Oh, yea. I dig this. Been liking a lot of the 'DX' upconverts and the like as of late. Especially, the MM GB series that have been getting looked at.
I don't suppose you have anything video-related to show off at present?

I might as well copy my development thread from RHDN to this place.
After finishing up Zelda II - Amida's Curse and Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers, I started work on my third extensive ROM hack: Embers of Mana Embers of Mana will be a brand new Mana adventure for Gameboy. This Rom hack is based on Final Fantasy Adventure (also known as Mystic Quest or Seiken Densetsu). This will be an extensive ROM hack with a new world, new graphics, new music, new dungeons, new gameplay, new story, custom events and a full colorization. Development on this hack is well underway. Planned release is at the end of 2025. I will use this topic to share progress and new screenshots. Would be great to discuss ideas with you all! More information can also be found on my website: http://www.okimpala.net Changes: - New overworld design - New dungeon design - New town design - New story - New graphics - New soundtrack - New partners - Custom events - New gameplay elements to make dungeons more interesting - Focus on the fun of exploration - Colorization Progress: - Story: 95% - Graphics: 75% - Gameplay changes: 90% - Overworld: 90% - Dungeons: 95% - Towns: 95% - Custom Events: 75% - Detail management: 50% - Dialogue: 75% - Palettes: 0% - Music: 10% - Colorization: 5% Special Thanks: - Arathron123 (Mystic Editor) - xenophile (ASM, Colorization, FFA Gender swap improvements) - MojoDodo (ASM, Colorization) - KKzero (ASM, Colorization) - PowerPanda (Font Title Screen) - WaxPoetic (Graphics Ripping) - Daid (ASM Disassembly) - Radimerry (ASM coding) - Dagmor (ASM coding) - Optomon (Music) Screenshots: Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions! ____________________ Embers of Mana (https://www.okimpala.net) Zelda II - Amida’s Curse (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=6292/) Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=5514/) Super Mario Kart - The Impala Battles (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=154) |

Excited to play this. I *LOVED* your Amida's Curse hack, and I generally never like that type of "new game within the engine" hack. |

Looks promising! For your new story quests, where do you get your inspiration and ideas from? For example, any tv show, book, or game influenced you in designing the story? |

Posted by Kenmasters Good question. I think the inspiration comes mainly from the dozens of JRPGs I played in my life! I want to create a story that is fitting for a GameBoy JRPG. The idea is "what if" Square would've released another FFA game with that unique mix of Mana and Final Fantasy elements. The story tends to be a mix of that too. ____________________ Embers of Mana (https://www.okimpala.net) Zelda II - Amida’s Curse (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=6292/) Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=5514/) Super Mario Kart - The Impala Battles (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=154) |

I'm liking what I see even before you do any new palette and customization work. Is it going to have both SGB support and a GBC mode? If both, I'd love an excuse to get SGB and if GBC only, I'm willing to play your hack on console. I love handheld RPGs. It was smart of you to prioritize the gameplay and story for completion and save these details for last - I admire your planning and sticking to it |

Posted by Oz74 I haven't decided yet on DMG support (and for that matter SGB support). I'm currently leaning on only supporting GBC as I wouldn't like it when people would start playing the DMG mode of Embers of Mana and then select their own color palette. Making my game look worse than I'd like. ____________________ Embers of Mana (https://www.okimpala.net) Zelda II - Amida’s Curse (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=6292/) Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=5514/) Super Mario Kart - The Impala Battles (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=154) |

Posted by Hiryuu Not much for now. But I plan to release a video trailer when the time is there. ____________________ Embers of Mana (https://www.okimpala.net) Zelda II - Amida’s Curse (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=6292/) Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=5514/) Super Mario Kart - The Impala Battles (https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=154) |

This looks sweet and totally like something i'd wanna play!
I also like the focus on exploration, in which regard did you underline this? I'm totally rooting for this (a good term considering Mana Tree lol). |
