Contest: PokéCommunity Hack-off: Team 1

How about a secret island.

My idea was just an island, with a mansion, and a garden to explore.

Makes it easier to set up a mystery setting, where the player has to explore everywhere to get all the clues.
Having to many areas, such as parts of a region would make there be too much for the player to look around.
 
But it would make the game longer. For the island I thought there could be a spy school, a village, a. garden and a mountain
 
I made a basic map of what I think the island should look like but it's on paper qnd I'm REALLY not supposed to be up right now so taking a pic would be a bad idea.

But basically is three small towns, a forest, and a mansion alright?

Town A: Has the spy school institute and the dorms for it, a Pc, and a mart so far.
Route 1: Is a route. Town A----???Forest
??? Forest: A forest you go through to get to the mansion. We'll have loke Pidgey and stuff here for the player to get a Flying type considering they might Fly around a lot to find the clues?
Route 2: Another very short Route. ???Forest ------Mansion
The Mansion: Of course this is the scene of the crimes. A Flying Spot should be put here for easy access.
Route 3: Another short Route. Mansion-----Town B
Town B: Some Clues and such could be found here.
Route 4: Another short Route. Town B----Town C
Town C: Something you find here tells you to head back to the Mansion.
Route 5: Another short Route. A shortcut without Fly from Town C-----Mansion.
 
Why nobody tell me the existence of this thread?
Okay, I really like the idea of Looker, this sprite can be useful:
[PokeCommunity.com] PokéCommunity Hack-off: Team 1

(Indexed to 16 colors)
And we need a new graphic style, because I don't like a generic FR style, In a moments I'll share a scan with a tileset style.

And because nobody guess me, I can help with the sprites, maybe make a tiles, battle BGs and other gfx's.

OFFTOPIC: @Bill Cipher, why your sigpic reminds me New Bark Town?
 
Unfortunately, I am currently unable to do ROM Hacking. I am unable to use a computer ATM, so I am using my Android tablet to send the message. I hereby resign from this year's Hack Off.
 
Ruki- Yay you did it! *does the did it dance*

PoK3Matr1x- Aw..... You don't have to directly be in the hacking.... You could find resorces and stuff if you wanted. :(

Awww, that sucks.

I'll still leave your name in the Team, just incase you can comeback.. c:
 
Alright, i am able to continue. I am using a crappy laptop with windows 7.
 
Hey, how's everything going?
 
Hey, how's everything going?

Well Bill got the map done based on a drawing I did and Ruki made the Trainer Sprite for Looker. Ruki found the thread. Also PoK3Matr1x couldn't help hack but now he can.
Yup, that's about it.
 
Guys..... My dad said we aren't allowed on the laptop for a while because there's too much junk on it. I donmt know when I can get back on. I'll still get on PC using my phoen of course, but that means Imm basically stuck to storyline and resource finding. ;_; So no mapping or scripting for me.....
 
So I'm not the only one with an overwhelming sense of 'WE'RE GUNNA B LATE GUIZ'?

I will look for what we need, like P/S split tools and what not. 3:3
 
We'll still need a backsprite and ow for Looker, battle sprites for Croagunk, whatever the new tiles you wanted in Ruki, are we using new music?, we need to put the maps up in a spoiler once they are ready, and there needs to be a clear idea of what the crime is.
 
First, what type of music we need? I can put my Kanto HGSS music, but I don't know if you wanna like them, And I wanna try to make the other sprites, maybe be ready tomorrow or the next monday.

I have a bunch of tilesets to use, what style we like use?
 
While playing a game I don't usually care for the music or tiles, I just want to play, so I'll let you all decide on those. ^.^U
Great, looking forward to seeing the sprites!

Should there be a frontier like place? Just a random little thing by the boat port maybe for people who like the game and want some postgame?.......

Who ever can map, start now. I can't map or script because of my computer. I'm using my tablet to chat right now.
 
Bill will have to map, we were going to show off the maps me and her made but now that I can't get on my laptop Bill will need to. Unless Ruki or PoK3 want to map or something.
 
Alright. 13 days. At least 1 day for testing. That leaves 12 days for making.
