  • Ok, I am so lost. I got my team;

    Lv. 11 Surskit
    Lv. 12 Houndour
    Lv. 6 Larvitar
    Lv. 11 Bulbsaur
    Lv. 11 Charmander

    The point is, I only went to Professor Birch to get the letter, went to that cave, but I can't go to that gym, or anywhere else. And that upper route with grass, it has no Pokemon.

    Hinkage isn't in the cave. He's at the Lake of Serenity. That's also why you can't go to the gym yet. :P

  • New screenshots!


    Here's some new screenshots for the soon-coming release of Alpha 1.8, mostly from the new major city, Deadwood.
    Spoiler:


    Does anyone have general (non-major) suggestions as to what they'd like me to add before I release it?

  • Critical Update


    I'm sorry to say it, but the flash drive containing all of the project files for the up-and-coming Alpha 1.8/1.9 were lost when the end broke off of the drive. I'm going to have to start all over again.

    I am sincerely sorry and apologize for the inconvenience.

    I'm thinking of releasing a bug patch first though.

    Right now I've planned this hack on paper all the way up to beta 1.5. I've also finished the map of Kohto on paper. I wish I could scan it so I could release it, but no scanner, sorry. :/

    This hack is very interesting. But there is one thing I have to know, after the gym is beaten I can't do anything. Is there another trigger to this story?Where are you supposed to go?

    P.S. Don't own a DS anymore. Forget about my sig I haven't been on here in a couple years.
    Actually my Last Visit was: April 13th, 2010 at 10:32 AM

    EDIT...

    Just realized that you said earlier that it only goes up to the 1st Gym. Good game so far.

  • Yeah, if you guys didn't know already, the bug fix version Alpha 1.62 is out and ready. All of the bugs in Alpha 1.6 are FIXED. However, DO NOT download Alpha 1.61. It was originally going to be the official bug patch, but I left a hole while repairing the gym battle script, which causes a movement reference to 0x000000 in the ROM. Obviously, not good.


    By the way, I've also started another ROM hack (of Ruby as well) that is to be the counterpart to Dragonstone. Thoughts and ideas are welcome.

    This looks really awesome, and I am so sorry you lost all of your work. I can not even begin to imagine how frustrating that must have been. But this looks really incredible and I hope you can manage to continue because I look forward to seeing this completed. Good work so far!!

  • Update


    Alpha 1.63 has been released due to a Null Reference Exception discovered in the Magma Encounter/Fisherman Script in Alpha 1.62.

    If any of you find any future errors, please tell me!

  • Hello from the year 2024!

    I'm posting after nearly ten years to announce the release of a commemorative, doubly-archived final edition of my beloved fan hack, the very first video game I ever made. The opening post has been completely overhauled with full explanations about this, and new screenshots abound better than ever before. Naturally, I'd like to give you all one last shot to see it before it floats down for good.

    I put a lot of effort into playtesting this game again both to collect those screenshots and for old time's sake. Needless to say, this is a very sentimental moment for me. Thanks for reading, and enjoy my game.
