I honestly don't have a good name for this yet, so give me some ideas. I just made something up on the spot for the thread title, but it's a pretty bad name imo. (Hopefully that's something a mod can change later on.)

  • Story: Team Magma has built a base deep in the earth to harness energy from the earth's core, destroying this series of Ice Caves in the process. As a member of Team Aqua, you can't let Team Magma get away with destroying these caves, as they are a habitat for thousands of water and ice pokemon. Unfortunately, most of these pokemon have already fled the cave, but at least that means you won't face much resistance while moving through the caves.

  • Features:

  1. This hack consists of a multitude of cave-based puzzles, including ice, strength, diving puzzles, etc.
  2. The ability to access all of the caves from your room will remain for replayability purposes, however no plot related events will occur if you enter them through your room.

  • Screenshots:
Spoiler:


Enter the caves straight from your room. (Which got a lot bigger... somehow.)
Doing this will allow you to play all of the puzzles, without dealing with any of the plot. Useful for replaying the game etc.



Items will be scattered across the map, just as an extra challenge. They won't be easy to get to though. (Except for that one on the right... obviously. lol)



The goal is to get to the ladder leading downward. The deeper you go, the harder the puzzles get.




Careful, there are some places where you can get stuck permanently. In that case, a ladder will take you back to the beginning of the level.

Full Maps:

What I'm looking for:

  • A scripter. Most of the stuff I need is very basic, but there are a couple things that I would like to do that are pretty advanced, so I may need someone with some decent experience.
  • I don't need any help with the mapping, but if someone wants to make a map or two for it, I would be OK with it. (Must be able to make a challenging puzzle, that still looks good/ doesn't have any tile errors etc.) I'm going to be pretty picky about this though, sorry.
  • A tile maker. I need a lot of help in this department now.
  • A spriter, just for the main character.
Now that I've incorporated this new plot, I definitely need an experienced scripter to help. I also will need a new sprite for the main character, (PM me if you're interested) and I will need some pretty extensive tile making help.

Progress: 6 Caves complete.

This will turn out good if you use time creating them and are creative and can actually make them challenging (that's the hard part of it).

That's a brilliant idea!
How about you make "levels"?

1) would be Ice
2) could be Strength boulders
and so on...
If I put in challenges like strength puzzles, you would need to get the HM before you could do it... but I guess I could just give you the HM in the beginning or something.

Or you can just change how strength rocks move, a scripter should be able to work that out.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering if that was possible lol.

This is a very cool looking game! How many "levels" will there be? Also, will there be pokemon at all? Because. if so you could like have a boss at the end.
I was thinking somewhere from 10-20 levels. Any more than that would just get really boring.
I actually have something in mind for a boss of sorts... I've seen something similar done in other hacks, but I think it would be kind of complicated to script.

Okay, sorry to burst in on the party and do the same thing I've already did today, but I'm afraid this can't qualify as a Progressing Hacks thread. Real sorry for the public humiliation Quilava King, it was my fault for approving this thread, wrongly. You see, your screenshots, features and stories really don't stray too far away from ordinary Pokémon games, and, unfortunately, this doesn't fit the requirements. I am really sorry to you, QuilavaKing, it was my fault for approving the thread, but it's my job to fix what I've made wrong, so I've got to close this thread. Real sorry. >:

is this good for the hero/main character. I have the guy hero wearing a snowsuit.

Is it only going to be Magma's hideout next to lilycove???
or is all of hoenn going to be icy. This would add so much ice to it.

Well, you're a member of Team Aqua, so it needs to be their uniform, but a heavier/snow themed version of it.

And it's a completely separate base from Magma's hideout.

so, since you're an aqua member, if there are pokemon, will they be water or ice type?
There actually won't be any battles, as crazy as that sounds. Not to say that there won't be any pokemon/action in the hack.

What a fun idea.
No, seriously. This is original, and I'd definately play it, even if there are no battles. Well done, I look forward to a release :)

W-w-wait!? No Pokemon battles? Aw... Oh well. I guess I won't be looking at this hack often. But what would be good would be if after all the caves, you battle endless Team Magma grunts throught "the core" and your Boss gives you a Pokemon and heals you when you need to.

I believe in Jesus Christ my Savior. If you do too, and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

Well, considering that you can't fight wild pokemon while sliding on ice, and there will be almost nothing in the hack other than that (it's pretty short.) It wouldn't really make much sense to give you a pokemon, and throw in a bunch of battles at the end, with no training at all in between.
