Anyone else seen this? Link
It looks pretty freaking cool. I wish I had the patience to learn 3d modeling and programming... heh.

DruNk3n, the server is basically an extension to the game. You can use it to battle or trade. And you can use it to do the Multiplayer Islands' quests and stories.
You might even be able to use it to link up with a friend and carry them into the main stories' island and have them follow and help you through the main story line.

There aren't any servers right now. When the time comes, I will get a dedicated server and test it out, see if it's getting enough traffic to keep paying for it. If all turns out well, and if needed, I will get multiple servers.

That 3D modelling is pretty cool I think too. Definitely something you have to be really work with.

You know what kind of server you're looking for yet?

I wrote down a lot of ideas today so I'll evetually PM you about the majority of them Chrisp ^_^. But here are a couple in brief:

1) Auto-Battler? Do you think that would be a nice addition (maybe a quest reward feature?)

2) Instead of just the 8 gyms or however many you make, what about sub-gyms? Maybe a sub-league or an extra requirement?

3)A place where you can swap any lvl 100 Pokemon for a lvl 1 of the same one? (Good for people who want to train legendaries I guess ^_^).

4)MORE BOXES... seriously, Nintendo don't know how many boxes people really need -_-. Maybe starting off with X default boxes and you can make "user-defined" boxes that just add onto your save file? Would be sweet I think ^_^.

5)Online community on the server? One big map left for such a possibility of people meeting up and battling whenever and player run shops?

6)A building somewhere in the game for "exhibition" NPC vs. NPC matches that you can make bets on? I liked this idea ^_^.

7)Are you keeping Pokeblocks of Poffin in the game? Maybe an addition for later on?

8)Pokemail? Will it be in this and if so, is it a type your own message thing or limited to word selection like nintendo?

Anyway, ther's a few ideas from me that if ya want, there ya go ^_^. Also, is there anything I can do to help you out? Let me know if there is ^_^.

doixe · 05-12-2009, 09:54 AM

When you are online will you have to have a user name and a password to log on so you know if you had friends that you want to play with you can find each other. and my other question... can you use a mic for the psp to talk over the server kind of like socom? Wil the game sorrta look like this http://pppokemon.com/?? And you know the new feature used in platinum where the screen is slanted alittle and it kind of makes every thing look better i was wondering if you were going to do that

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 10:04 AM

I don't think it could because of the fact that there is no "line in" for the microphone to connect to a psp. I think this is more of a question of hardware capabilities, but have a look round the speculation and hardware sub-forums and you may find out if the psp's can actually do it.

I'm obviously excluded the PSP-3000 from this seeing as how that one does have a microphone ^_^.

doixe · 05-12-2009, 10:20 AM

there is a mic for psp it was made for socom to talk i have it and i can talk online on socom. search it in google

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 10:38 AM

Well, it might be a possibility in the futue but I don't really wanna talk for Chrisp and his homebrew :P.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 10:43 AM

lol yea i know what you mean there

@ doixe: would you not rather the game was released working and then after this feature was added in.

i know that i would much rather it added in after as that way he can concentrate on making the game work the way it should. if he has to many things going on at one time he could find more bugs in it and not know for sure what is causing them

keep up the good work chrisp

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 10:47 AM

Well said Ieuan ^_^, I have to agree with you there, if Chrisp is doing too much then the qulaity could slip, definitely a later feature if enough people want it is generally what devs do anyway ^_^. I think it's best to let him get the official V1 out of the way first ^_^.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 10:50 AM

yea exactly

like chrisp said himself about the server if enough people use it he will continue to pay for it, but if not then he wont. the feature where you can use your headset would be pretty pointless if the person you are talking to is nomore that 30 feet away from you!

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 11:00 AM

Yet again, good strong points that you bring up, also the new avatar is pretty awesome Ieuan ^_^. I think he should definitely run a funds raiser/donate if you can thing. Also, Ieuan, you got any ideas for the game?

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 11:18 AM

yea i do have ideas and i have done since like the first page but usually i just pm them lol.

yea i like the avatar aswell made it my self lol

also i think a fundraiser thing would be good,

also just had an idea just now actually i think ill share this one with ya considering you asked. i was thinking of a DLC idea but more with content such as more story and new pokemon from the newer games but not release it all at once. it would be better if there was a time scale in between the releases, like the maps and story comes at the same time but the next one will come a couple of months later if you know what i mean.

well there you are just an idea.

Sounds good, I was thinking the DLC would be a good way to have "noob-friendly" updates personally, hadn't actually thought of having extra story, only new offline in-game tourneys and leagues and trainer updates, but not story update, nice idea and I like it ^_^.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 11:29 AM

yea well his idea atm has loads of story built in to the game already. you get a different story depending on which island start on. you start on a random island. im really excited about this and i only found out bout this bit today you know...

anyway i would love to see the pokemon from the newer regions be availible after some time not straight away. definatly in the form of DLC!

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 11:48 AM

DLC would be the best bet for any addition to Pokemon for certain. And the story sounds like it's going to be amazing. Definitely got some ambition for his project I think ^_^. Keep it up Chrisp you're doing the homebrew community proud ^_^.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 11:58 AM

homebrew he is doing the psp proud.

the DLC would be a brillient feature for any homebrew game.
i remember getting a build of gpspkai that had an update feature seperate to the emulator.
i think it ran from where the online radio thing is.

thank chrisp

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 12:06 PM

Sounds pretty in-depth. But what we need is ot speak with a 3rd party commercial developer and find out how to put DLC scripts into the game. Or make a forum topic asking how :P. I'm sure somebody knows ^_^.

Oh yeah dood, are you in the UK or just up really late tonight? :P. Just a wonder lol.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 12:12 PM

yea im in the UK loll are you?

i dont think we need a commercial dev im sure we can find something lol

all it really need is to search for something online and then ask the user if it want to download the file. and if it was searching on a certain server/website then it would be be quicker for it to search right?

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 12:29 PM

Yh, I'm in the UK. East Yorkshire to be more specific ^_^.

Anyway... on-topic :P:

1) YOUR SIG IS BIGGER THAN MINE

2) Do you think the DLC web browser could do that. Maybe do what Yu-Gi GX does and have a seperate webpage to download updates from.

Also I propose that we have squall as a playable character design

. That would be awesome.

doixe · 05-12-2009, 12:29 PM

Does anyone remember missingno if you sall it,and tried to catch it, it will screw up your game it was like a glitch in the old pokemons like red, blue , yellow

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 12:34 PM

yep my sig is bigger to get peples attention lol

dunno i will try and find how the one in the gpspkai build i had works!

i second the squall character lol

**chrisp6825** · 05-12-2009, 12:35 PM

Download-able Content isn't hard at all to do, especially in PGE.
There are functions that allow connecting to a server and transferring data. So the game can just connect to a different port on the server and check for any updates, then list them in front of the user.

When people make maps, they will be able to connect through the game on PSP and upload it to the server for others to play on. Or find someone in-game and send it to them, for more private shares.

Thanks guys for all the ideas so far. I am getting a ton of idea from here, PMs, and emails. So it's a bit hard to read them all and give feedback on whether or not I will or can use them.

Ieuan is setting up a site for this project for me. It'd be great if you guys could post ideas and ect in a forum there or something? I don't know if he has a forum on there yet though.. If not, you can go here and post. Just as an attempt to keep everything organized. Threads for ideas, bugs, releases, progress.. all that stuff.

Yeah, missingno. or "missing number" was just a number/decimal glitch in the game which was activated by blah blah blah, (if ya really wanna know PM me). I remember getting missingno. on my brothers red cartridge... ahhhh good times ^_^. It was just a bad glitch -_-, a really bad glitch, the mew glitch was much better ^_^.

If you set up a forum elsewhere Chrisp I'll be there in a shot ^_^, posting ideas like a madman :P. I think it's a good idea for a bugs section, but don't list bugs that could give unfair advantages if seomone stayed on that version of the game... just say thanks to people for info and leave it at that, alongside a report bug button ^_^.

IU like the community share and private share idea too. Very nice. I hope progress is smooth ^_^.

Forgot to ask, do yuo have any plans for a public beta, or are you gonna wait till a V1 out of beta testing release?

**chrisp6825** · 05-12-2009, 12:43 PM

The bug section's purpose is so people can report bugs they find, then I can fix them. So I can keep the game fair and stable... and fun.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 12:47 PM

hey i havent put a forum on there just yet i can however setup one for the time being while i work on a proper one?

what you think of that?

doixe · 05-12-2009, 12:47 PM

-=Double Post Merge =-
i was wondering if someone could turn missingno into a real pokemon??

**chrisp6825** · 05-12-2009, 12:51 PM

I'd rather have people use the Google Groups one until a good one is set up one the site.
Can you put a forum up on freewebs?

Doixe : I don't think that would fit the game, since it's not even a real Pokemon. It was a glitch in the gameboy's memory.

**ieuan** · 05-12-2009, 12:54 PM

it would not be hosted on freewebs but i would link it from the site.

ok i will leave it untill i have proper one set up then.

thanks

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 01:04 PM

To be honest this seems like the most active part. But once you get the proper forum set up there will be more of an organized theme to it, and it will attract a lot more attention. Am I able to link to your site from within QJ when you have it setup? Also, are you going to be on the PSPupdates page at some point

?

doixe · 05-12-2009, 01:18 PM

i was wondering how are you going to get money for these servers if you deside to keep them and buy mutiple servers???

**Althor** · 05-12-2009, 01:22 PM

I'm assuming (AGAIN!!!!) that Chrisp will do it mainly through donations, seeing as how there is no other way he could get money from anyone as pay to play would be pretty bad -_-. So don't worry, it'll be probably be donations ^_^.
