Hey guys, it’s been a bit, but I’ve been working on a few pieces of additional content for Blinding White Plus that I think would be fun to show off!
**Brand new backported sprites:** With the release of Hzla’s tool for converting gifs to sprites through Pokeweb, I’ve backported about ten new lines with custom movesets, cries, and animated sprites! The ones you see in the video below are animated by members of the Smogon Sprite project and additional work by diegotoon20 on deviantart.
**Custom OST coming along:** I set out a journey for myself to create multiple new songs for this game that mesh well with Unova’s current soundtrack, and I’ve dipped my toes into making route variants that diversify the songs you’ll be hearing on the road! In particular, I currently have **two new songs for West and East Unova,** as the route of progression is being flipped a bit and it creates a more unique gameplay experience through each split.
**Roxie’s split is in testing!** If you want to try the game up to a level cap of 28 and the second gym leader, join the Discord for access to the testing patch. It comes with multiple new story battles and cutscenes that demonstrate my vision for the rest of this romhack!

This is what I have at the moment, but right now I’m working on releasing a cohesive demo with Burgh and Elesa split sometime before August if it’s possible. You can also play the OG Blinding White 2 if you’d like, both versions are available on the drive right now! Thanks for following my romhacking update, and I’ll see you soon with more content 👀

It’s been quite a while since I posted, but I’d like to announce a (somewhat) new project! Blinding White Plus is an enhancement hack of the Gen 5 games designed to modify the story and route of progression! This serves as a revamp of my previous hack, Blinding White 2, adding more meaningful challenge to the experience along with bonus content. The release structure of this game is split up into demos as of now because I want to place more polish into individual aspects of the game while still providing semi-frequent releases! Here’s some more information about it:
* Cheren’s split is currently complete as a look into this game’s vision! It has ~25 unique battles, some of which shift depending on your starter or difficulty!
* Meet new characters and explore new areas that are otherwise overlooked in the original games! The story has also been recoded and rewritten, so over the course of your journey you’ll get to explore the motivations behind your two rivals!
* Optional trades and minibosses before each gym allow you to take risks and get rewards! Comet Shards function as a powerful currency that gradually allows access to more valuable items.
* There are a variety of new Pokemon lines in the game, with 5 you can collect even in the demo! (Thanks to the work of Frost Falcon and the Moon Black 2 developers)
Some new track remixes are implemented in game, including remakes from Blinding White 2 that were slightly underbaked!
* Big things are planned for this revamp, with the next demo likely encompassing content until Elesa!

Additionally, I’m hosting a calcless nuzlocke challenge for this game for the start of summer soon! This is mostly just for fun, but I’ll probably put winners in the game as additional NPCs or battles just for the sake of it.

That’s all I have for now, I want to thank the romhacking community quickly for being so helpful in my journey of learning game balance and design! It’s been fun working on this hack for over a year, and I hope this revamp provides a more structured experience. Thanks for reading!
