@laylio - I saw you pushed version 1.4 to Google for the Android version. Is this the build that will hit iOS next week?
Is it safe to assume Mighty Dungeons is coming this Thursday, April 4th? There's been no firm date announced, unless I missed something. Edit: Mighty Dungeons is not on NZ App Store (yet) so I assume it will not be coming this week...
Why not? I didn't see a thread for it so came here to check if a date was announced. Is the delay for marketing purposes? I am losing interest in this fast. Why sit on an approved game for so long?
I saw a post on MD's Twitter feed on Monday from Crescent Moon Games that said it would be out next week. I assume this means the 11th. That makes me a saaaaad panda.
I am bummed too. I am assuming because Crescent Moon has another game out THIS week. Stinks to put it off.
Actually it's not exactly right but close UDID identifies your device indeed, but i have no way of knowing who you are and stuff. Apple doesn't allow releasing games to devices like android does - for android I can just put a link on a server somewhere and people can download and play it, for iOS it is more complicated and an app cannot be distributed unless it has been released to the store or unless it is part of a beta testing program with a unique number of devices (99 per year unless you pay to extend). So you need the actual list of devices you will beta test the game with.
The release date is set to Thursday 11. One of the reason for the delay is that I pushed a major update to the game that is waiting approval (the 1.4.0 for android as mentioned in one of the posts above). Since I sent the game for approval to apple, I actually had time to fully improve the game mechanics and game balance. The update includes stuff like character progression, stats, achievements and specially better game balancing with restriction of items based on the character class. If I released the approved version now (or last week) people would have played for like 2 weeks and built up their character which would be downgraded when the update comes out next week... I made the mistake to do that on android and got slapped in the face by angry mobs So we are being extra careful with the iOS version Hopefully the new version will be approved on time for the 11th release or at worst 1-2 days later which should be okay as well (unlike 2 weeks). Sorry for the delay guys, I can feel your pain I don't like to wait for games myself, but no choice here, I wish I could get Apple's approval overnight for any update that I put up
I totally appreciate your candor and your prompt responses both here and via email! Really appreciate honesty. Guys this is the real deal.
That's why I hoped this was ready for this week, to many good games come out each week and there isn't time to buy and play them all Well there's nothing we can do if its in the games best interests to wait, I'd rather wait and play the game when it's finished correctly. Still sucks tho, that means it looks like I'm not spending any money this week.
I got access to an early build of Mighty Dungeons and it's really as good as it looks. There's a great board game feel to it and very smooth movement/UI that is easy to recommend. That's respectable to delay the release for game improvement. I am putting away my lynchmob torch and pitchfork. Yeah... me too; I can't wait for Kingturn (aka my most anticipated iOS release so far this year). Mighty Dungeons looks amazing but well... Kingturn; altogether is will be a legendary release week
rereading my previous comment, seems i was a little harsh. what i meant was that i have been following both games since they were announced , i was expecting this one to come out this week, since you said it was already approved a few days ago. Both games look great, but with a job, wife, and kid i get about one hour a day to game, so i must prioritize. ill still buy your game, but who knows how long it'll take for me to even open it. i have about 75 games on my ipad that still have the "new" banner on them... i totally agree no one wants a broken game, or to lose progress down the road, so i see why your waiting. anyway your game looks solid, and i'm really digging the boardgame aspect.
Cool! Glad you liked the early build! You should have received the email with the update as well Let me know what you think!
I have a space saved for this game, I can't wait to play it next week on my mini. I have been enjoying it for the most part on my nexus 7.
I can't even start saying how fun this game is, and how responsive the developer is as well. I've been playing this on my Android phone since day 1, and I'll probably get it for my iPad as well 11 can't come soon enough!
I really cannot wait for this awesome looking game to release. It looks epic. This and Kingturn also coming this week make it the best week for RPG in known memory IMO !
This definitely looks good, and I like it that laylio (the developer) is so responsive. Goes on my buylist.
