BlackRain

BlackRain is a secret project that i'm working on created using Panther.  this is where i'll release updates about blackrain and eventually tell you what it is exactly.

BlackRain is something designed to have scratch projects imported into it and played.  those projects will allow you to unlock achievements which gives you points.  these points can be spent in the store on upgrades for blackrain games.  some people would say this is similar to isyn.  isyn acts as an ipod does, installing apps to the ipod for you to play when you please.  BlackRain works more similarly to an xbox or playstation.  importing games with the push of a button, and then deleting them after you are finished playing with them.  blackrain also keeps track of achievements you have won, so importing a game, getting an achievement, deleting it, and importing it again will have no affect on which achievements you get.

BETA

as of now the beta of blackrain contains
-fully functional music player which allows for importing music, recording music, and playing music
-backgrounds area which allows you to change the background, create your own background, or import your own
-the ability to save blackrain

what is coming soon
-ability to use the blackrain store to buy upgrades for games
-ability to play games using blackrain.

if you want your game to be included in blackrain playable games, let me know!


if you are encountering errors downloading blackrain, an alternate download is available Here

Re: BlackRain

okay time to spill a little bit:

BlackRain is something designed to have scratch projects imported into it and played.  those projects will allow you to unlock achievements which gives you points.  these points can be spent in the store on upgrades for blackrain games.  some people would say this is similar to isyn.  isyn acts as an ipod does, installing apps to the ipod for you to play when you please.  BlackRain works more similarly to an xbox or playstation.  importing games with the push of a button, and then deleting them after you are finished playing with them.  blackrain also keeps track of achievements you have won, so importing a game, getting an achievement, deleting it, and importing it again will have no affect on which achievements you get.

if you want, you can request for me to make one of your games compatible with blackrain.  it has to be EXTREMELY GOOD though.  only high quality games.

Re: BlackRain

nah i won't make it unhackable, where's the fun in hacking.  even xbox can have gamerscore added by hacking.

as for auto updates, i've got a way to make it update everything don't worry.

Re: BlackRain

So, it's like a "jailbreaking" program for Scratch?
