FireRed hack: Pokémon: Azure Horizions

Hack of:

Engine: 1635 - Pokémon Fire Red (U)

Story
General plot summary.
-----------------------------------------------
After months of waiting, you finally get your acceptance letter to the regional league. Finally the chance to follow in the footsteps of your brother, a great Pokémon trainer. With goal set, you begin to start your journey as a Pokémon trainer growing with each challenge. Working your way through the ranks and eventually, to the top. However, as soon as your journey begins, you and a companion sees a news broadcast. A disturbance has undergone, strange Pokémon trainers have been going around the region causing havoc. Their goal, however, is out of the ordinary. What it is currently is completely unknown... will it conflict with your own?


Project Overview
Some general information.
-----------------------------------------------
Well this will be my first actual hack that I will actually try to make an effort to work on and eventually finish. My goal is simple - to create an entirely new and fresh Pokemon RPG using the Fire Red engine but still keep the charm of the past Pokemon RPGs. I hope to implement new features (especially D/P features) and graphics, tilesets, etc. I'll make an effort while making this hack and try to create a nice and enjoyable gameplay experience.

this look really good man keep it up!!! yay 1st post
i like the pallete

Awesome nice job!Cant wait for beta

Looking really good so far. The storyline could use a little work, though. It's too boring. Also, I noticed something in your maps. The colors on the edges of the paths have retained their original colrs. You might want to change that.

Looks so authentic, I am a Noob to this forum, so I'll just leave it at it is amazingly realistic, picture-wise.

Very awesome dude. Hope you dont give up!

Yeah, I haven't fully described the storyline, I'll spoil it once the development goes onward...

As for the palettes I've noticed them, like I said in the first post I'm still in the process in palette editing.


@ other posts above

Thanks so much for the compliments! :)

I like the pallet colors! The story seems nice. We shall see. ^^

Good Luck!

Cool. I've always like the maps you do. The story does sound a little familiar, but honestly, I prefer it over something random and unbelievable. (As far as Pokemon stories go..)

I'm loving it! Lookin' good. Lots of good hacks around these days...
and this one seems best!

Nice screenies! I love this hack... Keep it up!

Sorry for the lack of updates.

School is getting on me so I'll only have some free time to work on this hack on the weekend and occasionally weekdays if I get all of my papers done...

Anyways I've finished mapping the Weather Institute!

A few screenshots below



The team has taken over the Weather Institute, it's up to you to stop them! But what are they after?

---

No dialog as of yet... I'll start scripting the events pretty soon.

Also disregard the Rocket overworlds, they'll be replaced within the next update.

looks great can't wait to play it. Wonder who the bad guys will be?

Realy Nice Palette :shocked:!

Wow the hacks good.
I like the pallete colours.
Anyways keep it up.

Yeah, this looks like it's going to do good.

This looks like a promising hack. :]

Can't wait to learn more about it.

Wow nice palette..
Looks nice good luck..:)

This looks intriguing. Keep it up.

It seems that I have a problem with the dialog, once it's done it finishes and the textbox disappears giving you no time to read some of the final words. It's happening to all of the signs and people. I'll need to start a new Rom so don't expect some updates in a couple of weeks. :/

Anyways on a lighter note I've finally found out how to affectively palette edit using APE. Besides that I now have the overworlds for the new team. More info on them as updates continue.



Thanks to wonkaXbar (seriously, this guy had like a million sn's) for the battle sprite.
