Despite there being a post in the past month, it was deleted and thus is invalid. So I'm afraid this counts as thread revival, Meri-tje :(

Frostbite, if/when you want this reopened, contact either myself or colcolstyles.

For the past few months I haven't been working on Azure Horizons at all due to the fact that uni and my job has given me very little free time to work on other stuff. However, I'm on holiday from uni for a month so I'll be dedicating as much time I can to the hack. With that, here are some updates.

I've recently gotten the hang of music hacking so tracks from other video games will be in the hack. Here's the theme for the Elite Four in Azure Horizons (which is the theme from B/W's E4).

I've also edited the battle interface as well.

Spoiler:

As for the sprites, almost all of the Pokémon front sprites have been edited and replaced with their fourth or fifth generation counterparts, palettes and all.

Cheers.

Great to see this hack back up and running; Can't wait to see any more improvements to Azure Horizons...one of the first hacks I've played here.

Good luck with your hack and happy holidays! :D

Three cheers for Azure Horizons!
Along with rijonAdventures & Sienna, this is one of the few hacks that is straightforward and fun at the same time! I got scared when this thread was locked...

PS. Since B1 had 2 gyms and B2 had 4, will B3 have around 6 gyms?
Seems like a pattern here.

Since a beta wasn't released this year I'm not sure how long it will be up to. I like the Elite Four battle remix, Pokemon Platinum HP Bars, and the decapitalized Pokemon names update that appear. I guess day and night will be another feature in game since I saw red, probably evening, in your video battling against Wallace, I guess it will also affects battles like in the 4th and 5th generation too which is what I also like.

I tried to give a thunderstone to my Eevee, but I wasn't able to. Came up as no use.

Hope I can play this on my phone, will post screenshot if successful.

How much of the game is in the latest Beta ? And If I start the Beta, will I be able to use my old save for the final game ?

Where can you find a Skitty? I've looked everywhere. x-x

I have the same problem, I've been looking for hours at the area of grass just after azure town.... which someone told me is where you're supposed find skitty but no luck so far :(

Anyone have any other info about skitty?

I played the old beta on my phone with gameboid, the save file wouldn't load but I could transfer the quick save from my emulator. I just renamed the quicksave file to the latest beta file name and it saved all my progress and let me play the new version.

Bug

I think this is a bug, or I didn't do something though, but the Slowpoke and the kid won't move when I get the Pokedex. I saw a Walkthrough and he said that in his Practice Run the Slowpoke kid didn't move.

 

[Tru Eagle]

Definitely interested in doing a run through of this game on my youtube.

 

[FusedFulkron]

I also had the slowpoke problem D:
