Here we are, there is a new nightly release with :

Music while in game, go to setting to activate them (3 differents, depending on which screen you are), thanks to BuyBeatZonline

Premium item (4 news items, available for one month each)*

New "revive" item, mandatory to revive a phonster fainted, or you have to connect (via wifi) to an Hospital (internet button, below the shop)

Lottery : bug correction (sometime in the past you may earn "0" item) and now on day 5 you may earn Pepite ! :)

Safari : now there are wild phonsters ! :) which can attack you randomly (depending on how many (kilo)meters you made )

And to celebrate the 1000 users, here is a code (to put on the website http://www.myphonster.com) to gain 2 pepites : OVER1000

(and another one , surprise i will not tell you, I let you search, linked to this one, which will give you 3 more, and let you try the new items ! :) )

Both only available until the end of September !

(and you can search on internet... there are actually 5 codes available (+1 hidden), which will give you 11 pepites )

* concerning the "month" i give you, for free, the remaining of the current month + the number of month you buy with the pepite

(ex, today we are the 3rd Sep. , if you buy one month of PKE today, it will be available until 1st Nov. , if you buy 2 month, available until 1st Dec., etc... so it may be a good idea to buy premium item at the beginning of the month but Shhhhh... ;) )

Congrats on a 1000 users! Godspeed for your journey ahead
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
THx :)

I just saw a little bug in the "belt" when you want to "store" a phonster, it always tell you "internet access mandatory"

i just correct this bug in the lat release (always nightly, v92)

just go in "setting" and click on "check update" if you already are in nightly (or you just download the last release before yesterday)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
A little update for the nightly again... I create a new button to allow everyone to put code... This one look like a codex and you can put a code in that page (it doesn't care about minuscule nor majuscule)

I would like to thanks here every users who sent me translation and let them know that I will grant them with extra pepite for this great work

By the way if anyone wants to send me translation or any bug he found, he can mail me at Phonster dot Android at Gmail com... Available on hangout too or via Twitter [MENTION=4310100]phons[/MENTION]ter or via this forum or MP
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Some bug correction tonight :

Revive didn't work while in fight ...

When you set a phonster free or transfert phonster from your local storage to internet, there was no refresh

As a user ask me, are they file to translate, i just upload them right now : http://www.myphonster.com/lesxml.php

i have added 1 new column as there are new files (for the inventory for example) in the evening and put the last nightly i made

as nightly93 seems to not crash, i decide to put it in alpha (so in "stable/normal" version), actual nightly is V94 so, with the "revive,transfert,release" bug corrected (but not yet fully tested)

Next step (10 versions that i said that :p ) the arena !

Actually it works, but only for the first phonster...after, you have a "null pointer" error catched, and no way to win :p

hoping to solve it for the weekend
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Is there something wrong with this update ? does somethnig disturb you all ? it seems that nobody doesn't play anymore... at least, nobody even play the lottery ....

please, give me feedback , why does everybody stop playing ?

[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Invalid IMEI is because you have not create an account

(i have to correct it in the next version)

It request your precise location because the game is purposed to geolocalise you "exactly" so you can reach the phonster (or not, depending on the distance between you and the monster)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Hello everyone, just some few words to let you know that dev is resumed :)

I have corrected the "welcome message" telling you that there is a problem with IMEI...now message are more explicit :)

I'm trying to correct the arena right now

and already create a bit of code for the "resistance table" (fire is weak against water, etc) actually based on 18 types (even if right now phonsters have only 4 types ... water, air, fire and earth...in the future they will evolve with more type and maybe 2 types for somes...so 2 weakness, but also 2 more attacks types :) )

I will post this new version once arena is working well and once the 4 types will be "assigned" to their own weakness.

So, hoping before the end of november.

I have some question for the future.

Do you want "seasonal" phonster ?

Like an halloween one, only available on every october month, a xmas one, on december, etc... ? (every year ! ... i don't want to be exclusive for only some hunter each year and i want that every one to be able to complete his dex)

if yes, it can be fun to trade and it will be easy to implement and maybe we can have one for chistmas ...that would be my gift to everyone :)
[Android Apps and Games] dole_95:
I'm glad to hear that you will continue with this :) Yes, season-phonsters sounds like a good idea :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Great news !

Arena is now working without "null pointer error"

However, that doesn't means that everything is fine, but at least, you can earn your badge :D (which will be necessary to control experienced phonster in the future)

So happy that i will maybe post an update tonight :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Update is done.

Some little news about the game :

As i can see, only few person uses the code for the pepite. Did you know that "pepite" (gold nugget if you prefers) can grant you cool stuff ? and i frequently give away code to obtain more pepites... don't be afraid to google for them... i'm sure you will be able to find some available ;) ...

And there is no need to keep them, use them, you can won 1 to 3 pepites every 5 days in the lottery !

And to celebrate the "non buggy" arena, the code "ARENA" (available until end of november) will give you 3 free pepites.

However, I love how this game become worldwide... in previous versions, i had added a checkbox (in parameters) to allow me to "collect" your GPS data (don't be afraid, i will not track you :D) to allow a future feature* and actually i can see that users play the game from Poland to Oklahoma ... please, check this little box to make the game funnier ;)

I have not received any feedback concerning the music or problem in the gameplay... are everyone happy with this ? no problem ? no wishes that i can try to accomplish ?

[MENTION=302427]dole_95[/MENTION] : i will try to put the "Phonta claus" in the next update... :)

[MENTION=5565093]naylampsoft[/MENTION] : you're welcome

* That future feature will help users to find other player to fight with...and to revives their fainted phonster...a little bit like you have hospital everywhere in the country.
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Hi all,

I will have to be direct, soon (at the end of the month) the domain name will expire, so we may expect some troubles at the end of the month, and i rather prefer to advertise you for not sending phonsters online after christmas... not sure that i will be able to retrieve them.

Due to this, i will put a dropdown menu in "parameters" to allow every users to switch from "myphonster" domain, to a "generic/free" one.... at least, until i have money to rebuy the domain name and the webhosting (or if some people wants to help....yes, this is a little request of donation...of course, this donation gonna give you pepite :) and you gonna take part in the credits of the game...hum...i know this is few retribution, but it the best i can do)

Actually, a good samaritan (thanks Marcio), had paid it, so i even don't know how much does it cost to webhost it (i had a little look on it and it's really too much for me now ...)

However, i found a problem in the wild phonster....once it appears, it keeps attacking you, ever and ever... I tried something "easy to code", maybe it will work ...if not, i will have to desactivate the wild phonster... don't expect a quick ending time

Some friends told me they had problem at the first installation (no phonster in the belt), they had to uninstall and reinstall the game ... does anybody else had the same problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
it seems that with the actual nightly version there is no more "wild phonster loop" :)

however, i have found something strange with the arena :

i had to fight 8 phonsters in a row (while normally i should only have 6 max...)

arena is coming back again and again on the map (on different place)

concerning the weakness fighting system (water > fire > earth, etc...) it's in a good way

in the next version, you will be able to have more details on an attack while, in the belt, click on the attack button under your phonster (this is working well actually...i had to code this to have a quick look on the weakness fight ;D )
[Android Apps and Games] dodgebizkit:
I'll try this again soon and report here

---------------------------------

Sent from my obsolete Teletubby. I want a new model with no external antenna and a touch screen in 16:9.
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
I think i will post a new version soon ...

not with the "weakness system" yet, but with the seasonal phonster for christmas period

(and some change like "arena presence testing", better system for the "database filling", etc...)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
whaou.... i had a look at the first "activity" i made : account creation, database filling, etc....Wahou....wahou...wahou.... that's the word...

and now i can tell me : "you made a long road since your first line of code in java" .... what a mess !!!

logic is there...but if you can read the line, you will understand how beginner i was ...

due to this, i re-encode a lot of things and now all the data are in local, with "raw file".... so not only "text" can be translated, but now even phonster, with their details, etc, can be translated in one file... better than in 3 differents files and after update on the internet to be downloaded on the first load !...

and now, dex has a version... this way, i would be able to add more phonster more quickly...like the one for the christmas event

i made some change in the login process, as there was a problem sometime, users have no phonsters created, they had to uninstall,reinstall the game...now it should works everytime

I have improve the "wild phonster" system too, now you will have a popup when you will be attacked, i made the way to 2 news premium item : sweet scent and repellent (let me know if the word are not the good one ;))

first one allow you to be attacked by more wild phonster, while the second do the opposite

(both are not yet created, but the idea and "first step coding" are there)

and i had an idea...

would you like an option in the menu while you are in "safari mode" to keep the screen active ? (disallow the phone to go in stand by mode)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
and....TADAM !!!

a new phonster has arrived for christmas ! :)

Let me introduce you "RUDOLPHE" ! santa's red nose's reindeer has made his way to our phonsters' land and you can catch him with the nightly version (which one is pretty stable for now)

Just some few words about the webhosting, it seems that it will expire on december the 20th ... so we may have some trouble on next sunday... hoping that i succeeded in contacting the domain owner so he can help me to renew the domain... it will be my christmas gift this year :)

Edit : Oups... there seems to be an error (with rudolphe) when you UPGRADE (not at first install), so don't upgrade now please... i will let you know when it will be good :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
It took me some time to debug and found why, but it seems to be good

Rudolphe is there, no more pb with the attack (this is what made the bug :p )

in fact i made some change in the last version and they are now "hard coded" in the game...with a version... so now, if i need to change an attaque's effect (dmg, etc), the lvl on which the phonster will receive it, or the phonster themselves, i can do this pretty simply ... and that's a good point

I have added some "popup" message during loading this kind of data (this way the game is not freezed, text is in french actually)

in the Dex, click on a phonster and you will see the attacks it can learn (... only the attack number id, but the idea is there)

in the belt, you can click on the attack and have more details on it (the Effect line, the last one is in french, it's for debug, in the future it will disapear)

at the bottom you can now see a code like this :0.9 R97 B43 P6 K1 D3, this is the versioning

beta 0.9 release 97 Database 43 Learning 6 Attack 1 Dex 3

(this way, if you have a problem, i can identify where it could be :) )

As i told you some days ago, i still seek to raised funds for next year ...(42€ is not only a dime :( ) and i will buy the "webspace" tomorrow (i guess) ... and as the actual hosting expire the 20th, we ought not encountered problems.... i hope

in any case, i will do a complete backup of the database tomorrow, and copy it to the new server as soon as possible (as soon as bought should i say)

so every datas should be saved ... if not, i would like to apologize right now for any missing

Nightly available <= Don't forget to take this one if you want rudolphe !!!
[Android Apps and Games] Hukanawa:
Great idea. Willing to help

Sounds like a cool idea, me being a fellow pokemon fan, would love to see this game, so please! Keep us updated, looking forward to your app!
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
just have a look there : www.myphonster.com , the link to the game is at the middle/bottom of the page (depending on the version you would like.... nearly safe, or risky business* ... ;) )

Just download it, follow the step to activate "unknown source", install it, create an account and you're in :)

nearly safe : you should not have loss of data when you upgrade from this one to another stable....

risky business (nightly) may involve a complete loss of data between 2 versions, because this is my "debugging" version ...

(i have a debuging version on one phone, constantly uninstalled/reinstalled ... so data loss every time ...but you don't see this one ...

and another debuging version : "nightly", that i test on another phone, where i have my own phonster saved there ... in case of "biiiiiig" problem in the update process, i may have to drop all the database... (even if i would like to avoid this... i have a lot of phonster :) ) it may append
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
I'm really sorry for those of you who create an account,transfert phonsters, etc... after 2013/12/14 ... but all those datas are lost :(

i would like to make the backup tonight...but it seems that where the database is stored, it's already 2013-12-20 ... so account is closed :(

In the other hand, it doesn't mean you can't create an account, select another phonster, redeem all the code previously used, etc... it just mean that you need to uninstall the app and reinstall it

(once the DNS will be up of course)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
website is up again

sorry for the convenience

with this problem, i was able to find some bug ... cool :D (yes.... i'm happy when i found bug.... strange guy isn't it :D )
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
For information, next update (with weakness) may take time, because, as i have to recreate the database for the weakness and also the json, i will integrate "a lot of" new data in them

As i try to approach pokemon as much as possible, i will put more informations in it as Evolution Type, catch rate, Type1 AND type2 (now we only have one type :earth,water,fire,wind...in the next update we will have 19*2...as in pokemon gen3 ex : water/fighting), an egg type, a number of meters to egg hatching, male/female ratio and more

as i found a bug in the "xperiencing" i will put a quick patch in the evening

In the tonight patch :

Don't be afraid with the "new" XP in the belt...calcul method has been updated :) (for more details go there : http://www.pokepedia.fr/index.php/Courbe_d'expérience)

Actually, every opponent phonster give 60 "XP ratio" and each of your phonster have an average evolution step (so you need Lvl^3 to evolve)

I made a change in the fighting windows/activity, now when you kill your opponent, the activity will not finish by itself, a button appears and you will have to click on it

(i had to put this into place to avoid a bug on some phonster when they evolve and learn a new technic)

PS : actual version (nightly) is 99 ... so next version will be 100 !! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
i'm seeking someone good in math, especially in graph...

i would like to allow the users to reach a certain amount of phonsters in the dex, depending on their level

ex :

at level 1, user may found phonsters from 1 to 6

at level 2, user may found phonsters from 1 to 11

at 3, 1 to 15

at 4, 1 to 18

...

at lvl X, 66 (max) phonsters

at lvl 100+, 66 phonsters

so something between those graph

10*log((x+1)/8)+35

1.7*sqr(x*20)+4

66*sin(x*pi/200)

Ln and sqr have the genereal good shape ...but i don't know how to limit them

while sin have the good max (66 phonsters at lvl 100 (200/2)) but not the good shape

i would like the beginning of my sqr graph, the middle of ln (once it reach sqr) and the end of sin

(hihi...the end of sin... :D ...hum...sorry)

If it's not exactly the values i put it's not a problem, the general shape is cool, the only limit are the max number (66 actually, but it can reach 150 or more in the future), the lvl when you will reach this limit (let say maybe 50/60...) and the fact that, even with level greater than this one, the graph will not be more than the max number

if some one could give me an hand i would really appreciate
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
A great part of the job is done...

Each phonster now has his own type (2 types for some)....

I base my values on "pokemon" for now (actually for exemple, crapeau, which should normally be water type, is herb/poison... like bulbasaur...phonster #1 =pokemon #1)

this can be changed easily (but i have not the time right now)

Attacks now have their own type too (text in french for now, easily changeable too)

Attacks will be of 3 types : physical, special or status alteration (like in pokemon, always)

Dex is displaying phonster well

Belt is displaying attacks well too.

Now i have to change the battle to compare Phonster type1/2 Vs Attack Type, and put the correct amount of damage multiplicator (already stored in a table in the database, always based on pokemon damage)

Once this will be done, i will put it in beta 1.0 :) as the game seems to work well, a great step has been done and most of the base are there

Of course, the game is still available in this state in the nightly version !

And due to Christmas celebration this evening and tommorow, i think the game will not have update since next week...next year :)

So merry christmas to everyone and happy new year !
[Android Apps and Games] Pekempy:
The Phonsters models are made in Spore correct?
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
you're right

this is the "quickest" method i had to put images

actually someone on the forum is redesigning them all
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
i'm actually adding an easteregg in the game, for those of you who really are pokemon fan ;)

but you will have to do some search if you want it :)

(in the next version)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
Everything is turning well with the weaknesses !!! :)

I will just have to made some more change in the attack i have added with the "pokemon" version, because it involve to add more details in some place to be perfectly usable

so, you can expect a new version in the first days of 2014

and will we reach 1234 users before the end of 2013 ? :) that should be great :)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
does anyone read the latest news about nintendo and android ?

their idea to develop "mini game" to introduce player to their device ...

does anyone think i may present my project or not ?
[Android Apps and Games] vinnyj85:
Couldnt hurt to try just make sure they cant take it from under you who credit or payment
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
As everyone knows, this will be valentine's day in few days...

For this special event, I'm coding the "Breeding" ...

Your phonster will be able to "met the special one" and to have babies :)

As in pokemon, The phonsters will be cross-breed-ed (does this word exists??) depending on their egg-type.

You will need a male and a female and the phonster who will born will be of mother type.

Once a day, the breed-keeper will check if an egg was hatched (will you be lucky or not ?) and lets you know it by email (so don't forget to update it in your settings ! :) )

In every case, if the phonsters are not compatible, he will let you know it.

Some phonster will not be able to breed... maybe a new kind will appear in the future to help them ...who knows ?

When in the Breeding, your phonster will get 1 XP every 10 minutes (144 XP/day)

This will only happens if your phonster is below Lvl20 !

After Lvl20, you will have to pay a pepite for a complete week (1008XP/week)

Once paid, you can put every phonster you want during this week

(ex : i put my Eau'cean Lvl 20 on monday 10.00AM, on thurday i remove him and put my Pan-terre lvl 24 until the next monday 10.00AM)

Of course... don't put a Lvl 1-20 phonster during this week... you will loose all the benefit of the pepite :)

However, you will have to pay Phonium to retrieve your phonster (amount not already defined *xp gained)

Phonster will not evolve in the Breeding, however, they will learn attacks/movements depending on their Lvl

Edit : when the phonster is in the "internet", you can put it in the "nursery" and you will have a little message displayed telling you which one is in the nursery (and you have a filter to only show the one who are in the nursery)

only 2 phonsters max

tomorrow, i code the "retrieve" part (with the XP, movement learning,etc...)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
In the tongiht (maybe tomorrow) update, everything is working fine for transfert/retrieve phonster to the nursery (you should go in "Internet" for this... and have wifi/3G enabled)

there is just one thing that is wrong, when you put a phonster in the nursery, if his "growing" chart is normally "parabolique" (see pokemon evolution chart for more about this) , i actually have put a "normal" evolution chart...

So, for example, you put a "crapeau", lvl 5, for 5 days, he will gain 720XP (5*24*60/10)

when you put it in the nursery, his XP should be 135=> (1.2*(N*N*N)-15*(N*N)+100*N-140) where N=Lvl

so he will be 855 at the end of 5 day, which should be LVL 11 with a parabolique evolution... but which is lvl 9 in normal evolution...

problem is automatically solved once in-game after an XP gain in a fight...but it can be problematic in the future

Actually, the movement are not learn yet !
[Android Apps and Games] LeJolly:
Or just emulate Pokemon? Anyways I've been thinking about this for a long time "why doesn't anyone make a native Pokemon app for Android". Here it is (Y)
[Android Apps and Games] ronandroid:
This is not exactly a "native pokemon apps" as there is no "rpg style" action for the moment...

No quest, no interaction with other player/NPC, etc...

But in the future i will add some quest (i'm planning on a quest for easter... stay tuned ;) )
