it sounds like it could be interesting, but then I wonder if it would change the game balance if when we single tapped, we did the 1/2 speed sneaking crawl instead of stopping and hiding...so we wouldn't have the total stop like we do now I still think the guards in this beta are much more aggressive...I've had so many of them suddenly turn at a crouched guy and charge straight at him...then he inevitably gets killed since I can't have him stand up when he's in the cone and they wind up shooting him anyway because they get right next to him
Very interesting change in the game dynamics. It is certainly frustrating about getting caught in the Cone of Death (TM) However, being able to move out of the Cone potentially makes the likelihood of death much less likely - as you could theoretically have every one at the 1/2 pace, and just have a few at normal pace. Makes the management piece much easier. So, if playing lives mode you might be able to get hundreds of people through. Would not matter so much for time mode as you have to keep them moving. I like the new map a lot. Looks quite challenging. I might be one of the people that had things to say about the voices - I like them, I just think that for the same type of soldier - you can have the phrases - just needs to sound like several different people rather than 1 person saying multiple different phrases.
The new map looks good I like the voices personally, but I agree multiple people saying the phrases would be an improvement. I think the crawl pace would be abused in line mode as there are areas the gaurds never actaully walk on so they could just use the crawl mode and send them all through there. But for time mode it may be useful.
Not sure about this crawl mode, I wouldn't overcomplicate the game dynamics. Current voices are great - some new phrases would be a nice addition, I agree with the others - glad that the german ones are coming
TO ALL BETATESTERS OUT THERE: We won't be sending new beta this weekend. We rather spend more time on it and deliver super polish build. The build will include online score, new map, and new secret game twist after you reach very high score (say 200). I think you will be suprised. Can't wait to see the global leaderboard... We are using OpenFeint for it! Have a good weekend!
Did I miss out on getting into beta testing for this game? It looks awesome. PM me if I can still get involved [ PS. I run a blog with a bunch of influence. I can vamp your ratings ]
HAX! Today, I opened the app, and it looked a bit like this: The guards and house weren't just invisible, they weren't there at all! The glitch allowed me to get to a very high score with no penalty, I got to about 154 when I got bored (no challenge you see), so I tried to see how many soldiers would go onto the screen without a crash. I got to 5 (maybe 6?) Anyway, I pressed the home button and reopened 33rd division, still the same. I eventually managed to fix the glitch by going to the main menu and starting a new game. I don't know how to recreate the glitch, but if someone could, they would be able to absolutely blitz the highscores table. My only guess as to recreating the glitch would be to completely drain your battery, then plug in your idevice and open the app (that's exactly what I did) EDIT: I got to 5 people on screen (4th image down)
you don't have a jailbroken idevice? What is your device and firmware? This has not been mentioned here before. Did you install new software , and power down , and then turn it back on? There are potentially a number of explanations a number which may not have to do with this app. Of course, it sure could as well it may help to send your crash logs to craneballs.
No, not jailbroken (although I was until recently) iPod touch 2G running 3.0 By new software do you mean apps? If so yes, (iMech, Bowman, Touch Cricket) but that shouldn't affect the game...
Had you been using Safari, iPod, or viewing large attachments in Mail? If so it could be that the memory was full and the background textures couldn't load but the game engine continued running. I've seen it happen on other betas i've done.
Okay, let's clear this up. My battery had been drained and my iPod had turned off. I plugged I into a power source and booted it up. Opened 33rd Division. Ta Da! Hence, I don't think it was a memory problem as it had just been rebooted.
Hey, thanks for finding this glitch. It happened because there was a bug when saving game (when home button is pressed). It didn't save the level number properly so then it didn't load it neither It's fixed now. You'll getting the new beta with all the awesome features later this week. Thanks!
