FireRed hack: Pokémon Odyssey [Beta 3.5.4]

I think this romhack is really great! Probably one of the greatest ever when it's completed. Excited to see what comes next!
Much appreciated!
 
Update time! Update time!

Happy new year!
Two months without any updates? Let's fix that.


► ETRIAN VARIANTS - FOURTH WAVE

The third wave has been added in v3.5, and since we had a lot of ideas we decided to add a fourth and final wave of variant in v4.0.
Here's a sneak peek of the first half:

► EXTRAS
  • I've sped up the exp message during battle.
  • I've finished mapping the entire game

That's all for today. We'll probably release the final version by the end of February/Beginning of March, so stay tuned!
 
I am on my 3rd restart of Odyssey... I keep getting too excited seeing so many of my favourites and end up attempting to play with 30+ Pokemon. The Etrian forms are gorgeous and I am playing with as many of them as possible, not to mention the starters being included. Spearow is a long time favourite and I love his new look. I also spy a certain mushroom and its high speed fighting evolution on the Etrian forms in the update as well as a leek holding bird (JOY!!!).
I am going to have way too many Pokemon I want to train up again.....

The storyline is amazing. All these little threads to pull at. The Boss Pokemon are such fun to battle. I have lost so many times and still gone back to try again.

Thank you to you and your creative team for putting so many painstaking hours into such a massive project and for sharing it with us all. I look forward to playing the full game.

Hey Paco! First of all, thanks for your work! I just started playing and It's just beautiful!

Also, I want to mention that there appears to be some bug with the soft resetting. It works when on the title screen, but not in-game. I just wanted to let you know. I was trying to reset for natures. I'm not sure if this was mentioned at all or if it is built like that.

Anyways, keep up the good work!

It's not a bug, it depends on when you're trying to softreset
 
Hi! I just discovered your game and am loving it so far! I have come across a problem regarding the first stratum however. I'm trying to collect berries for the side quests, but even if I shake once at a time, all I get are oran berries or red flowers. I never get the other berry types.

I think you're just unlucky :/
Try to interact with plants with berries on them, cause they have a higher drop rate

So I think I figured out what it was. I switched from using Visualboy to MGBA and that seemed to help. Sorry for being annoying, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this game!
 
Hi! I'm fairly new to ROM Hacks and not super tech savvy just yet. I've been playing and just beat the 2nd stratum. Love it so far!

I was wondering, since the game is not finished, will I need to start from the beginning once the next version goes live? Or will there some way to add on the new features and pick up where I left off?

Thanks in advance!

You won't need to restart your game. If you want to use your old savefile on a new version you just have to make sure that the .gba and .sav file share the same filename (for example Odyssey.gba and Odyssey.sav) and that they are in the same folder. The emulator will do the rest.
 
Sorry, but I don't think I will 🤔
You're playing in the shoes of an already existing character, you're not meant to change its gender and/or name because of... reasons.
That is exactly what I'm saying it takes a lot away from the experience to be forced to be who you tell us to be no need to be snarky little lady.

That's just your opinion tho. There are tons of games with set names and characters, like God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Xenoblade, Hellblade (Senua) and so on.
I've never seen people saying <It's a shame I have to play as this guy named "Kratos", I wanted to call him "Mario">.
Odyssey is the same.
I want YOU to play in the shoes of this character I've created and follow her story, that's it. You may not like it, but that's the choice I made
 
Would be nice if we could choose/name our character not be forced to be you...
This is not the first hack to force you to play as a specific gender, while most hacks generally give you naming rights it is up to the developer and their vision to decide what character that you play as. And the devs vision was to make this hack with a specific character in mind like most games where the dev determines the name. I actually think this character convention worked for this hack myself and really shouldn't fault the dev team for their vision.
