Description

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: Hardlove Gold, a difficulty project for Pokémon HG. Built using the hg-engine, this game is heavily inspired by other popular challenges like Run&Bun and RadicalRed. This also features a custom AI that will keep you on your toes.

Although hg-engine is far from complete and much work needs to be done, it's more than capable of handling a great, fully-featured ROM hack.Plus we got some nice NDS graphics that bring a fresh look to the ever-same Gen 3.
