    Oh, I will expect a lot(two words) from this hack! ;)

    Best of luck and expect that when the Beta's ready, I'll be lurking in the shadows to snatch it! :D

    As always, keep it up! ;)

  • My only criticism would come in the way you are doing your scripts.
    It all looks too familiar to the basic layout of every pokemon game.

    It's as if you aren't changing the scripts at all, rather just editting the text of the scripts that are already there.

    Remember to be creative and you'll be succesful. Your maps are decent and the palette is nice.

    Hex Editing isn't that hard, and it's the most safest way, guarenteed. One, because Pet is glitchy and because two, it is actually changing the data within the hack. All you need is Thingy32, just find the values of the trainers Pokemon and edit them. It goes in this order: Trainer/Pokemon/Level/Item.

    Anyways, as someone said previously you should have a look at the mapping tutorial. Your maps are too square, make sure you take note of the borders, because if you don't they will interfere with the background and you might end up with half a tree then a normal tree.

    Also, I don't beleive you should release a beta just yet until you've changed a few more maps, and alot of scripts have been inserted. Plus your palettes need changing aswell. The shades of green you used don't match with the other colours. Try to get the original colours and change them a bit. Anyway, don't give up on it. Good luck.

  • I don't believe you should release a beta just yet .
    Actually, it's pre alpha, which I believe is a good idea to judge the hack better, since it's not very easy to judge a hack by the screenshots only.
    So how long is the alpha?

    xray, as I stated in the beginning of my last post, I wasn't trying to be rude, even though constuctive critism often sounds like it. My advice was sound, and I've been around the PokeCommunity hacking scene a bit longer than you, so countering by saying you are ahead of me in scripting is a foolish statement seeing as you have no basis to come to that conclusion. I gave you my thoughts on how to help you improve. I had no ill feelings toward you or your work until you began an arguement. I just wanted you to realize you needed improvement. That's all. As for my "history" of being a critic, if you read more carefully you would have seen that I gave advice, not insults. I tried to be helpful, not counter-productive on every occasion. You seem to forget that the best ideas and inventions never got off the ground without feedback, good and bad, that holds true for hacks as well. You should have taken my critism and considered the advice I gave you before getting angry and starting an arguement.

    On a more ontopic note, your first town does look empty. You have no paths, every grass tile is the same, your map is quite square and there are large amounts of wasted space. Again, my advice is to read the Mapping tutorial found in the Documents and Tutorials section and try it again. Also, I've written a small guideline on an easy way to map that makes maps with empty space look better in a previous post, I'll link you to it here. Perhaps it can help you improve.

    This just echoes what I've said before: He's not trying to insult you. He just wants to give you constructive criticism.

    Like at the bottom of his post. he didn't say "your mapping skills suck"
    he told you what he thought was wrong with the map, and what could make it better.

    and on a sidenote:
    The 'criticism' thread is not a thread to post about individual hacks and say what is wrong or right with them....it's not a general overview of hacks over the years and what things have collectively improved or gotten worse.
    If Deokishisu randomly posted his thoughts about your game in that thread, it would be spam.

    Anyway, I'll be keeping my eyes open for updates. Hope to see some good stuff
