Hey, everyone! Long time no see.
Short update as I guess it's due, just before the holidays I got a new job where I work 12 hour shifts, so I haven't had nearly as much time to work on the hack as I'd like to. Therefore, I apologise for this post being very underwhelming!
For some reason when I try to update the thread, it won't save, meaning all the screenies are VERY outdated =/. I think I'll have to delete and recreate the thread soon, but I just don't have the time at the moment.
As far as the game goes, I've been experiencing some ASMissues (I'm no expert!) which results in the player OW constantly switching to another when using the start menu. Until I learn how to fix this issue, I will release each of the prologues separately in different patches to avoid this unfixable glitch.
Speaking of glitches, there are a couple in this teeny-tiny preview:
- The JOURNAL item is not in any way implemented - this is because I am working on this feature in another ROM and don't want to implement it until everything is finalised!
- A certain puzzle script was hard to write, if you encounter any errors please let me know when and how this occurred
- I know the music is odd and misplaced; I'm currently trying to learn how to compose custom music and insert. Until I get better at music editing I'm stuck with the OST =p
- No matter which character you select at the start, you will always be Kala. INTENTIONAL. However, picking a different character than Kala will result in you playing as her but having your name set to the selected character; this is because I am hoping to have all the characters selectable in the game when I get the ASM fixed.
- The titleacreen is still FireRed as I dont have the required skills to edit this.
Again, I realise that it's probably pretty underwhelming, but there is so much more done in-game than what's available to play! The prologue is just meant to set the scene; this is a TEST so it's probably not suitable for LPs or anything yet. I worked really hard on every aspect of this little feature from constructing custom, never-before-seen exclusive tiles, oldy-worldy dialog, animated tiles, ancient inspired textboxes and fresh new OWs.
There is so much more gonna be done when I eventually have more time on my hands; I hope I'll get to finish Evandor and Zhafira's prologues (which will be more substantial) in the future. Until then, I hope everyone enjoys this taste of what's to come, and as always, thanks times a thousand for your support; I appreciate it more thanyou know =)
Here is the release for Kala's Prologue; patch to a clean FR! And make sure you choose KALA at the start!
