Finishing Cursed Black

Posted by NeutralReiddHotel on Jan. 5, 2016, 2:28 p.m.

Hey 64D, so the one project I have limited myself to, Cursed Black, is now beginning development again! I'll be working on it on my free time for the next week or so, and therefore I'll be updating my twitter, finally. I'm trying to avoid all social media to avoid distractions, so I'll be posting at twitter.com/tohjofalls

in case you needed a reminder, this is what my game looks like so far:

There's already a few planned changes:

Catching Pokemon

Usable PC

Using the PokeMart

Changing Midi to MP3

Fixing the "NPC's walk-through walls" glitch

And can I get a few volunteer betatesters? I am running on Linux Mint, and even thought the game plays fine for the most part, the biggest issue is sound. Wav. files for some reason go full retard, but play fine in Windows.

I can test!

I never played a Pokemon game, so it should be interesting.

I'm still up for betatesting on both OSX and Windows. :)

zuurix! i'm glad you volunteered. iasper! i might need you to port this to OSX if you can, but if not then using wine under OSX should work a lot like Linux's wine so we'll see how that works.

I already have something i need you guys to test, since i have no access to windows…

Last time I tested this on windows, the framerate was fine. However, in Linux, there are some slowdowns when there's more than a few lines of code running, e.g. the Pokedex, Party Screen, etc.

Zuurix, Iasper, I need you guys to test the menu. There's bad framerates in certain parts under Linux that were fine in Windows. I fixed a couple but I'd like to see what you guys get. So go to the following options, and report back with average framerates. You don't need to do any math, just give me the number you see the most common. For example, here are mine:

Press start menu: 58-60

Pokedex: 20-22

Party: 22-24

Stats Screen: 46-48

Items: 58-60

"Red" (Trainer card): 24-26

Save: 60

Options: 60

Also, an average rating if your computer is good or not. Thanks guys! :)

I have a solid 60 fps everywhere. No dips whatsoever.

60 fps everything, like for Iasper.

But it drops for moment when loading saved game and moving between areas.

Also I got this crash when I defeated that guy, how was he named? Jt. Trainer? Anyway, here's the crash:

ERROR in

alright, thanks guys! good to know. zuurix, leveling up isn't done yet (that's what that error is for) but it's definitely on my to do list. i'll let you guys know when i need more testing, again, thanks a lot!
