I guess based on the front page TA article, this will be a Freeverse/Ngmoco title? Looks very cool but I hope it is not exclusive to the iPad.
It runs on both iPad and iPhone. Sorry guys, we don't need any more beta testers... the game is finished! But thanks for the interest. See you on the App Store pretty soon... Tim
Following info grabbed from CastleCraft's forum, http://castlecraftforums.com/discussion/19/how-is-this-free/#Item_3 Just found out CastleCraft will be subscription based. However, the app and a base portion of the game will be free. What does a subscription allow you to do? Upgrade buildings--and maybe other things too. You can still build the level 1 buildings as long as standard requirements are met, like having been researched. Subscription price points? $4.99 for 1 Month $5.99 for 3 Months $12.99 for 1 Year Food for thought.
I'm very interested in this getting released as well, but I'm a bit bummed to see how pricey the subscription fees are. I wish this followed a more freemium-style model like God Finger or We Rule. It does look like it could turn out to be an amazing game though. Only time will tell I guess.
