For those of you that didn't figure it out, yes, yesterday's post was an April Fool's gag. Gotcha! There are a few things worth keeping in mind, though, of course, and that's why I'm here tonight. I didn't want to flood the post yesterday with all of this and wind up ruining the illusion.
- The real title screen is in fact under development. It just isn't high on our priority list at the moment. I'm still looking forward to sharing it when the time comes, and I assure you it's something completely unique, and not parodying any video games from the '90s.
- The complete flood of "first" posts yesterday was the result of me writing the post just before I had gone to sleep, and therefore couldn't approve any comments until I woke up. I always publish them all so that you can have an idea on how close to first you actually were, and so that it doesn't look like I'm playing favorites. Any comments throwing around obscenities in regards to people "lying" about being first (or in regards to anything, really) are unacceptable and won't be approved (unless I'm not paying attention). As before, since this is an unscheduled post, the First! Comment Scoreboard will not be in effect today.
- Now for the bad news (this part is not an April Fool's gag - again, this is why I didn't talk about it yesterday). As of Friday my tablet pen suffered a most overdue death, and as my luck usually likes to domino, the back-up I had stored for just such a day isn't working either. Luckily, I did determine that it's just the pen and not the entire tablet, so it's a cost that doesn't hurt as much as it could have. Still, I've been forced to take an inconveniently timed vacation, putting me a bit further behind how behind I already was. Obviously, this means light spells won't be making it in this week. In the end, I want to take a little time to play catch-up, and will be postponing further blog posts until I reach that level of comfort once more. If the hiatus winds up lasting long enough, I'll be sure to have Dan say something on the main blog once I'm getting started again, for those that don't follow here as regularly.
Until then!
First Again?

I'm first and wow good joke but sam beat you
ReplyDeleteRamoman
Haha totally fine. Sam and Dan need to get things rolling with the story before you need to worry about getting all the aspects in. Once we get a game started then a schedule should be kept more, but until then, relax. At least you've fixed the cursor so nothing else major. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, but how about you make a challenge level with POKEMON!!!! So I was thinking you make a level PTD style, where the pokemon are tranported here by a hypnotized Mew and are trying to steal..... armour! Once the minions are beaten a normal Mew comes out for you to fight. Once beaten it's mind control is broken and it joins your team. It could learn Light or Shadow attacks.

Probably not, that would quickly render the game ineligible for sale. :P
DeleteWait so you're planning to bring this into the real gaming world? With what console? Probably not Xbox or PSP2..... Maybe 3DS? I'd be so exited if it came to 3DS.
DeleteIt's less planning and more planning ahead (if that makes sense). There are no plans other than the phone market as of now, but we don't want to have to go in and cut out trademarked content if it comes to that, so it's better to just not add it at all.
DeleteWait, So you don't want to have a PTD crossover now but you're OK with having copyrighted material later? I'm not trying to make you angry and I'm not trying to fight for the other guy's idea either, but I'm just curious. By the way, what do you mean "if it comes to that". When somebody says that, It usually means that that's their only option. I'm pretty sure you don't mean my definition of it, so what do you mean? Man, I'm curious.
DeleteLike how PTD is not allowed in any of the phone markets because it has trademarked content. We don't want Sam, Dan, Kevin, Bill, whoever else they bring on board to go through all of this work just to see that it violates some... violation. I can't wait for the market to have something with high replay value. I go through games on my iTouch like tissue paper. Use and throw away. Maybe once HTD hits the market I will get to keep a game for longer than half a day. :)
Delete@ Pokamanz - I think you're reading too far into it.
DeleteThough it won't be this week, I do look forward to the light skills...and I also look forward to the nature skills, when they come.
ReplyDeleteJust came here to drop a hug and tell the "sonic" animation was cool =P
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter for those that celebrate ;)
Cheers
mew crossover lvl.! even if just for online mode
ReplyDeleteI await your return. I check the blog everyday hoping that you will randomly reappear.
ReplyDeleteBtw not in my profile cuz it wouldn't let me log in but it's still me.
this isn't related to the post, but i noticed that 2 tacks hold the entire progress list together, while one tack doesn't tack anything.
ReplyDeletei personally think that's hilarious :)
Still alive I hope? :P
ReplyDeleteAlive and kickin'! Hoping to make some posts again here in another week or two, just making sure to be organized about it before I do.
DeletePlot twists might be a delay.
