FireRed hack: Pokémon Twisted Mind

[JosefigGaming]

Oh My God! Looks amazing
Dem graphics, doe.
If I had one suggestion, which I do, it would be making the textboxes purple, it would fit great the titlescreen, therefore making it kinda of "the game's colour" i.e. fire red-red; sapphire - blue
Anyways, if you need scripting help, give me a ring ;)

[esperance]

Sweet backsprite for the player. It looks nice.

And I really like those glass floor tiles. They look awesome. :)

Also, in this image:

You need to add a space between "here," and "but". ;)

I MUST SEE MORE OF THIS STORY! THAT BASTARD WON'T GET AWAY WITH KILLING MY MOM!!

 

[JosefigGaming]

It's mind boggling if the intruder killed the hero's mother or if he simply kidnapped her.
From one point of view, the hero is 3 feet away from the thief, yet after he leaves he says "What did tha bastard do with my mom?"
From a second point of vision, the screen goes black, the mom sprite disappears and the thief says "Eh eh, strangely satisfying"
Note: Those aren't actual quotes, I'm too lazy to see their exact lines

I just love the graphics and the palettes. Custom graphics and palettes are hard to pull off, which is why I prefer keeping the graphics/palettes similar to the normal games, but you've done a great job! I'm not a fan of that "natural" tree placement you're using in your maps, but it looks pretty nice and goes well with your style.

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more updates, I love looking at your screenshots!

Thank you so much, Christos! I do understand that some of the members do not like the natural mapping, but I do combine that with nintendo-ish wild grass placement, just to mix the two styles together.

Thank you and sure you can help me *wink wink*. And as I said before, I'll make mutliple textboxes so the player can choose their favorite color.

Thanks! Well, I'm not saying Xerneas and Yveltal will be, in the game but I'm also not saying they won't be. If the situation presents itself I will probably insert them.

Thank you! And I saw this error right after I made a screenie, so that is totally my fault - it will be fixed!

Hehe, you'll just have to wait and see.

Looks amazing keep up the good work.

Thanks!


Updates!

I can now say that this hack is a two man job! The graphical part is naturally mine, while the scripting position is taken by JosefigGaming. He's just an amazing scripter and a great planner with great ideas.

So, I added a few details in the starting cave, so I added more spider webs and added some roots, while JosefigGaming made the great running shoes script seen below. Oh, and there's a running animation frame, just an eyecandy.

​

So, comments & criticism is appreciated!

Eye candy time!

Just wanted to show the newer version of the cave battle background and the inserted Zygarde the player can battle.

I think the dark colored background fits in better with the whole visual style of the hack.​

I didn't saw all these updates! Here are my thoughts:

Amelia's sprite is beautiful! The helmet and the palettes are what stands out on it. Good job!

The running shoes script is great. I like how it isn't "oh hey take these shoes bye", it actually has a context behind it.

The cave BG fits really well, I think it being almost entirely pitch-black is a very clever choice for a cave.

Since you are a man about graphics: I think the vanilla battle textbox (the one that says "What will [Pokémon] do?" etc) looks really ugly. You could change it, it's easy and gives a nice touch. Keep rocking!

am I able to find spritzee and Houndour?

 

[SINISTER TITAN]

I manage to get Houndour thru cheat, now I just gotta wait fer the update.

Mmmm... you cheater :P
As The Riddler said, there will be 100+ new Fakemons, so you guys COULD be a little more open minded about what Fire/Dark Pokemon to choose
But still, Houndor could be in the game

Thank you so much! In the screenshots below you can see the new battle textbox.

Spritzee definitelly, still not sure about Houndour.

I manage to get Houndour thru cheat, now I just gotta wait fer the update.

Again, I'm not sure if Houndour will be in, because the focus will be on the new fakemon.

Update-ish

We've hit a bit of a bump on the road, and the ROM was too unstable to continue hacking. But no worries, I've taken some time to re-do everything. I've also patched Jpan's Hacked Engine patch, which will give us more freedom to hack.

So, I've inserted a new battle textbox that may seem familiar to most people - the same one is used in ChaosRush's hack DarkViolet. Now, DarkViolet is cancelled, sadly and I wanted to pay a homage to this incredible hack by inserting this battle textbox.

The starting script is the cave is changed, as JosefigGaming and I thought an OW sprite of the mascot Pokemon would look better.

I've been inserting some battle backgrounds, some Fakemon and gen IV, V, VI Pokémon.

I also wanted to show the intruder's script in front of Orgate City's gym.

Comments, feedback, critique etc...is very appreciated.

Really looking forward to playing this hack. The screenshots look amazing. Great maps and the fakemon sprites are some of the best I've seen probably.

Also super bummed about Dark Violet ha

 

[anaphysik]

Hm, I would suggest that you avoid using *both* neoricemon and standard mons, since neorice's fakedex has a very internally-consistent style that's looks different from the standard mon style. I.e., neoricemon look excellent in their own right, but look a bit funny next to regular mons (as a simple comparison, all of the fakemon in Cyan match the regular style, and so don't look 'off' when juxtaposed with them). Maybe you think this isn't as important as increasing the mon variety, though? (Or it's just me that see a style difference? :P )

Anyway, definitely make sure you include the entire neoricedex (well, excluding the legendaries if they don't fit the story) even with the added regular mons, as there's a lot of cool critters in there and it'd be a shame not to get to use them!

Spoiler:

Kick-ass ring-tailed lemur? (Moucroon.) Do want!

 

[Mr.Wurmple]

I think you've done some great sprite-work.
Especially the "cat-like" thing. It's so cool!
Good luck !

 

[Dionen]

The only thing i would suggest is to mix the cave tiles.
Who doesn't love Kyledove tiles? Everyone loves them, but I think that you should not use only his tiles, cause it does not looks original. Everything else looks great. What happened to the mom?
ermahgerd more mystery

 

[~Trebuh~]

You never fail to amaze me! Story is really interesting and full of mysteries!
Looking forward to this! ^_^

Dont have much to say, maybe add few more tiles for the ground? like patches and stuffs. I understand that the tiles you used consumes a lot of space, I should know I inserted the same tiles myself back then haha. But hope you do find a way to get around with that.

Scripting wise, Cant say much but the first event really is excellent and interesting! Cant wait to play it myself!

*cough* Not a fan of fakemon *cough* But neoriceisgood's an exception. I find his fakemon too awesome, and of course your's too! But why only use one?

 

[Le pug]

Keep up the good work Riddler. Things are looking like they are going great. Loving the graphics you're choosing.
