FIRST FOR FUCK OFF DAVID
>>57143372>I've picked Blazed Glazed and Fire Red Rocket as my first foray onto rom hacks. are these good choices? I was going to give Reborn a go but I don't want to play on PC.Solid choices, but Blazed Glazed is outdated next to the OG. Also recently saw that a Golden Glazed got made with more mons.>>57143673>Coral's going to be awesome when it's finished in 2038.picrel
I stopped coming here because of D***d.

infinite fusion's announced that it'll take 3 months to remove all the art by the spriters who want their art removed and for the rest nothing will change for players atm
>>57144039>you have 3 months to download all the sprite packsDuly noted, thanks anon
>changing types
>>57144039>spriters>pluralDid the main dev turn out to be a heckin transphobe or something?
>>57144171Worse, an AItard.
>>57144178So he used AI for some shit and now """artists""" are bailing on him? I can't wait for the robot uprising, lads. These guys will be the first to fall.
>>57144182He used AI for a bunch of dex entries, and artists threw a hissy fit because they know they're next on the chopping block.
>>57144039A lot of the sprite work in fusion is dogwater anyway. The remade original sprites are especially wild. Gyarados looks like it has downs for example.
>>57144196The worst ones are when they try to be memes or unrelated characters entirely.
Just finished the League in Modern Emerald (modern preset + phy/spe split). It was piss easy, but it was nice. I still have all the post game ahead of me.My Aggron didn't join any fight, btw. He was only there to fill a spot. I'm replacing him with Metagross now.Hoenn is so comfy, bros. It was fun, having to come up with a decent gen 3 team using modern rules.>inb4 but Magnezone?Modern Emerald basically includes all evos of gen 1 through 3 mons that were introduced in later generations.
>>57144188>He used AI for a bunch of dex entriesSo he willingly revealed that he used AI? Is he stupid, perchance?
>>57144202Thought the confetti by Aggron’s face was its tongue
Why is DS hacking still not advancing? At this point just might as well write your own engine, port the mechanics to it and call it a day
>>57144250>WAZAAAAAAAA
>>57144250I make no apologies for this.
>>57144270That’s what essentials did and half this general is dedicated to shitting on it.
>>57144349Essentials doesn't even try to replicate the DS engine, i'm talking about something like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XozaGOtIGys
>>57144206He's French.
>>57144274>>57144298This is art thank you. Next time I use one I’ll name it that
>>57144361What I meant is that essentials basically removed itself from romhacking and made its own engine from the ground up in the way you described here >>57144270 but instead of its own program from scratch it co-opted rpgmaker
>>57144270I'm sure I've said this before, but it would be a lot of work for something that functionally doesn't do much that Gen 3 or Essentials can't already do, except for touch screen mechanics which are awkward to use on an emulator anyway. if you want to make a game that looks like Gen 4, it's easier to just use ripped Gen 4 tilesets in Essentials than to build a whole new engine. basically, people won't do that kind of work unless there's a really good incentive to do so, and frankly, DS hacking wouldn't really offer much that we don't already have. so it's probably not a priority for a lot of people. besides the touch screen, the only other thing you can't really do on existing fangame engines is the semi-3D graphics, but if people really want to make 3D hacks I think it would make more sense to focus on later fully 3D titles that actually offer a significantly different experience than what we already have.
>>57144206yeah honestly his only crime was actually admitting to it. I don't think theres anything wrong with using AI in romhacking. personally I'm using it to help write filler NPC dialogue and name trainers, among a couple other things. although I wouldn't admit that anywhere but here cause of the stigma. but seriously, what's the big deal, romhacking involves a shitton of tedious grunt work that AI can help with. and it's all non-profit anyway, so people shouldn't cry about losing their jobs. if your livelihood is based on making commissions for non-profit fangames, you should reconsider your choices. anyway, I suspect it's going to become a much bigger part of romhacking going forward, trannies can cry all they want, can't stop progress.
>>57145063>but if people really want to make 3D hacks I think it would make more sense to focus on later fully 3D titles that actually offer a significantly different experience than what we already have.Wrong, the 2.5D style of the DS era was perfect for Pokemon and has uncapped potential, both gba and essentials hacks look fugly 99% of the time and essentials in general just feels wrong from the movement to the animations etc.
Why does no one ever fuck around with the happiness system? I'm thinking about adding actual punishments for losing other than losing money. I'm about to rewrite it to tie obedience to happiness and have pokemon lose way more happiness on fainting, etc. Don't know if I'll end up sticking with it but it'll be interesting to test out. I thought about tying every single evolution to happiness on top of the already defined method for the specific pokemon but I foresaw too many problems with that.
>>57144270I'm doing thisno I won't open source it
>>57144361Always a test demo, never a full game.
>>57145253DSbabies need not apply.
>>57145253yeah, it looks alright, but mechanically what does it offer that warrants making a whole new engine? do you have any idea how much work that is? an aesthetic just isn't enough incentive for most people. if you want it so bad, make it yourself. but I bet you won't.
>>57143761>How dare you call me out on my bullshitlol
Anyone looking for sprites? I'm taking commissions/selling a bunch of fakemon sprites, trying to raise some money for a surgery. Example pic of what I'm selling/can do, can also do custom tileset/anything pixel related.DM on my DA account if you're interested.https://www.deviantart.com/iamwatertrainer
>>57145929Not a dev or anything, I just like to play hacks, so no real use for any, but your stuff looks really well done, and I hope you can get enough to cover the costs!
>>57145929>custom tilesetput a showcase of that in your gallery / portfolio
>>57145929This >>57146310I hope your surgery goes well and you can pay the fees, hopefully nobody ever has to pay for surgery one day.
>>57146349I just started my DA account so that is something I'm currently working on.>>57146310>>57146381Thanks for the kind words, I know vp is capable of it haha
>>57146349>>57145929this is an example of what I can do.
A couple big bugfix patches dropped the past few days for the ROWE players.>>57146564Very nice! Love the weeds coming out of the pond, lilypads/algae, and the berry piles.
>>57145929Are you willing to do lewd female trainer designs
>>57146850I can do anything you want haha
Bump
>>57146704Why do they always do it?
>>57145929Not in the market myself but I do hope all goes well man. Been following your stuff on/off for realistically close to 15 years or so now (I have a vague memory of a dex you did that had like a proto-Zoroark sprite in it so pre-gen5). Good luck in your surgery and future endeavours
Thoughts on replacing the PP system with a mana system?
>>57147408to fuck with you specifically
>>57147496pee pee poopoo
>>57147496No one would miss either of those if they disappeared
>>57147579But then how would you resolve stalemates if your moves don't use a resource?
>>57147584Soft reset and use a strategy that works and is fun next time?
>>57147496Personally not the biggest fan of the idea but I do understand the appeal. My ideal system (for the campaign, this would be turbo cancer in pvp) would be something similar to the old school final fantasy ‘magic level’ system, where each move would be given a level and all your moves have a shared PP pool within that level. So for example your close combats and fire blasts of the world would fall in level 8, and each mon has, say, 3 or 4 charges of level 8 moves before needing to heal/restore, whereas you can still pretty much infinitely use scratch and tackle by that point in the game
>>57147595>>57147634I'm curious about no resource system. Maybe some stronger moves would use a portion of your health bar instead. I guess it could work if I never implement healing of any kind. I guess healing is lame anyways.
>>57143916Weaksauce. I stopped coming here because of Doorsfag.
>>57147665You’re thinking about it in terms of “a Pokémon game” when I feel like in this instance you need to be thinking about it in terms of “a JRPG.” PP was- much like mana systems before it- a way to naturally limit and test players resource management and tenacity when traveling through dungeons. This is why all the old legendaries have Pressure: at the end of the dungeon you face off against this monster that drains away your magic twice as fast, meaning you have to be even more careful about managing it than before. Some of the most powerful moves already take a portion of your health bar (recoil moves) making that into a game-defining mechanic seems like a bad idea.
>>57147683Wouldn't be game defining just a couple "5/5 pp" moves would use that. So I mean it'd just be glorified recoil moves. But yea I get the purpose of a resource system. My current issue is I have autism and I always make my UI way too small so right now to fit a mana system in I'll have to sacrifice the exp bar on the status bar, R/B/Y style. So idk. I guess fuck the exp bar type angle.
>>57147713>I made the UI too smallHow small we talking here? Removing the exp bar to put a bar that is typically associated with the color blue that moves around a lot seems like an awful idea, Ya dig?
>>57147984Currently 192x192 but that's counting your action bar as well.Yeah I think I'm gonna try and make the game not use a resource system for moves, should be fine since I'm not planning on having immunes or heals in (or if I do they will come with some drawback like you heal then you skip a turn or something), gonna have to be careful here since no move resource system + no ability to run from battles = softlock potential is there if not careful.
Thoughts on the new ROWE update and Ambrosia?
>>57145693the making a new engine was a joke, obviously i'd prefer people working on what we already have insteadThe thing is that you can only work on the same limited shit for so long until you get sicked entired of it, i can't stand looking at GBA romhacks anymore, they make me sickThe DS games have more depth in the envirement being semi-3D instead of one flat surface, more momentum to the movement, more opportunity for extra details etc.I know gen 4+ hacking is still hard to do but if we have to start investing in it at some point not me though ahah i'm just a spoiled consoomer
>>57148093forgot pic
>>57148082R.O.W.E is still having its bugs ironed out so I’m waiting a bit (also playing another hack rn) and I have no interest in Ambrosia.
>>57148093>sicked entired
>>57148132english is not a good language, it's just so happen to be a necessity
>>57148093>sicked entiredIt's "sick and tired", esl anon
>>57148460see >>57148159
>>57148476Take the L, Paco.
>>57148483You can laugh all you want, i'm not the one that has to interrupt Tyrone from fucking your wife and ask permission to use his PC to post on 4chink
>>57148511>feels embarrassed>immediately starts thinking about black men fucking white womenObsessed.
>>57148511Anon I'm a manchild on 4chan, I don't have a wife any more than you do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX4KTh75Ptwzoomzoom hack lol
Would my savefiles from Scarlet be compatible to using any of the overhauls (Either Pokemon SV Plus, or Pokemon Compass)? I just want to get the exclusive mons as legit as possible without getting a second version or using PkHex.
>>57148620Well I'm glad he had some fun with this project of his, but it's indeed fucking useless to me. It's one mighty retarded way to play Emerald. The main story can be completed in 40h or so like, come on.
>>57148511Hate when this happens to me
>>57148654I don't see why not
>>57148483Take your meds, tyrone.>>57148525Rent free
>>57148705Still thinking about cuckshit, Paco? Shouldn't you be making a custom Pokemon engine using some scraps salvaged around your favela?
>>57148718As we said, take your meds tyrone and take your /pol/ memes elsewhere.
>>57148723I take it that's a no?
>>57148733i don't think so.
>>57148620Now all we need is a hack that removes all dialogue, overworld traversal, random encounters and trainer battles for the optimal pokemon experience.
>>57148654It wouldn’t hurt to try. Pokémon XG and XD saves are weirdly compatible. If you start in one game, save, and load up the other, then you’ll leave off where you last played. However , thats just one example. Theres a possibility of corrupting your save by doing this in the other rom, so be sure to keep a copy of your save before trying this.
>>57148511>It's real in his headlol lmao lil timmy telling me about his cuck fantasies
>>57148592>Still upset he shared his deep dark fantasiesLmao
>>57148654The only thing that would truly cause save incompatibilities is changing around where that data is located. SV mods aren't advanced enough for that.
>>57148093I definitely wouldn't mind seeing some more gen 4 based hacks to spice things up, especially now that we have HG-Engine thanks to the trailblazers that made it. Legacy Edition and Silasts Gen 5 style Platinum projects are very interesting! Looking forward to Aurora Crystal and the new B2W2 Redux engine as well.I am also just a spoiled consumer of others hard work, so I will patiently sit on my hands until the day these projects get fully realized

I've given up on map making. Where's a good place to hire someone to make them?
>>57150961How much are you willing to pay?
>>57150961ask david who makes his maps
>>57151005Idk? I don't know what the rates for an entire region are. I don't even really care about custom tilesets. I have all of ekats public ones and I'm fine with just using those. I can take care of literally everything else. I'm just complete dogshit at making maps.
>>57151025Looks like making maps aren't the only thing you're dogshit at
>>57151027What do you mean? All the scripting is the easy part. Making trainers and teams isn't hard either. I'm just not good at the more artistic aspects.
>>57151027Don't be rude anon
>>57151061SHUT THE FUCK UP, IT"S 4FUCKINGCHAN AND I'LL BE RUDE IF I FUCKING WANT TO
>>57151025There wouldn't be a going rate but instead you pay for each map made, I'd assume it wouldn't cheap to do though, for an entire region.I've a lot of mapping and tileset experience, so can definitely help with that.Even if you're using a public tileset, I can also edit/make sprites if needed.Example pic (obviously the custom tiles would be in matching style of the other other tiles)
>>57151061>>57151027>>57151136kek
>>57148082Haven't played ambrosia yet but heard it's quite challenging, almost to a kaizo level + it has edgy dialogue because the intro is a guy using rayquaza to genocide people.
>>57151149You have any examples of town/city layouts?
