FireRed hack: Pokémon Crystal Shards "The Return"

[jj_olli]

The things look really nice and the flowershop tiles from Emerald work perfect with the tiles from FireRed. I'm looking forward to the next Beta. Keep it up ;).

 

[Teddiursa™]

wow the return, i gotta play this! i done the 1st version

 

[JohnBoy617]

Keep up the good work Kike! But like Zel said, your underground DOES look like a mall.

 

[AntiRellik]

You could set your undergrounds map's weather to dark.
I remember that place being dark when playing GSC... Set the weather to dark XD or modify the pallete.

I have played Crystal Shards for quite a while... And NOW I find out it's a hack o.O

But I still think it's fantastic! I love it... Despite that door bug! I think it has been adressed before... You know, when you enter a building, the tiles above the door change =S

Still, I'm SO looking forward to it! =D

 

[destinedjagold]

sweet new tiles and screenies, Kike! :D
But I still think it would look best if you make those orange floors shiny and reflect the OverWorlds on those, but I think it's not quite easy to do so, but oh well...

Looking forward for more updates. ^^

I spot a little tile error on the fourth screenshot- but this hack is looking 'asdfghjkl YAY'~
Had to post XD I don't know... I'm just really excited for this ^_~ The screenshots look too awesome.

^destinedjagold, ooh, reflective floor WOULD be a nice touch, though it looks fine without that, interesting point~

lol the Underground looks more like a mall to me XP

Wasn't the underground kinda like a mall in the anime series?

Nice work thus far Kike, hope to hear more in the near future.

Hello people!
It's time for some hot screenshots!

It's the Bike Shop!

Hey, look at the new Gym! It's more pink now!

I already have won three badges? That's good!

These are all the screenshots that I'll show you today.
Also I've found a utilitie for the Pokémon News Machine: It will give some info about bug fixes, and release-related stuff. Isn't that cool?
The release of Advance Map 1.90 makes possible fly around Johto with a nice world Map!
That's all for now, Cya!

 

[BlackRainbow*]

Wow the new images looks great. I really like new Gym look. Keep up the good work

 

[Adammac]

Hello, I'm playing your hack, and I have one question. Where I can obnain the running shoes?

 

[zel 2.0]

Yep, I also like the pinkish look of the Gym, it's nicely done. Well, keep working Kike!

 

[Superjub]

This hack is looking awesome! Its really taking shape. The tiles look cool even though I still have'nt got round to completing beta 1. Even though i dont like the idea of it being a complete remake (since I've played silver and crystal loads of times), but I can live with it. I like your graphics better than Zels but Zels better than yours since its not a complete remake. I like them both equally :). I also like yours since it is a hack of emerald it has many things fire red does not have.
Anyway, good luck with the hack and the screenies look nice. The gym looks very good :)

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Hey, look at the new Gym! It's more pink now!

I thiny Whitney's hair shouldn't be purple right? It's should be red.

 

[Argent Crusader]

Really, it's hair color doesn't matter for the overworld sprites, because they use default palletes, it will be the most accurate color combination possible.
Also I'm quite bored of this hack **deletes all the hacking folder**


Joking!
Crystal Shards is going really good, I just have some annoying bugs, but they not interfer with the gameplay so much... Really, the hack is looking great, I'm looking forward to finish the B2, but I guess that will take a pretty long time, I'm just on Route 35, without all the scripts, and some stuff unfinished back in Goldenrod. The beta2 will be up to Cianwood, if it's possible, and you will see some cool new events occuring in the places between Goldenrod and Cianwood.

It's all for now. I will post some screenshots when I advance a bit on the mapping/scripting.

How far does beta 1 go?



.

Azelea Town.

Also K-S:

Are you gonna have the proper legendary dogs event from crystal(having to catch them first to get to ho-oh)?

Are you gonna use different text colours per town?

 

[Argent Crusader]

The Lengendary Dog event is not really a big deal for me, since emerald can make wild both Latios/Latias. The problem will be change the wild Pokémon, but I'll se what I do. Since in Crystal just Raikou and Entei are wild, they will be the perfect replacement for Latios/Latias.
And... Use diferent text colors per town? That's pretty unusual, also I never have seen that before... I don't think so...

 

[Cynic Kaka]

Wtf... I lost to rival, then ended up in Azela Town..
Also get rid of the black dots!

Look at your screenshots, They have different text colour.
This can be done in A-Text!

 

[Superjub]

you will see some cool new events

Yay, new events. It was getting kinda boring playing a game when everythings pretty muh the same as the original. Just a little question, even though its probably pretty obvious but is Eusine gonna be in it and when you get all three dogs you can get ho-oh (Good times. :classic:) If it did happen that would be cool :)

This hacks looking super fantastic :)
