So, I'm fairly new here, I guess you could say, but at the same time, I've been lurking for a while, so I know (most of) what I'm doing. I know the thread's not as fancy as some of you are used to, but it's gonna work for now until things get rolling.
Let me introduce myself, and my hack. You can just call me…Jed. Or violentiris. I really don't mind, either way. And you can call my hack:
POKEMON: THE NEW WORLD
It's a hack of FireRed. Now, let's get started.
STORYLINE
Your parents have recently been divorced, and since it's the summer, you're going home to Wichita to stay with your Dad for a while. He picks you up at the airport, and you two go home. Once you get there, he says that he wants to take you somewhere to surprise you, and you leave the house.
Outside, when you're almost there, you're ambushed by a member of Team Rocket. He tries to threaten your Dad into giving up his money and Pokemon, but he refuses. But when the grunt threatens you, your Dad engages in battle. He disposes of the grunt easily and you keep going.
Next, you enter a Pokemon Pet Store that's closing down soon. The owner shows you that there are five Pokemon left in stock: Eevee, Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. Your Dad only has money for the last three, and you choose. And thus, your Pokemon adventure begins.
WHAT IS THIS?
So, let's see. I'm sure that was all a bit confusing, right? After all, a Pokemon game based in Kansas would pretty much be the worst case scenario (no offense meant to any Kansas based Pokefans). But this game does have Kansas. And Chicago, Illinois. And Toronto, and various European locations.
My game is meant to be modeled after Earth itself.
I'm not exactly sure about space restrictions for this game, but it would be amazing to make this happen. I have a decent amount of time, though I'm going into college this fall, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to put in an hour or so per day. I'm doing it with 3 AP classes and band practice as it is.
Moving on…
FEATURES
-Day and Night system with RTC implemented (thanks to Mastermind_X)
-All Pokemon from first 3 Generations, plus a couple others (not a fan of the 4th, plus, if we were to attempt it, we'd have to delete originals)
-Custom soundtrack (courtesy of yours truly, with songs you'll probably recognize at least a few of)
-Entirely rebuilt maps (including insides, though I haven't gotten around to much of that yet)
-The manga's storyline with characters we know and love integrated with the normal world (it'll be interesting fo sho)
-Two rivals (one has to be a guy, and the other has to be a girl, you get to choose which for which though)
-Taxis, harbors, and airports (not exactly cheap, but fast for the start of the game!)
-Various other things I want but don't have the scripting knowledge to know whether it's possible on this platform or not (I'll get to that later)
There'll be a lot of other stuff, hopefully, but I'm not sure how much of it is reasonable.
CHARACTERS
Protagonist: The good old hero of old – you. You've had a somewhat troubled childhood, with your parents being divorced and overall unfortunate circumstances, but this new life as a Trainer is the equivalent of turning over a new leaf.
Dad: The donator of the "seed" that spawned you. He loves you dearly, and seeing you achieve something great would make him happy beyond belief. He also very much worries about you, but knows that longer you stay here as a Trainer, the longer you're with him and not Mom.
Mom: Lives in France with her new lover. If she didn't have him, there was no way you'd be coming to Wichita to visit your Dad, but you got lucky. She loves you, deep down, but she's also very self-centered. It might be a midlife crisis, but she's gone off her rocker lately, and her morals have become…how can I say it? A bit unbalanced.
Rival 1: This person has been a jerk to you since you were born, and he/she would love nothing more than to see you fail. He/she'll often set you up to fail during the game too, and enjoys sneaking up and pounding on you when you're weak. If you're going to be careful of anyone, make it this person.
Rival 2: Is rival the right word? You've known this person since you were born as well, and they've always treated you with respect. They're a bit hippy-esque, peace, love, and understanding borne, but they're always true to their friends. They'll help you often on your adventure.
Ash Ketchum: Guess who? That's right, Ash is back, and he's about as embarrassing as he started out in the TV show. But he's got a good heart, and he tries to help you out when he's capable.
Gary Oak: This dude's here too. No joke. He's not as much of a tool as your rival, but that doesn't speak volumes about his character, as your rival is pretty much evil incarnate. His grandpa's a decent guy, but himself? You'd be best avoiding him.
Professor Oak: Spoiler alert – he doesn't give anyone Pokemon at the start of the game. Why should I make it that easy? But he plays several important roles, juggling the five of you at the start of the game, trying to help you all out at once.
Team Rocket: Preparing to fight doesn't begin to cover it. There's a lot of these guys, and wherever there's something bad, it's usually them. Don't rule out the other teams, but these are definitely the main antagonists.
SCREENIES
Because I have to. Nothing special, but you get the idea.
MAPS
PROGRESS
Maybe 0.5% now, wewt. Rapid City's next to get done, and I'm working on Route's 2 and 3.
TEAM
I need one.
I'm sorry, but I'm an utter failure at scripting. I've ruined two attempts at this trying to already, and in order for this to succeed, I need scripters. And spriters – I'm not a great spriter, hell, I'm not a decent one. As a matter of fact, I'll just list all the positions. If you're interested, just feel free to apply for multiple positions.
Scripter (works with all the hxc scriptorz, or xse in this case.)
Mapper (tiles included, palettes as well, I'm not great with this. I'll send you the rough draft, and you can have a day with it.)
Spriter (includes overworlds if you want to, and if you want to do new pokemon sprites, that's fine too. It's nice to make this original)
Story Editor (I have an outline, but I'll send it to you to get second opinions. And if you have an idea to make it better, feel free!)
Don't ask about beta testing; it's not going to happen for a while most likely.
