Unfortunately, it isn't easy to do progress stats because I don't *know* what is left. Just about everything I have done recently is fixing bugs. The game has been "done" for a while. Even the stuff in my last update - those are features I added in a while back. The difficulty in fixing these bugs is that most of them are battlescript related and some of those aren't even created by me, so they're harder to track down.
I've cleared 95% of the bugs I found in a few play throughs, so as far as I know, there aren't, but there still could be :D
??? Be more specific? I'm not saying there isn't anything, but I don't see it. If I had to guess, I'd say you're referring to the screenshot with the opponent having a Zoroark and an HP bar saying Toxicroak. But that screenshot was intentional - it was to imply that there used to be a "Toxicroak" before Illusion wore off. The name and gender updates after the Illusion message.
Oh, I plan to. I don't think it will be 100% perfect before release, but there are things that I don't think are acceptable in the existing battle engine, and releasing something if I know there are bugs would make me look pretty lazy. I've already said I jumped the gun on creating the thread, but meh.
I mean. Here's the deal. Finding bugs isn't a problem. This is how I do this: I have a relatively up to date version on my phone, and I just play through the game. Each time I play through it, I find more obscure bugs. But it isn't like I'm wasting any "hack progression" time by doing the testing myself, because I only do the "testing" when I'm not at my computer anyways, so I wouldn't be able to update the hack to begin with. The constraint is time at my computer, and I'm never spending that time looking for bugs. That's why releasing this to a bunch of people to test bugs wouldn't save any time. I suspect it would only cause people to be annoyed by a buggy hack.
Hmm. I didn't remove it, but I'm 90% sure it doesn't work with the current Mega code. Idk, I've never done multiplayer with a hack. Sorry :(
Thank you :)
Yep, they're already in!
I know that I won't catch everything - I expect there to still be bugs. But that doesn't mean that I won't first fix the things that I do catch. And yes the bugs will be found quicker, but finding bugs faster != fixing bugs at a faster rate. There is no moment during which I'm sitting at my computer and saying "let's find a bug to fix." The fact that I am literally always tweaking something (not finding something) while at my computer means that finding more bugs will not speed up a single thing. I won't be specific, but you can find numerous examples on this site of people succumbing to pressure and releasing buggy games just to "get it out."
Oh, you definitely don't need to worry about that. Hacks go unfinished because hackers do things like promise flashy features that they can't follow through on and get too lazy / don't have time / don't have the motivation to finish. But everything on my features list is already implemented and I've managed to beat the game multiple times, so what I have, though it has bugs, is playable. Even if I quit hacking today, I could take the five minutes to upload the imperfect patch.
I want to release it, too :)
They're already inserted?
Thank you sir! Though I'm not really annoyed by anyone in this thread, so no big deal.
