 10:49 PM

Oh yes, you're back! Great to see this back up and running, and hope you can try to put in as much commitment to your hack as you can. This will be a nice Thanksgiving present for myself!

Everything in those screenshots look fantastic, and I'm liking what and how these Mystery Gifts are...anyway, I'm eager to play this again!

esperance November 17th, 2011 4:20 PM

Oh, this update looks wonderful!

I especially like the whole mining concept. Really great!

Funny that nobody pointed this out yet. Yes, the region map is based on a flip map of Brazil, but I've never been to Brazil [nor am I Brazillian] so the region isn't like Brazil in anyway other than the shape.

News:
New release will be here tonight or tomorrow morning.

Quilava's Master November 19th, 2011 9:01 AM

Beta Release
 
And there you have it. The beta is out. Remember to patch it to a clean Fire Red rom. It goes up to the 3rd floor of Ouija Temple, That means 3 gyms.
Here are a few things to note:
  • The "Who You Gonna Call" mini-game has been omitted from the Beta. Hopefully it'll be in the next release.
  • This beta is more of an "Open-Beta". I am currently going through the hack now but I'm sure I'll miss things. I want everyone who plays to post bugs and issue, no matter how minor.
  • The beta will end on the 3rd floor of Ouija Temple. You will not meet the "Special Person" in this hack. Sorry.
  • Every house in Ouija Town is locked. They're simply not done.
  • There will be 3 Mystery Gifts in this beta. What are they? You'll see soon.
  • All the battlegrounds have been changed.

I've packaged a .docx document that shows all the pokemon with new abilities, the move changes and the new tm list. These things may change as I come up with more ideas. Enjoy the hack.

PS: The Eggcellent Togepi event it scheduled to begin on the 22nd and will last until the end of the month. It'll be followed by another event which I will announce later. Remember to post any bugs [with screenshots].

Alignment November 20th, 2011 4:41 PM

Cool, I played your hack back when you came out with the first alpha. Judging by the screenshots it looks like it's improved quite drastically. I look forward to playing this beta, hopefully I'll be looking forward to play the next once I'm done.

As asked I will edit this post once I've finished playing with any possible oddities or bugs.

Quilava's Master November 22nd, 2011 5:38 AM

Just a reminder, the beta is out! You can download it on the first page. Another note, today marks the beginning of the first Mystery Gift Event: The Eggcellent Togepi. Not only do you get a Togepi with a unique and battle-ready moveset, but you also get the Lucky Egg [the only place to get it in-game without cheating]. The Mystery Gift man can be found in Emerald Town's Pokemon Center from now until the end of the month.

soupercell November 22nd, 2011 11:20 AM

It's a shame that there isn't much of a fuss about the new beta, it's an awesome game ^^

I love the new rematching feature, it's a quick way for me to grind my pokes hehe. And I'm going to assume that the new movesets is similar to 5th generation's learnsets.

Since you took out the Bullet Seed TM but gave it a buff, are you going to distribute Bullet Seed to more pokemon? In 3rd gen, only Sunflora could learn Bullet seed through level

Anyway, i finished the beta, don't mean to advertise but here's me getting the Mystery Gift and showing off my team :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDqADOM6bg

marcc5m November 22nd, 2011 11:20 AM

Just got mah Togepi.
Anyway the only two criticisms I can give are:
1/ Make the sprites smaller. Try Chaos Rush's sprites, or Wesley FG's. They're the same sprites, but around the size of their gen 3 sprites.
2/ Stop making Trainers who walk around I keep thinking they're just normal NPCs :(

I found some bugs too, I'll post screens later. Gotta grind my Togepi first ;)

1. The sprites were all resized by me a long time ago, I don't really plan on changing them, as all of the sprite work is already done.

2. haha this made me chuckle.

Announcement
In a few weeks [right around Christmas time] I will be releasing an update. The update will contain the next Mystery Gift, as well as expand Ouija Tower to the 5th floor, where you meet the special person. Also it will feature a full Ouija Town [complete with unlocked houses], bug fixes and will complete the primary story arc. I'm also willing to make changes if you guys don't mind adding some more feedback. Also this new update will mark the beginning of the Winter Season which means the snowy tiles will take effect. This also means large bodies of water will freeze over, allowing you to slide across the smaller ponds, to reach new areas.
Note: Because the water is now made of ice, surfing is all but disabled during the winter time.

Visual Update coming soon.

Besides Advance map, advance text, Yape, Ape, and unlz?
How do you guys script?
Do you use pksvui_pkg2-1-1

Uh, extremely off-topic but check the Q&A in the first post, I've already answered that question.

Trust me, they really need changed. They are far too big and it's the only thing really that lets this hack down.

Can't wait for the skiing.

Just started paying through beta 1 enjoyable so far and I don't find using Squirtle hard what so ever and so far haven't run into anything unusual so pretty good so far.

SonicBlazePlatinum November 27th, 2011 4:25 PM

How many badges can you get in the Beta? I seen a video of the Togepi event and someone had their Pokemon around Level 30, so I'm guessing somewhere around three gym badges.

Lucifer-san November 27th, 2011 6:15 PM

Just got the 1st badge and haven't noticed anything worth mentioning except the walking trainers who I dodge most of the time but other than that its been fun so far with squirtle.
EDIT:Their is a slight bug where you can walk threw the 2nd gyms last main eletric gate.

i say play up to the part were you can pick your pokemon and if the pokemon are still the ones from the original fire red than, repatchusing a clean rom. i had the same problem some time ago *when i patched beta 1* and i realized it was my rom was not working with it. so try getting a new rom and patch that.




thnks for the update i havnt been on this site due to finals so i just saw the new updated beta 2. dang i wish i came to check this a while bck so i could have goten the togipe event *its already dec 1 :( * . anyway how would i be able 2 get the Mystery Gifts? ive never tried to activate them though the emulator. i cant wait for my semester to finish so i have time and i can finally be able to play this :D

I just finished playing the beta release and I have to congratulate you, QM, for making a really fun hack. I remember playing the original version you released quite a while ago and I can tell that this release is far more polished and professional. I also liked how my three rivals played off each other during the showdown in the cave, it was pretty funny and showed how good their group dynamic could be in the future. I think your resized Pokemon sprites look great, but some of your resized trainers seem to be misshapen (e.g the Lass' head).

When I was playing through it, I found a few bugs that should be ironed out before your next release since they're easy to fix.
Spoiler:

I can walk through all of the walls on the left hand side of the gym and then pass straight through the last barrier without having to face a single trainer.


While it is only one or two pixels wide, I can easily tell that the top right corner of the bank isn't on grass like the rest of it. Fix the tile :P


For some reason there is a clone of me standing in the gatehouse on top of the cycling bridge. He doesn't have a script assigned to him or anything...


These two guys start to walk around after you receive your item.


Speech is overrunning the textbox. There were also numerous times when the red arrow was partially cut off, but I didn't bother taking photos of them D:


I lol'd.

This isn't really a bug or anything, but if you're going to have constantly changing weather it would be best to have people with weather-related dialogue change with it. I think there was a guy in the first time who differed according to the weather, but this girl certainly doesn't. :P


Anyway, good work with this mate! I still have my eager eye on this thread :)

The Mystery Gift's are timed events that happen automatically in the ROM during pre-determined times. The next one happens on Christmas day; Details later.

Fixed them all. Small oversights. The last one isn't too much of a glitch, it happens because the flag for weather [which is what causes people to act differently during the weather] is cleared on the last revolution of that weather cycle, but the weather doesn't stop until the next revolution. I'll fix that one eventually.

I've run into a minor problem with the seasons. The palettes screw up when you leave use the menu until you enter a house [which refreshes the map] and I don't know how to fix it =/ Any ideas would help.

Quick Announcement:
The Togepi event is over, sorry if you missed it but there's is more to come! The next event takes place on Christmas day. It's a one day event that only last's until midnight that night. It's called Golem For The Spring. It's when you get the Golem Ticket which will allow you to travel to Golem Island this Spring. Golem Island is definitely worth it. It's full of tough/rare Pokemon and houses a powerful secret ;).
The second event this month is another one day event entitled Ho-ho Showdown. Details on that will come as the date approaches. That's another worthwhile event.

sweet cant wait sounds cool. il be sure to play this soon & not miss anymore events :D

ChibiVamp December 4th, 2011 5:57 AM

I've been playing for a few days now and one thing really bugs me is the shading on some of the sprites. the first one I noticed it with is my Quilava. I know it sounds like nit picking, but the shading on it's back just looks off. You could always have used the pallet from the RSE or FrLg games as opposed to just removing some colors. I'm going to try and devamp the Quilava of the 4th gen to try show what I mean and post it along with the one in the game.

Other than that, it's a very good hack and quite fun to play. One of the best I've seen so far. Keep up the good work as both me and my wife are waiting for the next installment. :)

Lucario Rift December 4th, 2011 8:53 AM

Hey awesome game just finished the alpha of your game. I cnt wait 4 the update. By the way, when the next update comes will I be able 2 keep my save data frm the alpha version? And which is your latest release also? Thanx in advance.

SilverAbsol December 4th, 2011 9:02 AM

Really enjoying this game, the beta is brilliant so far. Can't wait for the story to continue so I can climb the tower and see what terror awaits me.

I had to read the entire thread to figue out that I couldn't go any further, I spent a good hour trying to ascend the tower in Oujia Town, haha!

Mikachu December 4th, 2011 6:30 PM

At the beginning of the game for the Alpha when ever i exit my house all i get is a black screen but the music continues playing, and ive re-patched the game any ideas on what to do?
