Hey Epitaph how are you doing. Sounds like you are doing a lot of work on your phone. That sounds like tough work. :(
Remember I really do support your hack and its the first one that I support on my list. If you need any help just pm me, but it sounds like you have a lot of supporters now, so I dont think that I could do that much anymore. :) Talk to you later.

It's not easy, but it's totally worth it. Thanks MrElephant, you're a good friend.

Sounds great Epitaph93 can't wait to see the new sprites.

I'll try to post them soon.

Great arena sprites absolutely love them.

I totally agree. DiamondBlueMoon is a beast at tiles.

Update: I made the team a Dropbox account so we can pool all our resources into one place. I spent today and last night uploading everything there so that no matter what happens the hack will continue. DiamondBlueMoon has accepted to be our newest team member. That makes three of us now. I'll be adding a team section to the OP soon. I've asked stocko to weed out the bugs of the game so that the first release will be a nearly unchanged firered rom. DiamondBlueMoon will probably be our primary tile editor. I'm going to start working on dialogue and continue with stats. I haven't done much with stats in about 2 weeks, so I should probably get on it :P if anyone wants to help me with stats I would appreciate it, because the stats are honestly the main reason we haven't had a release yet. So the sooner we get the stats decided the sooner we can release this thing.

That's actually our primary site for sprites lol

Update: I tallied up how many digimon sprites we have finished and it's about 186, probably a little more though. So I updated the list of digimon and removed a few things from the OP. I added a team section at the beginning and I'll be cleaning up the OP a little more tonight. Stocko is beta testing the hack at the moment and DiamondBlueMoon is doing tiles/OverWorlds. I'm going to put some of my ideas down and figure a couple things out on paper. I'll update with that information in a few days. It has to do with story/events/needed sprites and a few other things.

Edit: I worked on this stuff but I think I'll keep it to myself for now. I don't want to spoil the game too much.

I imagine a big problem will be the names of Digimon, as a hack contains only 11 letters (if I remember correctly), then just a few names will be shortened, I liked the idea very cool, I had already seen some hacks with this subject but no continued, hopefully at least get a beta, I just think you should have on your team to make a tilespriter tiles for you.

Sounds great Epitaph93 can't wait to see the new sprites.

[djonthe1st!]

Sweet

I honestly can't wait to play this hack

 

[rakireid]

Nice progress also cant wait to play this awesome hack :)

 

[Epitaph93]

What do you guys think about adding a key item that degenerates your digimon? Say you have a Greymon, but you would rather have a DarkTyrannomon. You would use the Degenerator to change Greymon into Agumon, then dark digivolve Agumon to BlackAgumon, then level him up to DarkTyrannomon. EVs/Moves/Gender would remain in tact. Should I do that or is it a little too much?

 

[edman]

digimon

If you can get a chance can you read this please coz i think you might like i add to you storyline at the start

 

[codykongdabear]

Honestly i think thats a bit much for now. i like how you have it now how stats effect digivoling and you cant go back. adds a challenge to it and makes you really pay attention to how you raise them. now after a few betas and you have more people behind you on this i would ask this question again. but right now i think that would take away from the charm of raising a bunch a fresh digimon to different digivolutions

I think that the item would be a good idea, Epitaph. But I'm also agreeing with codykongdabear because of it removing some of the challenge. Maybe make it so that the item is a one use item and is not too common to come a across? It keeps most of the challenge and still allows you to degenerate.
Rather than being a key item make it just a regular item and you could have some form of puzzle hidden somewhere in each of the towns and the item can be a reward, this limits the number of items to about 8. The item could be in a tomb? Something that does illuminate the "ancient times" as someone said before. The tombs could also link to the main storyline. Maybe even have a secondary storyline that doesn't need to be fulfilled to "complete the game".
Just thought I should share some ideas :)

EDIT: I also thought about maybe it having a bad side effect to the user, something like the degenerated digimon loses some of it's stats (HP, attack, etc) or maybe make it more prone to dark digivolving or something like that.

 

[DiamondBlueMoon]

Well, maybe the degenerator will turn off the meaning of the slogan: Gotta catch 'em all. :D If you wanna get a new Digimon, you have to catch and train it again.
Anyways, I'm thinking of a story branches. In the middle of the main story, you can go to either Dark Master's side or Digidestined's side. that'll make the story more adventurous!
I made a Digicenter and a Digimart tile :D. I'm attaching a screenshot as soon as stocko input them :D

 

[Epitaph93]

Well I was thinking of putting it in as an endgame item so that people could more easily fill the digivice after the full playthrough. But I like stocko's idea about them being rare and challenging to get so that's probably what we'll do. The stats changing might be a bit difficult to implement but I'm sure we could figure it out.

I agree we should have multiple endings DBM. Although it would probably be easier to make a complete central story first, then include branches later on in development. That way players won't have to wait so long for a release that progresses the story.

How do you guys think dark digivolution should affect stats? I was thinking it could increase offense/speed, decrease defense/HP, and increase base exp. I would also like to find a different way to perform dark digivolution. Right now it's done with a stone, but I think it should be more spontaneous than that. Maybe by happiness? But that might conflict with digivolution based on stats/levels.

 

[stocko]

Happiness sounds like the best way to me, Epitaph. It would conflict though, mmm... might have to somehow make it so that happiness outweighs stats, or something along those lines.

I do not know if this is possible but maybe if it is a certain nature it will dark digivolve say for example if you catch a naughty nature agumon it will dark digivolve.
