THE Captain's Log #41 - About GameJolt integration

Hello people! So recently I've been thinking about this. There is this page called GameJolt. And there is an API for RPG Maker, that lets you upload scores, add trophies, between other cool things (it can also upload things to the GameJolt server which is something I'm kind of interested on seeing what could be done with).

It's a really nice system. And well, I implemented it on Dreki. Right now is just for testing. Here are some captures.


This one is the login. You can login from the title screen by pressing the Menu button (D by default).


And this is the login screen. Right now... well it works.

Now the issue I have is that for this to be done, I'm going to encrypt the game. That's something I was not going to do, but since the GameJolt API uses some sensible information regarding the game page in GameJolt, I need to close it. Anyway, the scripts are a mess, and the audio and graphics will be available for download in some other way. So I don't think there will be any problem. This is actually more a problem for me! Because encryption sucks time!

Other things being made with the game are making better the gamepad integration. There are some things to do, and some things already done.
- TODO: Support for button rebinding. Also I'm making a second set of key bindings for keyboard.

- DONE: Control tips on menues and messages change depending on the input you're using.


- DONE: Moved some control tips a little lower, with the intention of making them more visible.


And that's it for now. Right now I'm polishing technical stuff, and fixing bugs. Then I will continue implementing the story. Implementing story and making the necessary graphics is easy and fun. But everything gives me satisfaction :^D.

Salut and thanks for reading!
