Is online multiplayer asynchronous? Hoping the multiplayer is asynchronous (cause that's how I roll). Can anyone confirm?
It is not. The gameplay in Bottom of the 9th is not suited for asynchronous play for several reasons. A primary aspect of gameplay is "the stare-down" where the state of mind between the players, including the timing of when they do things, is important. The game is relatively short - 10 minutes or less in total. There are no "turns" between players and the interactions go back and forth quickly.
Thanks! Problem is most of my friends don't have the patience to focus on one game for that long. I might pick it up for the single player though.
We don't have a timeline to announce yet but tablet & Steam support are the next major things we are working on.
This game is an absolute blast! Of course, Sentinels of the Multiverse is my favorite board game, so I know this comes from a top developer. The amazing part is that I don't even like baseball (hockey and lacrosse for me), but the game is still fun.
I'm not really into card or dice games but I'll tell you this... I could watch the app store trailer for this game like 20 times a day for the rest of my life. That little jingle is straight up fire. I'm going to go watch again right now.
Interestingly for a dice based game, there is enough strategy with pitch guessing and modifiers. Ive really enjoyed playing the last 24 hours... keep going back for more, so although there is luck as with any card or dice game, the pitch guess and modifiers add a level of controllable strategy. Thanks for the update on tablet - I knew Handelabra wouldnt let us down. This app is made with love and oozes quality #
The game is great This is a great game. Lots of fun! Unfortunately in the first game I played against a ranked opponent and they dropped out as I hit a home run to win the game and it defaulted to a no-decision. I hope there is a solution for this in the works. It was a bit of a let down for a first ranked match.
Thanks! We are working on some bug fixes for an update soon. In the next update if something like that happens you will earn the win.
Love it! I'm looking forward to seeing that. (It would be nice to have a log of people who I've played so I can try to avoid playing people who have played like that in the past, too.) It may also be nice to get a sense of how much activity there is for games. There have been a couple times I've tried to start a game now only to watch the "Waiting for opponent" screen sit there for longer than I have time to wait. But, really, this is a fun port. Thanks for doing it!
I was looking for more information on the game and came across a reddit post from the dev saying not only will we get all the extra content in a DLC but also the ability to play a full 9 inning game.....wow! Can dev here confirm this?
Yep, we are planning to add the ability to play multiple innings. One thing that needs to happen first is adding more players, since the base game doesn't come with enough to have two full teams.
Awesome! Thanks! Also regarding the numbers inside the baseball on the character cards.... Is that a ranking or just their jersey number? Another idea I think would be cool is a stats page...overall wins ...losses...etc.
