Special event and career-exclusive Pokémon aren't listed, and the site itself has nothing else on it, but in case anyone might find it useful =P

Yeah you rock!

You know, I was making the map of your game I mean a whole picture. I stopped because of the graphics update.
But I think I might take back the job when version 3 will be out.

The Gym Leader Side-Career isn't actually available in Version 2 because you can't battle the final Gym Leader yet. Unfortunately I can't make any promises about how far it'll progress for V3, since I have so much else to do, but it will be started at the very least =) It was never intended to be a full-on Career like the main four, because it's essentially a mono-type challenge, which if I did that for the whole game would get pretty boring =P

With all do respect to you Avaramoon! This has to be one of thee best hacks I've played! :D can't wait till fully complete!!

LardassEd June 22nd, 2014 5:26 AM

Jesus christ does this game even have a map? I cant find it. I don't even know where to go sometimes, i just talk to everyone i can possible talk to. I even started to write down every location name and make my own hand made map just so i dont get lost anymore

I know it's annoying to play without a world-map, but it's actually extremely difficult to insert a new custom world map, or at least for me it is. I have tried really hard lots of times to do it but I just can't get the hold of it... so... I didn't want to give the player a world map at any point in the game because it's be useless, seeing as it's still the kanto map, and thought it would confuse people even more. Don't really know what else to say to this, lol =P

LardassEd June 22nd, 2014 8:31 AM

Alright, ignoring the navigation problems, i think you've done a pretty good job so far. I was really interested in how the career system would play out, and i think it gives this hack some replayability factor.

The only suggestion i have so far is to add a menu to keep track of the tasks you are doing at the moment, it's really hard to remember that you have to go deliver moomoo milk at baboobadaba town and go talk to some guy at another distant place, unless you're like me and you open a notepad and write that stuff down...

Also how much of this hack is still left to be made?

A menu that shows you what task you are doing to keep track of your missions believe me is something I thought of before and would really want to do, but that's even more difficult than the world map - it would involve ASM which is pretty much the most difficult aspect of hacking which I know nothing about, lol.
One time I did attempt a script that would be able to tell you that stuff, but with the amount of different choice branching with Alignments and Careers and everything having a different outcome I have enough on my plate trying to get all of that to work properly without interconnecting with each other already haha.


More than half the game is still to be made. =P

LardassEd June 22nd, 2014 9:56 AM

Oh by the way, where do i have to go after joining the seekers? i remember them giving me a mission to go do something about lord grey , where do i go to complete that?

Bulbadon June 22nd, 2014 11:01 AM

It's an outstanding hack. It's developing nicely, just needs more legendaries and in my opinion more storyline. Keep up the good work!

I have literally no idea what you mean by "more storyline"... the story is pretty prominent, there are whole cutscenes dedicated to story progression alone, or have I misunderstood what you meant =P
I don't want to include every single legendary, but there will be a few more than just the legendry dogs/birds =)

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but what I meant was in my opinion there should be more events because in some places the game doesn't guide you like during the 8th gym leader Troy. You can't find him anywhere when you are about to challenge him and as a Seeker when you find the Pokemon for Aries he gives you the Canal Ticket to Finagold Terrace, you are not told how to get there and what to do next and the map is a little bit complicated but I am sure this will be fixed in the next betas or what they are called. The events might even be in the game in finding the gym leader and the Finagold Terrace but I haven't found it but I just wanted to comment on what I think. Thanks.

Sorry if my message sounded really negatively-toned, I was in a hurry writing it so in trying to keep it short it came across a little blunt! I can kind of guess what you mean now about the navigation but then again a lot of that comes down to not having a custom world-map =( haha.
The Lethean Aqueduct is just south of Lethean City from Spring Stream if you surf downwards.
Also, the first post does point out that only 7 Gym Leaders are available to battle, so Troy's battle isn't available in Version 2 =P this is because after beating Troy you'll have the option to take on the Gym Leader side-career, which will involve a lot of scripting!

______________________________________________________________________


GENERAL UPDATE:


I won't be able to get to a computer for a few days after tomorrow so I thought I'd post this now!


After lots of thinking about it, I have decided that I will be releasing a new Version that will come BEFORE Version 3 - a "Version 2.5", if you will. It WILL NOT contain any more content than you can already play, but will only have graphical updates and glitch fixes.


The reason I've decided to do this is mainly because people keep reporting the same bugs, or reporting things that are not bugs that are yet to be added, despite whether I've written them in the first post... which has made me realise that I should have released a glitch fix patch a long time ago to avoid this happening (it's totally my own fault =P).


So the new release will just be a glitch-fixing patch (for what I was able to fix) and a small graphics update, but nothing more in terms of content. Any new gameplay content I've made since V2 will be blocked off so there are no spoilers =)


I'm also doing it for the fact that V3 will not be out for a LONG time. I decided that until I can edit the world-map into a custom one, Version 3 won't be released and there's really no point even continuing with the hack at all until I can get it done, since I didn't realise how many navigation problems it causes =( Hopefully, Version 2.5 will give you guys something more stable to play until then!


Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post lol =P,

No probs. And thanks I was stuck in the Finagold Terrace part and didn't quite read the introduction and yeah this is a great hack and has a lot of potential. Good luck!

Perhaps you should mock up a world map, to show how the towns and routes connect to each other - note that this need not be in the style of the in-game maps; it could be something as simple as labelled boxes and lines drawn in mspaint (or on the back of a napkin :P ). Now matter how crude, a map image in the OP would be a stopgap measure for people playing the hack who are in need of navigational aid.

That's a great idea, I think I will do that! Thanks for suggesting this. =)

larssoners June 23rd, 2014 11:57 AM

So... I am doing the Crime Career, I complete almost all the gyms got one more which is in Ekaruba Island, Lost the Ancient Orb in the Cave that didn't do anything... and beaten Aries and Absol escaped but can't find it.... am now just going around don't know what I can do... so is that all the progress so far or am I just stuck? :D

Best hack so far though :)

The gym in Ekaruba Island isn't unlocked in this version. And if you put the Ancient Orb into the thing it will unlock a big area to the right, where you can surf through and find a cave called the Cretaceous Cave where you will find rare Pokemon and the Absol is to the north of Verlume Villas near the grass.

Oh thank you! :D I will check it out, which rare pokemon? I caught like all available Pokemon's in there :L

Yellowspaghetti June 23rd, 2014 3:40 PM

So far it's a pretty cool game. It's just the level jumps are insane when you go to the Verlume Villa place. I'm at level 20, and the level are at like 30. I really don't feel like grinding when I'm doing a regular play through. Plus, I can't find really a good place to grind with levels higher than 14. Also, pokemon variety isn't really that great. The only water pokemon that I've seen to catch are magikarp, barboach, and wooper. The starter pokemon is decent, but i really wish it got an evolution earlier. It has great coverage, but i don't know if it has stab or not. Other than that, the game runs very smoothly and the areas have pretty good designs. I also really like the concept of having actual jobs, thats really cool.
