Really looking forward to playing this hack. The screenshots look amazing. Great maps and the fakemon sprites are some of the best I've seen probably.
Also super bummed about Dark Violet ha
Thank you so much!
Hm, I would suggest that you avoid using *both* neoricemon and standard mons, since neorice's fakedex has a very internally-consistent style that's looks different from the standard mon style. I.e., neoricemon look excellent in their own right, but look a bit funny next to regular mons (as a simple comparison, all of the fakemon in
Cyan match the regular style, and so don't look 'off' when juxtaposed with them). Maybe you think this isn't as important as increasing the mon variety, though? (Or it's just me that see a style difference? :P )
Anyway, definitely make sure you include the entire neoricedex (well, excluding the legendaries if they don't fit the story) even with the added regular mons, as there's a lot of cool critters in there and it'd be a shame not to get to use them!
I understand the difference of the art styles, but it's really not that different, if I use let's say HGSS sprites. There will be original Pokémon in the game, but if there's 5 Fakemon in a route, only 1 Pokemon will be there. I feel at least some Pokémon are needed, because I don't want to isolate the player in a completely new environment and it also makes interesting team combinations. I won't be adding all of them, maybe a Fakemon family or two won't be in it, mainly because I can't resize them properly...yet. If I'll succeed, maybe I'll add them.
And yes, the most awesome fighting lemur will be in it! :D
I think you've done some great sprite-work.
Especially the "cat-like" thing. It's so cool!
Good luck !
I didn't sprite them myself, but I did the backsprites, though. Thanks!
The only thing i would suggest is to mix the cave tiles.
Who doesn't love Kyledove tiles? Everyone loves them, but I think that you should not use only his tiles, cause it does not looks original. Everything else looks great. What happened to the mom?
ermahgerd more mystery
Understandable, but these cave tiles will only appear in the Bauxite Cave. Don't worry, I'll spice the tiles up later on. I won't tell you what happens to the mom, it's a spoiler, dude!
You never fail to amaze me! Story is really interesting and full of mysteries!
Looking forward to this! ^_^
Dont have much to say, maybe add few more tiles for the ground? like patches and stuffs. I understand that the tiles you used consumes a lot of space, I should know I inserted the same tiles myself back then haha. But hope you do find a way to get around with that.
Scripting wise, Cant say much but the first event really is excellent and interesting! Cant wait to play it myself!
*cough* Not a fan of fakemon *cough* But neoriceisgood's an exception. I find his fakemon too awesome, and of course your's too! But why only use one?
Good to see you active, man! Thank you so much, really! I think I will ad some ground tiles, just to make it a little more interesting, and yes - I don't have a lot of space in my tileset 1 anymore :P. Like I said before, I didn't spytie any of the fakes, I just do the backsprites. I got permission for the Mascot, because I thought it goes well with others and just looks amazing.
Keep up the good work Riddler. Things are looking like they are going great. Loving the graphics you're choosing.
JosefigGaming and I are on fire with this project! Thanks!
Congrats on winning Hack of the Month! Enjoy your sticky for the month. n_n
Thank you and I will!
Updates!
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who voted for Twisted Mind in this month's Hack of the Month. It really means a lot and it's a great inspiration for the future!
-I've added a new minimalistic bootscreen graphic, mapped route 803, which is a sandy beach great for finding interesting grass and water type Pokémon/Fakemon.
-JosefigGaming did a lot of scripts, from NPCs to a Fossil event.
Comments and criticism are gladly appreciated and thanks again!
