    IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE: OW Spriter

    I finally finished the beta as of two days ago. However, there's just 1 thing that needs to be edited; The Heroine's OW Sprites.

    Now wait! Before you go "Aw, no way! There's way too many frames for the heroine, I'm not helping her with all that", all of the Heroine's frames are already inserted/recolored in NSE, they just need a better touch-up. I would like for people who are good at OW spriting to volunteer to complete the Heroine of the game's OW Sprites. Most of'em are already done, just the running and walking sideways sprites need a bit cleaning up. I personally would do it, however I don't have much time due to finals this week and next week. Not to mention the beta is scheduled to release next friday. So whoever's up to it, feel free to msg me, I would greatly appreciate it, as would anyone else who's excited to play next friday.

    Thanks For Reading.

    • I'm not bad at overworld spriting, however the big picture (as in the in battle spriting) I am **** at. Msg me (Skype: Oddball20007: all that jazz) if you need anything done, and if you have something for me to work from that would be awesome. IE: A realistic photo. Also this is a fire red hack? It looks HG/SS ish from the screenshots! GG to all of you!

    Thanks.

    Also, little announcement for the future; Dark Rising 3 won't be on a Rom. I'll be moving into Game Development after Dark Rising 2. So Dark Rising 3 will be developed using rmxp.

    That's awesome. Finally this time all the barriers for you are now gone. Never thought it could get more better. Good luck!

    I've actually just signed up so I could tell you how much I enjoyed DR1 and I am very much looking forward to DR2. Please do not alter the difficulty curve as some people are suggesting as that was the best part of the game (admittedly I would have been screwed without VS seeker and lucky Egg)
    One improvements I would like to see if possible are the move sets. For example I sent a lot of time training my volcarona for it not to learn Quiver Dance, bug buzz or Fiery dance which ruined her really, there were lots of other moves on my pokes I was looking forward to when leveling up which never came.

    Is this something you are looking at ?

    Yeah, I'm so over Rom Hacking after this one. I edit one thing, something else messes up. I fix that something & than ANOTHER thing messes up. It's like a chain reaction of errors, it's ridiculous.

    Yeah, I realized that was a problem for a lot of Pokemon. The physical/special split will help a lot of Pokemon that were struggling to be good in the first one. However, moves like Quiver Dance are out of my limitations to insert into the hack at this point. I really wish I could use MrDollSteak's Rom base with all of the new moves & animations, but it's too late now as I'm too far into the Hack at this point to patch it with my Rom. It'll ruin the Rom & there won't be no DR2 at all. The good news though is I made sure to give every Pokemon equal attention when editing their moves this time & made sure they will learn their best moves with what's available.

    That's the thing with Rom hacking. Whether you like it or not, there are always bugs around, and it just proves how fragile the roms are. You mess 1 thing up and it all falls apart like dominoes. Just a random thought but, do you plan on using GlitchxCity's music for the game. Just had a hunch...

    The special/physical split will make a huge improvement to the gameplay as will the lack of bugs that will come with having a big development team. Will you be releasing a level up move guide with the rom ? so we know what to expect/not expect from training our pokes

    The music maker for this hack is xGal. He's done a very good job & proved his reliability. So his music is the only music for the hack other than Jillsandwich's music for the first city.

    Like DR1, I'm leaving this Rom hack open & available for people who download it to use it as they see fit. Thus, you can use the program Yape to see what every Pokemon will learn as they level up. I don't recommend changing anything though as I would like for people to play the hack as I set it up to be played, but it's just a hack so if the person playing would like something different, like for example learning a different move for their Garchomp other than what I set it to learn, they are free to change it.

    I love your hacks and what you do, DRG. Just wanted to establish that. I'm making my own VBA hack so I'm wondering, why cant we have the Fennekin line? Does that mean we cant have any Gen6 starters? Im excited for DR3 with the different system, new starters and expanded story. Thanks for being awesome, DRG!

    Thanks. Yea, there's no 6th gen starters in this hack. They will be available in DR3 which is in development. There's nothing stopping me from having them in the hack, but I just don't want them in, there's too many starters already as it is. Not to mention I already had the majority of Pokemon already inserted and ready before the info for the 6th gen starters were released. So it was too late to find room for them. Also, in this hack Fennekin is a trademark of a character named Jalice. It wouldn't feel special if other people can have Fennekin other than her.
