Pokémon: Lost Magic
200 Years ago the last Wizard of Onne passed away, since that day the land has been void of magic. Time has passed and the ruins of the past, magic world are mostly forgotten. Mostly. Since the magic disappeared a shift in power started, with the rich quickly demonstrating their grip over the poorer communities. A divide across the nation occurred, the Eastern Islands of Onne being the hotspot for money, industry and technology whilst the Western Valleys suffered in terrible poverty, managing to survive on the land and from leaked resources. The Eastern Islands, the self proclaimed 'Golden Isles', excelled in everything over the centuries of freedom from magic, however their research led them to a worrying find. Deep in an underwater cavern an altar was found, and with it a fascinating relic of the past. --- "What?... Where... Where am I?" The young boy/girl asked him/herself. The trees around were tall and dense, much different to the urban environment he/she was used to. Stumbling around the woodland he/she noticed a protruding rock rising up from the forest, the only landmark that spanned above the treeline, so headed in that direction. Reaching the foot of the mountain a peculiar thing happened, a stairway appeared in the rock face, leading right to the top...

Sounds good, at least something id like to play :)
|
Looks very promising..Do you need any help?
|
Looks like you put a lot of thought into your story. I hope that you can work it all out. Good Luck!
|
The story sounds interesting and judging by the screenshots, you seem to be able to follow it nicely. Keep up the good work !
Looking forward to testing this out. |

Sup SS, remember me? Your old hacking buddy from I don't remember when.
Glad to see you're starting on a hack again. Love the story and the features are very interesting. Best of luck with anything that comes your way. Looks promising like many others have said already. And if you ever need help of any sort, I would gladly volunteer to assist you. :) |

Wow, looking good! :) The story looks interesting as well as the screenies, but I don't like that you used a rombase. :/
And what happened to Sanctuary, your old hack? I still remember it. :( |
Foraging, Fishing, Alchemy and Force
and mystery dungeon style choice of starter. Just awesome :) |

Technically all I'm using from the ROM-Base is some tiles (trees and mountains, maybe something else...). These may get replaced with other tiles, and the all the main palettes have been edited from the ROM-Base to my liking :3 Quote:
---- Would anyone be really annoyed if there was no Pokédex in the game? I can't really see a point for having one, normally people force it into the games one way or another just for the sake of it ><. |

Also updated the main post with corrected Screenshots as well as updated the progress report. |
No comments eh? Oh well, update!
|
I totally love the mapping and tiles. Some of the best mapping I have seen this year. Keep up the good work!
|
Updates are looking great! :) Could you save your images as .png though? .jpg looks terrible. >_<
Just few critiques about the map though, there a two layers of mountain on one side of the town, but only one on the other. Above the bridge looks a bit empty, maybe you could fill it in? and the PC looks a bit off. :( Other than that, though, the mapping looks great! :D |

Haha certainly, the map especially looks such low quality o_o''. For the mountains it's meant to be a sharp drop so from the viewing angle you can only see one ledge, although in theory there is two. I agree about the area above the bridge! At the moment I've put some NPCs there to fill the gap. And the PC had door issues and needs a different 'corner' tile so it matches the floor :3 Thanks. I'll get on to fixing those issues and next time I do a runthrough I'll make sure to save .png. |
Looks very promising mate, I'd love to play this!

First off, the I like the title, it's unique, but not too wordy, and gives the reader a sense of what the hack is about. I like the attempt to make the thread more appealing with the reddish color, but I implore you to look into css, or other means to make a more creative thread. (Might as well go all the way). You also seem to have either gone off a rom base or inserted tiles. The only problem is, those tiles/rom bases have been a little over done. The point of tile insertion is to give the hack a unique feeling or accomplish something the old tiles couldn't do. Now on to the mapping, the roads have been done in a nice, natural way, while giving enough space to move/navigate for a good median between natural, and square style. Good luck on the hack, I hope it does well. If you have any questions of hacking, or of opinion; please feel free to contact me.

Some of the tiles are overused (maybe not so much now, but they are in plenty of older hacks). I will look in to finding a unique 'common' tree to replace the main one used in my tileset, possibly other mountain tiles too. Many other tiles (like the bridge) I'm very happy with and so they probably won't change. Although tiles are important in drawing people in I don't think they're an immediate necessity though, since if they over-write the originals exactly then the maps won't be messed up. Thank you for the compliments on my mapping, I really enjoy it so I'm glad they come across well. As to the CSS in my thread - once I have some banners or something I'm sure to change it and make the opening post more visually appealing. And I shall make sure to seek your opinion on future updates :3. |
Wow, this looks great. It's not everyday that we see a hacker with actual skills post something nice. Keep up the good work! :)
