Thief has a plethora of fan made maps

DOOM and Super Metroid have some nice hacks.

>>15344646

>>15344665

Thanks for the recs. I actually just started getting into Doom and am really liking the movement and that engine, and I've been into Metroid forever. What about RPG and/or strategy games have a lot of good mods? Is Morrowind worth it if I thought Skyrim and Oblivion were mediocre?

>>15344682

Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes

Pokemon

Mountain Blade

Super Monkey Ball 2 for the GC has been getting several decent rom hacks after a level editor was built. Finding them is a pain though as the community is stuck in Discord and shares the links on Twitter. The only reason I heard about it was by following the speed running community for it.

Mario Kart for the Wii has a large community that is playing online on their own servers and making their own custom tracks.

http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Main_Page

Super Mario 64 is also still getting new rom hacks.

Link's Awakening has a really good Hard Awakening hack, basically a Master Quest.

For Fire Emblem hacks, try

>Road to Ruin

>Order of the Crimson Arm

>Staff of Ages

Rockman 4 minus infinity

>>15345245

Came here to post this!

I recommend Hyper Metroid as well.

Endless content

https://alttsm.speedga.me/randomizer

https://dessyreqt.github.io/smrandomizer/

https://alttpr.com/

there are none, isozone was hosting all of the hacks and no one else bothered to host them elsewhere

>>15354516

Get fucked.

Romhacking.net is pretty much the repository of all hacks, but bigger ones have to be stored offsite. This means stuff like de-localizations, un-dub hacks, and other stuff for disc-based games tends to require Mediafire or something else to host it.

The reason why there aren't many good gameplay hacks is that it's very difficult to make a living while studying programming, especially ASM for 6205 and Z80 CPUs, so not everybody can kick back on mommy and daddy money to figure out how to say, turn Zelda 2 into something more like a traditional Zelda game. Well, one of those exists, but it doesn't run on flash carts.

>>15354516

lolwut? If you want prepatched shit, just look for GoodSet/NonGood/UnRenamed.

Pokemon Red++

>>15354685

Well i found this…

http://touyatakagiri.blog38.fc2.com/blog-entry-327.html

Good luck finding anything of quality however.

>Are there any japanese romhacks with fakemons?

Vega, it even has a translation patch for some reason;

its unbalanced as fuck however, i think there's another patch for that(never played the patch so can't really verify its quality).

It also has a sequel(altair and sirius) and it itself is a sequel(Deneb and Procyon)

>>15344682

Oblivion and Skyrim are like Morrowind with a lot of features cut out, and with the focus awkwardly shifted away from dialogue and exploration when the engine was made first and foremost with dialogue and exploration in mind. So if you either found Oblivion and Skyrim really barebones or found that you liked talking with people and exploring the world in Oblivion and Skyrim and wished that the developers had actually given a shit about either of those things then Morrowind will be for you.

>>15354594

>turn Zelda 2 into something more like a traditional Zelda game

Why would someone want to ruin the best Zelda game?

>>15354765

morrowind is like console skyrim/daggerfall/oblivion frankenstein. It's shit.

>>15354832

Why is it crossed out?

>>15354685

>touhou puppet play

Have you played Puppet Dance Performance? It's not a romhack like Puppet Play. It's a completed and fully translated PC game that sort of finishes what Puppet Play set out to do, without being Pokemon Essentials RPG Maker bullshit at that. I remember it having online functionality too, but I never tried it.

Some good romhacks I've played

>SNES

>Mario 100s Challenge

Every stage is a 100 second race to the finish. Features good level design, custom power-ups and wall jumping.

>Hyper Fucking Metroid

An all new game built on top of "Project Base". Graphics are beautiful, level design is great and that fucking escape sequence

>8th & 9th SMWC Vanilla Level Design Contests

Compilation of levels from the SMWC forums.

>Super Mario World Call fo Cthulhu

Weird hack with a laughable premise done pretty well, actually.

>Mario is Missing (Done Right)

Basic hack starring Luigi, with fun and simple level design

>Megaman X3 Zero Project

You can play with Zero through the whole fucking game. Features some cool custom animations.

>Hyper Street Kart

Super Mario Kart with the Street Fighter 2 cast. The spritework is adorable and the custom tracks are fun.

>Super Metroid "Project Base" (and "Ancient Chozo")

Overhaul of the Super Metroid Engine and map structure. Made as a "base" for other hacks to be built upon. "Ancient Chozo " is a graphical enhancement which looks beautiful

>"Umihara Kawase 2 Journey" & "Uku"

"Journey" lets you go through the whole game without a time limit, with 50 lives. Uku is a level hack for more experienced players.

NES

>Kirby's Bizarre Adventure

A level hack that disables Kirby's floating, forcing you to focus on platforming and the use of your powers

>Metroid mOther

A combination of Graphical and QOL enhancements for the Original Metroid.

>Metroid Rogue fucking Dawn

A whole new Metroid game with beautiful custom graphics, physics and a God-tier soundtrack (embed related)

>Super Mario Bros 3Mix

A level hack with many engine changes, and a playable Toad.

>>15345250

>Hyper Metroid

A man of taste, I see.

>>15344682

FFVI has a hack going for some years now called "Brave New World" and there's a huge update coming soon. There's also ffhacktics.com, a whole site dedicated to FFT hacks

ArmA games have shittons of mods. Mainly about vietnam.

>>15344642

sonic has a very large number of fangames

you should look up SAGE 2018 on youtube

>>15363547

>and contacted the oneangrygamer people and basically got them to write a polygon/kotaku tier hitpiece about how "SJWS's took over sage"

>It was a shitty situation but it's certainly not sage being filled with SJW's or whaever

To be fair, he came armed with no small number of screenshots showing at least 2 members of the team are pretty hardcore SJWs, and 2 others consistently backing them up (although they could just be meek pussies going with the flow). How many people are actually working on the project? I can't imagine you have a huge team.

>>15354706

Digging through this, i found a couple of intresting dead projects and a few ones that actually went anywhere.

http://pokemonig.wiki.fc2.com/wiki/%E7%99%BB%E5%A0%B4%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3

This is one is a bit notable for showing off some fakemon, but might not be finished;

and if thats the case it will never be finished, as the last update was in 2013.

http://niyaneko1206.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-36.html

Another fakemon hack that looks unfinished, doesn't look too high quality either.

http://seesaawiki.jp/kaizopokemon/

Another Fakemon hack, seems to be unfinished and stopped at 2012.

Seem to be meme games, i vaguely remember running into one of them and that one being considered good.

Looking at it, it must be a pretty old blog post or something, you could probably age it by the english hacks at the bottom.

It could be possible that the japanese hacking scene died however.

>>15354706

Speaking of Touhoumon, I actually found a hack with 15.5 and 16 characters.

https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/hakureireimu016mugen

>>15366914

The second time i linked

>>15354706

was suppose to be

>>15366695

in case it wasn't obvious.

>>15366695

>>15366914

The expansion for Touhou Puppet Dance Performance is also supposed to be translated within the week. It's not a ROM hack, but that's probably a good thing.

The only thing that really bothers me about it is the fact that they fucked with the types, like some of the later ROM hacks.

>>15367058

Are the gameplay in these actually good or is it just if you are a touhou/moefag

>>15367064

>gameplay

fuck i'm tired, obviously it's just pokemon gameplay

I mean, like, the level pacing, map design, level up sets of each girl/mon, etc.

>>15367065

Well the actual "pokemon" are balanced pretty well and a lot of gimmicks are actually usable main game.

A lot of touhoumon hacks are pretty much fire red but with different types and replaced mons.

>the level pacing, map design, level up sets of each girl/mon

As one can expect from a set of hacks made by multiple people, outside of the mons themselves the map/level pacing can basically be anything from fire red to meme difficulty hacks.

I feel like most of the 2humons themselves are well balanced usually and allow you to run some varied sets in the main game.

They allow quite a few fun gimmicks and usually each mon will at least feel usable(evolved forms at least).

>>15367054

>Part of the inherent issue with those screenshots is they (the really bad ones, but all were in the middle of arguements) were taken smack dab in the middle of a giant fucking shistorm arguement.

I had already assumed that. I'm not saying the guy dindu nuffin, just that he did reveal that a few people liked to throw around typical SJW shit in the chat (ie: "racist", "misogynist", etc).

>defending martial rape

"Defended" it or merely said it was bullshit, ala "regret rape"? The latter is a pretty reasonable opinion, albeit one that SJWs and normalfags on both the left and the right will have a knee-jerk reaction to.

>you can try the demo yourself

I'd rather wait for the full release, if it ever gets finished. A lot of these projects never make it past a demo, and I don't want to get my hopes up if it's actually really good.

>>15367064

They're… Pokemon. Of the ones I've played the balancing is done quite well in that unlike Pokemon, most of the mons have a similar base stat total and a set of moves that's at least serviceable, so you have a larger viable pool of mons to make a team with.

>>15367103

Found something, this is how the readme says to patch it

>ファイアレッド→東方人形劇ver1.812 (蓮子版)→reimufatever れんこ

<Fire Red→Touhoumon Puppet Play ver1.812 (Renko Version)→Reimufatever Renko

As a note if you want mari as your main character, you then need to patch it a forth time with reimufatever メリー

>>15367180

However as a note, it also makes the oak screen a crash;

so you need to start the game without it.

>>15367201

The actual hack crashes on the oak screen, you need to make a save file to avoid oak.

Just save before getting your starter or something(i did that because shit natures tend to hurt).

Does anyone have that skeleton hack for Super Mario Bros.? I couldn't ever figure out the name of it or anything.

>>15363091

>"Umihara Kawase 2 Journey" & "Uku"

You got a link for that? Jewgle's giving me nothing and I can't find it on Romhacking.

>セーブデータの引継ぎはカントーのカケラセンターでセーブして引き継いでください

I'm guessing it wants me to save switch after beating the nugget bridge rival battle…

I'm too lazy to actually play through the game again, so i'll just use a save for the post game.

Mario 64 Last Impact

and

Mario 64 Ocarina of Time

are amazing romhacks that expand a lot on the base game.

StarRoad is good too but it's better to wait for the upcoming NDS version that's gonna be much better.

>>15367367

Did anyone even use anything other than IPS in 2013?

Also wow, its shocking how old this hack is.

I wonder if any of its older versions was actually in some of those patch compilations.

>>15367699

Touhoumon never particularly had very good sprites.

But yeah those are pretty bad, i think some of them had touch-ups based off of the changelog, but i'm too lazy to find them.

Final Fantasy Tactics has a few mods. FFTA actually has a really good one, grim grimoire I think is the name, which overhauls most of the game.

May as well mention that the GBA Fire Emblem games have a decent hacking scene.

The hacks i can recommend are;

>Midnight Sun

I remember having fun with this one, though i don't remember the quality of the story. special mention to it having 2hu music in it

>The Last Promise

>Requiem

I haven't played these, but they're usually thrown around as a good hacks.

>FEGirls

A japanese hack that adds fun stuff to the game(stealing weapons, multiple dancers, bizarre classes like mage thief), the name is based around one of its main features;

you get to use basically every girl character from the gba era(enemy or ally).

It is really difficult however.

>Midori

Similar to FEGirls, this is a hack that adds random things(Skills and tradable stat-boosting rings) and is named after the fact that it has all the green haired characters in the series in it.

Both Midori and FEGirls have an english patch as a note, however i believe they're just UI translations.

>>15363091

Just tried it; Rogue Dawn is surprisingly good for a romhack, especially one that's a total conversion. Good shit anon

>>15368444 (nice trips)

It has a lot of easter eggs, sequence breaking and hidden stuff, anon. Bomb the shit out of everything, and have fun.

>>15366541

how far along is the game? Any predictions as to when it will be completed?

There are a lot of mods for Skyrim. I don't like Bethesda games in general as they tend to have no story, but the total conversion Enderal blew me away. Great story, great quests, with voice acting in both German and English. More details here: https://sureai.net/games/enderal/?lang=en

Sadly, the base of the game is still Skyrim so expect shitty/shallow combat and poor controls

There are some pretty good mods for Diablo 2 apart from the obvious Median XL. Some serious autism went into these.

>Reign of Shadows

>Eastern Sun

>Battle for Elements

>>15371011

Are there any fixes to up the rez on it? last i tried it,it was pretty bad and fullscreen only

>>15371130

Also, I forgot Rockman CX.

Probably the best Rockman hack there is from a technical standpoint.

Sonic Mania is pretty good.

>>15368114

I tried Requiem. It was difficult, but for all the wrong reasons. Actively required exploiting mechanics to get anywhere.

Other I've tired

>>15344901

have been fairly good. Better than 13 onward.

>>15354706

Vega just has really hard bosses. First one is legit OP even if you have something it's weak to, but the rest are easier once you have a good team.

There aren't actually a lot of finished Pokemon hacks that aren't just difficulty/full pokedex mods. Orange (the Crystal one) is apparently getting there, with the creator saying he's finalizing the last area of the main game.

>>15371584

Bumping to ask about this again. I've always wanted to get into it but it was a bitch to get running in Windows 7 last time I tried.

>>15379092

Depends on how much of a toaster we're talking about. I could run it fine on a 2015 rig

>>15379092

Also damn, that's a pretty neat romhack idea.

>>15379092

Mod should run on be able to run if you can run vanilla Med2. Battles don't take long at all in SS, and its pretty much just a "vanilla enhanced" mod imo. But there are a bunch of options I think in the campaign settings launcher to add in some dude's submod. BYG's grim reality or something, and it adds in shitloads of traits, ancillaries, supply system and a bunch of other things I can't remember. I'm sure all of it is campaign map based stuff though

>>15380052

Case 1 is great because it doesn’t last long. It’s short and sweet. Case 2 was just alright if a bit drawn out. Case 3 was easily the worst and could be taken out entirely and rework case 2 to include the basic shit case 3 puts in to be referenced to in case 5. Case 4 is pretty alright and Case 5 has so many red herrings that it muddles the case to a point. Overall, Conflict of Interest is just okay. It does manage to nail the characters, however.

I'm very surprised nothing in the way of bethesda stuff has popped up yet, specifically fallout.

>>15382913

>Case 3 was easily the worst

Seriously?? I absolutely loved case 3. Woman was the only downside in my opinion, other than that I was constantly laughing during it. Stumbling upon Apollo or various characters on Ace Fanclub was great

>>15382968

Yes, seriously. It was a dreadful slog to me that had no importance other than to act as a commentary on a subsection of aa fans.

>>15382343

I played a bit of newer on my Wii back in the day and it was a beautiful game. Thanks for reminding me about it and the DS version, dear anon.

>>15386033

I just realized that I didn't post the images in this post in the same order I was going over the sketch so that might be confusing for people, whoops

Anyways, in case you are wondering why Simon, Sofia, and Ricardo have dark skin, the region is based on latin america, hence their attire and the large amount of southwest US,Mesoamerican, central american, andean, and south american inspired pokemon in the dex >>15366541. In addition to the evil team characters there's also a few gym leaders with final art, and some with non-finalized sketches/with their designs still in flux I can post.

Simon, Sofia, RIcardo, and the evil team admins/commanders also have decided teams, which you can look up on the wiki

Super Mario RPG Armageddon. Autistic levels of post-game content, really cool tweaks that make the game challenging in the right ways.

Paper mario Pro Mode. Excellent way to replay Paper Mario

Hyper Metroid. Considered best romhack of Super Metroid

AM2R: Excellent remake

Pokemon Reborn ironically fun pokemon fangame

Insane Difficulty.net was a really neat community for reblance mods to make games more challenging like Ocarina of time Masterquest but for stuff like FFT or Dragon Quest.

But last i heard one of the big souls youtubers -the older ones before it became a meme game- ENB i think, though i stopped watching his shit years ago, linked to the site and the "i want a challenge" audience got drowned under "OMG US HARDCORE GAMERS AMIRITE… BUT WHAT IF WE MAKE IT A BIT EASIER, FAIRS FAIR EH? MY VIEWERS HATE ME HITTING A WALL" shit, the host went MIA for months and i think the original userbase relaunched it as "NG+.net" or something.

>>15386179

> "Super Mario RPG Armageddon. Autistic levels of post-game content, really cool tweaks that make the game challenging in the right ways."

>tfw I can't even get past Bowser's Castle.

>>15386179

Reborn is alright from a gameplay perspective but it's got one of the most sterotypical edgy fanfic tier plots you can imagine

>>15386183

Yeah, they restarted as NGplus.net

Still have all the old content. Brave New World is a solid choice to dabble in, rips out all the insanely broken stupid shit in ff6 to make an actual fun game instead.

There's also a good Lufia 2 mod that expands on spell repertoires, and then makes them affect your stats, so your choices of what spells you learn (because you don't have enough space to buy them all for everyone) would give various stat bonuses, letting you make actual builds out of the characters.

http://ngplus.net/index.php?/files/file/34-lufia-2-age-of-the-sinistrals/

And this little number which overhauls FF5 into a entirely new battle system inspired (ripped off?) from bravely default, along all kinds of new mechanic and balance changes.

http://ngplus.net/index.php?/files/file/50-final-fantasy-v-void-divergence/

Oh, and this little number that makes tactics ogre even more fucked up then it already was, in mostly good ways

And for the crazy among you, since someone already mentioned Armageddon, There's this little gem.

http://ngplus.net/index.php?/files/file/8-final-fantasy-vi-return-of-the-dark-sorcerer/

RotDS is chock full of meme fuckery, weirdness, and things that don't belong in ff6, somehow coming together to make a entertaining game experience, in spite of the ridiculousness of it on the surface.

>>15344642

most your standard arena shooters have great mods and custom content

Unreal, Unreal tournament 99, 2004 and 3, Quake 3, and things like nexuiz (although good luck finding people on that). Some good standalone maps. Smash bros brawl modding is pretty neat, might want to look into legacy XP which presents many of the best mods. Modnations racers has some really cool shit, it's like a much bigger version of the modded mario kart scene, but with a higher standard of quality and no sketch-up tier maps due to having built in tools. Halo PC modding is near dead but plenty of interesting mods to explore. It's also a given but there's a sea of doom wads, half life 1 and half life 2 mods which are great, and plenty just built on the source engine. But most people know about those already. Zombie master Resurrection is a good stand out, there.

>>15362439

I played TPDP and can confirm it's a really nice pokemon clone. The online is similar to Soku, but you don't need Sokuroll or anything like that.

>>15344642

It'll be godly if the ones who worked on Ura Zelda and Link's Awakening 3D at least left a guide of how to make a LoZ 64 ROM hacks, sadly i'm not on that timeline, the other two optimal timelines would be that people fucked with Mario 64 so hard that could be used to replicate Zelda 64 or that there was a guide about how to make Nintendo 64 ROMs that an emulator or/and consoles would be able to run Making PS1 ISO's that could be read by PS1 emulators/consoles would be an ok alternative as well.

Unbelievable. That mod for Chrono Trigger made me laugh the hardest in a while. For those who don't know that mod basically fucks up the text in the textboxes when NPCs talk and produces all kinds of retarded speeches.

Speaking of text obfuscation, is there any software I can download to fuck up the text in ANY rom game?

>>15391290

Anon if you aren't willing to play a game just because the character is a different skin color or has different junk then you when it's not pushing an agenda, then you are being as thin skinned as SJW;'s.And I get that the oneangrygamer article might make you skeptical that it's not agenda pushing, but I've gone out oif my way to explain why that article is bullshit.

If there was any SJW shit in the game I wouldn't be here reccomending it to you, i'd be assmad over how a project I spent 3 years of my life contributing to and staying up for days at a time working on was getting ruined and tainted by virtue signalling

>>15391310

I'm sick of SJW bullshit too, but sage isn't infested with it. I'm litterally somebody who was in the chat when that crap happened and already explained what actually happened I'm litterally here, willing to answer your questions and shit about it. Fuck I could probably go dig up some screencaps of shit if you REALLY wanted.

Or, you know, you could play it and see it for yourself, but if you dion't wanna spend your time doing that I can understand that. But at least fucking take me seriously and ask me questions if you are skeptical. I'm not even a fucking dev anymore so I don't even have chips in the game. If anything i'd have more of a reason TO how the dev team is fags since I left due to drama where i was getting fucked over, yet here I speaking against the OAG article because I actually fucking give a shit about the truth and honesty.

Polite sage because this is getting REALLY off topic

>>15391310

How well does chrono trigger hold up?

>>15391320

Right. I mean everyone has pointed out two members dog pilled a guy, but it sounded like two others kicked him from writing. Not to mention it sounds like no one else spoke out in defense of him. As far as I know no one else has left after this, and if true it must mean they are complicit with it.

We've all seen Trump Derangement Syndrome, and this is it.

> Hate the person, not the idea

> You have different opinions to me, so I'm going to keep saying you're awful until it sticks

If it wasn't for it being a fan game, I'd have expected a patreon.

>>15391352

Why did you reply to me twice to one post?

And if you are sick of SJW shit- why didn't you walk out or defend this poor fuck when this all happened?

In fact- why defend them when you're not a dev anymore? Speaking of, where are you getting those images from BTW? I've seen you post before (and where I got the OAG story from), and a lot of those images are new.

You have to see why we'd think this is odd.

If you don't have vested interest in it, you sure don't look like it.

I get showing off something that looks good, don't get me wrong. But if it's only the visuals that are better- who cares? What about the gameplay is better? Are we talking a real challenge, is there modifications to the battle system?

Why should I play this when it's just a nice coat of paint with a rotten core of making some asshole happy he did this instead of a real job?

>>15391404

A man beaten every day is gonna hate the sight of a rod. I get what you mean. "This game's protag is a woman" used to be something to make you interested. A sexy character that was still (kind of) well written and deep. Now it means a man-jaw'ed harpie with problem glasses that is about 150lbs lighter than the hambeast who self-inserted when she designed her.

Hell, if I wrote a story nowadays, I wouldn't want to do female, gay, or non-white characters. Even if I did it well, no one wants to see that shit right now.

I think the designs of the protags still look good, but they could just put in the 3 skin tone variants like with the official Pokemon games. Maybe 3 different hair colors as well, but blonde and brown might clash with the color scheme

Gonna need to split this up

> Not to mention it sounds like no one else spoke out in defense of him.

I did, as did multiple other people, as I already said. Fuck if you want me to I can probably find screencaps of me doing it. Anyways, as I explained this started in off topic chats where it at first was just a run of the mill random arguement, before it evolved into two people basically always bringing it up whenever he talked about anything. It was obnoxious and annoying not just to him but all of us. Multiple people told them to stop being asshats and multiple people outright quit the off topic channel as a result of it. The idea of banning the people from off topic was seriously considered, but ultimately nothing came of it.

Again, you have to remember that like 80% of the project is anons. Calling each other faggots and insulting each other comes with the territory. If YOU were in a private group with a bunch of fellow anons, and somebody proposed a rule to ban bullying and being mean, how would you take it? You'd go "fuck that", right? That was why it wasn't nipped in the bud.. If it actually interfered with development people would have put their foot down, but by the time it happened the guy getting bullied basically had become so paranoid that people wrre out to get him that he flipped out first and completely disrupted development and he basically was hurting development more then he was helping. Obviously it's fucking shitty that he got driven to that point. I tried to speak to him because I saw it miles in advance but he was convinced that no matter what he or I did that everybody was out to get him, when in reality litterally everybody but like 4 people saw that he was a victim in this. What happened to him sucks and is shitty but ultimately the onus is on him for refusing the help of the people who was trying to help him and allowing it to get to him that he disrupted development

>>15391397

>Why did you reply to me twice to one post?

I try to not pay attention to ID's, because I want to be able to respond to indivual posts's on their own merits and not have who the person making the post is influence how I interpret it. If I wanted to see posts as being made by specific indivuals I wouldn't be on /v/, I'd be on plebbit or some other place that has accounts and upvoting and downvoting and shit.

>And if you are sick of SJW shit- why didn't you walk out or defend this poor fuck when this all happened?

As I said above, I DID defend him. Multiple people did. As far as walking about, again, there was no actual SJW crap going on. It was a dumb spat between 3 people that was limited to off topic. If it was those 2 people actually psuhing their political opinions in the game itself then no shit i'd have walked out, but why would I walk out over just 3 people being asshats to each other in off topic? If you were in a group with some anons in a project and a few of them got into a dumb arguement and were being assholes to each other just in your vidya/anime disscusion channel, would you get up and quit over it? Or would you just tell them to stop being asshats, try to descalate etc?

>In fact- why defend them when you're not a dev anymore?

Fundamentally see this whole situation in the same light I see SJW's crap. I don't know what YOUR issue with SJW's is, maybe you are socially conversative so you just disagree with their stance on issues, but my issue with them, and the gaming press, and that stuff in general is that I see it as manipulative and hypocritical. I care a lot about intellectual honesty. Like, obviously, I think SJW's pushing for diversity and stuff is silly and foolish, but that's not what I think makes them CANCEROUS. That makes them actually harmful and cancerous is how they twist and manipulate every situation to make themselves out to be victims and other people out to be people harrassing them even though half the time it's the SJW's who are actually getting people fired and doxxed and shit, etc. As I see it, the oneangergamer article is the same shit. It may not be coming from people who want to shit games up in the name of inclusivity or whatever, fundamentally it's still somebody going off to a news site using cherrypicked screencaps and misrepresenting the truth to make a clickbait, misleading article

In other words, i'm bothering so much because I hate people being hypocritical lying assholes. Literally anybody else in the project who knows me would attest that I have get a raging hardone for bitching about people being hypocrites to the point of it being annoying. Also I stand by that I think it's the best fangame so it's just a legit recommendation.

Cont:

>Speaking of, where are you getting those images from BTW? I've seen you post before (and where I got the OAG story from), and a lot of those images are new.

I actually don't think i've posted any new images from last time, but to answer your question I still keep up with development even though I'm no longer a dev, or at least I try to. If you've seen me in other threads then you';d know I didn't exactly leave the project on good terms either (which, again, should show you that I'm telling the truth, since if anything I'd have MORE of a reason to want side with the OAG article and shit on the dev team, but i;m noit). Basically, I'm still friends with some of the people on the team and I still talk to people so sometimes they'll show me stuff or sometimes they want my feedback on stuff. In particular I had a reputation for being super detail orientated and autistic about shit so sometimes I get asked to look over something for issues, and I also was the guy who knew shit about actual ancient latin american civilizatiins and history so when they are doing, say, a map with ruins or something I'll sometimes get asked for references. But since I didn't leave on good terms people are also wary about showing me shit so I only get bits and pieces.

Also there are occasionally still update threads on halfchan. I actually lost my flash drive with the really recent stuff, and my backup only goes to like april, so I don't have any of the really new shit to show you.

>What about the gameplay is better? Are we talking a real challenge, is there modifications to the battle system?

>Why should I play this when it's just a nice coat of paint with a rotten core of making some asshole happy he did this instead of a real job?

In terms of difficulty it's definitely more of a challenge then the official games. The sort of mantra we had in terms of where we wanted the challenge to be was in between Platnium and Blazeblack. You won't need to build a super meta thought out team to beat it, but you won't be able to cruise through the game with any team of shitmons with no thought. Gym leaders have teams with actual strategies behind them, and the AI is set to actually use said strategies. Nuzlocking the game would be seriously, really challenging, since you do actually need to do some teambuilding even if the game's not so intense that some pokemon are totally unviable. I''d go look up footage/videos of the second and third gym leaders, for reference.

Beyond that, though, if you are wanting a fundamentally radical shift or improvement off of the core pokemon formula, then Sage probably isn't gonna scratch your itch. I said this earlier in the thread as an example of why people trying to push politics into the game would never happen, but the most fundamental, key mission goal of the project is making it feel like an official title: So it sticks to the pokemon fomrula closely, though with better execution in a lot of ways. There's SOME improvements, of course: There's the difficulty, as mentioned. Following pokemon are back, and in general all the neat features that the series tends to throw out with each installment are actually kept (off the top of my head, following pokemon, the Pokegear, the rematch/phone system, etc). There are key items that replicate the function of HM's so you don't need to HM slave (though none of them are in the demo and how far into the game it you'll start to get them is AFAIK undecided). The intent was to have more actual sidequests, unlike the typical pokemon games more or less being entirely linear, but as of the time I left the project there was only 1 sidequest with actual meat to it, and people didn't seem that interested in making more. The plot/writing is less braindead simple and generic then typical pokemon plots, though not too much so since people wanted to avoid, again, making it feel unofficial.

But overall it's basically meant to be a traditional pokemon game, just with a custom pokedex, region, set of characters, etc. If you want a different experience more then what you'd get from a new official game that happens to be really good rather then casualized shit like Gen 6./7 then you probably won't get much out of it.

>>15391404

I mean, yes, I do ultimately think you are being as irrationally mad as SJW's yourself here, but beyond that, i'm very, very confused who and where you are talking about. I thought you were european and talking about syrians and libyans and shit with the refugee stuff but I don't think there's SJW's pushing that middle easterns originally inhabited europe **historically writing, urbanization, comples governments did arrive in Europe from the Feritle Cresecent, admittedly* ? That's mainly a stupid black power/afrocenrist thing, no?. In any case neither of those have anything to do with spics.

>>15391310

It's called a hex editor and an assembler. If you think you can get by without learning assembler, I pity you, so I should give you a quick tour of the 9 circles of romhack hell…

1 Text:

Simple text replacement won't allow you to make many strings longer or shorter, terminated strings only give you as much wiggle room as the devs want, and its likely that the code for the UD doesn't do any bounds checks.

2. Graphics:

Graphics replacements become much harder, because they are generally color indexed, and the palette dealt with separately. Even worse if the same few are reused a dozen times.

3. Compression:

You won't be able to deal with compressed content at all, unless you happen to have a packer, and your replacements are the same compressed size or smaller.

4. Relocation:

You won't be able to relocate data and make as much use of the unused space as you can.

5. Addition:

You won't be able to add much of anything, aside from the token extra slots/dummied content you can replace and add some sort of warp to.

6. DRM:

You won't be able to neuter many integrity checks, anti-tampering, DRM.

7. Bugs:

You won't be able to fix 99% of bugs, including extra ones that arise with your tampering. All you will learn is to "not do x again because it breaks", instead of figuring out the why.

8. Mercy:

You will be at the mercy of somebody who likes low level programming and modding, who doesn't need you at all, and will get bored and move on to another project. Goes doubly so for any tools made with a game or 2 in mind, because "works for me == done".

9. Abandonment:

You are still at the mercy of a real modder if you use their unmaintained tools, and the best part is as soon as you grow a pair and start doing everything above… the old tools wont work at all. It's rare to see anything to even support the concept of relocated data, much less pointers.

It's the only piece of the puzzle that's any real work, if you can assemble, you don't need to gather a posse of nerds+SJW psychopath infiltrators who will burn your project to the ground.

Only reason that pokemon modding is where it is today is because a couple people got together and disassembled everything from GenI-GenIII, the barrier to entry is low enough that everywhere I turn, there is a "dev" or some other wiener crying about yet another fan project (that was doomed from the beginning).

>>15391559

What makes them cancerous is the lack of social accountability, so psychopaths masquerade as SJWs. It's also why they eat each other so much, psychopaths hate other psychopaths more than anything. Thus, by assigning more labels (like useless cancerous malcontents) we make this avenue less appealing until they move on to the next thing. Or you can keep sucking dick while they abuse you, I don't care.

I agree with you about the former statement, the fact that they are able to act like asshats and censor and harrass people without social consequences and basically wield all the social power is the exact problem, though I disagree that giving them labels is gonna solve it: It's just gonna give SJW"s more ammos to claim victimhood and furtther cement their control over shit.

I'm not sure how the hell you are getting from that to the "keep sucking dick while they abuse you shit", though. It should be abundently clear at this point that I can't fucking stand SJW's, and that contrary to the article sage isn't ionfested with them. Agan, i'm happy to answer further questions or even dig up screencaps to prove it and show it. If Sage really was filled with SJW's who were ruining the project like is claimed i'd have quit and i' be here telling you to avoid it.

>>15391714

>It's kikes, not SJWs

You what?. Jew's are notoriously ethnically insular; being massive pro immigration and diversity and shit is a SJW, not a jew thing. and SJW's hate jews for that matter since they are basically successful rich white people and because of muh palestinians, which is also another example of how jews aren't a fan of multiculturalism and shit. A literal core part of jewish religion is that they see themselves as a choosen people and that everybody else isn't.

>La Raza, Atzlan.

I hadn't even considered this is what you were talking about, my bad. But yes, those people are retarded: Aztlan as the term originally meant was in reference to the area that various groups of the Nahua culture came from before they migrated into central mexico in the 13th and early 14th centuries (the Aztec empire would later form out of 3 of the resulting Nahua city-states allying together). It's a real place, but it wasn't as far north as what's now the southwest US, and was instead likely around what's today the Bajio region of mexico. The reason a lot of people think that they came from what's now the US is due to a linguistic misunderstanding: The language the Nahua spoke (and the Aztec, by extension) is Nahuatl, and Nahuatl belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family, which DOES originate from what's now the US, and also includes languages such as Shohone, Comanche, and other lan uages spoken by native americans in the southwest and midwest; so retrards assume that MUST mean that native mexicans came from the US when in reality it was likley just the language spreading south into mexico, at which point eventually the nahua moved even further south into what's now central mexico; or if the Nahua and other northern native mexican groups did come from what's now the US it would have been so long ago they woudln't even count as the same ethnic group anyways.

Also, if you paid attention, you'd note that this would, ironically, make the Nahua/the Aztec foriign immigrants and invaders themselves to the existing city-states and empires in central mexico. In fact the Nahua basically entirely displaced the Otomi, who were likely the original inhabitants of the area.

>>15391800

No, the myth that there was some unified native identity/utopian society is unfortunately a real thing that some people think. In fact, my understanding is the Mexican goverment even pushes it to a degree in schools, basically focusing exclusively on the Aztecs and implying that they were the sole complex native culture and that they did everything before the Spanish came along, when in reality Pre-contact Mexico had a variety of competing political states, cultures, and ethnic groups, just like europe, asia, the middle east, etc.

Also does this game have faggots or trannies in it? It looks more like a proper pokemon game than the new ones which look ugly and round as shit and are faggy as fuck.

Here's the database to every hack that utilizes the SNES' MSU chip, a feature never utilized that would have given SNES games CD quality video and audio. If they don't work for you then either update your SNES9X or switch to higan/BSNES. Most of these use fan remixes for the soundtracks so quality is shoddy across the board, I wouldn't recommend most of these for your first playthrough.

>>15395843

Fakemon only (see the dex in >>15366541), same goes for the characters and region. It's all original, only items, moves, and gameplay concepts/mechanics are borrowed from the official games.

The canon of the official games isn't referenced at all either, though there will probably end up being a easter egg of a carving of mew in a temple somewhere, to tie into the whole "Mew was found in ruins in south america" thing.

>Also what's this about the devs? Are any of them faggots?

See>>15366579 and my subsquent replies and clarrifications, you can draw your own conclusions about the incident.

>>15395918

>Also does this game have faggots or trannies in it?

None whatsoever. Game autistically sticks to the tone of the official games, so no politics or real world references or anything like that. At one point in development a character design got changed just to remove a cigar because they wouldn't show drugs in an official game, that's how devoted it is to maintaining and feeling official.

Tried Rogue Dawn, finished it in one sitting this morning in 4 hours, Chozo Ruins fucked with me with the endless loops thing but I got the hang of it after a while. Sat down again to play it and managed 1:20, found out if you go to the save screen it immediately backtracks you to the start of the area, saved a lot of time with that. Maybe later I'll go around looking for easter eggs and other bullshit, found two, one Metroid in the Pirate ship and the other in the Hive, pretty cool how you keep springball and wave beam after finishing the game.

In short, thanks anon, I haven't had this much fun with a Metroid game since two years ago when I played AM2R. Gonna try out Project Base and Ancient Chozo now, maybe run thru Hyper Metroid again, haven't played that in about 3 years.

Nope, the fact that it's sticking to original content has been one of the core pillars of the project alongside "make it feel official".

Is there a convenient list of romhacks for Pokemon that just cram all the pokemons and events from both versions in a single one (or the third, preferably) easily accessible without event distributions or complicated workarounds, so that one version literally has all of the content visible without linking at all?

Romhacks that do JUST THAT with no edgy fakemons, plot changes, OCs, different title screens, difficulty changes (besides changing encounter rate to allow both version mons to spawn at their same original rate), and that jazz?

Speaking of Touhoumon Blue, it'd take around 630 playthroughs to fully playtest everything in it, and I don't have the fucking time to do that, so here's the beta version: https://my.mixtape.moe/rtuwlm.zip

It's nearly feature complete, I just need to balance Victory Road and the Elite Four (they're definitely too easy right now) and Trainer Tower (it was designed to be poorly designed overly-grindy bullshit) as well as redraw and replace various graphics.

The compiler frequently overwrites the first letter of dialog strings with a space, so if you see that happening or find any other bugs, I'd appreciate if you posted it to this thread. I'll be skulking around, so I'll see it.

Something I forgot to mention for anyone that wants to playtest, gym trainers and gym leaders should have a number after their name that corresponds to the number of badges you have (except for Sabrina's gym, where 1 means zero to four badges, 2 means five, and 3 means six), and if spot something wrong in any gym (such as the wrong number for your badge totals), please post the number of badges you had, which badges you had, and, if possible, the order you collected those badges.
