I really want to see this amazing rom complited..........
but pokemon life is continuing?
hello everyone! i'm back again, now for the last time. i'm here to confirm that Pokémon:LIFE is not in development anymore.
The main reason is just my lack of interest. It's not enjoyable anymore. binary rom-hacking is a very frustrating process.
No matter what I do, this is not my game, it's gamefreak's. The idea of spending years of my life "working" on something that isn't mine now doesn't sits well with me anymore.
I've rom-hackd for more than 10 years, and I learned a ton of things through all this. Game development, programming, music, art and much more. I'm extremely grateful for everyone that helped me, teached me and also for the support you all showed me throughout the years.
I'm sorry for making promises that I couldn't keep (boy, I made many of those), and sorry for not living up to the hype.
In fact, fear of disappointing everyone was one of the main reasons on why I kept delaying this last message. But i'm over it! I'm disappointing you all x)
I have prepared a last gift for anyone that still cares about this project: i'm releasing a bunch of my favorite tilesets, animations and stuff I used for everyone to use. The main appeal of the project was its graphics, so releasing them to public use is the least I can do. If you are making a gen4/5 style game, this might be of good use. Feel free to use, repost, rearrange and modify anything here, just make sure to credit the people who are in the .txt files.
This .zip file also includes a bunch of flowmaps (that I used to plan the regions) and a resume of the story. If you are curious about what the game could have been, feel free to check it out. There are some stuff in portuguese, so you'll have to google translate some of it.

In order to rom-hack, you gotta have fun with it. If it's not fun anymore, it's not worth it.
thanks again for all your support. I'm still gonna continue in the game development area, but now I'll invest more time into my original IPs.
thank you.
bye bye
