Emerald hack: Pokémon: Discovery

don't you guys know about slave slates man LOL

save states arent reccomended as I had an issue once where instead of loading my last real save it loaded a save state instead thus erasing all my progress from the actual save.

Pokemon Discovery: The Dark Souls of Pokemon ROM hacks. In all seriousness, I do like the idea of making you save at specific points to give the sense of surviving in a harsh environment.

I'm actually taking a lot of inspiration from one of my favorite games, Tomb Raider. I'm too casual for Dark Souls {XD}

something dumb think its good or ignore...but pokemon actually losing hp as u move along......loses 5 10 hp every 500 steps? be some kind of survival move

I thought about doing something similar to this, but I don't want to limit exploration. I feel like people would be less likely to search around if they are limited to how many steps they can take. Good suggestion, though.

I'm not too fond of save point mechanics like these, since it leaves a lot of room for error to occur. especially if you arent able to save before a boss, forcing you to go through an entire dungeon again.

Speaking of dungeons can you enable the use of the lantern in the cannibal village? Because that dang builing with the ghost pokemon is a pain due to the risk of running in circles over and over again.

I agree with the cannibal village part, although I think the dungeon/boss problem can be solved with a bonfire near the boss (or just putting inteligently the bonfires)... or we could always have a Dark Souls, where to fight a stupid unfair boss, you have to keep running like 5 minutes each with the risk of being killed in the way by the minions hahaha xD

Checking the post daily, I'm super hyped for this ****!!!

You won't have to worry about that. The bonfires will be in pretty convenient places. You'll be able to do a lot more than just save at them in the future, so I want to make them readily available.

I feel like you should have the ability to make a bonfire too, but so as not to overuse this function, have the method of making one a little challenging, where the materials aren't easy to find or something. That way if you need to save and there isn't a convenient spot nearby, then you might be able to make one where you are cuz you have the necessary materials with you.

I was wondering when the beta is released can we play it in phone?

keep going guys Good Luck

I never even realized Pokemon Discovery was revived (Probably because I haven't been on in over a year).
This makes me very happy!

I've heard this had been canceled, so I'm glad that someone adopted it. Unfortunately I don't play unfinished rom hacks as I get a bit too upset when I get to the end, but the second you finish, I'll download. This is a great idea.

I'm seriously damn glad that this game has been revived since I'd been following it since the very beginning.
Can't wait to see the 1st new demo.

Nice! Also, how long will it take for the beta to be released?
