Hey, we just got some cool news to share. but it's only kinda connected to this contest...still, track with me here. As part of our game projects we are also starting to work on a graphic novel that's connected to all that's going on in G and the other games. The story is set on Bast and covers the strange happenings on that mysterious world. So today we hooked up with a really great artist named Alan Close. Check out his portfolio app here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apocalypso-design-portfolio/id341367413?mt=8 What really caught our eye was his work on a graphic novel called 'Dust:Fire From Heaven' With any luck, we'll have an eight page teaser ready when the contest lights off in earnest and I'm certain you'll really like Alan's stuff.
High score for the 25th goes to Gabriel with a whopping 516,403 in one day! http://www.somagames.com/ARC/contractor_profile.php?contractor_id=1131 And he also works for Mystery Alliance which constitutes a genuine streak for those folks. http://www.somagames.com/ARC/MysteryAlliance/
So, from 3-16 of march the grand prize goes to the player with the highest campaign score during that period....am I correct? Great game btw.... Very, very fun
I'm buying it because the website made it look pretty cool. It would have been nice to have some gameplay videos on the developer site (I couldn't find any on Youtube either). Since it was only a buck I bit. edit: Nevermind, I found a release trailer on the site in older news so maybe it isn't a problem. :lol:
Disappointingly the game locks up on me at one point in the tutorial every single time. I rebooted by iTouch and it keeps locking at the same exact point. I'm not sure I would recommend buying the app at the moment.
Yep that is correct. * Must play 2.0 version on the iPhone or iTouch (no PC/Intel players...yet) * Scores must be posted to the on-line leaderboard between March 3 and March 16 * Any corporation bonuses dont count toward contest score. * Highest cumulative score in those two weeks wins the iPad.
http://youtube.com/somagames http://vimeo.com/somagames They video of the play is not the 2.0 version though.
I will PM you my email. edit: And thanks for the youtube link. Always useful if I'm going to try to recommend it to someone else.
RaptorF35, that's basically right but it should be differnetiated slightly from campaign score. Because your campaign score will include any corporate bonus you might get and the contest score will leave those out. Achievements do count though. Glad you like it. take some screen shots of any cool paths you get and post them here - that'd be fun.
Gotcha. What? Take screenies and show off my secrets? Uh uh...i take screen shots now so I can get the scores in march for the contest, but I'm not going to post em...
Hadn't really thought about that but it makes sense. Maybe I'll post a few shots myself as I know we've seen some genuine G-Artwork on a few levels where the patters being made can just get beautiful. Maybe that should be another contest - most beautiful path snap shot.
So the Mystery Alliance streak has been broken. Rosetta North had the top score for the 26th with a combined score of 659,026 http://www.somagames.com/ARC/RosettaNorth/ Top contractor goes to a new arrival, Vulpes Formidonis who tore it up with 642,096 http://www.somagames.com/ARC/contractor_profile.php?contractor_id=38 W00t!
I'm hoping to represent Alinas soon - perhaps they will turn out to be a positive farming influence. No cultists or anything. Has anyone been able to replicate my lockup problem? I pm'd my email and the write-up of the issue but never heard from anyone.
Good ol' Alinas - Here's a little bit from our World Bible about their PCK... "Anne Selket is a stunningly attractive woman who is widely regarded as the sexiest woman alive. She is also the 148th woman to hold the title of High Priestess in Ptahs oldest religion. In her own sphere of influence, she is regarded as a kind of living goddess in the same way as ancient pharaohs were revered, though the Selket line is distinctly matriarchal with only two males holding the office in 3000 years of history, and they were known as High Consorts." Also...the upcoming graphic novel will focus primarily on what's going on at the Alinas base on bast so you can learn more about them there as well. ...so much to tell, so litlte time...
That is awesome! You have also completely sold me on the graphic novel with that little teaser alone.
So we saw a marked increase in traffic over the weekend. Looks like a lot of people are honing their skills for the contest. Saturday's high score went to Raptor with 247,813 points: View Raptor's operation history ANd Raptor ALSO took Sunday's high score with 135,375. W00t! With those score it's no surprise that Mystery Alliance, Raptor's employer, also took first place on both days. http://www.somagames.com/ARC/MysteryAlliance/
Woah! Those scores are NOTHING compared to what I'll get later....I was just finishing the campaign...not even trying for a one rocket win(which i can get in lvls 1-20 so far )
