Wanted Tilesetter!

Hello! I open this discussion because I need a tilesetter for the RPG game that I'm currently developing. I have a very good team but in all that I miss a tilesetter (or art director depending on how you want to call) So if there is anyone interested in the project of our team please send a private message! Thank you and good continuation of reading!

Hack name: Pokémon Alpha Team


Hack of: Pokémon Firered/Leafgreen


Information about the hack: The hero/heroin is a 11-12 year old kid. Their father is on the "Pokémon Alpha Team" in Kanto for a mission to stop team "Delta Void" One day, your house catches on fire while the hero/heroin is sleeping and the Mother comes in to wake them up. A couple days later, The family receives a call from the Alpha Team stating that the kid's father has disappeared and is now considered MIA. The kid locks him/herself in their room and thinks about if their dad is MIA or possibly dead. They wake up the next morning, and their mom tells them that they have to move to Kanto. After the move, the hero/heroin receives mail from the team stating that they need their help in looking for their father. They will provide essential starting tools for the journey across Kanto to find their dad.

Features: All Pokémon gen 1-3(mega evolutions included), Revamped Kanto Maps, new leaders, RED is FIGHTABLE at the end of the game. New elite four. New starters-Eevee, Pikachu, or maybe Poochyena, MEGA EVOLUTIONS!!!YAY!!!!, some other stuff...

Finished percentage: Haven't started yet, just came up with the idea XD
Your hacking skills: Mapping, Spriting(Inserting), tile inserting(somewhat)
What help or skill you're looking for: Tile Editing, Sprite Maker, Scripter, all that good stuff, hex editing, maybe asm patching.
Additional contact information: you can pm me here, email me [email protected], or skype me at xana6756
Additional information: NONE so far

Hack name: Project D-Load (no final hack name yet)
Hack of: FireRed
Information about the hack: An adaptation of the Digimon series. The hack will feature many story elements from all Digimon seasons, but the main quest will be heavily adapted from Adventure 01. Side-quests involving the other seasons will exist though. It will be styled more as an RPG than Pokemon's traditional feel. There will be no Pokemon, just Digimon who will belong to Tamers. Except for Digivolution, most battle mechanics will be taken directly from Pokemon so there will be Physical/Special/Status moves, the 17 Types, and Pokemon stats. All Pokemon terms will be changed to reflect the Digimon series, as well as most items and mechanics. Many of the bad guys will be original Tamers modeled after and utilizing the Digimon antagonists and the story is a slightly more mature version of the series. Digivolution can be both temporary and permanent (looking for different advantages for both) to suit player's taste and will be much more varied than Pokemon.
Finished percentage: 0 for the actual hack, 75% of the planning. I have the region map and story all fleshed out, have almost finished the list of Digimon to include, started planning side quests and such, characters, etc. I'm working on characters now. I've got a list of all features in detail that I plan on including and how to at least learn to implement them.
Your hacking skills: None. I've literally just started to learn how to hack, but I'm a writer and have been working on the story itself for a couple of years. I'm currently researching and studying as much of hacking as I can.
What help or skill you're looking for: Literally anything. I have no experience and am in no position to ask for anything specific. Spriting, mapping, ASM, scripting, story help, art design, even help with the story, I'll take any help. You don't even have to know anything about Digimon (Hell, I think you'll enjoy the ROM better if you don't). Directing me to some learning resources would even help tremendously.
Additional contact information: PM me on here first if you're interested and then I'll share my personal Skype or e-mail. I have a few documents to share on what I have so far I can send.
Additional information: I plan on making two versions, one being a lite hack that is mostly script changes and sprite replacement with a more Pokemonish story as the test hack, and then the full version. The hack will also have plenty of Easter eggs and references to "geek culture" in general to reflect Digimon's internet themes.

Hack name: Pokemon Blood Red (possible change)

Hack of: Pokemon Fire Red

Information about the hack:
tl;dr, A complete overhaul of fire red whilst still preserving the story, simply adding onto it.
Basically a fire red expansion pack.


Finished percentage:15-25%

Your hacking skills: XSE scripting, YAPE, Sprite insertion and tile insertion and altering, advance map mapping and customizing, etc. I use nearly every kind of pokemon hack tool available.

What help or skill you're looking for:tl;dr: I'm looking for someone to make pokemon sprites! If you have great mega evolution ideas or can make mine come to life, i've got a job for you! (this includes battle sprites [front and back] and OW sprites, not necessarily needing to be done by the same person) :)
I'm also looking for potential beta testers.
Additional info:

Additional contact information: You can PM me via this website or contact me via skype by the username; FriedSpock. I will get back to you immediately.

Additional information:I'm accepting ideas for this hack. I'm not the most creative guy there is, but id love to have this hack go in other directions, (ex; another region?) when it comes to the storyline.

Hack name: TBA
Hack of: Fire Red
Information about the hack: This hack explores the war theory with the protagonist being the newest recruit into the Kanto Pokemon Corps (KPC).

Hack name: TBA
Hack of: Whatever the team thinks is best, I'd guess Emerald though.
Information about the hack: A mostly standard Pokémon where you play as a young coordinator. The protagonist travels around their home region (and maybe a second region if everything goes well) competing in five contests and finally the Grand Festival in their quest to be a top coordinator.

I imagine contests function like a cross between the contests from Gen III and gym battles with the first part being an appeal to the judges followed by three one-on-one battles. A loss in any of these four stages will lead to having to re-enter the contest.

Wanted: programmer for fakemon hack

Hello, greninjaboss here with a urgent question.
I and a team gathered together to create our own fakemon game but we need someone who can make a rom hack. We already tried to make something but I didn't work well. If you can help us or you know someone who's willing to work on this game, let me know. We really need help!
Our project is called Pokémon theta thunder and almost all fakemon are done.
If you could help, please let me know!

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for some people to help out. What i'm looking for is a writer.
I need help in writing a storyline, town names, ect.

As you can tell this hack is in very very early stages.
It doesn't have a name yet, I decided the name needs to wait until we have a good story to go around.

Shoot me a PM if you wish to help!

What is your hack about..? It'd be nice if you included details and/or the template listed so people interested in helping can know the basic idea of the hack

Hack name: Pokemon Galactica(Get's changed if name has been taken)

Hack of: Pokemon - Ruby

Information about the hack: After you're gone from home the Johto region to begin a new adventure with your Bellsprout , you decide to travel to the region Gala . When you get there you get told by people the 2 teams try mutually to gain control . Whose side are you on? None, both think you're a spy for the other and try everything to stop you. A second problem is your " rival " who constantly is trying to defeat you to show who is the better one. Furthermore, the 3 Pokemon Entei , Suicune and Raikou have emerged in the region but what they do there is still unknown but what's known is that the gangs try to catch these Pokemon to use their power that is what you should prevent to happen . Will you be able to do this? That 's up to you but remember .. when both meet at the same place , things happen that no one has previously wished.

Finished percentage: 0.5%

Your hacking skills: So far i can make trainer battles work in the game as the basic text scripts.

What help or skill you're looking for: Looking for:

- 1-2 Scripters Doesn't matter which one you use whatever suits you better.
- 1-2 Spriters who can make new Trainer Sprites, OW Sprites (if possible) and maybe insert them.
- 1 Mapper (tried making them by myself but they looked horrible) This spot is necessary.
- Someone who has skills to replace the original music in the game. This spot also is necessary.

Additional contact information: You can pm me here if you're interested in helping. I might decide to move to Discord with the team so we can discuss stuff there.

Additional information: Remember that i want to have a whole new region so the mapper spot is needed. I might increase it to 2 mappers if it works out good. It would be really nice to have someone for the music as the standard one is nice but let's show some different music.

Hack name: Pokemon Purple (Working Title)
Hack of: GBA Ruby
Information about the hack: As a birthday gift for a friend, I made a few sprites for a fan region of hers. Then a few chiptunes, then a few maps... It escalated from there, and soon we had a full-scale hack on our hands. We're both fully committed to the project now- she does concept art and story development, and I do the graphical side. However, since we decided to make this a full hack, I decided to come to the Pokecommunity to seek out help in the areas which I have little experience in.
Finished percentage: Like 10 or 15% is fully done, but the development is ongoing.
Your hacking skills: Sprites and music are what I'm best at, but I can also do mapping, stat editing, and a bit of dialogue.
What help or skill you're looking for: Primarily someone to do backsprites and title screens- things with compressed images that I have no idea how to use yet. Also, someone to help with events, dialogue, and story-flow...
Additional contact information: [email protected]
Additional information: We have a lot of work done developing this region, and it means a lot to my friend that I've even gotten this little part done. For more information, please email me, or send me a pm. Like I said, we have a whole set of lore for this region, and all you need do is ask for more information.
