Hey all,
Sorry for the long time, no post situation. Like the guy who's maintaining the W20 page said, no news can be good news (paraphrasing of course). The situation is I'm having all sorts of stupid errors, and most of them are trying to stack in new functions and getting software feature bloat problems. I'm taking a new route by making a Java applet version to just check character sheets, character generation, and in game point spends. If and when I get this to work, I'll reskin the Android app over the Java, and then hopefully go to testing sooner than later. If it all works out like I hope, I'll be releasing versions v0.1 through v0.5 one month after another to act as a testing period.
What this means for you: Online testing! Due to the fact I don't actually own or have specific permissions from White-Wolf, the best I can do is make a gaming calculator. This will allow people to see how much work they'll have to do to make this pre v0.6 work for their game, and offer a presentation to White-Wolf/CCP to possibly hammer out a deal to have the same pre-loaded gifts, disciplines, merits, etc etc as original Grapevine has. This fancy gaming calculator will have two features to play with as well: making and reading XML versions Grapevine sheets that will work hopefully seamlessly with the original.
I'll make a post by April to cover more details and how I'm coming along. Till then, know I haven't given up on Mobile Grapevine, just having to circumnavigate issues in a new way.
Thanks for bearing with me,
ZBott
