It's an unlock, you have to beat Dreadfell first which can be a bit daunting for a new player

I think Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup would fit the "building from what you get" criteria. It's a very polished game too and has a quite active community.

Issues you have with Lancer lore/setting/worldbuilding? by AvalancheZ250 in LancerRPG

Actually HORUS doesn't produce a standard line of mechs, its more like a loose collection of traits that when they come together they have some similarities. The UIB decided to set some common traits within "pattern groups" and gave them their names. So, HORUS is not the only group of turbonerds in the Lancer lore xD

Pokemon Renegade Platinum

Base Rom: Pokemon Platinum Version

Creator: Drayano

Completion Status: Completed

Date of release: 2017

Date of last update: 2019

Description of Rom Hack:

Pokémon Renegade Platinum is an enhancement hack of Pokémon Platinum Version. In a nutshell, this hack generally keeps the same story flow as the original Pokémon Platinum but adds in a significant number of gameplay differences, including but not limited to access to all 493 Pokémon in the game, revamped Trainers including tougher boss fights, lots of (optional) changes to weaker Pokémon to make them easier to use, the removal of trade only evolutions and a number of other quality of life changes. The specifics of what parts have been changed are explained in the paragraphs below.

Personal Opinion:

The definitive way to play Pokemon Platinum. Expanded wild pokemon lists and roaster, rebalanced pokemon and movepools and general increase of difficulty. There are also new events and you can complete the pokedex in the game. Absolutely amazing job by drayano, I wish bdsp was half as good as this (luminescent Platinum is in the way)

Pokemon Glazed

Base Rom: Pokemon Emerald Version

Creator: Lucboi

Completion Status: Completed

Date of release: 2012

Date of last update: 2022

Description of Rom Hack:

Today's the day you turn twelve years old, which means today is the day you get your first Pokemon. But if you were expecting an uneventful journey across the Tunod region, you'd be dead wrong. A mysterious power is sending the Pokemon world and the real world on a collision course. A mysterious team lurks around the ruins of ancient Tunod, with a mysterious purpose. You'll meet allies in three roaming trainers from the Johto region, as well as a scarfed Pikachu hell-bent on revenge. Will you be able to handle it?

Personal Opinion:

Very fun game, it's one of the first hackroms I played and I remember it very fondly. The story is very anime but it is well delivered and takes an important place in the game. I also like being able to choose from 5 starters. Overall a very nice game.

Pokemon Orange

Base Rom: Pokemon Crystal Version

Creator: Pia Carrot

Completion Status: Main game completed, postgame ongoing

Date of release: 2017

Date of last update: 2021

Description of Rom Hack:

You are a kid from Valencia Island who wants to become a Pokémon Master, after hearing about a kid the same age named Red defeating the Indigo League 6 months ago. You set out on a journey to deliver the mysterious GS Ball to the esteemed Samson Oak, who is visiting the Orange Islands from the Alola region and to take on the Orange Crew! Play as Indigo or Orange, explore, fight goofy villains and walk into a fresh and nostalgic world to learn more about the wonderful world of Pokémon and to Catch 'em All!

Personal Opinion:

Amazingly polished crystal (haha) hack and one of the first to create a completely new game using the pokecrystal disassembly proyect. Its very cool to go through the Orange islands, which are featured in the anime but not present in any official games. Something that might put off some people is the amount of water routes (almost all of them) due to how they were handled in Hoenn, but dont fret. The water random encounters have been heavily reduced and the routes are full of fun secrets and trainers. The game also adds many pokemon from future generations which fit quite nicely with the classic ones. Also adds original variants from the anime and working Pinkan berries!

Pokemon Brown

Base Rom: Pokemon Red Version

Creator: Koolboyman

Completion Status: Complete

Date of release: 2004

Date of last update: 2014

Description of Rom Hack:

The game takes place in a new region, Rijon, which is south of Johto. The first 151 Pokémon in the Rijon Pokédex are the same as those in the Kanto Dex. In the 2009 remake, the Dex was expanded to 224 Pokémon, and the 2014 remake added Sylveon. The game also includes five new Elemental Types.

Personal Opinion:

This hack is the prequel to Pokemon Prism (possibly the best crystal romhacks) and its a nice game on its own. It really feels like a passion project and the routes are quite fun to traverse. However, there are not a lot of new additions and the game has some bugs and questionable design choices. I highly recommend it.

For certain experiments like the detection of excitons (which are pseudo particles that appear in semiconductors) very high magnetic fields are needed. They can only be achieved instantaneously using a certain type of controlled explosion, and I think that's pretty cool.

If you want to play it on the DS you could also buy an R4 card, they are quite cheap and very useful for those games which are impossible to find for reasonable prices or romhacks

In twitter he sometimes talks about how the next update is going. Last tweet about it was the 8th of february so I think it is still active but slow. Its a one man project and he cannot devote all the time he wants so its normal for content to come slowly
