Hack of: FIRE RED
* * *
THE CREATORS
We're Magneto20 and Andyp5-15, and we've been hacking since Summer 2007. We originally worked on a Gold hack called Pokemon SkyBluePink, which was, for a better word.... awful.
However, our hacking skills have improved quite a bit since then, and now we're working on a Fire Red hack. We're not the GREATEST hackers in the world, but we're aiming to make a good game people will enjoy.

THE GAME
Pokemon Septo Conquest is our debut game. In essence it's to show that ANYONE can make a good ROM-Hack if they work hard enough on it. Because we're actually friends in real life and not just online it's given us a huge advantage to make Septo Conquest, which we've been working on since last autumn. The hacking isn't the BEST, scripting could be better, but we feel as if we've got a good, funny and enjoyable game.
We've already released one beta and a second one will be available shortly.

THE SEPTO REGION
The region of Septo is divided into seven main islands, with a smaller mini-island to the west.
Here's a short descritpion of each:
1st Island: The island you begin the game in. It's a foresty island with lots of twisting mazes.
2nd Island: This is a muddy barren island with only one town. Lots of rocks and caves.
3rd Island: It's a tropical beach island. It's the smallest of the main seven islands.
4th Island: This island is mostly made up of open fields. Has many thugs running about.
5th Island: A very misty island where visibility is really low.
6th Island: This is the biggest of the main seven islands. It's constantly raining and several places are flooded.
7th Island: Made up of mountains and is very sunny. Lots of hikers around.

The mini-island can only be accessed after completing all seven islands. The final bosses are on this little island.


THE STORY
One year ago, the King of Septo was assassinated and his kingdom was stolen from him by two people known as The Dictators. Prof. Oak, who was working as the King's chief researcher, managed to rescue the King's only child and took him/her to his hometown of Faris Town.
Now living with an alcholic foster mother, you, the only child to the King and the true heir to the throne of the Septo Region, must take the region back. After Oak gives you a Pokemon, you start your very own quest. The objective is to overthrow the seven Barons (minions of the Dictators), each of who rule one island. By doing that, you'll be able to conquer that island and get closer to the showdown with the two Dictators.

However, there is more to it. You will also be fighting two evil teams: Team Vine and Team Solar. Team Vine are a bunch of eco-warriors who fight the save nature, but in bad ways, and Team Solar are an organisation of criminals who steal, pillage and kidnap people and Pokemon alike.


NOTABLE FEATURES
- 3 Starters: Machop, Drowzee and Skarmory.
- A host of new characters, including the player, the 7 Barons, a Pokemon thief named Cookman and much more!
- A few old characters from the original games return in new roles: Oak, who was the King's chief researcher, Lance, who becomes an ally and gives you many free items throughout the game, Brenden and May, who were kidnapped from Hoenn by Team Solar and brought to Septo, Bill, who is now an evil scientist who likes to clone people. Also Brock serves as a boss early on in the game, as he is now homeless after being kicked out of Kanto and seeks to battle many skilled trainers in order to get his old gym leader position reinstated.
- A whole new region to explore.
- Lots and lots of humour - very good dialogue to keep people entertained.
- All 386 Pokemon from the advance games.
- No Pokemon Gym Challenge. Instead it's fighting the Barons.

Screenshots
Oak does not waste his time.

Meeting Brenden for the first time.

A maze of rocks on the second island.

A man giving you information on the whereabouts of one of the Barons.

The second Baron's lair.

The player working their way through a puzzle.

Meeting a character called Hurel who was kidnapped by Team Solar.

Another maze.

Faris Town, the starting location.


More information coming soon!

I must say, I'm definitely intrigued by this. You've cooked up a really interesting looking storyline, and if you can deliver on it, you should have a really enjoyable hack.

I look forward to seeing more from this.

It's a interesting storyline, but an alcoholic foster mother?!
Except for somewhat easy mapping I think you've put up a great proof..

Your maps could have some improvement, and I have no comment other than that.

Andyp5-15 has recently pointed out that there is a Septo Conquest thread on here (I forgot...) so now I bring you people updates!

A lot has happened since April, and we're nearing completion. We've hacked up until the seventh island, and then we've only got the Elite 4 areas to do.
So, yeah, big improvement.


I noticed some guy commented on the dark storyline. Response: Yes, it's dark, yet more original than the generic "Beat the 8 gyms, a rival and the Elite 4". You may notice I said in this post "then we've only got the Elite 4 areas to do", implying there's an Elite 4 in this game, but there's not. That's just my way of describing the areas where the final bosses are fought. The replacement of the Elite 4 are the Two Dictators.

Also some other guy said the maps looked easy or something. Well, they've improved, and those screenshots aren't exactly showing off the best maps.



Without further ado: THE SCREENSHOTS!

Every time the player defeats a Baron, he kills him/her (with the exception of the fifth Baron, for reasons I won't disclose right now) in a creative way. In this case, it's playing a James Blunt song! (Apologies to anyone who actually likes James Blunt)


Some rather large man tells the player some good news.


Pay attention to signs. They might just give you helpful hints.

I think he meant 'defeat' instead of 'kill'

I genuinely meant 'kill'. This is a darker game than usual, as someone in this thread has already noticed.
But don't worry! It's only a game! They're not really dead, as they're only fictional!;)


Also, no, Baron Alberto won't be in Septo Conquest.


destinedjagold - The sign is there because it's a joke. It's making fun of those road signs like "WARNING! SLIGHT BEND IN ROAD IN 500M!".


Also, here's three more screenshots:

The player working their way through Copper Castle, a really big location with tons of trainers, puzzles and boss fights. The objective in Copper Castle is to save President Beardy of the Virgin Corporation from the clutches of Team Solar.

Standing outside a house in the monsoon Rikku Village, owned by a character named Hurel.

Good news, people!

There is now a trailer of Septo Conquest: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QAqRIfDQ_gQ

Please take 2 minutes to watch it.

Thanks.

Yes, this will be quite interesting - I wonder what other surprises there will be -

O, I forgot to introduce myself - I am andyp159, the co-maker of this hack. I will also post updates here from time to time.


Oh, and by the way, I agree, the player sprite is a bit odd - we are considering changing it slightly

Yes. We have, here it is:



SCREENSHOTS
We have kept the concept of the 7th Gym's question machines and reused it in a new location (with new and improved questions that are based on events from the game)!


This is what happens if you get a questions correct:



Baron Craig, the final Baron, has imprisoned a small family.


The player makes their way to FIRION VILLAGE.


A mysterious forcefield repels you from the TARDIS lab (which, for those of you who haven't guessed the connection, the lab is much, MUCH bigger on the inside).


Another encounter with the omnipresent Lance!



More to come at a later date!


If you haven't done so already, please watch this trailer of Septo Conquest (and if you have already watched it, well, watch it again, cos it's cool):
http://youtube.com/watch?v=QAqRIfDQ_gQ

UPDATES
I've noticed that it's been a bit comment-bare recently, (no-one has replied since my previous post), so I bring you fantastic updates in the hope of producing some interest!

SCREENSHOTS


Just a small taster of how much of a challenge the first dictator's lair is going to be (Team Solar and Vine battles plus a spinning tile maze in the dark!)


Hurel (a guy that follows you around giving sparse advice) 'congratulating' the player upon defeating the first dictator and telling the player where to go next.


The player makes their way towards the ultimate destination, SILVER CASTLE.


In the preface map to Silver Castle, the player will go through seven seperate challenges, each representing one island of the game. Here we have the player making their way through a jump fence maze, which were littered around the fifth island.


A beach challenge reminiscent of AERIS ISLAND (the third island).


A guard letting you through to the Silver Castle after surviving the area.


Lots and lots of stairs leading up to the Silver Castle.


A gravestone maze that was last seen in Deadman's Castle. It may look easy and simple, but invisible walls prevent from walking straight to the door. Instead, you must locate the correct path through the stones to the exit.


We do not encourage thievery!


On the second floor of the Silver Castle is a nefarious maze where in instances the orange tiles are the wall and the blue tiles are the floor, however it changes at random points making it difficult to conquer. In addition, the key to solving this maze is moving the boulders (not seen in the previous version of this puzzle located at the Team Vine HQ) in certain directions.


This man speaks the truth. You should listen to him!



If you haven't done so already, check out the trailer for Septo Conquest at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QAqRIfDQ_gQ

Thanks for reading, if you have any questions leave a comment and we will get back to you ASAP. More updates to follow in the near future!

Good news, people!

SEPTO CONQUEST is nearing full completion!
Yes, you heard it right, a ROM-hack has been seen through by only two people and is very nearly ready to be released unto the magical internet (as a patch, for legal purposes)!

Me and Magneto20 are just adding the finishing touches, so if all is good, then you can all play Septo Conquest in just over fortnight.

Also, a new, final trailer for Septo Conquest will be done soon, so look out for that too.

Once Septo Conquest is done, we can move onto our sophomore hack, Lance Adventures
