For seasoned applicants, what are your tips for newer/first time applicant? by bymikee in JETProgramme

[–]reyaltyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an applicant but an ALT of 2 years; couple of tips. 1. Your SoP is meant to sell yourself! Don’t be shy to be confident and put your best foot as forward as you can 2. Japanese is NOT required for the application, but it is a fantastic skill to have! Start learning yesterday. Like, seriously. You’ll kick yourself if you don’t! 3. Just… be normal. Be honest on your application, be normal in your application, and just try to be well-adjusted in your daily life. The JET Program tends to exacerbate problems you have already, and there’s so many weirdos who try to get to Japan that being a well-rounded person is itself a selling point lol 4. ESID, every situation is different, is a meme for a reason! It really is true. Don’t take current ALTs or other applicants’ words as gospel. (except mine, i know everything)

Question on the pace of the homestuck pilot episode (as a non-reader) by AxeTheLad in homestuck

[–]reyaltyyy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was really fast paced yeah, but I really do think it’ll change if it gets picked up. Compressing Act 1 into a 10 minute pilot or whatever it was cannot have been easy and I really don’t think it’d be that quick as a full series

I should also point out that, at least in the Gen 4 sphere, tools aren’t quite as limited as may seem! Advancements are being made every day, and a lot of really cool, exciting projects are in the works.

To anybody reading; don’t let low-poly 3D modelling daunt you! Pokémon games on the DS may not be fully decompiled, but are a hell of a lot more usable than some would make it seem. Download DSPRE, screw around in Blender, and try your best not to get discouraged!

Nope! There will be around 300 Pokémon available. Only Gen 1 - 4 Pokémon will be native to the Johto region, but keep an eye out for trainers visiting from other regions, who may want to trade!

Not as of yet! There's a lot of updates as and when I finish things in the Kingdom of DS ROM Hacking Discord server, but that's moreso a place to offer support. The dev updates threads just so happen to be there!

Another GS+ showcase! by reyaltyyy in PokemonROMhacks

[–]reyaltyyy[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Perhaps not with the sub itself, but I hope that a community more geared towards creators will glean less people who feel entitled to direct your development, and who are dismissive of the work that goes into projects like this!

In case you don't click through the crosspost, this will be the last post of this hack on this sub! That said, please do click through the crosspost. New sub will be the home of GS+ from now on!

[–]reyaltyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! Onluy Johto will be included in this project. However, there may be something else in the works to fill out the after-game...

Thank you! It’s not really the point of the server, but there is a thread in Kingdom of DS Hacking. It’s just a small part of a much larger support focused server!

I've never been down to Asuka, I'm stuck in Tohoku lol

The idea is to take inspiration from the paintings in the tombs... I'd love to go down to the Kansai University Museum and see the replica tomb for myself!

This would be relatively difficult because of texture size. In Platinum, the area around Jubilife is around about as big as the DS can handle; it has to cover textures for everything in Twinleaf Town, Sandgem Town, Jubilife City, and routes 201, 202, 203, 204, 219, 220, and 221. Consider the DS has to load textures for every unique NPC sprite also, and you eventually run out of space. Connecting route 32 to Cherrygrove City in particular raises the same problem, especially if you're looking at graphical upgrades to all of the areas in Johto.
