Reck your sprite is awesome already though

it pretty much is, don't think i can improve on it

[JDodge]

I finally got the song table for FireRed loaded up (it was actually pretty easy, just needed to fix an XML doc). I can now safely say that the way the game handles music makes even less sense than I thought prior. Apparently FireRed actually contains several tracks from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald for

no fucking reason

whatsoever.

On the brighter side that brings the total # of tracks we have to spare to about 18 so far by my estimation. Got some really neat shit planned.

If you look at the sprites, every sprite from 3rd gen is also built in the engine <.<

So you're creating a completely unique list of 150+ pokemon with 3 sprites each? What about moves? And I assume since the types are all changing you're going to do custom base stats for all the pokemon you create? I guffaw at your ambition. Tell me you're not changing the layout of the world. What about choosing the location of where wild pokemon can be found? My mind boggles.

[Papa Zito]

Don't forget an all-new soundtrack.

thanks for your confidence ^_^

this may take forever, but it'll be great

Yes

with 3 sprites each?

If by three you mean front back and party, yes

What about moves?

No custom moves.

Not yet

Yes

think i've actually composed in my head (haven't gotten anything tangible done on it yet) the first actual piece of soundtrack, thinking it can probably used as a replacement for the rival's leitmotif thing and then repurposed for a battle theme

i'm realizing that my general mode of operation where game music is concerned is either really low-key and melancholic or generally epic and that's posing a minor issue for composing music that fits really well with a pokemon game

edit: considering just pulling tracks from various pokemon games and giving them a work through the ol' remixing studio at first and then composing anything if stuff just happens to come to me during the process

[JDodge]

have had a major breakthrough to where i have at least figured out a sort of prototype gym theme for now (going to work along the same basic lines as your standard gym theme anyways but i figure getting this done and out of the way at least allows me to develop a sort of "style" to work within)

[mb53]

Im totally interested ing helping out with pokemon sprite making. What are you using right now to make them?

i'm using gimp but any editor should work (you could theoretically easily freehand in paint if you go pixel-by-pixel)

[dramonic]

I use paint right now.

[JDodge]

i've just spent the past hour making a track that for the most part is scientifically designed to be uncomfortable to listen to

yay

[Knight of Cydonia]

Oh good, we have our own Lavender Town theme.

i'm actually planning on using it for ghost E4 as long as dram/quadz approve

[Sudo_Nym]

So, for my gym theme, I thinking something that will "shock" the listener! I mean that literally. I want the music to reach through the emulator, and shock the listener like a taser.

can i do shockingly bad? i already have a track or two that i've messed with that will never see the light of day for being awful

[JDodge]

i think i just made the biggest breakthrough i could possibly make for the musicstuff

[Papa Zito]

(btw jd is the only one taking this seriously please move along nothing to see here)

[quadz08]

I am taking this seriously

I am on the music committee as "guy who makes sure JD knows how to music"

[JDodge]

(btw jd is the only one taking this seriously please move along nothing to see here)

even if it doesn't work out i can use it for something else later, so i don't really mind either way
