FireRed hack: Pokémon Lunar Version (Pre-Alpha version released!)

[5qwerty]

Ok here's some stuff I've got:

Spoiler:

East of Solaris(?):

Swamp place:

Place north of swamp place:

Also, for the warps between inside forest and not-inside forest, you can extend the path until it reaches the end of the screen (look at how Nintendo does it in Berry Forest).

If I'm being picky, I'd say you have some text to fix, mainly converting Pokemon into Pokémon, as well as knowing when to split textboxes with \p instead of \l (you do a good job of this earlier on). The ! boxes should have sound 0x15 as well.

I also feel that in your flashback scene, you can execute your script when walking through the door, instead of when you interact with the Lunar Wing, unless you plan on including text for both the mother and the professor.

After finally getting rid of Theta Emerald EX, I found myself some time to quickly play through this Pre-Alpha, here's a nice picture showing some problems with the flashbacks, lots of problems with the tiles/movement permissions/whatever, my personal observations and some suggestions.

Personal observations:
-It's unnecessary to have 2 messages saying that you got a Lunar Wing in Prof. Alan's Lab, in my opinion.
-The issue with the Player magically stepping over a door happens with every single door out of Novaris too, too lazy to pic them all.
-Lillipup should be able to learn the TM10, got it with Pickup and it can't.
-All the signs after the one in Route 2 were also useless, too lazy to pic them all.

Suggestions:
-Let us nickname our Riolu.
-R/S/E's Premier Ball Promotion (If you buy 10 balls of any type at once, you get a free Premier Ball).
-X/Y Experience-per-catch system.
-B/W's Reusable TMs mechanic.
-Sagiri's "Not so Hidden Power"
-Add at least a miserable potion in the path behind the fences in the southern part of Solaris Town, dude! ;_; ..
-Add at least a miserable potion in the "hidden" path at the south part of Route 2, dude! ;_;
-Consider allowing wild Pikachus to carry a Light Ball with a small chance, just like in Emerald.

I liked it overall, I saw plenty of times the idea of having a Riolu as the starter but the hack always dies before getting to anywhere, Pokémon Keyra was the last one that I remember. I'm curious to see how will you tell us the Cresselia VS Darkrai Plot, seeing Cresselia getting some love is quite strange nowadays.

I'll definitely be looking forward to the next versions, keep up with the good work!

Thanks for your comments and the bugs you've found, 5q and Lunos, I'll fix these soon! However it seems like people are not really interested on this ROM hack and I'm thinking about to just stop working on it, we'll see. Anyway here are some images from the next town.

I do think that this thread is a little inactive but I personally anticipate for this hack as much as I do for gaia or other.

Hey Kostas, I've played A LOT of ROM hacks and I must say I was really entertained and engaged on your game, even if it was only a Pre-Alpha. I hope you keep it up, buddy, I am excited to play more! Good luck!

Hack is still being developed??

 

[windvelasco]

Just because Lunos criticized your work doesn't mean it's not interesting. There's still people waiting for it like me. Come on man.

lol, I never said that. I'm glad Lunos did that. Also, if you didn't know, I'm working on another hack called Paleozoic Version, so yeah, it would be good to close this thread I guess.
