What's the most pointless language/s to translate a fangame to?
>>59680434https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_endangered_languagestake your pick
>>59680434Scot
>>59680434probably different dialects. translating an american english game into british english. stuff like mom->mum and color->colour. incredibly low effort, but also incredibly pointless.
Can anyone recommend me ROMhacks where you can have and use Cosplay Pikachu, from ORAS? I love them to death, but don't know a single ROMhack that includes them.
I want to create custom Gen3 sprites with special focus on replicating the RSE and FRLG art style (more so the latter). Already did some experiments over time (picrel, focusing on projects like OW sprites for items and pokeball variants, or altering signs for more variation), but have some troubles with basics. >SoftwareWhat software is recommended for this hobby? Free (I'm using GIMP for a couple of years now) or premium (e.g. Asperite)? Would prefer FOSS, but wouldn't mind buying a software license if it's good. GIMP lacks features which makes animating sprites tedious, and I don't want to spent money on something I might eventually discard.>Color PalettesHow do I create custom color palettes equal to those used in RSE and FRLG? Are there rules (e.g. color theories) or doesn't it matter because GameFreak also used arbitrary colors for their palettes? How do I use "GBA-fast" colors only (considering the GBA didn't have a color selection as vast as modern tech)? Are there special settings or ways to check if the color is "correct"? I've been copying palettes from existing sprites, but it seems rather odd and cheap when multiple sprites are similarly colored. Or should one try to use as few color palettes as possible by copying palettes?>Color GradientsSimilar to palettes, but specifically focusing on how to create brighter / darker colors. Are there rules or is it random as well?>Saving spritesAside from randomly pasting all results onto a blank, what's recommended to orderly array sprites? Maybe templates? How should one name and archive sprites in folders? What image file formats should be used, both to not tamper with the quality and to assure the accumulating amount of sprites don't become "messy"?

Looking for a few recommendations that are not in the Notable Games document.Can anyone recommend me some good NDS and 3DS romhacks? Also some Mystery Dungeon romhacks too, if possible. I've never played any Mystery Dungeon game before, and would like to change that.

>>59680434Klingon.
>>59681979Oh, and Romeo & Juliet wasn't?
>>59681680how is that
I want to have an NPC that crafts the Galarpoke evo items, but I don't want that to be her sole thing, so I was thinking if there were other flower or plant decor items I could have said NPC provide.
I notice others providing documentation for their games regarding where to find certain mons and whatnot. Of course, there are games with their own dedicated wikis, but my game is intended to be a one-time small scale adventure.How neccessary is such? Since I kinda want to let players explore by themselves, learn about things from certain NPCs and all.
>>59680173can anyone give a qrd on essentials vs romhacking?are there pros and cons to each or is one just better
>>59682130First, what's your idea?
>>59682065GracideaNature Mints.
>>59682130Rom pros:FPS and stabilityCan be run on real hardware Essentials prosLess restrictions on coding and file size. Easier to make
>>59682193Oh yeah, an NPC for mints is a good idea actually, and she'll give/sell the Gracidea down the line too.This NPC is meant to be the type who decorates flower crowns, puts it on your head and laughs, so maybe she could give or sell stat feathers in addition to flowers. (And sure, Ho-oh & Lugia's feathers too.) I already have plans for a seperate NPC who gives/sells/something mochi anyways.
>>59682145I just have a loose story concept/idea and I was to see if I can fashion it into a pokemon game.>>59682196Do I need to be a good coder to use essentials (or even roms for that matter)?
>>59682247>Do I need to be a good coder to use essentials (or even roms for that matter)?Just watch a buncha tutorials to cover your ass, that's exactly what I'm doing. Essentials has a lot of easy-to-locate plugin support too, but uh... try not to get too greedy.
>>59682265Once you're half decent at coding or if you have knowledge on some other system or this one, you'll start to have some kind of idea on how a certain thing or feature/s can be achieved.
>>59682247>Do I need to be a good coder to use essentialsOnly if you want to do something that can't be done in 90% of real pokemon games.
>>59682100entirely up to you man. some people will bitch and refuse to play your game if there's no documentation. personally I think it's relatively harmless, and people who want to discover things can just not look at it, you can also limit what's included in it. but you just gotta decide where you draw your line in the sand. it's your game, make the experience you want to make, don't compromise on that.
>>59681680Are there patch notes, what does this change from version 1.0?

>>59680251I played and I thought it was really generic. There are a lot of tiling issues in this game, but my biggest gripe is that the story has no point. You’re sort of going through the motions. It isn’t until gym 4 where the champion gets called out for cheating with a mythical where it got interesting. I wouldn’t know beyond that though cause I dropped it around the second evil team raid at around the same time. The ending I saw on YouTube doesn’t imply that anything really changed. This game also uses Gen 5 music poorly, either it’s a bad midi conversion or doesn’t fit the mood.I spent 10 hours on this and It felt like a waste of time.
>>59680173pizza boy ds kinda looks low quality compared to other pizza boy emulators, don't you think?the ui is not as good as the other pizza boy emulators and even the icon doesn't match
Puta madre, coding a single ability, and I do mean the one and only ability I intend to code for my project, has proven complex. I have always heard that it was difficult while moves were easy, but this is something.
>>59682826What's the ability do?
>>59682837It's an elaborate ability so I (attempted to) code merely one of its effects - to not need recharging if Hyper Beam and its variants finishes an opponent.I think I also tried to give it the effect of Klutz too, by putting it in the same bracket as it, a bracket meant to ignore items.
>>59682840>to not need recharging if Hyper Beam and its variants finishes an opponent.Is this for Essentials?You could copy the fainting check from Moxie, and replace the attack raise with whatever code resolves the Hyper Beam recharge.
Have you guys played Amethyst yet?
>>59682865I was going to but now I won't.
>>59682892What a shame.
>>59682853Took a bit of fanagling, but I managed to achieve it! I actually used Moxie for the first run but I used the wrong bit of code, so this time I used Moxie for the template of the ability's effect.
>>59682933Good job, anon.I don't remember if it was an RBY or Stadium thing, but I believe Hyper Beam's recharge condition was also fulfilled with breaking a substitute.
>>59682865I might give it a shot, but I've got ghost grey to finish first and want to give monomyth a whirl when it arrives too
>>59680525>braillethis is the correct answer
>>59681680someone should do this but for fire types. they could call it firered, that has a nice ring to it
>>59681266Really?
>>59683044Or fiendfyre.
Saw that Meloetta game have a Snake Minigame, perhaps I should contemplate stealing that.
>>59683158Dew it.

>>59681525Anyone?
>>59681525>I've never played any Mystery Dungeon game beforeHow about Explorers of Sky? It's an official Pokemon game though
https://www.hackdex.app/hack/pokemon-ceruleumThoughts on Ceruleum?
>>59681525>>59683605I highly recommend Explorers of Fortune, it's EoS with QoL out the ass
>>59683626it's where you fight misty
>>59683649
>>59683571Look man, Gen 4+ hacking basically doesn't exist. It's all just difficulty hacks or full dex hacks. None of that is particularly exciting or high quality, and most of the credit they get is just for being a gen 4+ hack.
>>59683626>PC access from menuBoooo
>>59681525>Also some Mystery Dungeon romhacks too, if possible. I've never played any Mystery Dungeon game before, and would like to change that.Here's the rentry right off of /pmdg/'s OP but you should play a vanilla PMD first.
>>59681680I would play this if the creator had bothered to change Red to a Bug Catcher. Alas, he did not, and thus, this hack is barred from being kino
>>59683605>>59683632>>59683743Gonna give them a try. Thank you.
Plaguemon SUCKED COCK but it was also an extremely interesting experience. I dub this phenomenon...TRASH KINO
>>59683877does that feraligatr have a donger
>>59683626I'm interested but the nu-gen shit turns me off.
>>59683918Oops, wrong hack. Ceruleum? I want to play it but my 3ds dieded.
These are the games I've played so far >Clover>Monomyth >Radical Red>Ghost Grey>Prism>Unbound>Inclement EmeraldI'm playing Petalburg Dynasty and having a fun time, but what big heavy hitters am I missing once I'd done there?
Can't wait to try monomyth at the end of the month.
>>59683927Gaia for a bretty gud older hackSacredGold/StormSilver and BlazeBlack/VoltWhite for difficulty stuffVega is a classsic but please go for one of the more modern tweaks since Vanilla is a ballbusterTouhou Puppet Play 1.8 Enhanced if you want Moe girls instead of mons and a new chart to learn
>>59683626I started playing but quickly determined it was written by an ESL, what a shame
>>59683884FRAMEPREASE
>>59683927While I wouldn't call it a heavy hitter, or that great, the Victory Fire series is note worthy for having a story told across 4 games.
i did a thing https://gofile.io/d/jFiURAlV
>>59684017I'm confused by what you're requesting
>>59684045are you going to explain or do you expect people to just download a random file...?
>>59684059the info is in the name
>>59681266And how are they going to know that Evergreen was already taken considering that David got banned from Pokecommunity?
>>59684142>"already taken"lmao, so you think you have a copyright or something, David? you can't claim shit, get fucked. good luck ever promoting your game anyway when you're banned from all the major communities - and any you aren't banned from surely will ban you once they're forwarded your videos you've made.
>>59683927>games I've played>Monomythtf do you mean bro this rom hack is not out yetidk about heavy hitters but check out soul gold
My David lore is patchy, how'd he get banished from Pokecomm? Is he also banished from Relicastle now Eeveexpo?
>>59684262Yes to both. It was all because of a certain video he made.
A couple days ago someone said Norman's Slaking in Hardmode ME didn't lose Truant.Yeah that was completely wrong. It still has its buttcheeks vanilla moveset though thankfully.
https://www.hackdex.app/hack/pokemon-rhythm-release-v100Another new one, apparently four years in the makingI'm hesitant because it has gore which implies edginess
If you could make a romhack, what would it be about? What would it have in it?
>>59684323Pretty much a regular pokemon game but a little harder and with extensive dating sim mechanics
>>59684366Sky and Earth (inspired by Altair/Sirius/Vega and Procyon/Deneb)Set in either Kitakami or an untouched part of Japan.
>>59684323Probably whatever I'm making on Essentials now.
>>59684286Urgh, another one with questionable English
>>59684323something with a lot more dungeons. or maybe a more metroidvania map? i kinda like the early-mid game part of pokemon the best, so something that makes that last as long as possible. like that bit where you have a bunch of new areas you could explore or where the otherwise mediocre tms, like water pulse, feel like amazing novel options for your team or where an early evolving otherwise bad pokemon like fearow or roselia is the powerhouse of your team. not sure how many other people appreciate that feeling like i do.
>>59684059downloaded it, it turns files back into a pbs folder
>>59684266That always seemed weird to me. I wasn't around for it, but banning a guy for offsite activity like that sounds weird. Let alone for it to happen 3 times.
>>59684286>mixing gen 3 and 4 over world sprites
Today's progress - designing the first draft of... one of my player character options. I still need to relearn drawing because I am rusty as fuck.
>>59684918I mean, people don't want pedos in their communities lol.
>>59680513Regarding color palettes, some of this could be wrong so maybe someone can correct me but each asset gets a limit of 15 colors plus 1 more that serves as your transparent background color. Picrel is a DS sprite but I believe the same rules apply to GBA.Whatever color is the first in the palette (in this case the light sky blue) will be treated by the game as transparent, so the sky blue won't show up in game. You then get 15 colors left for the sprite itself, and these 15 colors are shared for ALL the entities actions (in the case of a player character, standing/walking/running up, down, left, and right must share the same 15 colors)These same rules also apply to tiles and menu icons. A house would be made up of multiple tiles, so a house could have more than 15 colors, but each individual tile making up that house is capped to 15 (because remember, the first color in your palette will be made transparent) Personally, I would heavily recommend aseprite, it's just the most sane option. I save in pngs since jpegs mangle the coloring terribly.
>>59684918Banning for offsite activity is the most unprofessional thing, it's basically what caused Relic Castle to go kaput.
>>59680173any advices for Quetzal jhoto's gym number 3? mega kangaskhan is just one hit ko's me
>>59685011If I remember correctly, the video portrayed the act of incestuous rape as one of the worst things someone could do.
Monomyth today?
>>59685042How do you guys, or well, some other group of guys, find this stuff AND link it back?
>>59685042It's been a while since I saw it, and I remember it being more like a poorly done Penis Inspection Day joke. But I might be thinking of something else.
While we're on the topic, have any of you included anything in your games that would get you booted off those sites?
>>59685231Yes, but I removed that stuff before I posted it to those sites. I deiced that it was more valuable to have my stuff on those sites than including things I can just add in for my privet build.
not that i care about them, but i find weird that in 2026 the fans haven't made an hackrom with all the vtubers as pokemon.
>>59684323you can choose any basic pokemon as your starter - even ones that don't evolve like milktank- and whichever you choose will have perfect ivsfollowing pokemondifficulty options- rather than 'easy/hard' you can set various options to decide WHAT makes it hard. you can toggle if expshare is held item or partyshare, you can toggle if npc pokemons will have better ivs and evs, maybe increaser wild pokemon held item rate or put a price tag on pokecenters and computers. you can even have nuzlocke as game option, for those of us weak willed enough to need it locked by the game.every pokemon will be dateable, and date event differ by nature/personality rather than by pokemon type. obviously moemon.>>59685321did you include a patch to add those back in?
>>59685445look at that horrifying clefairy on the right side
>>59685038There are a couple of ghost types you can catch before this but Spiritomb might be your best shot due to the BST, or something that can burn
>>59685042first of all David, stop with the 3rd person bullshit. we all know it's you. come on dude. as for the video, the fact that it portrayed incestuous rape at all is fucked up. it doesn't matter if he got punished for it in the video. making a video with that subject matter at all is twisted and nobody wants somebody capable of that in their communities. the fact that even 4chan found it over the line should tell you something. not a single person who watched that video though "oh, this is a guy who thinks raping little kids is bad" they watch it and think "this guy wants to rape little kids"
>>59685445>did you include a patch to add those back in?No, that's for my privet use. Although I guess if someone has an older version, it'll be easy to put back in themselves.
>>59685515I thought David disowned that video after realizing he went overboard with it and wants it to never be brought up again.
>>59684286>A new region with a new story around my favourite Pokemon Meloetta.that's a red flag
>>59685481ai slurpers dont have eyes
>>59683068Yeah, Drayano was streaming it over the weekend
>>59685515It was so bad that someone remade to replace the subject matter with something less fucked up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuClui437tE&t
Going back on topic, what are some cliches you hate seeing in a romhack or fangame?
>>59685563I don't know David, did you?
>>59685590That's also you David. You changed your name from PugetSoundGuy when you got called out in the last thread. This is pathetic dude. Why do you keep trying to pretend you're somebody else? You really haven't learned anything after all of these years, have you? I can't believe you're still making these fucking videos too. You're fucking helpless. Christ.
>>59685620And do you know what’s also pathetic? You obsessing over David.
Oh no, don’t tell me this thread is going to be derailed over David…
>>59685016Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
>>59685515>>59685620Schizo
>>59683927I would highly recommend Fool's Gold, so long as you're okay with playing through a Gen 2 hack.
>>59685571we are vibe-seeing
Anyone playing origin heart gold? It's peak Kanto. Peak romhacking, I dare say
>>59685042True, but it doesn't change the fact that the subject matter is fucked up and it's not much wonder why he got banned from those communities. I think it should be a reminder that just because you have an idea, it doesn't mean you should go ahead and make it that idea happen.
>>59685011I obviously agree, but it doesn't make it not funny that this is being said on /vp/ of all places. There's at minimum 5 pedo threads with hardly opposition at any given time here.
>>59685762Keeps the rent low and normalfags out
behold, AI's best attempt at creating a pokemon map when asked to make oneabsolutee proof that it's shit at map design
>>59685011Personally, I don't think making the video makes him a pedo, but he shouldn't have made it in the first place.
>>59685798but bro AI is so good it will take your job (jokes aside it did...)
>>59685630no problem, in regards to your color gradient questions, just use typical hue shifting, this is a good video if you aren't familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG4_X4xt46cbeyond that, there is a technical limitation on what colors can actually be displayed in game, but it's kind of pointless and not worth thinking about.The requirement is that for the colors you use, all the RGB values that make up the color must be divisible by 8, this is true for both GBA and DS. (See picrel for one example, all 3 RGB value numbers are divisible by 8).The reason this limitation is kind of pointless to think about is that (1) most graphics hacking tools will automatically change your rgb values to be divisible by 8 upon upload, and (2) tweaking rgb values by a few numbers to make them divisible by 8 is negligibnle on how the overall color looks, so even if you dont keep in mind the rule, you'll hardly ever be using a color that is wildly outside the scope of what the GBA/DS can display.Like I said, this is really just a technically limitation that's barely worth keeping in mind but I also wondered about what colors I'm allowed to use and that's the answer. If you want to be autistically authentic, down to the RGB values, this is the way to do it, but I wouldn't go back through all your sprites and make sure they follow this unless you're deranged.
>>59685798just two more weeks and two billion more dollars dude just give me three week and three billion dollars that's all it's going to take man agi in four weeks and four billion dollars
>>59684217>this rom hack is not out yetfor you
I wanna make a difficulty hack where it's KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO but you use a mono bug team as a bug catcher. If I've never done it before, would it be better to make a hack or use essentials?
>>59685798soul
gave the AI free rein to create an entire new region to see what it'll do, all i know right now is that it's decided on a snowy region named Aurora
>>59685825You mean like BugLime Version?
>>59685825You can make this as a romhack pretty easily but didn't this hack JUST come out?https://www.hackdex.app/hack/buglime
>>59685829>>59685830Buglime isn't a difficulty hack. ALSO. You don't play as a Bug Catcher. And there's not dialogue changes to acknowledge that you're a bug catcher which hurts the bug catcher immersion
I mean that you don't use a bug catcher sprite when I say you don't play as one to be clear. If it's easy, I would appreciate a starting point
>>59685321Was it people having sex or the other kind of banworthy thing
>>59685836>And there's not dialogue changes to acknowledge that you're a bug catcher which hurts the bug catcher immersionHEARTBREAKING: Local trainer realizes he's the "Bug Catcher Dipshit" all the NPCs are taking about
>>59685903Stolen assets.
>>59685912nigga its rom hacking the whole thing is built on stolen assets
>>59685950they get mad when it happens to them
>>59685825Why kanto?
>>59680513>it seems rather odd and cheap when multiple sprites are similarly coloredevery color the gba displays on screen requires a bit of memory, cutting down on the amount of colors the GBA is showing at once is mostly for optimizationFor example if I have an MC, a Professor, and a bug catcher all using the same exact 16 color palette. Then the GBA is only running 1 palette to show off all three of those sprites, which would free up some memory that can then be allocated for things like animation frames, particle effects, etc.
>>59685968Kantonian Bug Catchers are the swaggiest
Ahem… Fuck the admins of Eevee Expo! They are so unforgiving! Refusing to give second chances to anyone who made a mistake (on site or off site). So unprofessional…
>>59686022let me guess its run by a tranny?
>>59686022David, we understand you’re still bitter about getting banned over that certain video, but let it go. There are some things you can’t just take back.
>>59685950I know, but you are only allowed to steal from people who make things officially. There is a comical amount of hypocrisy within the community, but no one has the balls to say anything.
>>59686022They did give a "second chance" once - to Elena. But that was after A LOT of fucking backlash.>>59686031Actually, is the main-main admin a tranny?
>>59686048Context for the Elena thing?
>>59686022Honestly, I'm questioning of where the game even is. Like, if I google it, I only find links to the Evergreen romhack, but every video is people playing Evergreen David. Talk about a fucked search algorithm. no matter what version you're looking for, you won't get a complete picture.
>>59686050The story starts with Pokemon Opalo's ban. They started targeting everyone who was even slightly associated with EricLostie (which was practically all spics) and they dug up xitters for ANYTHING that could be used against them, even if the dev games themselves were clean of such things. I remember them saying that a simple one-piece swimsuit fanart of Marnie was banworthy, one that took A LOT of digging to find. It wasn't anywhere on their sites, and it wasn't even that risque, but they used the excuse of the Twitter being linked on the site even though they have never done so before.The backlash was fast because everyone liked Elena and her games. Eventually Relic Castle, while doubling down and saying that they were right and justified, said their main-main admin will examine the game Remniscencia and handle it by xemselves.They were also aggressively denying being racist to spics, but... come on... you guys literally started going after them because of the actions of one. What else can you call that?
>>59686067To add to this, not too long after, Relic Castle went kaput, but we all know they returned as Eevee Expo.
>>59680173what hacks need to be added to the docGhost Grey? Amethyst? anyone else?
>>59680173where does rheg fall on vibecoding hacks
>>59686175They are all shit games. That's all that matters.
>>59686175If the hack's good, I don't give a shit if you used LLMs anywhere.If the hack's shit, it's shit, and it doesn't have anything to do with LLM usage.
>>59686175The fact we cannot reliably hack games that came out nearly 2 decades ago is fucking embarrassing.If the alternative to AI was waiting God knows how many more years before we had reliable DS hacking then fuck that.Whats more, hacking GBA has been solved for nearly a decade now and you can still count on your fingers how many hacks are actually worth playing.Rom hacking has ALWAYS been about wading through the sea of shit to find the gems, don’t blame AI for the deluge of shit projects when we were gonna get shit projects regardless. If AI accelerates the timeline for getting some good games, then I’m all for it.

How soon should certain resources be available? I.e. EV-increasing items such as vitamins & IV-increasing items like Bottle Caps. I am planning to have feathers in the middle of the game & maybe mochi, with the Pretty Feather being repurposed to have the Plain Mochi's effect.Heck, I've seen move relearners appear early in some fangames.
this game is looking better and better with each new clip
>>59686354Fucking SWEET. Thank you!
>>59686461Either iv alterations shouldn't be available or ivs shouldn't exist. Having variable ivs is flavourful for playing pokemon like an rpg or challenge run, it distinguishes your mons even more. The issue real pokemon games faced is that they also want to be competitive battle games at the same time, where optimization is necessary, so they introduced caps to reduce the amount of time it takes to get optimized pokemon. Champions barely if at all suffers from their removal (setting all ivs to 32) with the only catches being trick room is a little less optimized sometimes and gyro ball isn't as powerful. Evs, post gen 2, act both as flavorful rpg elements while also being a tool of expression given how limited they are, though they have a catch of always making new party members somewhat weaker than current ones at the same level. you can either keep them or leave them, I'm playing Ghost Grey for the first time, and I'm appreciating their exclusion.

>>59685820Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.>Like I said, this is really just a technically limitation that's barely worth keeping in mind but I also wondered about what colors I'm allowed to use and that's the answer. If you want to be autistically authentic, down to the RGB values, this is the way to do it, but I wouldn't go back through all your sprites and make sure they follow this unless you're deranged.It's about the GBA-aesthetic, randomly choosing colors without a plan behind it just doesn't feel right and will stick out. But if it's as negligible as you say, then just setting up an art tool to do the job should be enough.>>59685016>I save in pngs since jpegs mangle the coloring terribly.Is .bmp also an option? Not sure if that's correct, but I've heard this format can only save colors similar to those used on the GBA, meaning it could pass as a mean to automatically set GBA-like colors.>>59685987Hm, so an art choice derived from technical limitations. Is there a (not a technical but aesthetic) "broad rule" on how many sprites should use the same palette without the world looking boring?
It's true what people say about PokeMMO. After playing through all the regions and catching all Pokemon there was fuck all to do. No wonder this piece of shit is popular with total subhumans.
Does anyone know any ROM hacks or fangames with pokemon fusions in it? Aside from the obvious Pokemon Fusion I & II & Infinite Fusion, I only know of:>Pokémon Clover>Pokémon Feuergrüne Edition
>>59688334>Feuergrünstop making up words to look cool
>>59688334https://github.com/xCrystal/crystal-randofuser/#pokemon-crystal-randofuserThere's one I have with fused sprites, but I can't find a link for it.

>>59688398This.
>>59680173got bored and made a gen 4 version of a rom hack mcany guesses? this'll help me know if i did a good job.
Thinking of doing Mega Evolutions for the Galar fossils. There are four Mega Stones, each corresponding to the four tops and halves. How should I approach this?>Non-focus half fully degenerates and allows user to become a pure type or they become half ghost-type, explained by a similar phenomenon to G-Corsola, Dragapult, etc.>Non-focus half gets converted into elemental energy and gets reshaped into a supposedly accurate body for the other half, so the mon retains its type.In any case, their abilities are all Speed Boost variants - -vish gets Attack, -zolt gets Speed, Draco- gets Defense (its ability will randomly pick between Def & Sp.Def to raise) & Arcto- gets Special Attack
>>59687276incredibly even worse than i expected it to be
>>59688783Having a look at their stats again>-zolt adds more Attack>-vish adds more Defense>Arcto- contributes Sp. Atk (& some Sp. Def)>Draco- contributes SpeedSo maybe it is more logical to have abilities correspond to this. Plus making it so that Mega Dracovish won't have an Attack-boosting Mega might prove... better.
>>59685445What the fuck is going on in this image
Any ROM hacks that do any of the following (not necessarily all)>1) Follow the path of the rival >2) Make all Pokemon in the game BUT hard to catch each one (ie Mr Mime only appears a certain day/month/time of year in a certain area)
>>59688745Compared with official Gen4 sprites, the outline is too "hard". The hair and hands should have more lighter shading.

>>59689489There it is again, pink abmination on the right hand side. Is it following you?
>still nothing on monomyth Is this gonna be another Pisces type situation where they rush an incomplete game out the door on the 31st?
>>59689758What is the supposed correlation between not releasing *already* meaning that when they release it will be rushed somehow? What sense does that make??
>>59689775They said it would release in October and it's almost the end of the month now. Not damning by itself but it is a red flag. Pisces did the same thing and infamously had a whole bunch of empty houses and missing npc text in the later part of the game.
>>59689792They said by the end of October ten days ago, so meaning the end. Before that it was just fall. In what way is that damning? It feels like you are looking for reasons to doom…
I made one of the most busted fusions ever in infinite fusion and I've never seen this one mentioned before.>find wild giratina fusion in randomized mode>later find griseous orb>get idea to fuse giratina with skrelp>now griseous + adaptability stab one shots anything that doesnt resist
>>59689758no, retard. the game is basically already done with a full post gamet. beta tester
>>59689798Calm down. I'm not attacking your masterpiece.>>59689866They said that months ago. I'm just wondering why they're dragging it out to the latest possible date if the game is "finished." If they always planned a Halloween release date, they could've just said that instead of leaving it open ended for no reason.
>>59689940They didn’t announce it was releasing in October until the tweet last week.
>>59689940if they said the game was releasing in the fall, halloween is far from the “latest possible date”
>>59680513GBA used 5bit per channel rgb, that's the only real hardware limitation the colours have. 5bit means that you need to divide the 255 channel values by 8 to get them normalized between 0-31, each. There's many ways to get them clamped to 5bit values you can google.For tiles, the palettes almost always have a "black" for outlines and an "off-black" for drop shadows, you emulated that well in the traffic sign objects. The off-black can also be used in shading as a generic "dark color" regardless of the hue you're working with. So, you can shade both a red and a green object with it, as long as you use it in moderation. It is also useful for outlining the "tops" or lighter parts of an object.I don't have much advice to give you beyond that, since what you posted shows you're capable enough at emulating a style without having every single particular written down and spoonfed to you. Good job and good luck, anon!
>>59683927Hook us up with the goods, I want to beta test it myself.
How's (You)r collection going? Post'em!
>>59689866What starter will you be picking for Monomyth then?
Is there a better roguelike than Pokebonk?
>>59690480I find the fire starter has the coolest evolution. chose him twice for the two big phases the game had. water starter is also badass, maybe closer to a traditional starter evo I think. grass starter's cool while also being silly to me. but that's just me. >>59690180nah. my friend let me in so I wouldn't betray his trust like that. it's coming out in 2 days anyway.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOJTs-UBnRc

Are you a multi-ending kinda player/dev or are you more straight line?
>>59689664I think it does!>>59691110
>get bored, try out Infinite Fusion again, Hoenn this time>they've somehow made it even laggier and more buggyfuck me running
>>59689986>you need to divide the 255 channel values by 8 to get them normalized between 0-31Mathematically speaking, there are 32^3 colors to choose from?>"off-black"So basically the darkest used color =/= black? Are there also multiple off-black colors when different color shades are used (e.g. green and brown in plants), or is there only one off-black per palette (e.g. one off-black being darker than the other, line with yellow)?>So, you can shade both a red and a green object with it, as long as you use it in moderation.In terms of adding seperation lines within an enclosed area of the sprite?>Good job and good luck, anon!Thanks ^^One further question to ask: Are there official sources / tutorials / leaked documents by GameFreak on how they create(d) sprites, like how they sketch out a design and translate perspectives, shades and textures to pixels? Or tutorials by unrelated artists who you'd recommend?
Basically, I'm trying to balance things out by choosing one starter from each trio per Generation to appear in my game. The idea is that I balance them with three reps of each of the three main starter types.>Gen 1: CHARIZARD>Gen 2: Meganium>Gen 3: Blaziken>Gen 4: Torterra OR Empoleon>Gen 5: Samurott OR Serperior>Gen 6: Greninja OR Chesnaught>Gen 7: Primarina>Gen 8: Rillaboom>Gen 9: SkeledirgeFor the OR ones, which do you propose I pick? Be it based on preference or what makes sense.
>>59691398I realize my wording might imply that they're starters in the context of the game I'm making so I will clarify that they're all wild encounters in at least one form. So if you want to run monotype you could have three startermons.
>>59691398>gen 9>not the catngmi
>>59691444My game is set on an island in the middle of fuckall so I'm picking choices that follow this logic i.e. Pokemon that are based on animals that could've gotten there somehow and Pokemon who themselves could've gotten there.
>>59690867ai slop. it's somewhat interesting in the early game but it gets quite boring by the time your starter fully evolves, feels like just waiting until i'm strong enough to progress to the next level. camera gets really bad as it goes on. pokerogue and emerald rogue 2 still clear it.
>>59691398Torterra is probably the most interesting if we're talking about typing, but Chesnaught's role is more unique as a starter. Serperior is either painfully mediocre to bad (yes worse than u-samurott) or it's incredibly one dimensional with contrary, so I wouldn't choose it unless you plan on changing it a bit. Empoleon kinda overlaps with U-Samurott and Primarina quite a bit, so I'd say Greninja's role as a fast attacker is more unique but it could steal too much of the attention.
MonoMyth's release has been confirmed for Friday sometime around 12pm EST if I remember correctly. Would anyone happen to have images of what the starters evolve into? I'm very curious to see which one looks the coolest.
>>59691572i think the water one is on the back of the box art they posted but the other two havent been seen yet
>figure essentials is a standalone software made by fans for fans that want to make fangames>turns out its a plugin for an rpg maker and does nothing without buying that firstoh...
>>59691648Essentials is kind of clunky anyways, it has a certain stink that's hard to remove, is pretty laggy etc. It's definitely easier to get into than romhacking but romhacking has better results.
>>59691654I personally found Essentials as a good way to prototype. You can very quickly make something and get to playing it for testing purposes.Start a project there, get some ideas down, don't worry about polish, then transfer as much as possible to a ROM base.
>>59691654I've only made one relatively simple game via romhacking and I remember it being a pain in the ass to work with and having to constantly troubleshoot fitting things within the memory so it would boot or not crash. Granted that was a long time ago so idk how far romhacking tools/tech have come since then. I imagine its still the best way to go about making a game if its something that's 1:1 to a baseline pokemon type game.But for what I currently want to try its something a little less simple, like a more involved story with "cutscenes" and some more intricate mechanics - granted it'll still be amateurish dog shit by comparison. But at least personally the fan games I've played that have the same feel as what I'm going for all seem to be made in essentials and not romhacks so I'm guessing there's a reason.
Fuark just saw the trailer for Epsilon, the detail and polish is crazy man

@Announcements Quick ping to let you know about a small change :nonno: After giving it some serious thought, the rest of the team and I have decided it would be best to remove our projects from Hackdex following the recent developments regarding generative AI.Hackdex allows the use of generative AI in any area, as long as developers disclose how, to what extent, and in which areas it was used. As you can probably guess by now, we are against this kind of use, hence our decision.This isn't about demonizing Hackdex or anything like that. We simply don't want our projects hosted alongside others that make more or less extensive use of generative AI, or that outright lie about using it.What does this mean for you? Nothing, really. The games will still be available for download through Discord and PokéCommunity.So, if you no longer see Pokémon Odyssey and Pokémon Odyssey II on Hackdex, now you know why.Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!

>>59692408who really cares if people use AIwe can already clearly see >>59685798 that it's worthless for fudging development. You still need a clear vision and idea of whats good/not good to make even a decent rom hack.AI poses pretty much zero threat to quality rom hacks, it just makes certain processes easier. Didn't Pokeemerald ALSO make things laughably easier compared to binary? maybe we should ban hacks using it so the binary hackers don't feel threatened.

And when you do go to places with NSFW indie games like LewdCorner or F95, most of the people there would rather do their original I.P., or if they do parody, they overdo that shit and sacrifice story, relying on the I.P. a bit too heavily and just make every girl a one-dimensional bimbo with tits that are obviously far too oversized even if you quadruple their canonical bust size., or they're afraid of Pokemon bringing the DMCA hammer down, or a mix of two of these.That being said, what if I aimed to do it someday? After I'm done with my own sfw projects of course. And maybe only ever post it on this thread.
