Pokémon Storage System v0.5 — DEMO
Hello!
The demo for Logie's Pokemon Storage System is out! This is an actual companion app for the official Gen 1 Recomp app. It's easy to set up and transfer, but I'm looking for feedback.
First, got to the Gen 1 Recomp app and click the Save Sync button then choose Create Sync Account. Go to the PSS app and go to Options → Saves then enter the codes from the Gen 1 Recomp app into the appropriate boxes and hit Sync. It's as easy as that! The app will sync with the recomp every few seconds and the recomp picks up the saves every while as well. For immediate transfers you can go in and manually sync.
From here you have customization options. You can go to Options → Downloads to download sprites for your Pokemon. You can set your color palette from the original games with a few of my extra favorites thrown in. You can set sound settings as well as layout settings.
Note that this is a DEMO do we are not at 1.0 release. I wouldn't transfer your entire save system in just yet. Just play around with it, give feedback, see the bugs or what you feel needs to improve function wise or looks.
I had to make a lot of compoemises due to this being an unofficial modern companion app of an old game, but I really wanted this to FEEL like you are logging into Bill's PC in-universe from your phone. I never liked the layout of the Home app as it felt like a game transfer. I still have a lot of work to do in making this feel less like a save game holder than a real in-universe app, but I'm open to suggestions.
Pipeline
Get feedback and bug tests. the biggest thing I want to avoid is someone's saves getting wiped because I misunderstood how the save sync works.
Obviously we all want to see Gen 2 implementation, this is coming but I want to be sure gen 1 works first before I add another generation on top of it.
Compatability with LUA mods. I had this idea today and I'd love to have this app be able to have people mod it like they've been doing with the game carts. Don't like the layout? Mod it. Don't like the colors or them? Mod it. Again, this is coming but I'm more concerned with functionality first.
Enjoy and please be kind in the comments!
