Just another idea You could have events something like animal crossing or you could have a mini game casino type thing or something similar.. Or something similar the safari zone mini game in pokemon
I love coming here and reading the comments. It's great to see fans answering the questions lol. Yeah, stuff like multiplayer will be looked at after release of Version 1.0 I'm planning a Minecraft development/release style. Version 1.0 will be like "getting the game into your hands and getting your feet wet". I'll be releasing free updates (just log into the app store and download the update when it's out) that will keep expanding the storyline, fixing bugs, and adding so much more content (I'll go into that in the update). Oh scottyd2k9 - you'll be able to walk around the school. You will not be able to go into other class rooms, but you can go into the Grand Hall on the first floor of the school, go up the stairs to the second floor and go into the Principal's Office. You'll see when you get the game ;-) There will be secrets about the school that you won't know about until updates too.... (makes sneaky face lol). Anyways.... Weekly Update Bit late this week, I was away for the weekend, so I never got a chance to post yesterday. It's june already? Damn There battle system still has stuff to be coded, ZENFORM stats have not been set in stone (including attacks). I still have a good bit to do. I think what I'll do is- in order to get it in your hands ASAP, I'll cut back on more of the story. Maybe even it out a bit and just include your first 2 days of Protector school. That way I can focus on the other areas mentioned earlier to make a June release. You all know the deal now anyways. I'll be updating it often with storyline, so cutting back on storyline for Version 1.0 is not a big deal. This week, Yoel (the overworld-outfit-hairstyle artist who also does tiles) wanted to remake some of the tiles on the maps. I said he could as I'd be interested in what he wanted to do. He wanted to make the tiles a bit more vibrant and maybe a bit more cute compared to what they were. He focused on ground tiles. Remaking the grass and "dirt path" tiles. He also remade the flowers which I talked about before. He did a great job. I posted this screenshot before and on the social sites, but here it is again. I'm really happy with the newer looks. I think it does a much better job of keeping the game cool and not too cute which could of been a pitfall. Aside from remaking the maps with the new tiles, I had to retake the images for the map backgrounds for the save/load game menu. That took some time to do. I then coded in more NPCs to the maps, adding more and more people based on context sensitive variables such as time and storyline "stage". Of course, I done more story based events which I won't be showing off or talking about for spoiler reasons lol. Next week, I think I'll focus on the stuff missing from battle, tightening up the ZENFORM stats and setting the final movesets in stone (don't forget, the same ZENFORM can have several movepools). I'm not sure what media I'll have next week, but I'll think of something ha. I'll also be getting a launch trailer made up once the battle stuff is ready. Keep an eye out for that. And finally, the new website will be launching very soon. I'm thinking I might hold off about a week or so before releasing Version 1.0 before the new site goes live, but I might just upload it earlier lol. That's it for this week!
You know what, I am sick of tired of you not getting your project done on time. Lmao, joking joking. Neo-dragon, just take your time on the game. Don't worry about the release, till you think and know the 15% or whatever the game will be done to release. I can wait till next month if you want. The longer you take, the more art work you gather, to make it even more perfect. So, just do what your doing and stay CALM!!!!
even if it takes forever to release as long as neo is enjoying what hes doing im cool with that, keep up the good work and God Bless Neo.
The more time you have the better the game will be, just take your time im pretty sure people can wait, it's the pokemon game to watch out for no other games will come close to this on IOS. I seriously dont mind waiting...
I'm actually all for him to release it sooner rather than later. That way he can get ideas from more people playing about how to improve, and it can be something we all experience together until it reaches perfection!!
Damn this looks pretty good actually. Also is there any news on Gamelofts Pokemon clone coming out for iOS? I know it's out on Nintendo's eShop but I haven't been paying much attention to iOS stuff (or games in general) recently because I've been so busy with other things.
this is like playing DS games on iOS nice really nice,how about zenonia gameplay & graphics then stick some cute pocket size monster in there then that's it pokemon look alike.that would be cool.sorry for my bad english.
This is looking very thought out and brimming with quality. Keep it up - hope to hear a release date soon
Wow, thanks for the kind comments since the last update. Very cool to read indeed! Don't worry, I'm taking your opinions very seriously. I like how you thought about what I said about a possible early release and I consider everything you guys (and gals if there is any) are saying. I'm here to please all of you first and foremost. So you all keep me posted! You let me know how you are feeling about this project, and I'll show you updates that address concerns and add more of what you like ;-) Any ways- - - - Here is this weeks update. First up, if you haven't seen it yet, the new site went live earlier today. Coded and designed by spaceemotion, this new site brings many pages instead of the single page of before. The homepage will be updated with a trailer soon, but for now, I have the alpha gameplay video on it. The content is still being made for it, but check it out. www.calisprojects.com/zenforms I've again been focusing on OverWorld stuff (Map stuff). I know I said I would focus on nailing down some of the battle stuff that is not coded this week, but I wanted to keep my focus on the gameplay on the OverWorld and make sure it's playable for Version 1.0. So of course - this means coding storyline which I'm not going to be really showing off lol. Hmmm. Actually..... (Goes takes screenshot lol). I like this part in the story. It's Keith explaining to the player that wild ZENFORMS attack because they are attracted to the ZENCrystal (used for capturing them) - which comes from Gaia Crystals- the crystals they are "born" from. Ordinary people don't get attacked. Only people carrying them. Since the player has the Newborn in a ZENCrystal at this point, that's why you'll get attacked if you walk on those shrubs. When I say I'm coding the Overworld to make sure sure it's playable, that includes making sure all the people are on the maps at the correct time, or maybe even blocking off areas if the player shouldn't be able to go there at a certain point in the story or whatever. I've actually enjoyed coding all this stuff. It's been pretty easy thanks to how I coded the engine. Very easy to call certain functions. I get a kick out of what this dude says. Kind of an in-joke with my friends, but still funny. Keep an eye out for him. I posted this on Facebook, but this screenshot was important to me.... And Hopefully to all of you. Although simple, it shows the care, and attention I'm putting into the game. This shows if you interact with the clocks in the game - it will tell you the in-game time and the in-game day. That's it for this week's update. Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you're feeling about the game so far! Love to hear feedback!
I can never wait for a new update im always lurking on these forums waiting for certain threads to get posted in, then each week i find new pictures an more info on the game. That's the part i wait for every time i come on these forums. The longer we wait the more i feel like more is being added to the game wich is a good thing. Just a question : is there going to be different weather patterns in the game similar to the ones in pokemon, example in pokemon ruby there was a sandstorm, (cant remember much about the pokemon games because last one i played was leaf green an fire red, when i was younger i bought every single pokemon game an have done since pokemon red, blue an yellow.) It would be good if there was different weather like rain or monsoon's lol, storms, sunny, foggy. It sets the mood like that TBH, sounds weird ino lol.. Cant wait to play this, been looking for a RPG similar to pokemon an this is as close as it gets. ololol
Okay? That's cool. Truthfully, I'd rather have a game that doesn't suck even if it's delayed for years. Maybe that's just me though?
Stockholm Syndrome right here. Everyone stand back. *Flashes light in eyes* Did you try to enjoy Duke Nukem: Forever? Did you come out believing you had enjoyed the game? What about Prey? Did you enjoy that game? How long had you waited for DN:F and Prey?
A few key words for you 'doesn't suck'. A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever. -Shigeru Miyamoto
Did the immediate satire, and reference to Stockholm Syndrome not immediately clue you in on the fact that I was joking?
Sorry I'm really tired and I didn't really think. That reply took me like ten minutes because I started to fall asleep a few times. Sorry. Well off to bed for real this time.
