Gm happy weekend everyone π
It was a big week, let's make the next ones even better
Comment me your suggestions for the tech side. I am curious to see what the community would like to see at @Pocket_Dragons_
Pocket Dragons Tech Update
One week since the last update, and this one is personal π₯
Since that update: 400+ changes across 1,800+ files, every one passing 7,000+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
New: your own star constellation in the Keeper Ledger
β¨ Your star constellation:
Every Keeper now has their own constellation, chosen by their Keeper card egg. Lava Keepers get Scorpius, Space Keepers get Draco, Ghost Keepers get Lynx, 16 real star patterns in all, each finished into a dragon.
- Every badge you earn lights one star, in the order you earned it. With 15 badges the whole dragon is lit.
- Your Keeper number gives you your own lighting path, so two Keepers with the same badges still look different.
- New badges will add new stars, so your constellation keeps growing with the quests.
π The portal:
@plooshGWIN's portal from the intro film now stands at the top of the Ledger. When the page opens, the frost plays once and fades, and your constellation stays in focus.
- Point at a badge on your standing card and a beam lights its star and its figure in the sky.
- Press the portal, a badge or a star to open your constellation full screen. Pick a star to see its badge, when you earned it and how many Keepers hold it.
- Sound: your stars light to your own rising tune, one note per badge, rarer badges higher.
πΌοΈ Download your constellation:
One press makes your own image: your rank as the headline, your badges, your name and picture, your constellation in the portal. Post it. Every Keeper's is different.
π The sky, rebuilt:
Every badge constellation is now a real star figure with bright cores and gold lines, all of them visible on the page, with slow clouds, a golden moon glow and a warm horizon. Point at one to see it rise in colour.
π¨ Creator Kit, now open:
Artwork and music for your own Pocket Dragons projects, free to use with credit. 84 artworks and 3 songs, with 20 brand new Blinky and Pinky renders by @plooshGWIN in ten poses each, transparent and 2048 px, plus the new hero of the two of them.
π
New quests and badges:
- Attend 3 Pocket Dragons Spaces on X from start to finish (the first Space comes next week).
- Put the π in your X name and keep it there.
- AMA regulars: two higher tiers for 5 and 10 AMAs.
π₯ Ember Chamber:
Tonight's card now shows the whole 16 egg clutch, which egg is tonight's, which one comes tomorrow, the eight eggs that only come from Tonight's challenge, and when the night turns, so nobody misses an egg again.
π± Also:
- The Ledger badge case is wider, with three columns and no scrollbar
- The portal, the constellation and the stage on phones too
- A new app icon: our logo, whole, for your home screen
- Your current X name and picture show everywhere, with no extra cost to us
- Faster image downloads, a privacy page that names everything the image carries, dozens of small fixes
We hope you like it. All Gas No Brakes. I will tease whatβs coming next in tomorrows AMA. See you in the AM and next week for the next dev update ππ₯
Also @imJust_Jonny when can we again see more from your PD game Tiny Terror?
Just finished our AMA today with over 1k listeners π₯π
Soooo huge, thanks for everyone turning and supporting!
Feels like NFTs are back, it's 2022 again.
Also check out our new animation, do you like it?
Pocket Dragons Tech Update
Two weeks since the last update on @Pocket_Dragons_ website, and this is our biggest release since the Hatchery opened π₯
Since that update: 440+ changes across 1,300+ files, every one passing 6,000+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
New: Ember Chamber, our first real mini-game inside the Hatchery
π₯ Ember Chamber:β¨
Help Blinky catch the falling embers and beat his 99 score in one game to win the new Ember Chamber badge.
- Hot embers are worth more, sparks give big points but cool your Blaze, and cold cinders cost a life. Real choices every second.
- Fill the Blaze and everything counts double. Survive the night until dawn.
- Collect all 16 eggs. Some only appear as the featured egg of the night.
- New animations for Blinky, a full music score and real instrument sounds for every catch.
- Play with taps, swipes, keys or your mouse.
π Tonight's challenge:β¨
One new night every day, the same night for everyone. Tonight is Night 1. β¨Every night plays differently: windy, frost, fire and more.β¨ Keep your streak going by playing once a day, on your own local day.
π Rankings:β¨
Compare your Ember Chamber scores with every Keeper: Tonight's ranking and an All time ranking.
π¬ Keep the conversation going:β¨
A new quest and badge. Support other Keepers' posts on X by commenting, liking, reposting and following each other. The more your name shows up, the better your chance to earn the Community Keeper badge. We manually chose winners.
π Keeper Ledger, fully rebuilt:
- The top 500 Keepers, grouped by how many badges they hold
- Your standing: your rank, why you are there, and what your next badge would do for you ("Your next badge lifts you to rank 12")
- "Up 5 places since your last visit"
- New this week: see who just earned a badge
- Badge Census: the rarest badge, and how many Keepers hold each one
- Sign in with X right on the Ledger
- Its own preview image when you share it on X
πΊοΈ Quest board, redesigned:β¨
Every quest now has the same clean card. Your unfinished quests come first, with clearer words everywhere.
Fixes and hardening:
- Sound now comes back after you leave the browser and return
- Badges you already collected no longer show their ceremony again when you sign in
- Sharing on mobile opens the X app directly
- Smoother scrolling on the Ledger, and no more surprise refreshes
- Better layouts on every phone size
- A private, cookie-free visit counter to help us improve the site
- Improved website performance (more significant updates on this coming next week)
- A lot of minor fixes...
We hope you like the new version! We are not stopping. All Gas No Brakes. Remember PD is not a gaming brand aiming for AAA games, but we are simply delivering fun and entertaining moment. We are building on multiple pillars. Web3 and financial, art, animation, tech, entertainment, community and much more.
See you next week with even more updates and new kind of badges! π€«
Who's ready for the next website update this week?
This time I have worked on 3 major changes/improvements
