Pokémon Universe > Development
Weekly development updates
Kamaran:
Private Pre-Beta 2.0 announced last tuesday.
We have invited active chat and forum members to join us at testing and so on.
You can find the list of who we have decided to bring along HERE.
Due to the same thread we have been experiencing lots of unneeded and unfinished posts from several players. Please, if you have a question, read the [FAQ] TAUT and then use search application.
We also kicked CounterBug off the team of his immatureness and rudeness on the forum.
Hiteryan was so kind to provide me with some music updates. But we felt that it needed a topic of its own. (link)
Finally we have been lurking around and have come up with some information: As many of you know, a generation 5 is on the way and the first pokemon from it should star at the latest movie. Word goes that it should be an electric type. (maybe even electric/ground). We, the PU-team, thinks that the japanese name of this new pokemon is: Mojanpo.
We'll be glad if anyone can confirm this.
And I almost forgot; Pokemon-universe now supports LINUX!
Mr_Dark:
First of all sorry for the late post. Atm. Kamaran is on vacation in Sweden so someone else has to make this post :D I'm not really good with long story's so I'll keep it short ;)
PokÉditor 3.0
Raiden spent the last weekend fixing our new map editor, it should be ready for public release within a month or so.
PU Client
Urmel made a start with the item UI and he fixed some weird bug which caused the client to crash on start-up.
PU Server
Mr_Dark (me) added more attacks to the battle code. I have checked around 50% of the attacks now.
Donations
Last month we've received a lot of donations from certain people and we would like to thank them again very much! We really appreciate it.
Again.. I'd want to say that it's not mandatory to donate, Pokemon Universe will be 100% free to play and we will NEVER ask you for money. If you like to support us and you're still wondering what we're doing with the donated money; we use it to pay the server hosting bills.
We've created a separated topic where we keep a list of people who ever donated.
Chat/IRC
There are more and more people joining our IRC channel, most of the time there's always someone to talk with (PU or non-PU team).
--- Quote from: Urmel on February 02, 2010, 06:38:57 PM ---It's too bad not many people join our chatbox. Almost all the PU Team members are in there most of the time. We talk about what we're currently doing/making, discuss things about the game etc. Now and then we even post screenshots that never make it to the site. I think the people in the chat are much more up-to-date regarding the development.
I think it's because most people see the chat as the place where you should only come when you want to chat. However, it's perfectly fine to just hang in there and lurk.
tl;dr:
1. download and install mIRC
2. type /server irc.rizon.net
3. type /join #pokemon-universe
4. ? ? ? ?
5. profit!

Kamaran:
I'm back! Missed me? :D
Let's start out with some official news;
First generation 5 pokemon revealed. Read the topic HERE.
And at Pokemon-Universe we're having quite some progress at the following areas:
* Moves and abilities
* Client and server-wise
* Maps with improved makeovers
* Generel User interface (e.g. bagpack)
However, regarding the mapping and with a pixelartist aspect attached, we are struggling to make the "encountergrass" work. It is a rather small issue, and I can not promise that this will work in the beta. (proper grass that is - you will be able to encounter)
Furthermore we have started a new game. It is called; "Guess the type". (link currently deleted)
Please note that the icons are not final.
Small addition; We've got 2000 members :D

And there was THIS <-- CLICK!
Kamaran:
We have two major subjects this week.
One being the Balancing project and the other the EV replacement system.
Balancing Project:
This is a project not by PU but by Gammal and Level5Pidgey.
It has nothing to do with PU, what so ever, at this stage.
However, since they talked highly of their course we gave them unlimited time to improve balance in pokemon battling. If, and only if, it turns out to work we will take a look at it and deside then.
As for now, it will stay "unbalanced".
EV replacement system:
We are currently talking a replacement system for the EV system, which in our eyes have been a boring, but important part of the latest games. We think that it can be replaced with a less boring system that is just as effective and we are thus currently discussing our options.
More on this later when a conclusion have been made.
In other news:
Phosphorous managed to get himself banned at our chat. Let us all give an applause.
And Mr_Dark has found the ultimate girlfriend but she lives in Texas (Dark Edit: Tymid <3)

Thank you for 1000 views ^^
In honor of Victory (who had the exact 1000 view.)

Oh and Bakagringo is in love with a very complicated gurl
AND you forgot that I worked on the Pokemon switch UI concept yesterday. (Baka) D:
BUT you didn't finish it damnit! (Urmel) :<
lol im just typing stuff (Hiteryan) :3
Kamaran:
The Balancing Project and the EV replacement system has been merged.
Thus the Balancing Project is also an official part of PU as of now.
Instead of the current EV system we thought of something similar and yet totally different.
As for Pokemons they will get a unique ability tree within their own evolution-lines. (one common during pre-beta and beta). This way Gammel and Level5Pidgey have the opportunity to revamp pokes as they feel like it and they will have more tools to balance them.
It will be point-wise "merged" with a stat-buffer.
I can, for a longer period of time, not work on PU due to college/uni and preps to the same. However I will stick around for the "just incase scenario" and for social reasons on the chat. I will also keep making the development updates since the other team members have other things to take care of. Now also including mapping, which I have heard that Urmel and Alais will do when they have time. (Alias has a lot)
