Thread Name: [GBA-FR]Pokémon Shining Waters/Hazing Flames (Upd 21.10.)

Base: Fire Red (English)




Introduction

Hey, I'm Reshilegend, the co-owner of this hack. It was started by Papayaperson and I joined "Project Steam" to help with the graphics. Project Steam is kind of an abbreviation of the hack that will have two versions, Shining Waters and Hazing Flames. So, what can you expect from this? Read this thread and you'll know :]

The beginning of the story

You awake one morning to find that you are late to meet the famous Prof Karri with your friend, Lars. After visiting his home, his older sister tells you he left to go to Shinygrove City and encourages you to get the as fast as you can to bring him a something he left at home. Upon leaving the town, a lab aid catches you and tells you that you shouldn't go into Route 1 without a Pokemon. He takes you into the lab to give you one, and then he sees that wild Pokemon broke in and are attacking Prof Karri! He pushes you towards them and tells you to do something. You
manage to scare the Pokemon away and the Prof tells you how dangerous it was for you to do that, and gives you a Pokemon to properly protect yourself in the future.
That's how the journey begins... How will it end? Fight your way through the brute force of Team Next, defeat the Gym Leaders, and prove to Lars and your older sister, Piper, that you can become the League Champion!

Team Next

Team Next is an organization of workers form the NextClear Power Co., a company working in Charpa to provide the region with all-natural and efficient energy. The group that calls themselves Team Next is revolting against the company, and is replacing their expensive all-
natural energy supply with a much cheaper alternative, and they are using the waste from their new means of energy production to do experiments on the Pokemon in Charpa. Their goal is unknown, some think it is to make many while others think that that's part of a more elaborate scheme. How will Team Next's actions affect the region of Charpa? What ends up being
their goal?

(story written by Papayaperson, will be updated and continued, of course)

Help us!

We really need spriters, maybe more scripters, and people who can make music for our hack. Also, people who help with Fakemon names, stats, movesets etc..
Right now what we need the most are good spriters.
Please, if you're interested, message me! It's also a way of improving your English skills, I guess ;)

Current team:

Reshilegend - Mapping, Tile Inserting, Fakemon designing and spriting
Nix - Sappier (Music)
& Pointero - Scripter, busy right now, will script next year (?)


Gracias por leer! (Google translate.. Hope that was correct xD)

I can insert all the sprites that you want, if you are interested talk to me in my profile, well my opinion of the sprites its a 8/10, the fakes are cool ;)

Oh I fall in love while I see those screenshots and maps. They are perfect and I´m sure that it will be an incredible hack (I hope).
As I said, I´ll be your sappier, if you wish, Reshi :3

Thx for the offer, but we're doing all Fakemon first (until the dex is complete) and then insert all of them at once. I'll be doing that so no help is needed with inserting sprites. :]

Glad you like the screens! And thanks again for helping.

Oh god....and then.....i will help you in a hipotetical future ?

I'll send you a message if I need your help, but with the sprite editor tools I probably won't need help. I appreciate your offer though.

Wow, the Hack looks so good. I hope scripts and in-game-story are equally good as tiles.
Fakemons is a thing that I will never use because it require a lot of work, then... I don't know, I wish u lucky with it, a fakemon-hack always is beautiful to play xD (besides, they are so cute xD)
About the story, I haven't anything to say, the typical trainer who will try to reach the Pokémon League.

That's all, I hope you do not leave the project. See you!

Sorry my bad English xD

Really cool!
It sure looks awesome; the Fakémons and the tiles are really good.

Honestly, we really need a scripter. So the quality of the scripts depends on whether we find a good scripter soon or not. The story is of course not only the typical Pokemon story, but it will have some relations to Norse Mythology (legendaries etc.). And yeah, Fakemon are a lot of work but it's also fun to see your creations in a game :]
I won't leave the project, don't worry.

New crab Fakemon:



I'll make the backsprites soon. For those interested, the Fakemon on the right is based on a coconut crab.

Edit: Added backsprites :)

Well, I'm not a scripter for long ago, but I've got quite luck when thinking about scripts, so usually the results are satisfactory to me. If you get stuck in something or if you need an idea, you can DM me. Maybe I can help a bit, or not... Depends on time and/or university stuff...

BTW, when you talk about "scripter", are you saying who writes the story or who programs the game?

With scripting I mean writing the code, not the story. ^^
And we recently found 2 scripters, and for now they are doing the first scripts. Hope I can show off some new screens soon, but first we need to fix some problems with extending the flags/vars.
So if you were talking about story help, maybe xD I will message you if I need your help, thanks.

I could do both things, so if you need help or ideas, message me. ;)

Updated the screenshots with new indoor tiles, benches, and other small things. Also, the "Help us" section got an update, we're now really looking for good spriters. We found scripters, but I'm still waiting for the first results of their work.
I will try to show you the latest FakeDex soon! :D

Wow! So nice! I like your game.
The style of this hack is very awesome.
Just give me credits for the "bonfire" (i dont know how call in english "chimenea" , so, the bonfire) tile in the house.

Greetings! ^^

Oh of course, I forgot that. I'll add you to the credits list :)

Wao!, Had not seen this hack.
Let me tell you that visually looks great.

Map Village I quite liked, no doubt 10.

I hope to see more updates.

Thanks ^^ Sprite update coming soon.

Ah orales que chido Hack xD si le doy jajaja

Bueno los mapas son muy bonitos y me encantan los gráficos.
Los scripts deben ser muy buenos, la verdad es que no ve fallo alguno, aunque los sprites de los Fake pueden mejorar :)
No es por sonar mal pero para mi algunos Fakes los veo sencillos, como el pajaro de fuego inicial.. no sé es que no me gusta mucho. Tan solo mi opinión

Sigue mejorando, mucho exito ^^

Ah si te preguntas porque no escribi en English spanish do you xD es porqué medio sé y no me entenderías casi nada.

Iniciado por Gender
Ahhh moderfucker yeaaah chido men yougurth hack.

What. xD
I think I understand what you mean, the fire starter is simple, but you should wait until you see its evolutions. They're... different. Not what you would expect haha.

Sprite Update!

I promised a sprite update a few days ago and well, here it is:



Still in the process of finding names + making backsprites ^_^ Any feedback/comments on the new sprites would be great.

Fantásticos sprites, gráficamente se ve espectacular tu hack, me gusto mucho la animación del agua de mar, se nota que tiene bastante trabajo...
Sigue así, bendiciones!

I'm waiting an actualization soon.
I like every sprite, but, the grass type starter final evo it's kind of weird.
I suggest a little change.

Thanks for the feedback, what part of the sprite do you think should be changed? Any suggestions?

I think...
The body should be ok, and a bit in the face

I thought maybe I should fix the feet a bit, and keep the rest xD The sprite pose is a bit weird now that I look at it again. I don't really see anything wrong with the face, so I probably won't change that.

This is a preview of how the female protagonist could look like! I'm still not sure about the hair/ponytail lol, so which version do you like more? Left or right?

Casi no noto la diferencia jaja, pero me quedaría con la que está
a la izquierda.

Left

The left one is better,
i dont knoe why, it's
just, better.
Nice tiles also.

Just finished the sprites :]

Looks great.
The ponytail is nice and great job with it.
Nice maps.

El hack luce bien y está tomando forma.
Los tiles no son tan impresionantes, pero
tampoco son tan malos.

Sigue así ;)

Hope you like it!

Ese mapeado es genial, los tiles combinan perfectamente
Me encantan tambien los fakes, asi que por favor continua con este hack!

Una hack con un aspecto gráfico muy, muy bueno, me gustaría verlo bien en acción con un vídeo de testeo de 10min.

Por cierto, revisa esto: Screenshot by Lightshot
Si te fijas, la montaña debería tener 1 nivel más.

A hack with a very, very good visuals, I would like to see it in action with a 10min video testing.

If you look the mountain should have one more level.

Use translator.

Thanks, I improved it:

El mapa está perfecto, muy bien estructurado y buena distribución de las casas y los árboles, lo que no me gustan son precisamente los tiles de los árboles, bueno, más bien las paletas, están muy apagadas en comparación con los demás tiles.

Sigue así compañero :D

I just recently improved the standard tree tiles, I thought they're good now xD
Can't really easily change the green palette, sorry... And the trees, environment etc are supposed to have a lighter outline and look than houses and OWs, just my preference ^^

Para mi, el hack es insuperable, hablando del diseño gráfico.

Qué tiles! Qué mapas! Todo perfecto. Los tiles que has escogido le dan un aspecto muy tranquilo y duave al hack, una cosa que me gusta mucho.
Cualquier cosilla que te pueda ayudar, ya sabes que me tienes en skype :D

Sigue así !

Parece un RPG encubierto xDDDDD
nah, en serio, apartado gráfico maravilloso y buenos mapas. Ya me gustaría a mí poder sacarle partido al tileset así.
Enhorabuena y espero que continúes ^^

I really love this map, is incredible.
In this hack teh visual aspect is really good, but i dont like the minspirite of the hero.
I hope that you continue this hack.

PD: Sorry for my English, It isnt very good

Es un hack muy muy prometedor gráficamente.
Tiles muy bonitos, y espectacular mapeado.
Me gustaría ver videos sobre los scripts, pero no dudo que sean muy buenos.

Eso es todo, creo que este hack promete, hay que seguir currando, y trabajando tío.
Sigue así ;)

I've made the OW/minisprite a bit bigger (one pixel row), it looks a bit better than before in my opinion. I'll show you when I update all screenshots. But I won't change the design of the trainer sorry ;)

And no problem, I'm not English either lol.

I need a scripter :0 My only one is currently busy and can't script. So if somebody knows a scripter let me know. I can only do tiles and sprites .-.

Mini update, I'm starting to update some old screens (better than nothing lol)



You can see the difference for things like rocks, trees and sand textures :]

Graph change is slight , but very good. I suggest that you add a little more decoration to your maps , for example , some flowers , branches , things like that . Besides that, the tiles need outlines tree because some look flat.

Suerte con el hack ;)

I have 3 different flowers and branches are on another map near a forest ;) It's just that these screens don't show much of that.
Which tiles look flat? I think if something looks flat it's more of a shading problem, I explained why I use light outlines in another post here.

Ein sehr gute Hack. Ich hoffe dass du die Beta früh hast.
OK, now English, my German isn't so good.


NICE GRAPHICS, MAN!! They are amazing. I just saw them and i still can't believe it! I hope to see more updates, scans, anything! Keep on like this and your team and you will win a MHM soon.

Hey! I love these maps and tiles, really.

I have to say that's a really good project, you're doing a great job. The only thing is that in my opinion fakes have to seem a little bit more as a Nintendo pokémon. I mean, for example, the starters use to have a bigger head. I would do the grass starter such as this:



Here the head is bigger and the body is smaller, that makes that the starter seems more "cute" or "fancy", do you know what I mean?

offtopic: you should try to speak in spanish. It's hard, but the thing is to open doors to new public, and in English is more difficult for our community and it could damage your public ratio, it's just an advice ;D

Thanks Kaliser, I'm a fan of your work too :]
Hmm, I like the idea of making the head bigger, but I don't like changing the design completely c:
I tried improving it a bit

The left one is the new sprite. I'll be working on it more in the future.

I can only use google translate if that helps, although it's really bad sometimes xD But I will include a spanish google translation for the next updates if you want that!
