(Some FRLG songs' main tracks have additional parts than RBY ones, e.g, Route 3, Vermilion City and Cinnabar Island, so they still sound different when "demade" into 8-bit style)

There was somebody who managed to import the RBY music into FireRed so I was thinking of asking for their help when the project was done but it's not a priority. The FRLG demake songs sounds like a cool idea also, but again I alone dont have the ability to do something like that.

Hack looks great! Can't wait to try it.

I always wanted a Kanto remake in the style of GSC! Awesome work. How close are you now to finishing all the mapping?

KrustyKong December 4th, 2016 7:04 AM

sorry for the lack of updates on this everyone. The last few months have been hard with the combination of sadness and laziness killing all my motivation to work.

I'd say about 60% of the towns are completely done. Working in the direction one would play the game, I just finished Celadon and the Rocket Game Corner and am moving on to Lavender. I got discouraged because one of the houses being linked to one in Celadon so if anyone knows of a fix let me know.

CelticsPhan December 7th, 2016 1:36 PM

One of the houses linked to Celadon? You don't mean the Underground Path that leads to Celadon right? Or is it the one of the buildings next to Erika's gym?

Just an update to show this thing's not dead! just finished the last floor of Silph Co. One of the few maps I had to take some edits to, due to there not being equivalent tiles from RBY to GSC and the original map looking kinda weird anyway. I may do an edit down the line to make the table hexagonal like in the original, but for now here it is

I like the looks of this, keep up the good work Krusty.

lilbluedemon January 7th, 2017 2:27 PM

You going to consider changed the OWs, and battle BGs?

Or, evern going as far as changing the HP bars in battle to match GSC?
That would make this hack even more top-notch.

Roger Davis January 7th, 2017 5:24 PM

Glad to see this isn't dead! Also I'm pretty sure the OP said they would change the overworlds and battle hud and everything, but that maps and pokemon sprites were first.

KrustyKong January 10th, 2017 7:37 PM

safari zone has been completed! added a little more decorations in the last house since the orignal was a little barren. also, going to update the OP again to include that I do plan on changing the battle backgrounds and HP bars.

LOL its kinda cute!

Roger Davis January 14th, 2017 3:53 PM

Seeing the Safari Zone in GSC style gets me excited! Will you be including things like decapitalization as well? Though nearly everything was in capital letters in the original games, I do feel a lot of people prefer when the game isn't randomly shouting. Have you given thought to which you'll do yet? Also there is a method of making cut bushes only have to be cut once instead of each time the map changed, it was a nifty thing in Pokemon Throwback and I was wondering if you'd be making tweaks like that here.

The decap patch is already installed, although I think I may include an optional re-cap patch once this is finished. I think it'll add to the classic UI.
As for the Throwback styled cut bushes, I'd totally be willing to add that in. I don't that's a thing anyone would miss.

KrustyKong January 30th, 2017 5:06 PM

back with an update! Seafoam Island is all mapped now, save for the waterfall and current tiles. I can see the latter forming a bit of a problem since there's no GSC equivalent, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.

This week's update! I changed the tiles a little bit for Pokemon Mansion. Not only did I change the color of the walls and floor to make it resemble FRLG more, i also tweaked some of the wall sprites to make them "flow" better. to see what i mean, compare the corners of the Gym and the Mansion. I was thinking of going back and adding this upgrade to some other maps that use this tileset. What do you guys think?

Are you planing switch FRLG Overworld sprites for GBC one?

Looks really nice! I would like for you to use the old pillars instead of the cardboard boxes though, since you're willing to use custom tileset colors.

This is what the tileset wouldve translated to in GSC. I never really saw them as strictly cardboard boxes, but they do only get used that way in gen 2. I created a mockup of your suggestion and I suppose it does resemble the FRLG map more, so I'll go ahead and change them.

KrustyKong February 15th, 2017 5:47 PM

This here's a special update only not really. February marks the first anniversary of the start of this hack! I am probably the most excited for this hack and can't wait til it's done. There are only a handful of areas left before I can move on to the next stage. This also means I'm getting closer to the inevitable roadblock I'm going to hit once I reach more advanced hacking topics.
This week's update is the Power Plant along with a re-tiled Pokemon Tower. The Tower has been causing a lot of uncertainty for me. Since there is really no comparable area in Gen 2, I had no guidelines for this area. I'm not really a fan of the blue border blocks you see in the screenshot, but I wanted to stay true to the game's original palette. Initially I used FRLG's palette which included purple and green, but I couldn't reasonably say that it fit with the entire rest of the game.

I'm happy to see this project's still going.

KrustyKong February 27th, 2017 6:18 PM

Happy Pokémon Day everybody! We're nearing the last few stages of the mapping. The only two areas left are the Pokemon League and Cerulean cave (plus an underground path i forgot about)

Absolutely love what you're doining! Keep it up!

Any news for this month? Can't wait to play this hack! Btw, how about the scriptings?

no, nothing really. I've been slackin but I can probably do the Pokemon League tomorrow. When the last map is finished, I can work on the scripts but only stuff like rival encounters and door switches. Probably the most complicated will be the Pokemon Center healing animation and the SS Anne departure.
