Give way to 0.1.4.4.1!!
Hey there, how're you?
Welcome to a minor update, the "Failed Save Data" Update.
Well, first of all...
- Sleeping is now a thing.
- Eating is now a thing.
- Energy, Joy, Hygiene and Hunger cannot go below 0 and over 100.
- Speed mode has been added.
- Saving was supposed to be a thing but it isn't.
- Vibration is supposed to be a thing only for Google Chrome on Android. (Downloadable version)
- Burglars, eventually.
- Saving system, eventually.
- Kitchen UI, coming soon.
- Actual art assets for Speed Mode, Bed, Sleeping Bearfox, Adult Bearfox and UI buttons, coming soon.
- Having an own original bearfox, eventually.
Now, onto the...
= FAILED SAVE SYSTEM =
Okay, so, as everyone of you knows, when entering the game, all parameters (Joy, Hunger, Higiene, Time and Energy) get defaulted to 100 or 0, that's because there's not a way yet to save game data and have it persist. So... I began working.
A system that'd always save your game data in local storage and retrieve it every time you'd play even after closing the game. And I had made it. It was working.
Or at least... I thought it was.
Turns out it doesn't actually save perpetually, just as long as the tab is open, then it gets flushed back to 0.
I thought of so many ways to have it worked but still haven't figured out a way to do so. Every other way of saving is too complex for me as a non-programmer. Anyway, that's got me thinking...
Should I implement a system where you get a downloaded version of your save data, or... instead start working on a new version of the game that's actually an APK and has a much simpler way of saving data?
This could make way to the
= HAVING AN OWN ORIGINAL BEARFOX =
Which would get stored alongside your save data, having a different head, body type, personality and colors, name for the bearfox and name for the owner so, yeah, that.
What do ya think?
Oh yeah, something I forgot to talk about is the
= S P E E D MODE =
An issue I've found is, most players don't stick around for long as they're unable or too busy to stay in the game, so, to combat this, I've added a Speed Mode, which will make
- the clock go faster
- the bearfox growing every minute instead of every four
- tapping the egg will make it grow ever so slightly every time
- tapping the bearfox cub will NOT make it grow (don't poke him)
Only thing to turn it on is to click on the mouse in the bedroom, a spin-dashing sound will tell you it's on, a weird error sound will tell you it's off. Try it.
