Game Development: Building Blocks and Breakthroughs

Progress on TestFlight has picked up significantly, with several key pieces falling into place.

Gym Leader Map

Issue #27 – Open

No major updates here yet. My attention has been elsewhere in development, and I’m still brainstorming the best layout for the tower. It’s on hold for now while I do more planning and research, but it’s on the radar.

Gym Leaders 1 & 2

Issue #12 & #13 – Open

I’ve selected 8 sprite candidates for my Gym Leaders and paired each with a custom badge. Names and types are all locked in! Still fine-tuning the overall design and placement, but it's shaping up really well.

Title Screen Update

Issue #25 – Closed

TestFlight now has a placeholder title screen for the v0.1a Alpha Build — a small but exciting step.

Fakémon Starters

Issue #24 – Open

All three starters are now added to the database! The next step is moving into the testing phase to refine their stats, movesets, and balance.

All in all, solid strides toward a playable demo. Still a long way to go, but the process is feeling more rewarding with each step.
