Version 0.6 Feature Breakdown

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.

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!
