Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #8 Brightsiderus, Jul 18, 2018 So... why it’s not available in Russia? psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #9 psj3809, Jul 18, 2018 Had a quick go. Love the graphics and plays well. Would love a joystick instead of tap to move though. So far so good though. Looking forward to playing this one more idislikejordan Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2018 78 24 8 #10 idislikejordan, Jul 18, 2018 Seriously, BimbleBorn is great. Put about 30 minutes into it with a video, and my initial confusion as to what was going on slowly saw what the game actually was and I am so, so, so very impressed. Great work dev.

Proper localization was on my todo list from the start, hopefully if there is enough interest it can be added in the future. For now I am focusing on the first update, after helping the monks summon the dragon you want to ride it, right?

Now this next bit might just be a dream but I think I shared your video with Raph Koster (man is a legend in game design) and he watched it and replied - https://twitter.com/raphkoster/status/1019683082545213440 RedThumb Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2016 84 7 8 #16 RedThumb, Jul 19, 2018 So it's only tap to move, no joystick? Not for me then right now, but maybe if it will be added later. MattCoding Active Member May 17, 2018 32 20 8 #17 MattCoding, Jul 19, 2018 You can tap things to walk over to them or interact with them. You can also drag your finger around the scene to move without having to keep tapping. No MFi controller support yet, but it is something I am keen to try out. Out of interest which controller have you got? RedThumb likes this. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 703 113 #18 anthony78, Jul 20, 2018 Believe he is asking for a virtual joystick. I’d also like that myself. See at least one other post asking for it as well. MattCoding and RedThumb like this. RedThumb Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2016 84 7 8 #19 RedThumb, Jul 20, 2018 Hi Matt, anthony78 is correct, I meant virtual joystick, my bad. I really hate tap to go somewhere, or even hold to move. Virtual joystick would be much appreciated. MattCoding Active Member May 17, 2018 32 20 8 #20 MattCoding, Jul 21, 2018 Ok, understood. I will look into adding optional virtual joystick and action button as well as MFi controller support, I think code wise both are basically the same thing. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
