It has been little over a week since I started this blog so I thought that it might be a good idea to post another blog post ( and add a few more pet images to the Pets page ). Since I also have a twitter account, I figure that it might be best to use the blog only for larger updates, but alas, I digress.
One of the things a lot of testers asked for was a manual to go with the application and I am pleased to say that at the moment the manual is my top priority. My original reason for not adding a manual was that because when I was a kid, my tamagotchis either didn't come with a manual or came with a manual in a language I couldn't read, so part of the tamagotchi experience for me was having to find everything out myself. But, as I found out, this wasn't really the case for a lot of people who played with tamagotchis. Although I still think that exploring a game / application is half the fun of it all, there will be a manual to go with the application soon!
Aside from adding a manual I have also been looking into adding real-time notifications to the application. At the moment, even though you aren't using the application, your pet will become hungry without notifying you about it, which can be quite a pain in the ass as a lot of people probably don't have the time to check up on their pet every so often or they will simply forget .
Furthermore, because the application is called 'myClassicPet' I thought that it would be neat for people to be able to tweak the layout of the application to their own liking, and thus at the moment I am looking into changing the background color of the application or even adding a background image to the application to make the application and the pet feel more like your own.
On a special note, the user Nexer even created a fan-facebook page which can be found here.
On a final note;
The beta is still open, so people can still apply by sending me an email. I am still trying to find out how the application scales down on smaller devices and how it scales up on larger devices. ( However, this doesn't mean that people with mdpi devices aren't welcome to apply ).

nah man, green doesnt fit :P are ya able to make WiFi battle system ? :)
ReplyDeleteThere are people who like the green color for the application so, I'll be sticking it in there as an optional color.
ReplyDeleteAs for Wifi, what exactly do you mean? Connect to people over the internet, or connect to a nearby phone through the phone's wifi?
Connect to the world , through internet , instead of bluetooth since its few people in one and the same city who got the application. have you seen the things i send ya ?

ReplyDeleteI would love to create a Wifi, however, at the moment I will stick with Bluetooth and Bluetooth only. At the moment there are other things higher on my Todo list I'm afraid.
