WOW! This is just amazing, I can't believe I just found this today. Judging from the images, it looks like a lot more time and effort has gone into this than most other games. Just a few questions, though: Will there be IAP? I don't really mind if it's optional, but when I constantly get prompted to buy IAP, it gets annoying. Will all the zenforms be different like in Pokemon, even when they're the same species? For example, if you caught 5 zenforms exactly the same, what's the same of you getting 2 with matching stats? The PCCom sounds like an interesting idea, will you be able to download apps yourself? Or just for the storyline? Good luck on this! I really can't wait for the release, but I'm fine with waiting if it means a better and more polished game.
> I can't believe that is your user name! Your like Prince - the artist formally known as Prince. Just s symbol for your name lol. There is a great open questions thread on the Calis Projects forum. The first post here has LOTS of answers. http://www.calisprojects.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=60&pid=442#pid442 There will not be IAP in Version 1.0 of release. I'm not ruling it out in the future. But it's not something I'll be adding right away. Make sure to check out the graph in the first thread on how ZENFORMS evolve. It's not like pokemon in the sense they are all different creatures - all ZENFORMS evolve from 1 of 3 ZENFORMS called Newborns. There is also a video on my youtube channel explaining it: http://youtu.be/2r7SNP9eI6g The Pcom's apps are "updated" and download as you progress through the story yeah. The guy who "made" it and his company are a huge part of the game's storyline.
Pricing hasn't been set in stone yet, but it will be priced about $3 or so. I'll announce something soon. Small Update for you all I never just focus on one area of development of the game - hence the reason for no battle video yet lol. I've been going over areas of the game and making sure it's up to date - artistically - with the more recent art. As I'm getting closer to be ready to submit the game to Apple/release the game I want to make sure it all looks right and matches some of the new art recently added. One change I made is to the skin-tone of the darker shade. I've made it more vibrant. I wanted to add a character based on one of my favorite music artists and the skin tone for the dark shade was not right. In the game, there is 3 skintone color sets. Here is the first (the palest) skin-tone compared to the dark skin-tone. I want to do a PCom video guide soon. I've been going through the storyline variables, the quest variables and making sure they link up with the PCom (for the Journal app when viewing stats or quests). They have to display the correct information at any stage based on the player's side quests and storyline progress. I just have to be careful it displays the correct information. I should point out - that was taken from a test build. You don't get the PCom until after you go to school of course! I think I'll have a new video (The PCom guide) up by the end of the week!
Cheers guys! Ha Ghostz, my character in that screenshot was the Protector Student. That bald hitman looking dude is a random business man lol. I posted some new screenshots when I just answered some questions on the CP forum, so I'll repost them (with the questions) here ;-) How do ZENFORMS learn moves? To learn new moves, just touch on the ZENFORM in the ZENFORM menu and then on "View Attacks". Your ZENFORM will need to have a "FREE SLOT" - just touch that and a menu will pop up with the move pool. You spend Skill Points to learn attacks. Different attacks cost different costs. Can ZENFORMS have moves deleted? Touch on an attack to view the Attack Pop-Up. This will show the details of the attack. Just select "Forget Attack". A warning will pop up asking you to confirm- say Yes and attack will be deleted. If you forget an attack, you will have to pay Skill Points again to re-learn it. Can you name ZENFORMS? If so, Can you rename ZENFORMS? Yup, it's very like other monster games here. You can name the ZENFORM on capture. It's limited to 10 characters I believe (I'll have to double check). To rename a ZENFORM after you've caught it, you will have to bring it to an Admin Protector in the Caladan Protector School.
Congrats on the front page feature. Can't wait till they get an interview up from you guys. I wish you all the best for your upcoming release.
Please tell me you're making it GameCentre friendly for battling and trading and such and that there will be achievements
Quoting NeoDragon I honestly wouldn't mind as long as the content is worth it. I just want the game to be complete upon the release and perhaps the hypothetical IAP would be for post-game activities.
It won't be the complete game when it's released. It will be up dated in sections with new content and the next part of the story. And the game and each update will end in a cliffhanger unless it is stated to be the true ending of the game.
Oh wow, this looks pretty good. It looks incredibly polished (these sorts of games seem prone to ugly UI). I love the fact your character is customisable too. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this.
