I spent the past half hour reading the whole thread because I was so intrigued by the first post I wanted to see how the hack has developed. ^^ I've gotta say - I have never seen so much detail and effort put into the story of a hack. I absolutely love it! You have a real talent in that area and I'm very impressed. :D

I'm now so hooked on this game. :) The Intro looks fantastic and the mapping is very nice, especially considering that it is very hard to get a 'natural' look with the rigid and inflexible grid system. Either way I think it's been pulled off very well.

I really looking forward to updates 'n' stuff ^^ Good Luck with it!!

@Gira and Kip - Thank you so very much for your kind words! :) I appreciate every comment I receive - its stuff like this that keeps me going. ^^

Anyway, this is just a quick mapping update:

Image97-1.png
Image96-1.png

It's the first part of the Overworld map! (Tiles by Pokemon-Diamond with additional tiles by yours truly; based on the HG/SS map tiles by Game Freak). It was an absolute pain to insert and to get the palettes just right; but I feel it's worth it in the end, as it looks even better than I thought it would! :) I am aware of the rather stupid error I made on the right side of the map, where I have two path areas so close together you can step across and "skip" the lowest pink block (what was I thinking? ^^' Foresight, I lacks it...), but I will fix this with either a script or some minor remapping, so no worries. :) Anyway, SRT's overworld is broken up into six segments, each with a variety of "towns" and dungeons for our hero to explore. Each two segments of the map envelops a "chapter," or a smaller story arc within the overreaching plot - as for the details on those story arcs, you'll just have to wait a little XD For a preview of the first four segments of the map (though Segment #4 is not quite complete), click the spoiler tab below ^^

Spoiler:


As you can see, my foresight improved as I progressed! XD And yes, it is explained in-game why you can't just go straight up instead of having to take the long way. XD

Part Two of the intro is up for your viewing pleasure :)


The jerkiness in the audio and the random blackouts are NOT in-game...they're a result of editing the video in such a way to sync the sound to the action as much as possible ^^'

We see the overworld; a little bit of the first of the "mini dungeons" in the game; and characters talking...and talking...and talking ^^' And they're only gonna talk MORE in the next part of the intro...but we'll start getting into real gameplay soon, I promise! =D Just gotta do the world-building and get the plot ball rolling :)

Amazing work, both with scripts and overworld (ow-map gave me some ideas and I might even make own) :D
Also, FF4 music fits in perfectly !

Oh my arceus, don't mind if I steal overworld, right? (Credits for idea will be given :) )

This looks like one of the best hacks out there, definitely going to keep my eye on this one :D

Don't mind if you steal. -.-', whats going on with this forum?

Any who it is great to see a new update Pink Parka. I have been watching this hack since the beginning and ever since your hack Jersey Quest. The intro is very intriguing and your story is very well thought through. Best of luck my friend :D

This looks absolutely fantastic. Lol'd a bit at the Great Black One ^^ Maybe I was expecting some sort of god-like monster but it's a nice twist.

I love the whole map system you've got going there - I admit I was sceptical about it at first but you've pulled it off very well. The dungeon mapping is good too; I like how there's a variety of different trees rather than just the one in a row and the whole thing (minus the stairs :P) looks about as natural as you can get with that grid system we all know and love. The custom music, again, fits the mood perfectly.

Nice one PPG - really looking forward to the next one! :D

Hi! I love your hack :D
Did you make the Overworld map by just making a map, and adding a few scripts? That seems like the easiest way to go, and I don't know how else you'd do it. Am I right?

Wonderful! I'd have to say that the hack has a great Pokémon Mystery Dungeon type story, especially when you can see exactly what the Pokémon say and all that.

I also like the idea of how the Pichus, Pikachus, and Raichus live in one place.
And what an excellent idea to have a map that is based on the world map.

I'm sure this hack will be very sucessful, especially with it's graphics and stuff.

Good luck on the Pokémon Ruby hack!
It sure makes me feel like I really want to play this hack. xD
