JOCB Devlog 5.29.2023


A: CONTEXT

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

JOCB is a early-access Scratch game. It was originally posted on Scratch 3.0 as a means to provide a basic understanding of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is very early and is super-buggy. The newest release is in the package "Legacy Edition w/ Music" with updates including:

  • Game Jolt API

  • Runs on Turbowarp

  • AI-generated music for the built-in cookie clicker

  • Very small grammar fixes

These are not all the updates, but they are the most prominent, not including...

B: Encrypted Data Storage

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

The most important update is the encrypted data storage, which is currently released but undergoing active development. It takes the user's username and type ("Developer" or "GMR") and complies them into a single string. Then, with the help of a text encryption asset, encrypts the data to make the data a bit more private. It stores the encrypted text into an in-game file system, courtesy Turbowarp's extension. That fulfils one goal of mine, but what about the others...

C: What will be included in the next devlog?

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

The next devlog will most likely include:

  • Updates on the encrypted data

  • Updates on the currently developing Alpha Edition, courtesy of one of the collaborators

  • Some sneak-peaks of Alpha Edition

Know that the next devlog might not be out for a while. I'm very busy with school and the actual game development.

See you in the next devlog!
