Version 0.6 Feature Breakdown

Posted by on

Well Agents, it’s finally out. Version 0.6 took twice as long to create than I expected, and hooking it up to live data almost as long. But it’s here now, and I’ve taken over the Blog today to tell all you Agents what it’s got and how to use it. So here goes:

Global Chat System

First of all, we now have a Global Chat system within Geomon. The Forums are great, and we are loving our new Moderators, but not very convenient when you’re out exploring away from your computer, or if just want to keep your eyes peeled on the Radar. So now adjacent to the Friends List on the Radar Screen is a button that will lead you to the Espercorp Global Chat.

There are four Chat Channels. There’s a Global channel for everyone, a Support channel for anyone who needs help, a Field Agent channel (which one depends on your own Rank), and a Trade channel (self-explanatory). You can “subscribe” or “unsubscribe” to each of these rooms by tapping on their icon. While subscribed to a channel you will receive all messages sent to it, so long as you are in Chat.

New Starting Espers

As you may have noticed, we have four brand new Espers available for our up-and-coming Agents: Ascalon the adventurous, a Toxic-type whelpling with a knack for getting into trouble; Korora the calm, an Ice-type penguin and tactical mastermind; Sakunam the spirited, a Fire-type red panda who loves a challenge; and Varg the fierce, a Shadow-type wolf who favors strength and determination.

Compensation For Your Services

Hello, Agents.

I am Robert Horowitz, Chief Financial Officer of EsperCorp. I’d like to tell you a little bit about the compensation you will receive as agents of EsperCorp. We are extremely grateful for your help in cataloging these strange new beings, and we want you to know your time and energy does not go unnoticed.

Unfortunately, since EsperCorp is privately funded and has no source of revenue, we can’t exactly pay you. Instead, we can give you crystal shards, which are bits of energy that are ejected from an esper when it is captured or defeated in battle. With shards, you can buy certain items from our online market—and thus improve your own ability to fight and capture more espers. We can use the shards you pay us for own experiments and for developing new and useful items.

We will soon be offering “bounties,” in which you can complete assigned tasks in return for shards and items. As we focus and expand our research, more assignments and missions will become available to our agents. We hope that you are as excited and motivated by the prospect of exploring the thymosphere as we are.

Thank you,
Robert Horowitz

ANCHOR and You

Hey guys, Scott here. I’m EsperCorp’s Chief Engineer, and I just wanted to fill you in on your role in the EsperCorp process.

We are only a small team of scientists, and it will take some time before we become recognized by the “legitimate” scientific community. That’s why we need you, Agents of EsperCorp, to help us with our research. Different espers exist all over the world, and with ANCHOR we can catalogue the espers of the world and learn about them.

Basically ANCHOR, or Automated Network of Crystal Harmonizers for Optical Rendering, is a means of communicating with the thymosphere and with us. I don’t want to bore you with the details, but with it you can send and receive spirit energy through our network and give directions to espers that have bonded to you.

When you join, we’ll give you a starting esper, which you can use to explore the thymosphere. In order for us to gain sufficient data, we want you to bond with as many espers as possible. Unfortunately, this can only be done by weakening them and bonding them with crystal energy. This is convenient because, as it turns out, pretty much whenever you engage with an esper right now, they’re looking for a fight.

When you bond with an esper, you can direct its behavior and have it fight for you in battle, which will help you bond with even more espers. In order for us to collect data, we’ll need you to bond with as many espers as possible. We still don’t know much about espers yet, especially espers from different parts of the globe.

Through your ANCHOR we can send you a wide variety of spectral items that will help you better capture espers. We can even remotely heal your espers through your ANCHOR Vault once an hour.

Every time you scan an esper, we’re recording their fighting behaviors and a whole host of characteristics. We can learn even more from espers you send us. If you catch a lot of espers and make your team stronger, we’ll upgrade your device so that you can go after some of the bigger espers. There are some powerful spirits out there, and we don’t want you engaging with them unless you can handle it. Good luck!

Welcome!

Hello to all of you visiting Espercorp.com for the first time! I am Dr. Rhine, Founder and Head Scientist here at Espercorp. I am so excited to finally be able to share my wondrous discovery with the world! Through this log we will keep you up to date on our company progress.

But first, a quick explanation of exactly what Espercorp is and what we’re trying to accomplish here. I first discovered the Thymosphere while working as a Physicist at Stanford University. Doctors James Alister and Mark Nielson (now Scientists here at Espercorp) were my research assistants at the time, and they’ve worked with me ever since, even when the University cut my funding. Over the last five years we’ve worked tirelessly to develop a stable method of detecting and scanning the Spirit World.  Now that we’ve got a working model of the ANCHOR system up and running our CFO Robert says it’s time to go public with our discovery:

“Spirits” are real. They aren’t what we thought they were—they’re not ghosts and they’re not supernatural. They’re beings of energy, and it’s only because they aren’t made up of physical matter that we cannot see them. But we can feel them.

They’re all around us. I would go so far as to posit that every time you’ve felt the hair stick up on the back of your neck, every time you’ve been happy or sad or scared for no reason, every time something happened that you couldn’t explain, an Esper was involved. And now, finally, we can communicate with them!

At the risk of sounding self-important, I believe this will be the defining discovery of the next century. What we have discovered is a window into the mind of life itself. It is my belief that through understanding the Thymosphere and its relationship with the Terrestrial World, we will make a brighter, happier tomorrow.
