New update for you.
This update includes an artical on the feature (taken from my Calis Projects website) and a guide on how to use it.
Oh and 2 bonus screenshots :P
The new PokeMart feature.
Shopping.
Here is an extract taken from the Calis Projects website My-Lifeonline.com:
"In Pokemon Protectors, upon entering a Mart, you will be able to go up and take items from shelves and add them to your cart.
Your cart can only hold 5 of each item at one time EG. 5 Potions and/or 5 Pokeballs and so on.
You can go and pay for your items which will empty your cart and add the items you bought to your bag for use.
Since Pokemon Protectors allows you to chose your own destiny, an intresting thing to point out
is the fact that if you wish to be evil, you CAN steal from the store! You will not always get away with it though.
There are police and security in the Marts to stop people who wish to do that. But it is possible to get away with it.
If you are alligned with any 3 of the evil Teams or Organisations within the game (Rocket, Magma, Aqua), a grunt from your team
may help you get away safely!
Remember, stealing effects your moral rating. So if you want to be good, you might want to pay for your stuff.
Another really cool features inside the Mart is that the NPCs(Non-Playable Characters) have their own A.I.
Instead of just standing around in the mart, they will shop too. People will even come in and out of the Mart to
do a bit of shopping! Also, some Team Grunts may even steal from the store!"
So let's go have a small walkthrough style guide for this:
*Images included*
As it says, upon entering a Mart, a HUD (Heads Up Display) will appear on sreen.
It will showcase your "Shopping Cart" and how much money you have.
Now unlike the official games, were you can go up to the counter and buy your items, you have to "shop" for them by getting them off the shelves.
As you can see, there is the HUD and the player looking at the shelf. It has a potion.
The player is presented with the option to add the item to the cart.
Another thing touched in the artical from the website is NPCs have their own behavior. Here in this second screenshot we can see that a NPC has entered the shop and began to go ahead his own business.
As you can also see, the player has several items in his cart.
Again, players have to find the items on the shelves. This may seem confusing, but I have intended it not to be too confusing.
Here, by simply pressing enter facing the shelf, you can see another item.
In this case, a Pokeball is here.
Again, touching on the NPC behavior, here in this screenshot, the NPC has moved up to pay for his items. This helps add the feeling that the world is lived in.
When you are done, and have decided that you will pay for the items and not steal them (good thing too since a poilceman is standing at the dorr), go up to the main who works in the mart.
You will be given a choice to pay for your items, or the mart worker will empty your Cart for you.
For the propose of taking screenshots, I chose the "Nothing" option so I could take more.
Like every interface- you can set the background of the HUD transparent via the Options screen:
And just for fun, here are 2 bonus screenshots not on the website:
A que is forming.
"Employee of the Month" :P
Lol, hope you enjoyed that update.
