SO, I HOPE YOU DON'T USE THE FILESIZE EXCUSE TO NOT INCLUDE POKEMON MUSIC

I WONT ACCEPT POKEMON WITHOUT POKEMON THEMES! xD

Haha, like I said: I'd really like to include, but even if I can somehow get an entire game's worth of music down to just 1.2 MB (which is already pretty unrealistic), that's still a very large chunk of my 8 MB max.

Btw, I can optimize mp3 files for you. For example, I once optimized a 2mb file into just a few hundred kb. Without losing much of its audial quality. And if you're gonna make models realistic, please don't make the pokemon look creepy or disgusting or scary, I mean, they're not supposed to be like that. And I can give/sketch you or the modeler some ideas about realistic pokemon. And if you search the net, there are some good ones that look realistic but doesn't ruin the pokemon's cuteness or original, memorable look.

Give me a single song, 8 mb song, and import it into a map, let's see how much filesize will it take

I'm pretty Confident in this, as you see, my Day of sagittarius and my current project uses song that are 12 mb

Here's a look at Caterpie and Metapod!

RandomPogi · Jun 17, 2012

Aaaaawesome. Btw, you could use the cartoonish Pokemon models on other sites, and I could retexture them to make them more realistic, or fitting to wc3.

I Successfully converted "Champion Battle!" for 15.4MB --> 1.3 MB,

and "Wild Pokemon (Kanto)" for 10.4MB --> 963 kb.

Audacity and Lame Encoder did the magic

Tell me if you want me to send it.

Quality at its finest(16k+ Ghz), & Mp3 Format

MuAHAHAHA, NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE? CALL ME MIRACLE

RandomPogi · Jun 20, 2012

You can post them here and I'll take a listen, but I won't make any promises. 10.4MB>963KB is an amazing transformation, but that's still 2MB for TWO songs. That's a quarter of my maximum filesize for the map for two songs. Can you see why I'm hesitant to add music?

I was using this in my pokemon map,
So it kinda cut off in some part of the song, to make it "Loop" (With Play music at offset).
when the current song ends.

Tell me if you want the full version xD

While waiting for the next major update, here are some brand new screenies of Blackwell in its final development stages.

Blackwell's architectures reaches high into the mountains, where its steeples and spires illuminate the sky above the city.

The hundred steps up to the Life Tree give a perfect view of the city across the narrow river.

A view of Blackwell from the Aviary-- even from afar, Blackwell's glow can be seen.

Gekigengar · Jun 30, 2012

Can I have those cube/bricks model?
Where you find it?

Chaosy · Jul 2, 2012

the terain is really nice, send me a PM if you need ideas or help in triggering.

Wolfe · Jul 2, 2012

I am absolutely loving this project! The terrain is truly beautiful. I remember your old project, mango. The terrain in that one was also quite remarkable. Looking forward to seeing some more of the Pokemon.

Thanks Wolfe! I can tell you that means a lot, as I'm an avid fan of your Everwood Project.

And I'm glad you remember my Dreamers Project! That project has taken a ton of turns, but it's still something I'd like to finish. Pokemon Chronicles, however, is my primary focus as I'm able to release this in portions, making my goals much more feasible. Unfortunately for the Dreamers Projects, my progress is just too slow to keep a thread updated.

As an update: I'm back at work here after taking a short time off. I just passed some life-changing moments in my life, so a break was needed.

I just finished (finally) the terrain for the next playable update.
Which is MAJOR PROGRESS.

Next, I'd like to finish a few quests, namely some original quests that I already made big progress on for the earlier playable area but I've since found are bugged. Not sure if I'll get around to adding quests to the Blackwell area in order to push that update out, but I'd like to. We'll see what time allows me to do.

Finally, a handful of new Pokemon to play around with.

That's the plan, I'll try to keep you better updated on how I'm doing!

Arcisal · Aug 8, 2012

Will the quests be actual quests that drive the story, if you have one as well? Or are they simply a means of earning EXP?

IMO, quests should let the player get more in tune with the region they're in, like the original pokemon games, such as the Silph Co. Crisis or the Safari Zone Warden's Lost Gold Tooth. EXP can be earned by challenging other trainers.

But excellent job as usual!

BTW, I suggest you update your first post. Or at least have some links to the posts which contain updates.

Yes, quests are very story-oriented, and will be very involved. Quests will function to lead you to new areas and gyms, as well as simply tell you a little bit of lore and history. Of course, you can skip the quests and just grind out your training against other trainers too.

Now, I'm very excited to introduce our first community-created Pokemon! These are entirely new Pokemon that may make an appearance in Pokemon Chronicles -- either in this form or adjusted for the game. Both are completely Drunken_Jackal's ideas, so a very big thank you to him!

So please take a look at Huntowl and Birizard, and let these inspire your imaginations for your own ideas for abilities and lore for any of the original 150 Pokemon or your own creation!

Huntowl takes a role of a Physical Sweeper. He would He can spam his move Agility and Hone Claws then use moves such as Slash and Chip Away. Creep is a very useful move which makes the attribute of the next spell to Dark. This way, he can deal with Ghost types easier.

Range: 0

Evolution of Huntowl if he levels up (Should be 35 or up) with a Icy Feather. Has better Sp. Def and Speed than Huntowl. He becomes a beast with Defiant and if Offense is used. Birizard has mostly Physical moves, which his Attack Stat improves greatly.

Although his previous counterpart is known for his Dark-typed moves, Birizard sports Ice-types moves. Birizard is a better Physical Sweeper than Huntowl, but he only has Ice-Typed moves.

Drunken_Jackal · Aug 9, 2012

Yay to my ideas being posted :{D
NOTE: Birizard is not to be confused with Charizard :{P

Their both Owl Pokemons.
