Tapping an item once could highlight the slot and show bonuses. Then tapping it again to equip it. If you decide after the first tap, that you want to equip a different item, you just tap another one, and see where it fits, and which bonuses it's got. What's crucial, though, is that the item you tap is highlighted (could probably be done with the same kind of highlight, that is used for highlighting slots)
A few times when I've been killed I go to start a new game, I get to the choose your hero page and I cant select anything but continue. This just takes me to the opening screen with the Tutorial and Play buttons that just sends me back to the Choose Hero page. Quitting the program will correct it. Actually I think this happens every time I die.
This is a really strange issue, but I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for reporting. No new build tonight, but I did implement a tweaked rune/spell casting interface based on Qurao's mockup. It's loosely organized the same as before, but is less cluttered and fits the rest of the app's appearance. The main reason for the delay is Game Center; I want to make sure I get it right. I'm mostly finished implementing leaderboards (one per class and one overall board) but I need to add some code to handle network down, Game Center unsupported, etc... which takes a little more time. I'll also try and get some achievements in tomorrow's build, but that might take a little more time.
Sounds great. I just realized that you can keep panning outward from the map you're on, to the point where it'll take you a LONG time to go back. Maybe there should be a restriction on how far outside the map you can pan?
New build should be on its way in a few minutes. Still on the TODO list: achievements & improvement equipment screen, then I think it'll be time for release! Hopefully I'll be able to submit by next week. I'll be sure to keep the post updated. In other news, I put together ~10 minute video explaining the gameplay. If you're still confused about the gameplay, take a look. I also posted it (along with 3 brand new screenshots) in the original post. Enjoy! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Weird, I've installed the latest build from email received today but I don't see Game Center icon on the menu(iPhone 4 iOS4.1 here). In fact everything seems exactly same as the previous build, including the bug where you are stuck in equipment menu and 'continue' button sometimes brings you back to class selection screen. And Joey87's name still missing
I have the same issue as ying123. I don't think I got the newest build either. Tried twice from the email link.
The build in the email definitely isn't the newest one. Also, am I dumb for only just realizing (after watching the tutorial you uploaded to YouTube) that you can change your race?
Your character and job class you mean? In the first screen it shows which levels you have unlocked and what characters. If you click on one of them as you start a new game then you can play through with them.
I think he meant he did not realise tapping the race(dwarf by default, from what I remember) let you choose the other races.
Yeah race / job class - I used that a little interchangeably. It does start off with Dwarf Rogue as default but you can change to Warrior, Sorcerer, Priest and unlock others. It would be cool if the darkened out spaces you could get a preview of what to unlock. Like a dimmed out screen of the character and obviously no Continue button but maybe an indication there saying "Unlock." It might give players some kind of goal to play towards if they really like an upcoming character. But then again maybe you want to leave it as a surprise, I just thought it might be cool to see them all and have them just that much out of reach.
I believe I sent out a debug build instead of a release build, so it wouldn't be able to install on anyone's device. I'll send out an updated email now with a new build. Yeah, the race thing isn't entirely obvious. Putting an arrow was the best solution I was able to come up with, after trying a few others (like a button, which looked ugly). Due to the limited screen real estate, it was hard to find a good solution. There are a few screen 'loading tips' which hopefully hint that race can be changed, though some players might use "race" synonymously; I'm not sure.
