FireRed hack: Pokémon Cosmos

[Wobb]

PokemonCosmos

Hack of Pokemon FireRed 1.0

Hey, guys! It's me again, and this time I've got a hack that I know won't die like my 5 million other hacks! Pokemon Cosmos! I quit most of my hacks because I was terrible at scripting, but now, I'm better, and I'm going to make this hack the best one ever. I'll also try to not break the game all the time. I'm the best at breaking things.

In Pokemon Cosmos, you play as a Pokemon, Clefairy. You've lived your whole life on the moon, watching the Earth spin around, but everything changes when you find a Cosmog in your home. Cosmog is lost, and needs help getting back to his own home, so, like a good Clefairy would, you tell him you'll help find it. However, an earthquake (moonquake?) occurs and sends you flying across the universe, and you wake up in Starzone Galaxy.
The Ultra Beasts (Nihilego, Pheromosa, Buzzwole, Xurkitree, Kartana, Celesteela, Guzzlord, Poipole, Naganadel, Blacephalon, Stakataka) are also in Pokemon Cosmos, and they're causing trouble. They want to capture your friend, Cosmog, but you can't let them! They'll chase you across the universe. Can you and Cosmog get home, and stop the Ultra Beasts? Play the game and find out! Travel through many different galaxies with Cosmog, and with the ability to take over other Pokemon's bodies! There will be lots of puzzles in the game, and they can all be solved with the help of other Pokemon.​

Oh my gosh! This looks absolutely wonderful! The screenshots seem quite promising and I like how you decided that we'd play as a Pokemon instead of the traditional "I wanna be the very best" storyline. This reminds of Pokemon Super rising thunder. Ahh! Good luck!

 

[Delta231]

Looks nice. Good luck.

 

[gail]

This looks kinda unusual.I look forward to try this

Hey guys! I've been making some more progress!
1. I've been animating tiles. I've animated lily pads and stars. Here's how they look.

2. I've also been scripting! Here's a script of Nihilego escaping!

3. I've made some sprites that I want to use when someone is talking, like Mega Power, Adventure Red, and some other hacks. But I'm not going to start using them until I finish Cosmog and Clefairy's sprites.

4. I've been mapping too!

Spoiler:

 

[Symo]

wow, this looks amazing wobb! Keep up your work, the animated stars looks really kewl.

 

[Wobb]

More progress! :D
I've been remapping and rescripting the game! Now it's even prettier and the scripts are better! Now, the world feels so much bigger!

 

[Mystelex]

Looking great! The stars! :thumbs:

 

[Wobb]

Woo! Here's another map!

Spoiler:

Here's what it used to look like:

Spoiler:

On this planet, you jump on rocks. There are some shortcuts that you can use to get to the center of the planet faster.
I'll be scripting soon. I'll probably edit the post later to show the scripts.

Edit: Added new music! Both from Super Mario Galaxy! (Comet Observatory & Good Egg Galaxy) Thanks Bliz <3

This is very interesting, looking forward to try this hack. Good luck

It's like a friendlier Distortion World!

The game premise is a nice change from collecting badges and beating an evil team. And you have a good combination of official, retouched, and original graphics. I like the details like purple flowers and two shades of tree.

Looking forward to a playable beta. :)

Hey guys! I didn't get much done today, because I spent all day trying to figure out how to insert music!
I found a tutorial, but I was getting so confused, so I just decided to mess with Sappy and hope something good happened.
:D Finally, I inserted a song correctly, it's working, and it sounds awesome!
So, you know yesterday somebody inserted Super Mario Galaxy's Comet Observatory Music for me. Well, the music was looping too early.
And now, here's what I did! :D

(O. I just noticed that something's too loud. I'll fix)

Oh, and another thing. I'm adding Stardust, which is just a clone of Star Bits from Super Mario Galaxy. You'll be collecting these things on every planet you visit, and use them for lots of things. :)

 

[Disturbed]

I really hope to see all these galaxies you've been working on filled with interesting things to do and look at, especially since your approach to this hack is going to be pretty unique compared to everything else we've seen. You'll need to find new and interesting ways to keep things fresh and fun for the player, and I'm excited to see how you pull it off.

 

[Eon Lucifer]

Oh Good Lord this looks beautiful. If you need any beta testers, I'm up for the job.

 

[Wobb]

Hi, everyone. So, I've been hiding Stardust all over the place, but I'm using a lot of flags for them. (To hide their sprites when you've collected them and make sure they don't come back)
Their flags are cleared when you leave the planet though, so that I can reuse them for the next planet. But, you can travel back and forth between planets. So if you leave the planet, and then come back, all the Stardust that disappeared will come back, allowing you to collect unlimited Stardust.
I want to use Stardust the same way Super Mario Galaxy uses Star Bits. To unlock new galaxies and planets, and to buy things. There will also be stars that you can get for collecting all the Stardust in the galaxy, like the 100 coin stars in Super Mario 64 & Sunshine.
So, would you rather not have stardust at all and be able to go backwards?
Or.. Keep stardust, but only have one way travel between planets. You won't be able to revisit passed planets until you leave the whole galaxy and come back.

 

[Disturbed]

Is there anything stopping you from turning Stardust into a standard item, but instead of awarding you an item, it gives you money instead? And maybe you can change the currency label into "Stardust" instead of "Money" or whatever. I feel like that'd be easier to do as a whole.

That's what I'm doing. :)

Hey, guys. I'm back with more new stuff.
- I'm still doing stuff with Music. Starzone Galaxy (the first galaxy you visit) uses a sort of edited Gateway Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy) music. I also added the music from Gusty Garden Galaxy, which I will be using in a.. special.. place. :)
- I've decided to have Stardust, but have travel between planets only be one way. Don't think you won't ever be able to revisit planets though, because once you leave the galaxy, you can go to the planets again.
- I've started a new galaxy. It's some desert galaxy. It has no name yet. Right now, it's only Rock Tunnel's tileset but brown. Soon, there will be cacti and stuff.
Here's a map showing the tiles.

Spoiler:

I also have a question. After completing the beginning events and you find out about your spaceship, how many galaxies should be available from the start? 1, 2, or 3? What do you think?

 

[Piloswine]

This is so unique. And the maps are really beautiful. I'm certainly looking forward to play it.

 

[Mosmero]

Maybe you can use the Dusty Dune Galaxy theme for that desert planet :3
