Hey guys, I apologize for not giving you an update, but not much has been done yet. I'm currently working on scripting all the beginning events. I got most of them scripted, but I am not pleased with what I chose for the people to say. So, I am going to try to rewrite it. Maybe I'm just not very creative :p
But anyways, I've been on vacation for 9 days visiting family, so I haven't been able to work much on the hack. I've had my laptop, but it annoys the crap out of me having to use the mousepad to place tiles and stuff. lol. So I will get the beginning scripted, and all the house insides mapped, and I may release a 'beta' or 'alpha' whatever it is termed of the beginning part, to show that it is being done. I may only release the first city and the route, but maybe the second city, the graveyard, and the windmill valley, along with the second route. If I decided to release the second city also, I'd be required to script and map all he buildings. Would take a bit of extra time. I have school starting soon, which will also hinder the speed at which the hack is completed.
In the first city, you hear from your mother that professor oak has been murdered! She tells you about it, and says whom of 8 people it could have been. She said that it's about time you moved out on your own and started working. You've already gone to school to learn how to be a detective, and your mother tells you to seek out the retired detective next door. After talking to him, he tells you about how you can do the mission; to find who murdered professor Oak. Lucky for you, he is retired and took on the hobby of pokemon breeding in his old age. He will give you one of three starters. It will be random, and he will not tell you what it is... he just asks if you want it. He will then tell you that he can only gie you one pokemon and you will have to catch others on your own, and gives you 5 pokeballs. He then tells you about the pokedex on his desk. Professor Oak gave him the pokedex shortly before being murdered. To show respect for professor Oak, his goal is to complete the pokedex. He gives this job to you, as you will be exploring and meeting new pokemon. Upon recieving all your neccessities to becoming a pokemon training (as you need to be one to solve the mystery) the police man who would not let you out, will now let you exit and move on to route 401.
Route 401: Few trainers, and about 5 windmills which supply electricity to the towns.
2nd city: There's a gym, a big building which will be made into a hotel or hospital of business, there is a pokecenter and a mart. To the left of the town is a windy valley which has windmills placed there for electricity. There is grass which is full of pokemon. Above the city, to the left is a graveyard. Also in the city, is a tunnel, which was used by a dead serial killer. The tunnel is locked. It leads to route 402. The tunnel was locked by the serial killer before he died. The police guarding the tunnel tells you that it is dangerous to be near it as it is easy to slip and get hurt. It's his job to not let people go near. It is locked anyways and there is no point, he says. He notices you are a detective and sends you on a quest to investigate and find the key. After talking to a few different people you should have a good idea where the murder's grave is. The key is hidden somewhere near. Upon finding the key, you may go through.
That's basically it so far. Rate? opinions? Criticism? Suggests?
Edit: and when I say thats basically it, I mean, more than that is done... many other town maps are complete.
And most of the scripting for the events stated above have been almost completely scripted.
