Emerald hack: Pokémon CrystalDust [v3 PUBLIC ALPHA]

I knew it you are there Diego and you came back really. Any apologies you made accepted at once (At least by me). Now congrats on being on the 2nd place. (Who won the first place coz I never checked). Now can you update Shining opal more now that you came back
Dude! How can you NOT check the most important event of ROM hacking section?!
Obviously Light Platinum won (because everyone wanted it finally out of nominations xD).
 
I decided to give this hack a try after seeing the screenshots of it. Although i haven't reach the first gym leader yet, i can tell by all the details regarding the environment and the character models that a lot of work was put into this. The sounds of everything is magnificent, and the lights of the houses at night really make this game stand out from the rest. Even the main character's sprites are beautifully done. I will provide you more feedback once i advance more into the game. Overall, this is the best hack i have played so far because of the quality of it

Thanks for the comment! And about the year: 2012 is the year I released Beta 2, so it's going to stay 2012 until I update it to Beta 3.

The issue with Shining Opal is that I haven't really been working on it as much as I'd like. But once I have some big news, I'll inform everyone about it.
welcome back~!
no matter why u drop off, you finally back.
Your smooth character design is the biggest spotlight(for me)
its the time you should be the top one!
Thanks for the praise!

Thanks for your feedback!
this might call real demake of cystal!
Uhh... what?

Anyways, today's post is about a small new update that probably doesn't affect many people: the stuff that happens when you lose to Silver and the choice boxes that overlap the textbox (the day of the week and the apricorns). I've added in the gloating text for Silver and the fact that you can lose the first battle against him and still continue playing. Also, the choice boxes scroll down instead of overlapping the textbox.

Download the new patch from the same link as usual (in the first post).
 
I've a question regarding pokemon evolution o.o
At which lvl evolve those pokemon which are supposed to be transferred to another game in order to evolve? (Kadabra -> Alakazam, Scyther -> Scizor, etc...)
Ps Great work you did, this game is awesome.

I tried applying the patch to my rom, yet when I pull it up on my vba, it doesn't show anything, just a white screen
 
Hey! Diego...
Good Going with the CrystalDust...
I was thinking, is it possible to add the level up effect(the blue things or lines that pop up around pokemon while leveling up) from firered to crystaldust...
I know its a small detail but since u r making it FR style, it would be nice...
Good Luck! & keep us updating...

I think you should redownload the patched you did so before today, because...

Today I bring you guys the Indigo Plateau Update!
Changes:
1. Made the Indigo Plateau and the rooms of the Elite Four and Champion resemble more closely their GSC counterparts. Credits to Project Platinum for making the new rooms and to tonti for egging me on to import them.
2. Finally fixed the tiny bugs with the legendary beasts (bad sprites and wrong cry order).
All I can say is have fun!
 
Even though i have already beaten the Elite Four, i am still enjoying the game by exploring it more. The small updates that you keep making is worth it because it shows you really care about the game and the people that play it. I am glad to see this kind of responsibly. I must say that this hack is the best i have ever played! :)
 
Nice 2 more reasons to try the newest beta xD

Btw can u check if u lose gold after losing the 1st battle to Silver in Crystal, i tried the new patch and after losing to him i still had 3000
 
@Diego
1. Why can't we get into the bed at home(New Bark Town)? It's blocked, i can't go to sleep, lol...
2. I think, the overworld sprite for Gold(Hero) can get a little more better.
3. BTW, have you considered about adding some move tutors for 3rd Gen moves since CD contains all the TMs from the original 2nd Gen Crystal...you can add some of the move tutors aroud johto & kanto just as Firered did... I think, it will not hurt the authenticity of the game as its Gen 3 remake.
 
Awesome to know that my sprites are in. I'm glad you liked them. ^^ Also, a massive congrats on the awards- they're very well deserved. :D I think I might try out the newest version right now- I'm quite curious as to what the League looks like now and it seems to have been a while since I last played. xD
 
I wonder if anyone caught any shiny pokemon this hacks lucky i had some shiny pokes

Edit:

Well since lc is discontinued this hack is the last remake thats still active i hope this gets completed as it is the most stable top quality hack i ever played :)
