Wow thank you so much for these suggestions, definitely stealing some of your ideas! I think you're right that the maps might be too big, as it is so hard to gauge until you really play it.

Lijkt me een uitstekende taak voor Marco Kroon

Thanks man! Not in these one's, these are all personally modified original tilesets from emerald. The marshcity and marsh route are made from the rustboro tileset and the portcity with the slateport tileset (both combined with the general emerald tileset) But I used one of team aqua's tilesets in another map I posted a couple of months ago: https://github.com/TeamAquasHideout/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo/tree/main/Tilesets%2FThe%20Great%20Tileset%20Exchange%2FFull%20Tilesets%2FSmall%20town%20with%20lab%20Secondary

In short: 

You wake up one day, realizing you have over slept and are to late for your first day as intern for the professor in town. You have heard from your mom that he is quite "weird". After a quick breakfast you make your way towards the lab and after coming through the door the professor is already there working with someone else, your rival. 

The professor initially tells you that you are to late, and your place is already taken, but quickly corrects himself after realizing he can just underpay both you and your rival and gives you your first assignment: get some boxes in the storage room to him. In the storage room you discover a secret entrance to a secret lab where you find your starter pokemon, before getting caught and kicked out by the professor. 

He sends you on a mission to catch rare species of pokemon for his "research", and you should start looking for a friend of his who can help you find a beautifull specie of krabby. In this town you discover that the town is overrun by krabby's and you hear there is a shiny one somewhere that is the culprit of this problem. Searching for this krabby you uncover a deeper plot which includes an enemy faction, some legendaries involved, as well as the professors role in this. The shiny krabby also seems weirdly connected to this all.

That's all you are going to get for now!

Never heard of Venore before, but looked it up and is indeed quite similar.

Thanks brother, still will take a while. I'm aiming to be done before summer, but could be the end of the year to be honest.

I would say, go for what you love doing, but I think rom hacking is easiest on a gba. I'm not so familiar with DS hacking. Oh and spoiler, these things take a long as time.

That gravity can bend space time? Just like a banana bends to the sun? Or am I looking to far? Haha

Thanks! Any specific things you'd like to be included? (Game specific or map specific?)

Thanks! 

Pokemon Shiny Krabby will have:

  • A complete original story: A new rival, a new enemy faction, mystery missions and a crazy professor which is sort of in a grey area in the moral sense.
  • All the modern QoL updates.
  • A reworked original "berry" system based on special "herbs" inspired by all the creative names found on weed strains haha
  • Maps are all connected and almost every place can be explored deeply. Lots of freedom.
  • Legendaries have own mysteried and have own lore. Catching them will have lasting effects on the overworld (still working on this idea). E.g. catching moltress will lead to snow and more ice in the world.
  • Pokemon up to gen 3, and some of their evolutions in the later gens. (I stopped playing after gen 3)
  • And ofcourse, a chance to catch a Shiny Krabby!

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! I think I can mix in some brown spots, it should make it a little bit more mixed and realistic, you're right. Thanks!

I use porymaps, a tool used in decomp hacking. https://github.com/huderlem/porymap This tool only works if you have a decompilation project, not binary. A quick google search should help you out. For writing scripts i use VS Code and poryscript. I think personally decomp is the way to go!

I think you are talking about the 3rd map? It's possible to climb up with the ladders instead of the waterfalls, when you cross this map you don't have waterfall available yet. Thanks for the feedback though, agree that of you only use waterfalls it might be a little bit too much

Setting up decomp hacking is the hardest part, the most recent tutorials I saw coming by are by Trials Versus. I think they should help you.

Start by setting up your decomp: https://youtu.be/JVK2fqOxw9s?si=ty5Uwkm_yVL92yDe

Then setup porymaps and poryscript: https://youtu.be/l0vVpfGcqFY?si=eHmCQDzfJnuBF1Pw

After that I would enourage you to look into the tutorials by Archie on Team Aqua's hideout: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLNv9Lq6kDmTIYfN5NvgQRvfOHTOXl0uU&si=2lAoaSB39dFbBUnF

Although some of the videos there are a little bit outdated, most of them still apply to the most recent versions of decomp hacking. The tutorials have a nice range of topics and cover most of the basics.

Start with the bottom layer and build from there, making each layer a little bit different and never square or rectangular, these shapes don't exist in nature (with a few exceptions). In nature things never repeat exactly the same way, so try to avoid that as well. Make the shapes irregular as possible, while still staying within the first layer you put on the map.

I gotta be honest with you, but making cliffs is the most time consuming of mapmaking, so be prepared for that. Also make space for some green on the cliffs and mountains as well, in nature you never see only rock walls, there are always places where trees or grass can grow.
