FireRed hack: Pokémon Odyssey [Beta 3.5.4]

[PacoScarso_]

► INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone! Long story short: this is a crossover project featuring Pokémon, Made in Abyss, and Etrian Odyssey.
It's a dungeon-crawler with a story-driven focus, but don't worry, you don't need to be familiar with Etrian Odyssey or Made in Abyss to enjoy the game to the fullest!

► STORY

On an island in the middle of the sea stands a massive maze knows as the "Yggdrasil Labyrinth", which has been attracting adventurers from all over the world for years.
No one knows how deep it goes, or if there's anything at its end.
Some say there's a treasure of immeasurable value hidden within, while others claim the remnants of a lost civilization lie there.
In the game you'll play as Nyx, a young adventurer who joins the guild of Talrega with the goal of unraveling the Labyrinth's mysteries.
But something goes terribly wrong…

The art for this hack looks beautiful! I've never played the other games you've mentioned, but I'm excited for the English version

 

[Inner Rhymes]

Oh wow, i love the tiles and battle backgrounds you've used. I like the overall idea of what you are going for in this project. I'm really looking forward to the English translatied demo. ~

To be honest it's been pretty long time not seeing any room hack with new region and story, most of it being dropped, i hope someday this will be completed, please stay healthy and stay safe

Also how many gym in the future you plan for this game?

Anyway, there are no Gyms in this game, as well as no evil team or Pokémon League.

[NotDWaddler]

So real question:

What are the odds of a

Primevil/Yggdrasil Core-esque thing

being the final boss?

Or, lord forbid,

Spoiler:

Abyssal fuckin God
