A home to talk, and a home for hacks

Finally, we have our forums up. If you had a comment login, you’ll need to re-register on the forums to keep commenting. But if you have questions about the games, now you won’t need to flood the news posts or email us to ask them! Just register and go! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go to the forums now! They’re currently unfinished, but for all basic intents it’s ready for you guys to start posting at.

And now to something else: I promised a Wiki of sorts for the Rijon trilogy, but I could never get around to it. I decided to follow through though, to give ROM hacks a proper home – their own page, for one, since a lot of you can’t actually afford a webspace. It’s also intended as a home for docs, so you could post your tutorials there. It’s all rudimentary, but that wouldn’t stop you from posting your hacks there, so go check it out now!  I’m also looking for people with experience on setting up a Wiki (templates, infoboxes, and the lot) so if you have experience, please shoot me an email (or comment below).

The awesomeness (this is opinion) of this pic brings the slaughter to SPAM

News: rijonAdventures is not dead. Now onto updates you might not actually be interested in:

So apparently I haven’t been doing enough to curb SPAM, so instead you get this picture to feast on rather than look at ads of crap that nobody wants.

Hope to set up a forum and use it for the comments system. It’d probably be better than WordPress’s default system because integration is delicious. In fact, I’ve gone and bought forum software (borrowing others’ is not fun) but that won’t see the light of day yet. Maybe I’ll open it up so that you guys can comment on stuff.

It’s Clock Day!

Don’t ask. Just put some strawberries in a blender, add milk, add clockworks and have fun. :) Watch out for the eventual rijonAdventures beta at some point of which I haven’t actually thought about the date for and its obscure references to this monumental day.

Horray for glitches!

This weird error surfaced in rijonAdventures and I need to get it fixed. But yeah, that’s a known glitch for you all to know. :P

To multi-select Pokémon in a box, you press the SELECT button to change the cursor into quick select mode. You then press and hold the A button over the Pokémon you want to select. Normally, the Pokémon highlight in red, but here they disappear!

This feature exists in FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. You will probably also have spotted it in Pokémon Box.

When things go wrong

Just went crazy trying to figure out why the Download buttons for each page didn’t show up. Fortunately, it’s working fine now. I’m going to start adding a download button to posts now, so if there’s a new beta or something, you can download it without navigating to each page.

Speaking of downloads, rijonAdventures was meant to be released around a month after Prism, so I may consider releasing the rijonAdventures beta a month after Prism’s upcoming beta release. Hmm.

Play your own hack, and see others do it

So, I’ve added quite a bit of stuff to rijonAdventures since the early 2009 beta. A year ago I said, “Rijon is finished, time to move onto South Rijon”, but oh was I wrong. So many little things to fix and add, text inconsistencies to iron out, high school, uni, uni, and so many annoying little things that I did that just look bad.

Yes, reviewing how your own hack looks and works is a good idea. But a good hack doesn’t just start from my own assessment of my game – it depends on what others say about it.

So I’ve been stalking the “Let’s Play” videos on YouTube. Found this guy:

(I hope he realised he needs to fix that save error. Methinks I need to make it more obvious. And another thing: I realise it’s a year old.)

I also stumbled across this video of Brown from the same person. Orangeylicious!
