Beta Testing Info

Expected Beta Date: Jan or Feb 2017

We plan on doing betas with a few levels and items to test, rotating them each build. What we would expect our beta testers to do is to answer a few questions about each build, and report any bugs they find. This will all be done through Google Docs, with there being a universal bug spreadsheet and each player copying the questionnaire and answering the questions in their own document. So if you're interested in being a beta tester, make sure you have a working Google account.

To reiterate the rewards you will get as a beta tester:

Reserve a specific username (we'll create it before release and send you the credentials so you can change your password)

Earn a unique player title that won't be available elsewhere

Earn some starting cash and items to help you in the final release

Earn some gold stars (a special currency used to unlock more game content like levels and items)

Some of the rewards might stack for those that test multiple builds, and we're planning an extra special reward for those who give good feedback on all of the builds.

If you're interested, feel free to reply or send me a message with your info

DWMY Update #4

Completed Stuff:

The Pokedex screen loads all basic info of the Pokemon, including an awesome curved scroll list! All of the level metadata for Kanto has been added to the game, complete with unlock conditions. I also started working on one of the secret features of the game. All I’ll say is that it unlocks after you play 100 levels!

New Item:

The item I’d like to reveal today is the Air Balloon!

The Air Balloon is a nifty item that make you float upwards for a few seconds! Useful for reaching secret areas without jumping or platforming. Be careful though, as Pokemon attacks will pop it.

Gripes:

The Pokemon sprites had to be removed. They were too small by default, so I attempted to size them up using the same method as the item sprites. They didn’t work for some reason, so I had to cut them for now. They’ll obviously be back since they’re kinda essential, but this whole ordeal is reminding me why I chose programming over art :P

Question:

If a game dev asks the community a question, and no one is there to answer it, does the design choice really matter?

DWMY Update #3

Completed Stuff:

All of the previous menus (Title, Options, Credits, Tutorial) now all use mouse controls! In addition, I also formatted all of the Gen 1 Pokemon sprites into sprite sheets ( I had animated gifs from BW2), and added all of the metadata for those Pokemon! It’s not quite enough to implement combat yet (still need Pokemon stats and movesets), but it is enough to implement the Pokedex screen :) Oh, and we’ve decided on how to represent evolution behind the scenes, so that’s no longer a worry.

New Item:

The item I’d like to reveal today is the Cleanse Tag!

The Cleanse Tag is a bit more important in Pokemon Roll than in the standard Pokemon games. “Cursed” is a nasty status effect that some Pokemon can inflict on you that lowers your capture rate! This is one of the status effects that doesn’t clear up on its own, so stock up on Cleanse Tags so you can fix the problem right away!

Gripes:

Converting those gifs to sprite sheets took a LONG time, and honestly, a lot of the animations weren’t quite what I expected. Some Pokemon that fly, swim, or hop will be easy to animate, but a lot of the other ground Pokemon don’t have much to work with frame-wise. So, Pokemon animations are on the backburner. Our builds will start with static, non-animated Pokemon sprites, and we’ll animate them one at a time as we go.

Question:

Do you think Pokemon Roll should stick strictly to official items, or should it have some unique items of its own?

[pokemonroll-game]

Here’s a screen of the loadout menu, where you can change what items to take with you into a level!

[pokemonroll-game]

Here’s the shop screen! I’m not going to make a gif since I don’t want you guys seeing all of the end-game content :P

DWMY Update #2

Hello! It’s about time for another progress update!

Completed Stuff:

After some recent discussion the dev team decided to change the menus to use mouse controls instead of the keyboard, and it’s panning out really well! The shop and inventory screens are now fully functional! Expect some screenshots or gifs of them soon.

Next on the list is updating the previous menus to use mouse controls.

New Item:

The item I’d like to reveal today is the Float Stone!

The Float Stone is an item that temporarily boosts your jump height. While we haven’t gotten around to designing levels yet, I’m looking forward to putting some areas that can only be reached using the float stone, or at least some shortcuts to reach the stronger Pokes faster!

Gripes:

We still haven’t quite hammered out Pokemon evolution, but we’ve had a few solid ideas about it (one of which shows some good promise). Development is going rather smoothly since we transitioned to mouse controls for the menus, so I guess my only gripe now is how few people know about the game! I’d love to get some interest in it so we can be excited for a demo release :)

Question:

What is your favorite platforming game? Does it have any unique features that you liked?
