Hey guys, it's me RuFF, previously known as quil09, rom hacker of Pokemon HarvestCraft. This is my second attempt to make a hack but it's my first time using fire red so I hope this ends well.

The Legendary Trio, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, is said to reside in Sierra Region after the incident that happened in Hoenn 2 years ago. Because of this, Team Magma and Team Aqua visits the region to accomplish each of their mission, and that is to find Groudon and find Kyogre respectively. However, a new organization called Team Empyrean, said to stop Teams Magma and Aqua, searches ofor Rayquaza first before both Teams Aqua and Magma accomplish their mission.

You, a young trainer who lives in Paperbark Town, set on your own journey to become the champion of Sierra League. Unfortunate events is about to follow you as you set on your journey. Will you be able to carry through these challenges to reach your goal?

I'm really excited for this! I love how creative from what I believe is to be a terribly underrated hack HarvestCraft is, so already from the get go I'm hyped, haha.

The screenshots look good too so far. It looks like a standard "beat evil team, become champion" type of hack, and it looks really nicely done so far. The features are pretty cool too, I'm glad to see features like the time mechanic, berry/apricorn growth, and pokeball crafting added, I always found those features being a few of my favorites in HarvestCraft.

So yeah, good luck on this project. I can't wait to play it!

This sounds like it would be a good romhack

Yup it's a standard "beat evil team, become champion" type. The time mechanic is only used to be able to get berries and apricorn every hour.

Thanks. Still thinking if I should change the tilesets.

Update guys, sorry it's been a while.
I'm currently working on crafting script right now, and it's not finished yet.
Well here are some screenshots from the crafting script.

The tiles are not final yet.
One result may come from different recipes
Example, Nest Ball will need, (Red, Blu, Ylw), (Blk, Red, Red), or (Blue, Blue, Blue). (In any order)
Credits to FBI for his Button Detection in scripts ASM.

Thanks but, I like using the old tiles. Plus it is going to be hard to replace all tiles. I may change the tiles in the future. No one knows.

Thanks. It's not yet finished though. Kairos will have a different Poke Ball crafting cause you will have to place your own recipe.

Update


My hack will now have custom house tiles! They were drawn by me from scratch. Well, some of my tiles were inspired from other tiles so I'm going to include the tile makers in the credits.
