Hey metapod,
After one year of hacking I've to say you did an excellent job on Ash Gray!
I´d lie if I say I didn't try this hack. You did an excellent (outstanding) job on your scripting, but two things bothers me through.
Since I'm a criticizer on graphics and mapping aswell, You should learn how to create/combine your own tilesets and use these to attract people with, how I call it, "eye-candy"!
Also I experienced a lack on mapping, mainly I guess this has something to do with mapping based on the Anime, so please don´t take this to personal!
Shortly said, you did an excellent job on this project, but you´ve still a long road ahead of you! You´re growing on the side of rom-hacking, and you're not grown out yet! Continue your hacking career!
Good luck!
