How about the best of all worlds (if this is possible). You could have this free version with $1 map DLCs but then also release a Harbor Master HD Premium that will start off with at least 5 maps as well as entitle you to all future maps as free upgrades for $5. I would gladly pay $5 for this game but I'd need a few maps in it and if I did cough up $5 for it, I'm hoping I'm considered a full owner and not required to keep paying for new maps released in the future. The original Harbor Master's $1 for an endless stream of free maps isn't viable, I fully concede that, but I'm just looking for a higher cost option that entitles me to free upgrades for the life of the game's development.
That's good game here so I like it......... there are many game so i think that is very attractive nice and interested to me...... Force Factor Fat Burning Furnace
Cool, thanks for your thoughts. We're trying to figure this out now. We'd also like to have a separate premium option with ~5 levels, but that means we'd need 5 levels to start with. Given that it takes us about 2-3 weeks to make a level, that's 2-3 months to get an update out, with no idea if anyone would buy it. So we'll probably start with one-level updates, and if people are actually buying them, we may think about introducing a premium priced alternative. Thanks again!
Yeah, I kind of figured that right as I was writing it...as much as I'd prefer the premium option I want some more maps yesterday and could never wait for you guys to properly make some 5 quality maps first! Actually, I can't deny that the individual levels are a great marketing tool in that you'll be able to use the various map pack sales as your own informal poll to find out what your public is clamoring for. While here I just want to put in my $0.02 that while thematic re-skins of Pocket God and the like are cute, I hope they take a far back seat to new maps with cool new gameplay twists. Doodle Jump is a great game but I feel they've gotten themselves stuck in a rut churning out endless reskins with minimal gameplay twists via new platforms or items. Please focus on the substance over the flash!
thanks guys? any more recommandations? as far as i know, fare city is not ipad optimized, is it? which games are universal/hd optimized?
Doodle Sky HD is a great line drawing plane fighting. The diversity of missions is great, the ipad version is perhaps better suited to the game because it allows a large view of the area making movements and tactics more easy and interesting. Swipe Soccer is an interesting ipad soccer based on line drawing. The only grip I have is the goal management, position him constantly isn't cool. Steambirds as you probably already quoted through the article on the site, it seems quite interesting. Seems like Doodle Sky HD but turn based. Airport One I haven't yet played this ipad game but I read comments quite positive about it but it seems need some polishing on some points, updates will perhaps improve this. Edit: I also remember a tank battle line drawing game I was close to get but gave up because the author made many design with grinding in mind, which is a gameplay design I hate. Too bad because other than that the game was looking rather fun. I don't remember the name.
thanks guys - gonna check these out! tiptoe btw is a really fun game, enjoyed the few levels i played yet
Hi, glad you enjoyed our game! If you're interested, we're giving away Tiptop for free to all TA members, you just need to leave a few thoughts about the game here
According to the Dev's blog, he came across some problems of re-drawing the maps to suit the iPad's resolution, as the aspect ratio is different to the iPhone's. Teh game was pretty well balanced for the latter, so he didn't want to disrupt that. Having said that, I don't think that it would be a bid deal regarding playability with the 2x mode on iPad. Just won't be as pretty, but once you have 6+ taxi's at the same time, you're not going to give a damn!
