Latest release: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=10435225&postcount=22​

Story

You are finally fifteen years old! Ready to start your journey in the Triton region, the acclaimed Pokémon Professor (and astronomer), Professor Almond, who just moved in your town, makes you run an errand; this errand, because of Team Eternal, is the key to demise not only for Triton, but the whole world! Earth soon becomes the target of the cosmos and is bombarded with a flurry of destructive meteors and asteroids; but is this all because of some change in universal space nature, or is there some deeper meaning to it? And above all, can a hero stop this catastrophe and save the world from annialation?

Travel through the multi-terrain Triton region, meet long lasting companions, battle with Pokémon from many different regions, stop Team Eternal's ultimate plan, and save the entire world from ultimate destruction in Pokémon Celestial Version!​

    All the battle mechanics have been updated to the standards of Generation VIII, which includes the Physical/Special/Status split, Fairy type and the new type chart, new abilities and attacks (like the Burn Up [move] and Corrosion [ability]) and items.

The story is solid, have you decided upon a difficulty curve or will you include scaling to the player wishes in the settings?

Also hope to see what the region looks like soon. Wish you the best.

I dig the storyline! Do you have plans of switching up the tileset? Personally, I feel like Fire Red graphics tend to be generic if used as it is.

You haven't yet disclosed about the starters for this hack, huh? I wonder what choices you are going to give to us, the hack looks promising nonetheless. Wish you luck with the project! : )

For Beta v0.0 and v1.0, standard Pokémon difficulty; for future beta's, most likely choosable difficulty options.

Absolutely! Though I won't deviate from the actual FireRed style, there will be updated tiles, like so: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=10372636&postcount=7

The Hoenn region (Gen III) starters are finalized (as of now). I like all three of them, and with Mega Evolution coming in Beta v2.0, you'll need mega stones for your starter (and best PKMN).

Update #1

Aerilon Town - The starting town of Pokémon Celestial Version!

I love this town's design! I feel that lofty, mountainous locations are underused in Pokémon games. The rocky surrounding area looks promising. Looking forward to future development!

Thank you! I'm actually not working on the game as much as I should since I have my finals coming, but hopefully Beta 0.0 will be out in August!

Update #2

The Dynamic Day & Night system in action. This is a debug feature. This will not be present in it's full glory in the initial release, rather in Beta 0.1. More updates can be viewed in the Discord server (check main post for link)!

Finals are very important so no need to push yourself to work on this while you study. As for beta 0.0, what would be an estimate length of the beta be? I'm not expecting it to be very long since it is a first release, I'm just curious.

And the day to night deal looks amazing and the starting town looks good.

Following this one. I like FR/LG style, specially with some custom tiles. And the CFRU is always welcome.

Item count - The amount of items in Celestial (only standard items!). This is just a debugging test: Many of these will appear in late beta's, and some which will appear not at all! Big thanks to Prof. Leon Dias for most of the data!

Hey everyone, looking for Beta Testers! The first Beta is far from done, but I need to select and finalize some people before releasing the actual Beta. Please PM me/reply in this thread if interested.
