PRPR Progress Logs
25th June 2010
Fixed the music system by implementing a wholly new system. So far, this version is
much less buggy and provides a much higher level of useability and customizability
than the last one.
Modified all of the commands in options that involve a toggle to provide an
intermediary window – in other words you will now get asked whether you want it
to be on or off and notified of what its current state is.
Added the bottom floors of the radio tower, though they have no functionality yet.
Needed the music system for that, as well as a new job.
Fixed a ton of compatibility issues arising from combining my new music system with
my old map files. The two now work together as expected.
The following are some things I didn’t do on the above day, but have yet to be mentioned:
Added an eye icon and directional buttons to allow the player to look in whatever
direction he/she desires. It’s mostly an RP thing, but it’s quite necessary for
immersion.
Fixed a ton of tiny bugs all over the place, ranging from save file issues to graphical
issues and everything in between
Added the Pokémon Centre Carer job, allowing players to explore the back of the
Pokémon Centre as well as care for sick Pokémon
Added a music toggle to the title screen, so you can disable the music and not get
blasted by it when you log in
Next:
Fix the night/day bug with the edge of the radio tower
Re-add the cell phone shop
Begin work on the radio item and the radio DJ job
26th June 2010
Began extensive testing with the music, discovered many bugs. Fixed many bugs. The
music system is now in what I’d term “beta stage”, meaning it’s ready for users, if
not bug-free.
27th June 2010
Changed some of the emoticons so they look nicer
It’s the weekend, I’m having a break!
28th June 2010
Began work on the cell phone shop. It needs to be re-added for the update.
Added shopkeepers, and the ability to buy a cell phone. Next is the ability to
customize your phone to suit your needs.
Added some filter words and exceptions
Gathered additional music files for the game
30th June 2010
Modified all of the cell phone icon states in preparation for putting the phone
customization system back in
July 1st 2010
Finally finished the cell phone shop (customization). Took forever, but it’s very nice
now!
Also added some more antenna styles
Fixed some cell phone shop bugs
Next:
Fix night/day bugs?
Radio and DJ job?
July 2nd 2010
Need to design the radio DJ job and radio before I implement them. Thus, before that, I’m
going to add more tutorials so the tutorial system doesn’t get too far behind the game
development.
23rd August 2010
It’s been a while. I essentially had birthdays and then work in between these two dates, so
things weren’t settled enough to work on PRPR, but now they are getting that way a little,
so here’s an update.
Designed the basic ideas behind the radio system and the radio DJ jobs
Rewrote the screen text algorithm to operate more efficiently (it hogs a lot of
resources), so it can be used for the above systems
Coded the basic sections of radio stations and programs in
