High School Simulator
There are so many games that go unplayed on the Play store. I always browse the New Releases section to see if anything good shows up. I recently ran into a game called "High School Simulator" created by KUMA Games.
This game left me in such a state of bewilderment that I knew I had to share it with the community. Here is a little review of what I experienced.
Immediately the game gives me nostalgic flashbacks with its similarities of my own high school experience. You start the school day off as all of your fellow students hustle to get to class in time. You’ll get to see all of the usual groups like the preps, the loners, the bullies, the kids with antlers and the cat-people. Ah yes, it’s all coming back to me now.

So before I do anything else, I need to get ready for school. So I’m sure you’re all familiar with the routine. Step one: Grab a weapon. Just like any high school, a selection of weapons is laid out for you by the entrance. Select the one that you like the most.
After getting armed and ready for school, it turns out I’ve become late for class. All of my classmates have disappeared into the school and I did not see where they went. Then out of nowhere this massive cat shows up and casually strolls into the school as if this were normal.
I begin to explore the school grounds to see if I can figure out where I’m supposed to go. The school building has maybe twenty floors or so. I search them and I'm unable to figure out where my class is. After some hopeless searching about, I'm able to find the gym where several students are clearly out of dress code.
Before I am able to participate in any sports, all of the students leave class for lunch time. I finally meet up with my classmates as they exit the school building and head to the cafeteria across the campus.
The characters in the game are unique to say the least. I don’t know why but half of them are dressed as animals. High School has changed a bit since I’ve gone.
I’m still a bit confused about what I’m supposed to do with the weapon so I decide to test it out. The controls take a minute to get used to but they aren’t bad compared to some other Android games that I’ve played.
So after using my weapon a bit the school decides to call in the military to come take control of the situation. Dozens of soldiers come rushing into the school armed with guns. They look over the dead bodies and seem confused.
I walked up to one group of soldiers and slice them with my katana. At this point the words “Broken Heart” appear on the screen and the game ends… What?
I’m not quite sure what I’ve just played but you really have to experience this game for yourself. Each new level of the game is a new day. You can play through the game and see what happens but I'm not sure what the goal is. Overall the game is a 10/10 and wins the Oscar for best costume design.
You can download it from the Play store for free.

Notice me, Senpai!
I believe the YouTube Let's-Player Markiplier played this quite a bit at one point! This may be a port though.
This is a straight rip-off of Yandere Simulator

Looks like you're right. Do you know if the original is any good?

The original is pretty good, however it is still in pre-alpha. The game is not complete yet only for 5%. It's only available for pc. The developer keeps a very detailed web and video log on the development progress.

First of all: this site seems to continue to attract new cool people, and I'm greatly enjoying the easy way we all seem to work together.
The whole site got 20-30% busier relative to a week ago. We're averaging well over 1000 visits a day now. These are probably mostly new people lured by the prospect of the Special Edition ROM and its ability to unlock without the serial cable.
Communities like ours feed on fresh blood and new ideas. So let's all try to be extra nice and tolerant these next few days and weeks. Some growing pains are probably inevitable, but think how some of these new folks are likely to bring interesting knowledge and experience. (Even if most of the others just bring newbie questions you've all seen a million times.)

A big thanks for the hard work on the site guys, a great resource. Starting to feel a bit more comfortable with my XDA now
Yeah! you guys did a great job! and most of all I like the fact that you are not trying to commercialize this. Respect...
i just joined up because this community reminds me of another kick-ass community that I also joineded: The Tivo Community. This forum has the same passions, feel and excitement. I love that I have found a place to hang out that is ACTIVE and chock full of great information.

LOL as much as I doubt they would.... if these very kind people did try to "commercialize this" they'd find a lawsuit in the post by HTC, O2, T-mobile and just about every telecoms company that supports the HTC-wallaby device...
Even if O2 cant support its own userbase...
Personally I think its a shame that the O2 official support had to be done as an april fools joke. By far this would have been the best move that the non computer literate O2 could have done.
Unfortunatly maybe it would mean this site becoming too busy and overwhelming the developers?

"Yeah! you guys did a great job!" ...seconded
Hi guys,
Just wanted to leave a quick thank you for the work you're doing. I've been able to do some great things with my device due to this site and the great community that's developed here.
I live in Australia and the XDA is pretty expensive over here so I bought a T-Mobile unit from the US. You guys made it possible for me to get the thing unlocked and online as soon as it was in my hot little hands
Many thanks.
Great work guys,
i cant comment on excellence!
Keep it up and whatever you need from us as support we will do it.
Regards
Update...
Remember I posted the webstats halfway through June? It got even busier since:
To put that in perspective: look at the monthly totals:
I'm glad our community still functions as well as it does, given this insane growth.
You're all fantastic...
Exponential growth continues...
As you can see above, the site used to do 1 GB a day on really busy days in June. We did 2 and 1.8 GB on 1st and 2nd of July respectively. About 2/3 of that seems to be forum traffic, and we get 1600+ visits a day now.
I don't know if many of you remember the screensaver Johnny Castaway available in the 90's for the PC. it was IMO the most entertaining screensaver ever. It would be great, if someone with artistic skills can create it for a live wallpaper...
OMG I love johny castaway. I have it as my screensaver in linux now using wine and some bash scripting. Johny as a live wallpaper would be insanely awesome.

Mentioned this to the other guys in our company a few months ago. I actually managed to track down the guy who created Johnny Castaway and he works for/started a game programming company now if I remember correctly. I never contacted him about whether he would allow someone to use Johnny Castaway, though, since we were busy developing other projects.
I'm not sure how intensive it is to create live wallpapers, but I'll talk with our lead programmer. We've got a lot going on right now with other development, so it would probably be a little while before we could get to it, if at all.
Johnny Castaway was friggin awesome! I loved that screen saver
Yes!
I've searched and searched for this for my phone! Someone please develop it!
seems like a nice saver. It'd make a very funny live wallpaper
well can someone get the screensaver and post it here? if i remember correctly it was a guy in a deserted island? like emmmmm windows 95 time? get it and we will try to recreate it in LWP (dunno how windows screensavers work but i will try)

not working on my system :s Win7 x64. tried compatibility mode also.
There is no version for Vista or newer versions of windows. :/
I would love to have a JC animated wallpaper!
At least i'm dreaming of a new rendered, 3D Win7 compatible Screensaver of JC.
I'd even pay for!
There are so many fans out there, this would be a great deal!

i am getting nostalgic right now....
I just now saw this post but my team has been working on a clone. It's been slow going because of day jobs but I personally will have some time off at the end of the month until next year and I plan to spend most of it working on this. Right now we have an island with the sun/moon rising/setting based on the time of day and your gps location. Our next task is to get the decision tree done and then animations.
Here's a screenshot from my phone

Now that is some exciting news! Please keep us posted!
Will do. Also we'll probably need some beta testers in the future and if anyone has an interest in working with us by providing code or art then post/email. I'll post again when beta testing starts.
Any news about it ?
I can be a beta tester. No problem at all. =D

somewhat related. what i did was download jc through utube. saved the file as an mp4 then used video live wallpaper. works for me. i also downloaded heaps of other clips like:
-spiderman swinging around the city
-the pug licking your screen
-tomb raider / lara croft running around / swimming
-afterdark flying toasters
i even have a video of the iphone screen wash (iwash) which i rarely use.
cheers
If you not had the pleasure of using the Johnny Castaway Screensaver, it was unlike any others. The beauty and true fun of it was not that it was a cool guy on an island in some funny scenarios. This screensaver shined on special days like new years eve when you see him celebrating, or rare scenes such as when he dreamed of being rescued. It run ok on xp without tweaking except it would only occupy the middle of the screen (look fine with background turned off). If one could recreate the real fun of this screensaver in an android live wallpaper, that would be an easy purchase for me.

I loved this wallpaper as a kid. I remember it on my fathers pc.
I am going to do everything in my power to make this a reality on the android phone.

Basically anything you've ever wanted to do with WEBOS, put your ideas here. I have a ton of em'.
I'm puzzled about the purpose of this post. Is it a wishlist? Is there a WebOS 4 being planned?

In fact, it's an excellent question! Having just bought a Touchpad, I've only just begun to play with WebOS, but already I love it, I'm really hoping they continue to develop the platform!
you guys have to know 3.0.2 is the end right....i mean...come on

That's what I thought. Which makes this thread a bit pointless IMHO.....
Nope, actually- they are continuing with WebOS. The Touchpad is still in it's infancy, it came out weeks ago.
We're dedicated users.

Someone's a little late to the party. Touchpad is over, and so is Web OS Development.

And you have proof of this?
being a dedicated user has nothing to do with HP canning the whole webOS platform. I think we are in this on our own.
Guys, HP are not discontinuing WebOS software, only the hardware. for example:
http://www.mobiledia.com/news/109675.html . And just a little google of HP Touchpad, switch to google news and filter the last few days and you'll be able to read plenty if you want to update your facts. Of course we havent heared a comprehensive strategy being put in place, only that they are looking into licensing models for WebOS and are to continue to develop and optimise the os.
Of course this is just a wishlist, and I have a few myself, though most can be solved with better apps in the market so i'm not going to go into them.
I would like to see better use of of cards, enabling them as wigets as well as just a minimised view of the app would be a good start. With views showing updated information from facebook/news apps etc when in card view. But I'm torn between the bliss simplicity of card view and the functionallity but sometimes overwhelming mess we get from my wigetised home screens in android.
WebOS is not dead yet, after keeping my ear to the ground, HP plans to release 3.0.4 soon (no eta) which the most notable feature is HDMI from micro usb over MHL adapter...its apparently still in testing phase but it supposed to drop before the end of the year.
ill look for the source, but either way, its not completely dead, the app catalog is still updated weekly as well
but it is dying HP is recognizing the hardware and marketing for palm devices as a complete failure, and will resume focus on the PC market, all but abandoning the mobile niche market.
There's no reason to give up a great platform. I don't know why people are so depressed.
Leo Apetheker might have been as crazy but I've been a fan of the Touchpad since Day 1.
No matter what they do to it, I don't see it ending anytime soon.
in reality HP have said they will continue support so that it looks like a viable proposition to purchase.
I believe 3.04 has already been seen in the wild, 3.03 certainly has. I think that we will all be glad of the android port sooner than we would like.
please prove me wrong HP
I'm sure they've got some wild monkeys running their company, they talk of cancelling, discontinuing...and yet, they want to sell it?
They're trying to sell something that they've lowered the value of.
Thread closed as there is no real basis for this topic.
Back a few years in the early days of android. There once was an app called "launcher pro". For anyone that's been around for some time this app will sound very familiar.
I still remember when I first discovered it and the excitement that came whenever I noticed there was an update for it. With each update the launcher became more and more my favorite. So much so, it had become my standard to compare to. Whenever I tried out another launcher I immediately noticed the difference. Nothing else seemed to compare to the responsiveness and overall smoothness of LP. I would always return to LP because the others seemed to pale in comparison to its glory.
It became one of the first apps I installed anytime I got a new phone. To me it had became synonymous with android and its capabilities. I ended up using it as my daily driver for the next couple of years to come.
Unfortunately Ice Cream Sandwich killed compatibility with LP and so ended my long time relationship with one of the best apps I've ever used To this day I still ponder on the incredible potential exhibited through this app by the mind of an amazing developer.
Federico Carnales is/was a staple for the android community and an example what determination and effort can produce. He's been frighteningly absent from the android world for roughly a year and a half now with his applications on the play store even today. However there they lay unsupported and unfit to install in newer versions of android.
So what happened? Where did he go? I recall a letter written to him because many other like minded individuals began scouring the net in fear of his death. I personally gave up searching the net for an answer for his apparent silence.
So am I the only to remember the good ol days of launcher pro? What was your experience with this app?
Does anyone know of his whereabouts?

Ha ha, thanks for the tip.

Word. As an early android user myself Launcher Pro was a beacon of hope for functional, efficient and beautiful app seekers like me. I still remember the impending launch of the social stream widget that would show a combined stream of all my social networks. I could be wrong but I think at the time the only other widget with such a capability was provided by stock launchers. HTC sense if my memory serves me right.
I lost little time in deciding to buy the pro version on what was a launcher that absolutely had no competition for the features I was looking for. I recall even then Frederico would take his time in implementing new features. That was cool because Frederico was connecting to my needs.
I came upon this post when I happened to search for Frederico after chancing upon LP on the play store and being reminded of my early experiences with Android. I too was intrigued to notice that the app hasn't been updated in years.
Wonder what happened to the developer.
It's nothing uncommon for developers just to stop and walk away. It happens everyday. Mainly with Android developers.
I've been using LP since the first Galaxy S phone came out. Was using it until the other day on a Galaxy S5 with Android L. Wanted to try it on the Pocophone now but it's not on Google Play anymore. Awesome piece of work ...
Yeah... i just wanted to re-download it myself a couple days ago and noticed it was missing... i took the time to chat with Google play help, and this is what they gave me in answer, after checking with the Google play team...

Same here. It really shows what a great app it was if there are this many strangers reminiscing about it over the years. I found similar posts/pages via a Google search of others that have wondered as well.
Hey guys. I've been a long time lurker at XDA, and since I recently graduated I traded my spare time for beginning my story with App Development. Currently I am learning to code properly and working on first serious app that I could publish, but in the meantime using AppInventor and Andromo just to have the extra motivating push of knowing how it feels to actually create something. Needless to say, that's what I did, and despite the simplicity and amateur-ishness of my first creation, I love how it feels and makes me want to make actually great stuff.
I wanted to find a special place to post said first ever creation and what would it be other than a development board closest to my heart, where I've read countless advice and obtained so many amazing software creations in form of custom ROMs? So I decided this will be it and for this app probably the only place I post this.
I know the app is not actually a fancy utility and that the quality is also far from being up to par (it doesn't crash and uses a tiny amount of resources though!), the app was made with thought of how I like spending time - I wanted a simple and minimalistic (resource-light) radio player with a nice atmosphere that would just seamlessly allow me to choose between music I listen to sleep, to relax/study or if I feel like something more nostalgic like old school Nintendo soundtracks. As a bonus it also includes an Anime radio. I did not want confusion of choosing the right radio stream, I just included carefully picked, one best for each category. And so it is, exactly that and just that, with a pleasant Panda background. Still I would deeply appreciate if you guys could just check it out and give it a try. Just with a thought that it's my first app, with hopes that there will be many actually good ones to come.
I will maintain this app to make sure it works properly just due to its sentimental value, so if you know anyone who would actually enjoy it, please feel free to share.
Thanks for everything guys!
And this is it:

I like it!
I think you can tap into an interesting group of people. If you polish it up a bit and add a few more features and stations, you can have a real serious product here!
Do you have to have licensing for these songs in order to make money off the app?
I would love an exclusive 8bit video game soundtrack. One that would pump you up, whether it be while studying or going for a jog or even just driving around.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
As for the radios, most of them are Shoutcast stations used with permission of their creators and the app aggregates those. I would not be unfortunately able to maintain several 24/7 radio streams at a time.
I will actually keep that in mind about the 8bit gaming music, I think that is a great suggestion. I tried to somewhat make that happen with the gaming music radio station included in the app.
In the meantime I tried to follow on the radio idea and sort-of reused it in a more refined and so far thus more successful app aimed at relaxation and meditation:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev578695.app548348
I just launched it and it got enough active users to get itself in the popular category for meditation music!
Next step, going for writing raw code for the apps, since with my current ones I helped myself with code generators, to start things off. It still takes a lot of time and effort that unfortunately doesn't pay itself off, but I'm doing it as a hobby, since I didn't choose app development as my career. I wish to stick to it to make only better apps, it is very satisfying to me, so maybe I chose a wrong career after all!
Thank you very much, and thanks everyone who checked my apps out! This place has always been one I looked up to for great developer brains and community.

Actually.. I took your request to heart and made such app! It plays all sorts of video game music, with 19 stations just playing different varieties of game soundtracks, it includes oldies and 8bit video game soundtracks too. I just published it:
