anyone who doesn't needs to rethink their definition of "awesome".

What a beautiful hack I might actually find time to play this. But what made you use the name Jasper?

openkaart · May 24, 2013

This looks great! Is there a download link?

OPSdoesLPs · May 24, 2013

I'm honestly loving how this hack is looking right now, all the little snapshot show progress, when it gets done or atleast another playable demo, I'll do a quick let's play of it to get it more out there!

Hack Information:
Official Hack Title (Changed as of 1/3/13): Pokemon DarkJasper Version
ROM Base: FireRed BPRE
Creator: shinyabsol1
Hack Status: Progressing

Introduction:

Spoiler:

Hello PokéCommunity, I am shinyabsol1. I started hacking a couple of years ago, and since then it has been a goal of mine to create a Pokémon hack. I could have slapped something together a long time ago and put it on here, but instead I decided to do a lot of learning first. So I have spent much time over the past few years getting experience in many different areas of Pokémon ROM hacking. There were struggles at times, but also many successes. Now, I am ready to present to you the beginning stages of my hack (which, at the moment, truly conveys only the tip of the iceberg of what I plan to do)!

Story:

Spoiler:

Welcome to Somia: a treacherous yet beautiful land far from all other Pokémon regions. Topical coastline alongside pristine waters and countless isles surround an untamed interior filled with forests that rise up to the regions Heavens mountain range at its center. But don't let the peaceful façade fool you. The region hides a secret that will thrust you into the midst of doings predicted long ago by the oracles of Somia. A radical dream researching team, known as CYPRUS, threaten the security of mind and body alike as they search for "dream cores", the power behind our dreams. Should they succeed in their attempt to gain the power of dreams, nobody is safe from darkness and nightmares. But getting the cores is not simple, and not all cores are alike in power…it will take time and daring penetration into dreams in order to claim these prizes.

What is your role in the fate of the region? Will CYPRUS be able to collect the power of dreams? And just what IS their motive? Find out when you play Pokémon: DarkJasper Version

1) Asking about release date is against the rules.
2) Beta progress is there for a reason. If it's not 100% in every category it obviously cannot be released.

Can't wait to download it it looks very good

shinyabsol1 · May 29, 2013

Hey guys. It's been a while since I posted anything new in this thread, so I'm going to provide a little update today :)
First off, I haven't had a huge amount of time to work on this over the past couple of months, so progress has been rather slow. Hopefully I will have more time to work on this sooner rather than later.

Nevertheless, I have a couple of small things to show/announcements to make:

1). Force male gender patch applied (thanks Deigoisawesome). Originally I planned to make the female character accessible, but its one less thing to worry about this way.

2). Trainer encounter music extension added (thanks Jambo51). In addition to this, I ported 5 RSE encounter themes that will be used. I would like to add more later.

3). I have begun work on adding some 4th/5th gen moves. This is low priority, so I haven't gotten very far.

4). I didn't like a couple of my maps, so I redid them.

Now, some screens:

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Jasper Version

Hero bike and fishing sprites are complete and inserted!

Rock Climb script functioning!

That's all for now!

Mr. Black · May 30, 2013

Awesome update dude !!! Love those screens !

Yukari · May 30, 2013

I must say your hack looks very good. But I didn't like the grass tile it looks... to repetitive and the others don't look as good together but other than that I think it looks fine

Thanks. As for the grass, I know what you mean. I'm not wild about it either. But I haven't been able to find one that fits better with the palette or that I like better, so for now it will stay.

socko · May 31, 2013

Ah! you're back :) Awesome update! I normally dun have the patience to insert OWs 1 by 1 but you seem to be more steady xD

maybe you could try to make the grass blend better and use more grass tiles although it would take more space I think it might be worth it. If it looks good that is...
