Not that good?! It’s great!!!
Will it work in Spain?
Yes, but the TV guide feature might need a different API service.
Youll still be able to search, favorite programs, comment and draw over screenshots of these (similar to US TVii)
Would be cool to see this in Europe. Nintendo never made it for Europe or Australia, they cancelled it while it was developing. (I pray Nintendo doesn’t sue you.)
They couldnt lol.
The UI isnt even made by them (at least US) since it was made by a different company (i.TV), and even then, its just a few assets im re-utilizing, since most elements use gradients that the browser just renders (in CSS), and i had to remade some assets (because yknow, TVii was never dumped, unlike other apps like Miiverse or eShop, and the code for this revival was made from scratch lol)
and its not even using the same APIs they used, its using public ones… lol…
i.TV???
Do you mean ITV, the British broadcaster? I think ITV Hub was planned for the Wii U at some point but never happened.
They were an american second screen TV entertainment company (mobile apps, websites)
so if you think about it…
GamePad… second screen…
Starts to make sense why Nintendo had a partnership with them and let them develop the american version of TVii, they wanted to make it an entertaining app, compared to the japanese TVii, which was just a TV guide with barely any other features.
So Nintendo probably wanted to make the app more advanced and ambitious for the US side since they had competition like Xbox and their media center…
Does anyone here know any skeuomorphical Nintendo-ish designer/asset designer? I’m not in the Pretendo server for reasons, but i needed someone that could help me in designing some missing assets, since i dont have the skills for that (i just write the client code, CSS, JS, not good at designing assets)
If anyone here knows anyone, please tell me their discord so i can try contacting them…
It’s probably going to be best asking one of the developers, I don’t really have any contacts with UI (I do some UI myself but I’m definitely not capable)
Adinaton over at the Aroma discord. He’s done most of the (pretty) app icon for plugins, apps bundled with Aroma and some Splash screens too. Pretty active on there, I’d ask him if I we’re you
Tried, seems hes really occupied
damn…
But yeah, i keep working on this project, i just do simpler placeholder assets when i need them
This project looks super cool. Can’t wait to try it!
Another image update lol
Working on finishing the setup page while also working on the normal user experience
Popular programs on streaming platforms already work and are listed! I have to implement the program view page and the TVTag (live interaction) UI, which might be difficult but not impossible
Offtopic, but I saw your about page on Youtube, and I saw you say you work on a TVii/Demae revival.
Are you actually going to revive Demae?
Yeah, but i kept it on hold to prioritize TVii
More updates on the UI! It looks really good for me!
This is also real data! So close to fully reviving TVii as it originally was…
I am also preparing for an beta already have a few testers that have the proxy setup to test it
Hmm Proxy tvii?
INSTERESTING CAN I HAVE IT?
What apis are you using for Nintendo TVii?
Thanks for putting so much work into this amazing project! I’ve never actually used TVii because it was so short-lived, so I’m excited for the beta!
TheMovieDB.org API for pulling program information/episodes/cast/suggestions
Zap2It API for TV guide for US/CAN
BlueSky API for crossposting comments/drawings on TVTag to, well, BlueSky
also using TVii´s built in Miiverse API to post to Miiverse
