The process of making my DBP 2008 submission ready for the “Prime Time” of Community Games!

Revision 54

Saturday, November 28, 2009

I’ve done further work to fix MU crashers. With my solution, there can be data loss in some situations (namely if you select the MU, then remove it, then quit the game).  I was thinking about making the save auto-failover to the HDD, but I’m pretty sure folks might not like that, if their HDD save were […]

Revision 53

Sunday, September 13, 2009

It’s been a good long while since I posted an update! More MU bugs were found, and so I went back and made some significant revisions to my data management code.  Additionally, I worked out some better error handling, so that when people post bugs in the future, I can get more specific information. I’ll […]

Revision 52

Friday, July 10, 2009

During Peer Review, a serious bug was detected when a HDD and an MU were both present in the 360.  It was such a serious bug, that it would actually hang the 360 completely, requiring it to be hard terminated. The fix was simple, and it only took about 20 minutes to identify (once I […]

Revision 51

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

I fixed the crasher reported during playtest, and then uploaded Revision 51 to go into full Peer Review. I also identified a few threads which should prove useful in the future (recorded here for posterity): Evil Checklist Not-So-Evil Checklist Extremely useful! I can see where playtesting and reviewing could end up taking a lot of […]

Revision 50

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Today, I made several of the modifications recommended from the first playtesting cycle. I was somewhat surprised that more people did not comment during playtest.  I suppose since it IS a very informal stage, though, that it’s likely to get ignored for the most part.  We’ll see how this week goes, fix any issues that […]

Unlink To-Do List

Monday, June 8, 2009

I’ll be taking feedback from the playtest forum post and posting it up here. main menu has “exit to arcade”; drop “to arcade”, consider switching to “Return to Game Library” (Switched to “Return to Game Library”) difficult to ID black from dark gray; consider lightening “filler” shade (Switched from DimGray to Gray for guesses) speak […]

Revision 48

Saturday, June 6, 2009

Unlink is feature complete! I’ll be testing the product tomorrow morning, maybe also doing some performance testing. Then I’ll upload it to the community site tomorrow afternoon, and see what else needs to happen! How very nerve-wracking!

Revision 47

Friday, June 5, 2009

After a long delay, I’ve finally input the text for the tutorial section. I’ll be jotting down some ideas on images this weekend, pulling mostly from the stock I currently have.  I should have this submitted by Sunday (I’d originally estimated tonight, but I want to put a little more effort into things). How nearly […]

Revision 46

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Today, I accomplished some great things. First off, I finally figured out how to get gamer info.  Whew.  I don’t know why it took so long, but now the GamerPic shows up in the right place, unless you sign out in the middle of a game. I also think I integrated the IsTrialMode into things, […]

Revision 45

Saturday, April 25, 2009

Tonight, I switched out the hint layer for some actual useful hints. In easy mode, it will show both the white matches and the black matches. In normal mode, it will only show the white matches. In hard mode, it will show nothing. I argued with myself for a while about whether to show white […]
