Imagine a game that's a turn based strategy game, mixed with a side scrolling fighter and then add some rag-dolls and you've got Rivalry.
As the result of a successful Kickstarter for the marketing on his game at PAX , 14 year old Kew McParlane is presenting 'Rivalry', playable wireframe of his turn based two player sword fighting game of deep strategy and hilarious fun.
This week more work was done on adding button functionality to the remaining buttons with every skin button now having its own button functionality implemented.
Now the Unpublish, Report and Ban buttons have been given their corresponding functionality as well as the previously unconsidered buttons that arose from their completion such as Clear button (Which removes the reported skin from the reported list), Unban button (Which removes the banned skin from the banned list), and the Purge button (Which removes the skin from the Server completely).
However, there are still a few issues that have not yet been addressed. For example there is nothing stopping the user from reporting a skin multiple times. Currently, In order for a skin to be placed in the reported list it must be reported a certain number of times until it reaches a limit where it will be added to the list. So this current issue allows anyone to push any skin they don't want past this threshold and therefore add it to the reported list.
Another issue that persists is that the current notification system that is based entirely off skin statuses is lacking the required information to ensure that every client is aware of the current state of every skin. With the addition of the new Unpublish and Report button functionality it became apparent that if a skin was to be reported, as its state could not be changed (This is because a skin can be both online and reported at the same time) a notification would not be sent and no other clients would be aware of the skin being reported.
I am planning to fix this all next week with by including the action along with the status change to add that extra bit of information so that clients can stay updated.
