I don't know much about them, but there are a few other places that allow for beta testing like testflight does. It's possible that IOS8 won't make a difference. Do you want to know more about them?. Let me know and I'll dig up the links. The game looks great so far!!
Yea I'm attempting to research now but just submitting it and then testing using promo codes sounds like the most simple solution. I just need to make sure I don't lose my 2 week rankings boost. Glad you like how it's looking so far it's been a passion project for sure! I was very happy with the first adventure to fate game but since it was paid its audience was pretty limited. Since this will be free I'm expecting it to get into a lot more hands which is the goal. I honestly never thought I'd be making games let alone ones that people wanted to play so this is the best.
Hi, actually the Testflight app will automatically download and install the last compatible version by just logging into www.testflightapp.com using your browser. It worked for me last time.. Check this out: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=243081&page=4 Hope this helps!
So after doing a little research I think I am going to go the test flight route. I still think I have to submit a build and have it reviewed (which will take about 10 days) so I am going to try to submit the build next weekend. Really all I have left to do it level 24-28 content and the gem system (which unlocks classes, races, vault slots, certain crafting items). I'll keep the updates coming any other testers that would be willing to help post here and I'll add you to the list. I will also reward some Gems ,gold, names in credits maybe even an item or npc once the game is released for the testers.
I am sorry, it seems that what I said in previous post is no longer working. I just received invitation from other developer to test his app. I tried to open the link but I was told to install TestFlight first which requires iOS 8. Well, I guess I won't be able to test your app too. Sorry. And good luck with your beta test.
Lameness. Well I'll atleast try to get you an early copy via promo code and might soft launch. Why's everyone avoiding ios 8? Game wise made quite a bit of progess this weekend might even submit tomorrow for testflight so testing should be soon. Will spend the rest of the weekend balancing crafts and see where I am from there.
Doing some later stage combat and profession testing. Here is a screen of some of the new NPCs in the game. There will be about 20 new npcs, 100 new items, 14 new skills/spells and still thinking about adding the archer class if I have time.
Just about wrapped up testing the new crafting profession jeweler as well as the rogue up to level 30 (5 new levels of content). Here is a little preview of 1 of about 200 new crafting items. (One of the eng game jeweler crafts)
Will be submitting to test flight this weekend. for those that don't have ios 8 still might do soft launch testing as well. Balance has become complicated with the new crafting professions and skills. Testing leatherworking this weekend will post some pics later.
As you can see i didnt get the game updated to testflight but have been working on it nonstop. I spent the last week learning and adding IAP and video ads. I did my best to keep them optional but would love some input on what you guys think. So right now you will start with 3 classes 3 races and 4 professions. Like most games you gain gems which you unlock the rest with. With ATF you will earn them quit a bit easier. for example you will earn about 125-175 by the time you complete the game with 1 character. So with that in mind here is what I am "charging" to unlock the classes, races and professions free mage free knight free rogue 100 for cleric, druid and paladin free human free elf free dwarf 50 for gnome, orc, vampire free tailor free leatherworking free armorsmith free weaponsmith 50 jeweler, alchemist so as you can see after a few play throughs everything would be unlocked or I am setting the gem prices at the following $.99 for 100 $1.99 for 250 $5.99 for 1000 (can easily unlock everything in game and craft tons of stuff) you will use gems in some crafting recipes, unlock your vault and if you choose to replay a late game level without watching an ad. With that in mind I have setup video ads to be optional as well. You will have a random chance to watch an ad to get a stat boost before playing a level. also later in the game you can pay 1 gem or watch an ad to replay a previous level. So with this information does this seem fair? Last thing I want to do is be gouging but I have spent about 4-5 month on this version of the game so I need to recoup a bit haha. Would love some feedback so let me know. Also I will post later with whats left until launch I could do testflight still but im running short on time planning release for the 25th of dec.
So I got on a roll last night and got quite a bit done (all iap code and most design of it) so I decided to mess with testflight while I was on a roll. I got a build submitted so if anyone is still interesting in testing pm me your email (for itunes) and I'll add you to the testing group. Not sure how long it will take for apple to review the test build but we will see. Tldr. Post here or pm your itunes email and I'll send you an invite to beta test!
Beta testing is live now have about 15 testers so far and looking for about 5 more so if interested pm me your Apple ID email and I'll get you added to the list and invited asap. Looking to reward testers with ingame currency, name in credits, personal naming of items or npcs depending on level of feedback.
I submitted Adventure To Fate : Battle Arena early this morning!!! its been a very rough last few weeks but I am still hoping to release on Christmas day (hoping it goes through review before shutdown in 4 days). Anyways I am still finishing up my marketing stuff and will post videos etc once i finish them up. Thanks for all the support and thanks for the help testing. =)
Here is the App Preview I did for the app store. I will get a longer official trailer put together but in the mean time here is an idea of the new design and it shows off some of the new NPCs and skills. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Looks good, I forgot about this game after seeing the thread a while ago. Sounds like you've been very busy!
Yes very busy! What started out as just removing a few features and releasing it as free instead turned into adding a ton of new features! I am very happy with how this turned out and while on the surface it might look a lot like the paid version its much much deeper with features. Anyways here is the full video trailer Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Still on the fence on whether I will release on xmas (if it even gets approved by then shutdown is in like 2 days haha) But I will keep you guys updated. Feel free to ask any questions about the game or comment. I will be handing out promo codes for gems/gold.
Thanks! Glad to see you like the looks of it. Still waiting for approval from apple so looks like it won't be out on xmas. I'll keep you guys updated though and post some screenshots from time to time as well.
