DEVBLOG #12: GENDER REVEAL!?!?!? (+ Space Handling + Post-Shipping + Thanks)

Heeeey! Long time since last one (yikes!) Fortunately I’ve a LOT to share!

WE FINALLY SHIPPED DESKTOP POKEDEX! IT’S ON ITCH.IO, SO GO CHECK IT OUT TO TRY IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!!!

I created an entire itch.io page for it… ahhh, finally, I get to make an itch.io page for something after a LOOONG time! It looks pretty comfy!

It’s been one hell of a journey just to ship a small godot project on floaty pokedex on your desktop…infact, isn’t it bit too much of an effort for a small project like this…?

But whatever, IT’S (almost barely) DONE!!! I’m still planning to bring new updates and patches whenever I get time, and also there’s still a LOT of stuff I can implement to make this even DOPER than an IRL pokedexes. (see my first ever devblog to see what I mean, I dropped my big plans in there)

SEARCH POKEMON OF DIFFERENT GENDER ENTITIES (Like Nidoran)

In the pokedex, earlier you couldn’t search nidoran or any pokemon with seperate male-female entries because they were under a special naming convention inside PokeAPI; I FIXED IT! Now my pokedex shows a cool looking “Choose Gender” Panel on top of the Search Bar and now you get to choose red pill or blue pill (or should I say, blue pill or pink pill? TADUMTISHHH )

SETTINGS GOT VOLUME CONTROLS LESGOOO

Thx to my friend, who wants to say that;
without it, my soul punched outta my body like how doctor strange punched spidey's when I heard pikachu's cry

You can hit up settings from the Side Panel popup > Pokeball Icon > Right-Click > Settings > Cry SFX Volume

ADDED A SNEAKY EXTRA SPACE WHILE TYPING? IDIOT! (but we fixed it)

Yes, the title says it all. Idiot

THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE, THAT’S KINDA A WRAP

When I shipped the project, I was in bit of a hurry due to IRL stuff, so here’s the list of gratitude that I forgot to drop in

Godot Engine : This is the game engine that helped me shape my ideas throughout my game-dev journey; it took me nearly 5 years to realize that THIS is my perfect tool to make games (and more), and I was almost too late, but all the time I spent here is sooo EPIC! I virtually (and actually rn) bow before the community that shaped the engine what it is now
Hammy : The person who told me a program called something like “Stardance Challenge” exists, and her friend is in it, so maybe I could try it too. And I was just starting to talk to her back then, but working on this project and helping me test it really helped me build a strong bond between us, so I owe this project that :) (She’s also the one who helped me work on the volume slider btw)
Stardance and Hack Club: For organizing such a program like this; let’s be honest, as much as a pokedex floating around our desktop for no reason sounds a li’l bit stupid, it’s something that I ALWAYS want to build. And without y’all, I wouldn’t have tried to make it. So thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCHHH for building up this opportunity (yes, y’all get the most gratitude of all, you’re welcome )

If I’m ever working on this project again after this, I’ll try to create a whole new blog page somewhere else, HECK, I’LL MAKE AN ENTIRE VIDEO ABOUT THIS ON YOUTUBE, but until then, this is prolly the end (aside from fixing bugs and stuff)

Sooo, yeah… that’s it!
