This revision update is the next refinement for this game that has a TTS (text to speech) system that works like a built-in screen-reader. Also, new opossums has been added to an opossum selection screen.<\/p>\n<p>This update will be scheduled for next week as this game gets essential updates to ensure higher use of computer science is key for a stable game.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Highlights Of This Revision<\/h2>\n<h3>Fixed &#8220;Toolbox&#8221; Menu<\/h3>\n<p>Removed buttons that are intended for the &#8220;Gemini&#8221; menu as a way to ensure the native functions are accurate with computer science in mind.<\/p>\n<h3>Character Design Fixes<\/h3>\n<p>Fixed inconsistent designs of characters, and improved ALL characters. Dagmar Kone Reynolds has pure white ears with a cream diamond pattern as a design upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Removed pseudoscientific descriptions that are false to remove vanity traps.<\/p>\n<p>Continued used mathematics to have graphics and audio, and other components to work without effort.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Calibrated In-Game AI System To Dynamically Make Compact Opossums Available For Smaller Riders who are chosen<\/h3>\n<p>Currently, Version 0.1.0.7.7 used hard coded values that are designed for fixed attributes for each opossum, such as jill opossums, and fixed set of riders who are compact for compact opossums that are also crafted.<\/p>\n<p>This revision has an improvement to address this hard coding. Now, smaller riders who are 4 feet and 4.44 inches tall maximum are able to ride these small opossums (if desired). That reduces taller riders from riding these smaller opossums as a way to reduce pseudoscience.<\/p>\n<h3>Resolved inconsistencies when an opossum that is chosen is described via text, or TTS<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Removed redundant code to rely on a data-driven system to reduce hard coding.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed description for accuracy.<\/li>\n<li>Improved description of each crafted opossum.<\/li>\n<li>Refined in-game AI system to use a data-driven system to ensure hard coding of narrations are resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Added New Opossums<\/h3>\n<p>Crafted a new opossum, Rudy, and connected to the &#8220;Kone-Reynolds&#8221; passel. Set shoulder height between 3 and 4 feet tall. This character is available via Compact\/Crafted section via the opossum selection screen.<\/p>\n<p>Added Eugene, Arnold, Melvin, Safford, Ivan, and Isaac&#8230; the new jack opossums too!<\/p>\n<p>Added new jill opossums, such as: Daisy Rose, Callie Rose, and Stacey Jasmine as large-format opossums to ride for ANY rider packaged in this game.<\/p>\n<h3>Fixed &#8220;Clicking&#8221; During An Opossums&#8217; Elegant Chatter<\/h3>\n<p>Currently, Version 0.1.0.7.7 has relied on zero &#8220;anti-clicking&#8221; logic that resulted to &#8220;poor quality&#8221; sound. Now, the clicking has been resolved.<\/p>\n<h2>When This Update Will arrive?<\/h2>\n<p>This update will be posted on our server to ensure this game is up to date. If you are currently playing this copy of this game, you may need to check if your game is up to date. Also, rolling revisions will take place behind the scenes as we inprove this game.<\/p>\n<p>Estimated date is the beginning of November&#8230; that&#8217;s after Halloween!<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s New<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/FairiesDreamsFantasy\/Opossum-Ride-Adventure\">Opossum Ride Adventure&#8217;s game code<\/a> has a new repository where we house our open-source game, so anyone can inspect the code, and review it. Also, we are treating our game code as a work of art.<\/p>\n<p>Added Creative Commons license transparency per each crafted opossum. And why we are doing this is the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We have no intention to trademark our characters because, we opposed &#8220;Babylonian&#8221; practices that are not worth doing.<\/li>\n<li>Being selfish with our works can lead us to a serious sign of &#8220;digital hording&#8221;, and being stingy.<\/li>\n<li>We have no interests of building walled-gardens.<\/li>\n<li>We take copyleft very seriously (non-negotiable).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We implemented &#8220;copyleft enforcement&#8221; to our games, and if DRM is applied by a disgruntled developer who distribute this game to a closed platform, such as Nintendo, XBOX, or other closed-source platform&#8230; this game will not work. And this is not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Optical discs with copy-protected enabled<\/li>\n<li>DRM<\/li>\n<li>Hardware that uses closed-source hardware.<\/li>\n<li>Dilution of copyleft notices via any means. This is not limited to circumventing copyleft enforcement.<\/li>\n<li>ROM cartridges with embedded DRM.<\/li>\n<li>And more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Please Note:<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s still some hard coding what we have to tackle overtime. It may take some time for us to fully make this code easy to manage, and make this game work with greater computer science as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opossum Ride Adventure has been updated to address hard coding, pseudoscience, and other issues.
