Pokemon: Shadow of the Wastes

[kevcrash]

Okay, thanks Illuminknight. It's okay, I love that second one, and want to use it for the deep forest part of the game. I've downloaded Anvil Studio, so I will just do all the town music myself. ^^ So I guess we're joint musicians on the project now. :D

Now, for an update:
I seem to have finished the hero and heroine before being happy with Team Rocket.
So, here they are:

I'm hoping to get large pictures of them up just for looks. I drew them, and then sprited them based on the picture I drew. I'm going to redo Team Rocket based on the same principle, using pictures online, so you can all look forward to that (or not, whatever you like ;)).

EDIT: And also... Would my team like their own banners?

Not that I'd EVER be able to sprite but everything looks good on the sprites except their arms are a little too short. :) It's still good though!! Keep it!

 

[Iluminknight]

Thanks, great to know. I redid that one anyway because my friends liked it a lot, and added a few more instruments in there.

I also wrote the creepy piece you wanted. I think it's actually easier to write ominous sounding music than happy music lol :O. I'll send it to you right away, as soon as I fix a few things, and the newer version of the forest piece. If you need any tips with anvil studios I can give you a few pointers :), but I'm no expert haha.

Note: If you click File, then repair song, it will fix any errors the program made that might make the song sound strange, except of course if the program decides to hate you today :P. Sometimes Anvil Studios will make some notes go on forever or something (it sounds hilarious when it does that), and that will fix it.

Your hack is the best ive seen so far. Love the wobuffet robots

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

It's time for... more sprites! I have some Team Rocket sprites I made that I am now pretty happy with (wow, maybe I'm becoming a spriter!) so I'm going to put them up here for your viewing pleasure (lol):

I'm particularly proud of the last one (though it may need some touch-up later). I even got Meowth in. And let me tell you, it was difficult to make 15 colors stretch that far! >.< But, it was pretty fun.

 

[kevcrash]

Oh My GAWD!!! That is awesome Kaylee. The last one is EXTREMELY WELL DONE! Congrats! What's next for your sprites for your hacks. I'm gonna draw my sprites! :D
Love ya! No just kidding....... Or am I?

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

The next sprites? Maybe Ash, since I can just Google pictures to turn into a sprite. I have other sprites to do, but I'll have to draw and scan onto the computer before doing the transformation, so I want to stick with the stuff where I don't need to ask to use the scanner first. ;)

EDIT: I'm just waiting for some yellow remaker to ask to use that last one. :D

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE... Oh sorry singing hehe

Anyways I bet someone will want that Rocket sprite: IT'S AWESOME! So Ash is in this?

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

Yeah... amusingly enough (to me at least), he's just another hotshot wanting to take a crack at the Alaccian League, mostly. I love cameos... :D

 

[PokemonLeagueChamp]

Well, I wanted Jessie and James in Azure. willbill was right. I WANT THOSE SPRITES!!! I'll credit you for them if I can use them. :D

Yeah, those are great sprites.
Also,do you need help inserting the script?

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

^^" Kinda, yeah... Do you want me to just make an ips and send it to you as an attachment in a PM? Or here if I can't put attachments in PMs... >.<

Lol, if you know Kaylee then you know she keeps her word. Of course you're still in it!

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

o^-^o *is embarrassed by WillBill's compliment about keeping her word*

He's right though, I try very hard to stick with what I say I will do. I don't see why "being less active" would be an excuse to go back on my word.

To be honest, sometimes I'll go "inactive" a little, either because I'm working or because I need a break. Just don't sweat it.

 

[Iluminknight]

I haven't been on here in a few days, just wanted to check in? Any opinion on the dungeon music I sent you yet?

Well take care,
Iluminknight.

Okay, I have a question, and I'm a little afraid of the response (I don't really know how you all will react...).

No, I'm not quitting.

What I wanted to know, before I get too far with this, is whether or not people would like it if I made this a RMXP game instead of a hack.

My biggest reason being a desire to include most if not all of the official Pokémon to date, as well as my own custom "fakemon" including multiple evolutions of Eevee; new Eeveelutions are extremely difficult to implement in a hack as far as I know.

Of course, I still have the problem of trying to get the Light type in game, but since that was a problem with this as a hack as well, it really isn't a reason to keep me from switching over.

I would still thank any of my team who can no longer help in the credits if I did this.

There are also other special things I would like to do, if I can, in a RMXP game, but I don't want to say any in case they don't work out.

I just wanted feedback from all of you, though I would prefer to make this a game instead of a hack, because I don't want to hurt anyone by changing over. Also I ask now because I'm not really that far yet, and I want to decide for certain which I'm doing before I get much done.

Well, I'm not quite sure what a RMXP game is. I can use the context clues to find out though. So you're certain about this? How will you make it an actual game? Is Illumiknight going to be affected by this? I'm not sure what it is, but if you feel this is best I'll support you 100% through it! Like machomuu said, I'm your biggest fan ;)

 

[AmusedRaccoon]

Mm, I tried RMXP once, back when the idle brainstorming my boyfriend and I did for fun got the the point of "I want to try and make a real game out of this". So I downloaded it, installed it, ran it, and hated it.

That was from a game-making perspective, though. From a playing perspective I'm sure it would be all the same, as long as RMXP's emulation of a GBA emulator is... well, perfect. By which I mean (personally, anyway) the wrong font or the wrong sound would totally ruin it -- again, for me.

On the other hand, you can do some really amazing stuff without any of the constraints that ROMs have..
So I say go for it. I'd still play it. ;D

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

I tried a bit of the test run that was made by the starter kit I picked up. On the options menu you can pick from fonts that, if not perfect, certainly look like fonts from the Pokémon games to me. There are, actually, more options on the options menu than on Pokémon games, which I think is cool.

Also, though it will take time, I can give things a big graphical upgrade, since I can use more than 16 colors and the sprite size is larger (I love pretty graphics, I really do). I can make my fakemon without having to get rid of official Pokémon. And maybe even add some of the official regions for your exploring pleasure (after all, it is, in part at least, an exploring game...).

Anyway, I'm pretty enthusiastic about the possibilities. I'm hearing scepticism, but not really any complaints... which is good, since complaints would have been really discouraging.

I still would like to hear from some of my other supporters - especially my earlier ones like Jhoto Legend and Poke - on the subject.

@AmusedRaccoon - It's really good to hear you'd still play. I feel like if I make my idea on RMXP I can make it more like my real vision of Alacci, so hopefully you won't be dissapointed.


Yes, if I do this, I need to ask for the thread to be moved, and take care of all the informative things. I will do that once I'm 100% sure... right now I need more feedback. Perferably the constructive and explanitory kind, which is what I have gotten so far (thanks everybody who has talked to me both publicly and privately about this).

 

[kevcrash]

Wait! How do you play an RMXP game? Like what emulator? It's nice to hear that the graphics are going to be a lot better.
