New Team: Team Astra (Recruiting)
 
This is an application thread for Team Astra.

This thread is to try and get myself a team of people to help me create a ROM hack that I have been meaning to create, but unfortunately have very little knowledge of what to do. The ROM hack name is 'Pokemon Day' and a counterpart, 'Pokemon Night'. Thank you if you can help and you decide to join me on my quest. Also, if these hacks exceed an expectation I have created, this group may also create a bonus third game (Like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum). The name of this bonus game is in flux, but I was thinking along the lines of 'Pokemon Eclipse'. The hacks will only be put up on PokéCommunity after certain creation milestones have been reached. It will also be put up when fully complete.

LIST OF ROLES NEEDED:
Tiler - Can create Tilesets for use of Mappers.
Spriter - Can create good-quality sprites from scratch.
TitleEditor - Edits the title screen, 'nuff said.
Scripter - Does all the scripting for the game.
PokémonCreator - Creates all the info for the Pokémon. Egg group, EXP. group, attacks, etc.
Tester - Beta tests the game so far for anything that doesn't look Pokemon enough, and for errors.
TextEditor - Edits and creates all text and dialogue in game.
MusicEditor - Creates and edits the music in the game.
[IF YOU THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER ROLE, PLEASE LEAVE A REPLY TO THIS THREAD]

APPLICATION FORM:

Name: (Username to use for credits of game(s))
Skill(s): (Mapping, Scripting, Spriting, etc)
Main role:
Past experience: (What have you done before (proof is not needed, but that doesn't mean you can lie to me))
Contact Information: (E-mail or MSN only)
Time Zone: (So I know who can work when, and if I can get hold of someone)
Other: (Add anything else you feel is relevant here)

My own Application:
Name: AncientVampyr
Skill(s): Ideas, basic mapping(using A-Map)
Main role: Owner
Past Experience: Mucked around with A-Map and YAPE before, that's it.
Contact Information: [email protected], PM, VM.
Time Zone: GMT+0
Other: Nothing really...

Current Team!:
(Name) - (Role)
edwardo999/AncientVampyr - Owner
EmoAngel - Tester
Outkin - Mapper
Cosmotone8 - TrainerSpriter
pokemew12 - Designer
fatmanjumprope - Tester
mineox100 - UserbarMaker

Pending Members:
None

Current Projects!
Pokemon Day & Pokemon Night:
It is based around the primary antagonistic group (Team Astra (name is subject to change at any time)) trying to gain control of two legendary Pokemon. One controls the sun, while the other controls the moon. Said Pokemon get captured near end, world goes into chaos for a while (a few hours or so) before you release said legendaries from evil guys, and world is restored.(Story will continue from here, but the rest is optional. After you release the aforementioned legendaries, you can go on to defeat Elite Four and successfully 'complete' the game. Other stuff afterward will be bonus story, kinda llike Pokemon Black and White)
MOST POKEMON IN THIS HACK WILL BE FAKEMON! Maybe all of them, but I may include certain mascot Pokémon such as Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions obviously). Due to this, very few (maybe none) of the Fakémon will be an evo/pre-evo of an existing one.

Oh and before I forget, this is a hack of FireRed. Thanks for reading all of this!

Current Projects:
Pokemon Day & Pokemon Night

pokemew12, Outkin, welcome to the team!
So, any idea of what we do first? Well..... We all have to get a copy of FireRed at first, which I have already, and since you replied, I'm assuming you do. If you don't, PM me and I'll send you one.

Outkin March 7th, 2012 7:35 AM

I got a good source, don't worry ;)

Theres not too much we can do mappingwise unless you want to go with the basic tiles, so I guess we think and plot at the moment. Do you have any rough ideas we could expand upon? I can think of something, but I'll need a couple guidelines at the very least.

pokemew12 March 7th, 2012 11:17 AM

i got rom already. i had idea earlier today, but i forgot it >.>

2nd Reason: I'm bored and need something to do

Sincerely

pokemew12 March 8th, 2012 6:25 PM

we should probably define the story some more when enough people come in...

edwardo999 March 13th, 2012 9:12 AM

Added Cosmotone8, and also one other person who is ont on PokéCommunity, into the team. Also, just to clarify, you do not actually need a Secondary Role, that's why it's secondary.

So, pokemew12 and Outkin made an excellent point, we need more stuff for the plot at the moment. Obviously there is the whole legendary stuff I said above (Which I have name ideas for them now), but that's really all I had, we need stuff like why the evil people took legendaries, what they hope to achieve, and also possibly backstory, like where you come from and that sort of stuff.

A small idea for backstory that might work:
You come from Kanto. You moved over to this region with your father when the whole Team Rocket mess started (in Red/Blue). You have lived here ever since.

I know it's not much, but we can expand when people think of more. Also:
Unknown to everyone, Giovanni moved here when defeated by the player in Red/Blue, when he said he would disband Team Rocket. And he did. In fact he has become a Gym Leader over in the new region. Maybe also a police officer?

One more thing you may have guessed from the first idea:
You live with your father instead of your mother, you haven't seen your mother for years (before you moved).

Possible expansion on above: Your moher could be the leader of the evil team in this region! :O Or she could be a Gym Leader! :O

Please say if you like, if you don't like, or if you have another idea or expansion of an idea. :D

Finally, @pikakitten, How about making some tiles for us? If you could make some tiles for cottages with thatched roofs, that would be nice, I wanted to use that for a couple of small villages :D

pokemew12 March 15th, 2012 3:50 AM

sounds really good to me. any idea whet they can do?? cause im basically blank. my cheezey suckish ideas are: maybe they can bring the dead back to life, or open a portal to some other world that has super strong pokemon and its only mentioned in myths... idk... you people couold probably come up with better ideas than me >.>

Outkin March 15th, 2012 7:32 AM

I'm doing the dead plot in my hack, figures.
i'm still thinking of ideas myself, but we shouldn't spout the major stuff here, small ideas like this should be fine, but I think it would be unwise to write the whole plot down here.

edwardo999 March 15th, 2012 9:57 AM

I agree with Outkin, we need to talk more securely about stuff like plot. We'll send PM's to each other.
Also, spread the word to people you know on PokeCommunity about joining maybe? Especially Tilers and Scripters.

Outkin March 15th, 2012 11:34 AM

This will help a bit, check out what I got for us!

I have some plot ideas. Including some stuff with your Dad. I will try to Pm you all.

edwardo999 March 15th, 2012 2:55 PM

Thank for the PM Cosmotone, I liked the idea for the father.
Also, before mineox100 gets added to the list, can someone tell me what Flavor Text is? Am I just being dumb?
And another dumb thing: How do I add our banner into my sig?

Outkin March 15th, 2012 2:58 PM

I don't know about the flavor text, but all I did was copy/paste into my sig. Right (or control) click copy, sig, right click (Or control) paste, Mineox, do you have a copy of pokemon firered on your computer?

edwardo999 March 15th, 2012 3:10 PM

@Outkin, is there anyway to create skyscrapers using the standard tiles?
EDIT: Just remembered Saffron City skyscrapers, lol at me xD
Could you possibly create a city larger than Saffron surrounded by skyscrapers as the outer edges, and the only way in is through a 4 step wide gap in the top-right corner? The gap would be touching the right side. Leave the inside blank for now, I will explain the rest through PM another time, for now, I have to be off to bed, bye!

mineox100 March 15th, 2012 5:36 PM

@edwardo999
Flavor Text is the description of the Pokemon in the Pokedex.
If you don't like me doing that job, I could always map or edit those attacks.
I could also edit text in the maps. Like edit the what the town name that shows up in the Signposts.

Banner bbcode:

Just remove the *

@Outkin
I have a firered rom.

P.S. Totally do the dad idea it's pretty original since all the other games rarely involve your dad.

edwardo999 March 15th, 2012 10:56 PM

New role added to fit mineox100, PokedexInfoEditor! mineox100 is added to the team!
Now, just to clarify, Giovanni is a good guy in this game. I got told to write that because someone still thought he was a baddie and got confused, so that's just to clear any confusion/misunderstandings.
Also, thanks mineox100 on the banner, and how to put it in my sig =D

mineox100 March 16th, 2012 6:30 AM

Hi guys, if you want the banner to link to this thread use this:
[*URL=http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=7085843][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tImxy.png[/IMG*][/URL]
Remove the two *

edwardo999 March 16th, 2012 9:23 AM

Wow, thanks again, mineox100, that's even better!
How about I make you our official BannerMaker? (I'll add it to roles if you say yes)

mineox100 March 16th, 2012 9:52 AM

Sure! I'll take the job!
But you got one crucial thing wrong. Those are userbars not banners -_-

edwardo999 March 16th, 2012 10:46 AM

Userbars, banners, same difference.
Role added! UserbarBannerMaker!
mineox100, Outkin and EmoAngel edited! mineox100 has the new role, and both have Tester as a secnodary role. I have decided that Tester is always a secondary role, so we actually have them focusing on the other role more. Sorry guys if you don't like! Also, EmoAngel has had Tester added as a secondary role.

mineox100 March 16th, 2012 11:34 AM

Actually, banners are much bigger than userbars...
I also PMed all of you guys the storyline I made. Check it out!

edwardo999 March 16th, 2012 12:19 PM

Sent you a PM mineox100 with slight changes to the Pre-Game Story, if it isn't a hassle could you forward it to the others?
And now a banner task for you:

Two banners, one saying Pokémon Day, one saying Pokémon Night. On Day banner, animates Black/White Solrock on Right, on Night banner, animated Black/White Lunatone on left.
Now this is where it gets tricky...(kinda)
I want the two banners to be made up of one image, yet still be seperate. So make some pokemonesque landscape twice the length of a banner and cut it in half, one half on one banner, one half on the other banner. Finally, could the Day banner look like it is dawn time in the background, while the Night banner looks like night time?
And finally, make the size of each banner the same length as the userbar you made, but twice as tall?
If you can do all this, then thanks massively =D

Imrathon, for the graphics thing, I've made you our offiacial TitleEditor, who creates the Title Screen for the hacks. =D Unfortunately, we need some more stuff first. D= You are also a Spriter.
You also have secondary role of TextEditor, unfortunately we can't really edit text or anything until we actually have some stuff down in game sorry.

EDIT: I have sat thinking about it for a while, and then remembered, we need a MusicEditor! Added it into the roles now.
Also, we really need a tiler, can anyone try to find someone who can tile and who would join?

mineox100 March 17th, 2012 4:39 PM

Hi guys I had some Fakemon ideas and liked them so much I drew a few of them :D
If any spriter in the team want to, sprite a fakemon out of the drawing, OK?


I'll be coming back with more in a few... hour/days!

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 3:39 AM

Right guys, I have now created a DeviantArt group for us!
Just search for 'Team-Astra' in groups.
If you want, when we get some more stuff made, we can put images up on it!
If you ask to join, ask to be a contributor, and PM me your dA name here on PokeCommunity. Thay way, I can kee track and not have random dA members asking for high positions. =D

Thanks. Just tell me what I have have to do, when I have to. I look at my email 2-3 times a day.

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 7:03 AM

If you want to be a spriter:
1. Make sure the pixels don't mash up.
2. Shading and Outline Shading
3. NEVER use Paint's colors. Make your own color.
4. Pokemon face at your Pokemon. Not at it's HP bar or the trainer.

Overall, your Fakemon needs improvement.
If those were your first, then it's OK.
Remember, practice!

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 7:35 AM

What mineox100 said, practice! If you get good enough, we can make you a spriter!
As for what to do. Nothing at the moment, we really need a tiler before we can make most of our maps. Parts of maps can be made, but not the entire thing.
The main map I want finished first is being done by Outkin atm, but again, we need custom tiles to actually finish it off. :/

Cosmotone8 March 18th, 2012 9:48 AM

What are we going to do about gym leaders? I could start sprites for them... I was thinking that the types would be along these lines, dont have to be in this order either.

Bug
Ice
Flying
Fire
Ground
Dark
Poison
Grass

Elite Four:
Water
Steel
Psychic
Ghost

Champion: Miscellaneous

Let me know what you guys think...

Outkin March 18th, 2012 9:51 AM

I like the dark, there has never been an offical dark type gym to date XD
Otherwise it looks varied enough....I don't forsee any problems ^_^

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 10:26 AM

Grass type at the end sounds weird...
How about this:

Bug
Ice
Flying
Fire
Grass
Dark
Poison
Ground

Cool! You could be spriter!
The head looks out of place though.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 10:51 AM

=O WE HAVE A SPRITE! YAY!
One thing for the sprite, make the head a tiny bit smaller.
Also, good Pokémon sounding name for it =D
Now then, Cosmotone, once that sprite has a smaller head, put it on devaintART and into our group!

As for the Gym Leaders, there could be many different ideas, and we need to think about other stuff than the types of them first.
Examples:
What if..... there were more or less than 8 gyms?
What if..... there were gyms with dual-types?
What if..... there were gyms with more than one leader?
What if..... there were gyms that included stuff other than battling?
There could be many different ideas to make this different form your normal Pokémon game, t really make this hack stand out, and to make a name for ourselves. =D

Cosmotone8 March 18th, 2012 10:54 AM

I don't have a dA, and I'm too lazy to make one. Could someone do it for me?

refep March 18th, 2012 10:57 AM

What about a physcic type gym? Plus, What if you transfer some of hoenns Pokemon into fire red? Like adding Lotad or Swablu into the hack? Could be interesting.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 10:58 AM

kk, I'll put it up for you. I'll make sure it says 'Made by Cosmotone8' in the desription. =D

EDIT:
Put up on devaintART, said it was made by you, Cosmotone8. =D
Also, refep, I'm still debating whether we are going to have any Pokémon made by Nintendo in this game. And if we are, it would be certain mascots like Pikachu or Eevee, not Pokémon like Lotad and Swablu.

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 10:59 AM

What's your email? I can make one for you!

EDIT: Ninja'd or should I say... NINJASK'd!

These ideas are amazing. The fourth doesn't appeal to me but the first and second ideas are really good. The second one has been done before, however.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 11:09 AM

Thanks to mineox100's comment:

Times I've ninjask'd (ninja'd) people: 1

I feel so happy =D

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 11:28 AM

Sure, you're welcome...

Everyone! Here is the current Pokedex:
Code:

1. Shrubroo    | Grass
2. Kangaplant  | Grass/Fighting
3. Punchatree  | Grass/Fighting
4. Burnor      | Fire
5. Mindburn    | Fire/Psychic
6. Ignpsychic  | Fire/Psychic
7. Salawater  | Water
8. Aquamander  | Water
9. Darkamander | Water/Dark


Comments are NEEDED!

Cosmotone8 March 18th, 2012 11:34 AM

Keep all the regular gym rules, but we could do more double battle gyms. Also, what would I do for the sprites? VS Sprite, Trainer sprite or both?

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 11:44 AM

I forgot if Pokemon Fire Red support VS sprites, but trainer sprites are needed.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 12:12 PM

I don't know what VS Sprites are... :/
Also, remember, the Pokédex so far has just placeholder names.
Also, the types are still up for vote, but that typing has the most votes so far. In fact, one more vote for it and it will definitely be that typing.

Sprites for Gym Leaders and such will wait a little bit longer. I try to do things in order to make sure it is not forgotten, at the moment, me and Outkin aree working on the starting town map. To finish, we need custom tiles......

Right, that's it. I'm gonna try and make some tiles (and most likely fail)

pokemew12 March 18th, 2012 12:49 PM

i can hand draw some fakemon and post them on DA

Outkin March 18th, 2012 1:34 PM

Okay, sorry for late response, I don't like the idea of more then one gym leader in a gym unless it was a duel battle, or if they all had one pokemon and battled you one by one, but otherwise I don't like....everything else is fine imo. Pokedex names will work I think, but I'm not to good with names.

Also refep, the hoenn pokemon are still in the game, it's just a matter of selecting an area for them to appear, for future reference.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 1:39 PM

pokemew12, go ahead. Bare in mind, that everything on our dA group is just ideas, and may not be used. Though quite a lot probably will.

And Outkin, battling multiple Gym Leaders one by one isn't a bad idea......
And definitely, we will have double gym battle somewhere. Maybe all battles in that gym will be double battles? And maybe it will be dual-type? So one trainer has one type, and the other trainer has the other?

EDIT: Also, the typing for the starters has been decided. It is the typing that is used in the placeholder pokedex up above.

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 1:48 PM

Does anyone agree on the Placeholder Pokedex's naming?
If you do, then that will be made the official names.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 2:00 PM

mineox100, we can't agree on them until we have designs for them. The placeholder grass one is for a kangaroo, when we might end up having a chameleon, or a panda. We don't know what happens until we have designs.

Talking of which, I like the idea of a Panda. Eats bamboo a lot, so we could implement that in the design, and they could easily be turned into a fighting type (look at the kung fu panda films).

pokemew12 March 18th, 2012 2:22 PM

i know some/most of them wont be used. im not gonna force you people. im just saying my random doddles may come in handy.

mineox100 March 18th, 2012 2:24 PM

I got the design right here:

Meet the beta Shrubroo!

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 2:37 PM

mineox100, no offence, but it really seems like you're trying to rush this hack along. Hacks take TIME. We haven't decided on anything to do with the starters except their types. Even if that Pokémon you've drawn does get used, it may not be the starter, and it may not be called Shrubroo. At the moment we need to take things one at a time, and we also need to do them slowly and carefully. Also, we can't do much, as we really need a scripter and a tiler before our hack can actually be able to progress enough to be played. Even then it willl take a while. I'm sorry mineox100, but you're just going to have to slow down, and consult everyone else. However, you can draw however many Pokémon you want, call them whatever you want, and put them up on dA, but bear in mind, not all will get used, and some of them may have name changes if used in game.

I am sincerely sorry if any of what I said offends you, I have no intention of that whatsoever.

Also, remember, the Pokédex so far has just placeholder names.
Also, the types are still up for vote, but that typing has the most votes so far. In fact, one more vote for it and it will definitely be that typing.

Sprites for Gym Leaders and such will wait a little bit longer. I try to do things in order to make sure it is not forgotten, at the moment, me and Outkin aree working on the starting town map. To finish, we need custom tiles......

Right, that's it. I'm gonna try and make some tiles (and most likely fail)

Look at Mineox's avatar to see a vs. sprite, or the top thing in my sig.

Aren't there some tiles that are floating out there? I know absolutely nothing about tiling so I apologize in advance if this is a really stupid question.

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 4:17 PM

Cosmotone8, in that case, we'll create VS spirtes, just in case FireRed uses them, as i can't remember. If they don't, then we could always get our scripter (when we get one) to add a little script that will call the animation for it, meaning we have added something else extra into FireRed.
Also, There are always tiles floating around somewhere. However, they were made to suit someone else's needs/tastes, so to have your own tiles, you need to make them (hence why we really need a tiler.....)
Finally, just as an announcement, Outkin is finishing off what we can make of the starting town map using the standard tiles now. Four buildings are missing from the map, as they will need custom tiles to create.

pokemew12 March 18th, 2012 5:29 PM

i think fire red only uses VS sprites in the elite 4 battles. i cant think of a time other than that...

edwardo999 March 18th, 2012 11:01 PM

Cosmotone8, just thought, what about the Gym Leader's OW Sprite? We'll need that. =D

refep March 19th, 2012 1:06 AM

Here's a thought. How about we change the role pokedexinfoeditor to Pokemon editor? Like he will not only change the flavour text but also the names,stats, ev's and types? Plus the names sound cool! How about we add a good number of ice types since the original games have a very small number of them?

pokemew12 March 19th, 2012 3:22 AM

then what do i do??? we already have a good mapper...

edwardo999 March 19th, 2012 7:23 AM

I'm really sorry guys, but this Team is gonna have to be smaller, meaning some people will have to leave. It is becoming too crowded for me to handle and give everyone a task (yes I know there is not many people, but I am not good at handling things).
Therefore, I have decided to cut down and give everyone only one or two roles, and certain rles can only be filled by one or two people at a time.

Team decided so far:
edwardo999 - Owner
EmoAngel - Tester
Outkin - Mapper
Cosmotone8 - TrainerSpriter

If any of the thers not here want to stay in the Team, you're gonna have to rethink roles and other things about why you should stay. Also, just so you know, the role Tester can take MANY people, so if you want to stay, but can't get a main role, just be a tester, and we'll still accept some input from you.
And finally, the owner role means all final decisions will be made by me. However, I will probably put most of them out on votes so you can all vote instead. The first post is gonna be edited to accommodate role changes and other stuff.
Again, sorry guys.....

Cosmotone8 March 19th, 2012 11:02 AM

Ok then, I guess its just regular sprites for the Gym Leaders. I need a map though, so I can knida tell what each Gym Leader should be like and what Pokemon they have. Also, should someone return? Meaning like Caitlin in Unova? Maybe Crasher Wake for the e4 or something like that.

edwardo999 March 19th, 2012 12:38 PM

On a note related to my above post, there is now no thinker role. Comments and ideas will be accepted from all members, even testers.

Cosmotone8,good idea about bringing someone back. I'm not sure about who, as this is meant to be around the same time as the Gold/Silver games in Johto, meaning we cannot have any Johto Gym Leaders, Johto-version Kanto Gym Leaders, or Johto-version Elite Four.

Just looked at a timeline. The events of Gen IV are parallel to events of Gen II, meaning we can't have any leaders that appear in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

We could always have someone from RSE, or from BW. =D And if they are from BW, they could either be the same as they are, or be younger in our game =D
If from RSE, would have to be same, as only two years difference. (RSE is parallel to Gen I)

You could even have a relative of a person "return". Maybe Steven could get a younger sibling? Or maybe Lance?

edwardo999 March 19th, 2012 2:00 PM

Again, good idea Cosmo. =D
If Lance had a younger brother as Gym/E4, his type would be Ice, just to try and surpass Lance. =D

Cosmotone8 March 20th, 2012 10:39 AM

That can be done. But I think he should be an Elite Four, since Lance is so strong.

I have another surprise too. Here are two more fakemon. I NEED OPINIONS TO MAKE MY WORK BETTER. These are going to be the last ones until this hack is more developed.

Tile
 
1 Attachment(s)
Got you a custom door. Feel free to critisize I don't make tiles very often.
Still working on the roof and such.
Also, can I have credit in your hack for the tiles I make? I don't work for nothing you know.

edwardo999 March 20th, 2012 3:14 PM

Don't worry pikakitten, all work by people, no matter how small, will be recognised and acknowledged, and put in credits. =D

pokemew12 March 20th, 2012 6:42 PM

itsa dolphin =D and yes i will be staying with you guys as a concept artist something or other XD anyway, are there any specific features we should have on those two legendaries?? ( i know its early to ask this, but i have nothing else to do besides keep sketching all of those 4 legged things >.>)

edwardo999 March 20th, 2012 10:59 PM

I had an idea for the two legendaries, just animal based off and colours, the rest was gonna be up to you.
I'll send you a PM so as not to reveal to much to the public =D

Cosmotone8 March 21st, 2012 12:24 PM

Forward me that PM. I might be able to make another sprite. :0

pokemew12 March 21st, 2012 1:23 PM

@cosmotone8 we can both make a few prototypes, because this is a major part, we should have a few different models to choose from/combine. me with concept art, you with sprites or concept art if you prefer =D

Cosmotone8 March 21st, 2012 3:58 PM

I usually am better off just making sprites for other peoples fakemon. I dont usually do the concept art.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

edwardo999 March 21st, 2012 11:12 PM

Put many ideas together for the legendaries, don't just be hapy with one and stick with it (like we will probably do for most fakemon). The legendaries play an important role in the story (as you all now), and I want them to be perfect. =D

Beta Tester
 
Name: fatmanjumprope
Skill(s): Looking to become a beta tester but I can also do SOME map work if needed.
Main role: beta tester
Past experience: I won't lie and say I've beta tested 20 different hacks. However I have tested a few as of now unknown hacks for close friends/members.
Contact Information: [email protected] or here. Also have skype if you want anything else later on.
Time Zone: US Central (Usually on late nights 12am-8am or so)
Other: I pay very close attention to detail when testing out maps. I'll start in one corner and work my way to the other testing not only the map, but also the scripts. I can't promise I'll catch every single little bug, but I can promise you that I will try my hardest to catch the vast majority of them. I can do simple beta testing which consists of map checks, and script checks as well as advance tests that include spelling, and grammar tests.

edwardo999 March 22nd, 2012 8:56 AM

fatmanjumprope (your name makes me lol), welcome to Team Astra, and thanks for becoming a Beta Tester. Bear in mind, we have nothing for you to beta test at the moment, and it may take a while for anything properly playable to appear, as we have no scripter yet. :/ But once we have finally got one and started to work on producing the story, I'll PM you. =D

SarumiSama, you said one of your skills is scripting. Would you like to be our scripter?

Cosmotone8 March 22nd, 2012 3:17 PM

Glad to see this progression. ^_^ In the mean time I am going to sprite a random Gym Leaders.

edwardo999 March 23rd, 2012 1:52 AM

Cosmo, I have a question for you.... or anyone who can answer it....
How do you get them words in your sig, where more text pops up if you hover over it?

Cosmotone8 March 23rd, 2012 10:41 AM

slightly off topic but here it goes. To do that hover thing, you use the title feature.
To get this:
This text is normal.

You do this:
[title*=This text hides secrets!] This text is normal. Nothing unusual.[*/title]

Asterisk are in place to keep it from actually working. But do you see how it works? Put the hover text after the equal sign and just use the title tag for the rest

edwardo999 March 23rd, 2012 11:33 AM

Thanks Cosmo =D
Will definitely use later =D

Cosmotone8 March 23rd, 2012 1:15 PM

I have two Gym Leader Sprites here. The first is your Mom and Eighth Gym Leader who uses the Poison type. I wasnt sure what to name her, so feel free to do so if you'd like. I named the second Blossom. She is the fifth leader of the region (regular sprite coming soon).

http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=7868&pictureid=63755

edwardo999 March 23rd, 2012 2:23 PM

Awesome work Cosmo =D
But don't decide which Gyms they are. You say that Mum is 8th, when I was thinking more of 4th.

Also, an idea. Unlike the Nintendo games, all of our Gym Leaders will have a story behind them. They may tell you that story, you may hear it from someone else, or you may have to piece it together, but it is always there.
Easy example of this would be your mother. She left you when you were a kid, and you didn't know she had become a Gym Leader until just before you face her.

Finally, some of constructive criticism:
Blossom's hand is too straight, it needs to be slightly rounder.
A piece of Blossom's hair has the end cut off (right side, on a spike)
Blossom's hair again, bottom left, needs to be straightened out a bit.
Mother's ear(?) (VS sprite) is way off balance. It would normally not be seen (be in her hair)
Mother's face (Trainer sprite) needs some work, specifically the eyes. Look at Nintendo Gym Leaders and other Trainers for how to get the eyes to work properly.

Hope that helped =D

Cosmotone8 March 23rd, 2012 3:02 PM

Okay, I will fix those.
Also, a question. If you look on the second page of the thread, it goes through the gym leader order with a couple posts. Here was the order we were discussing:
Bug
Ice
Flying
Fire
Grass
Ground
Dark
Poison

My idea was to have the Mom be the final gym leader and the Poison Leader. Are we going to use that? Whatever you want is fine, but just thought I should point out what I was basing it off of.

EDIT: Behold, the new updates!

edwardo999 March 24th, 2012 2:29 AM

Cosmo, that Gym Leader order wasn't decided on, that was just discussion.
Your Mum could still be the poison-type, but it probably won't be the last Gym.
Also, I'm still thinking about the possibility of more than 8 Gyms.
Also, the updates are better than the old ones, good job =D

Cosmotone8 March 24th, 2012 3:41 AM

I dont really care what you do, whatever you want is fine.

edwardo999 March 24th, 2012 9:49 AM

I think Mum is probably gonna be the fourth or fifth Gym Leader. It's not too early, not too late, and it the story would be just getting dramatic.

refep March 24th, 2012 11:47 AM

Hey, I was booted out but can I rejoin?

edwardo999 March 24th, 2012 2:47 PM

refep, I'm sorry for decreasing te team size.
If you have a skill urgently needed, that no-one else in the team has, and you are good at it, then feel free to fill out another application.

Got a LOT of sprites done tonight. Critisism is appreciated, as long as it is constructive. Also, these are going to be my last sprites for a while, until we get more progression. There names are Vulcan, Storm and Blossom. (Fire, Flying, and Grass types) although they are subject to change. (Can be recolored too if needed to match a different type)

edwardo999 March 25th, 2012 2:21 AM

A bit of constructive criticism for you:
Blossom's eye (Trainer Sprite), looks a bit weird again, like the Mum's eyes did. A small edit, perhaps?
Storm's legs. Closer one has to much of a bend on the back, and the further one looks like it just disappears. Another small edit?

Apart from what I said above, they are really good =D I'm really glad you're in the team Cosmo =D
