That's fine, but to come on and say the graphics are terrible is something else. And I think it's unfair to state that - really high quality textures and models requires an expensive team of artists and engineers, something Gameloft or EA can afford but not indie developers. The majority of 3D games on iOS are going to have older looking graphics because the hardware simply can't do high resolution looking content w/o serious optimizations. This is particularly true for MMOs that will need to account for a large number of characters on screen. Expecting all MMOs to have the quality graphics of Order & Chaos is unrealistic.
I think Crescent Moon Games may have picked this up for an overhaul. That's just speculation based on Josh's latest Tweet: "Pretty big announcement for Crescent Moon, next week-ish, I think. Another very cool game we picked up and are 'playing with' " My guess would have to be that this is the game he's talking about.
Does anyone know if beta is currently available? And if so, how should we go about signing up for it? Thanks.
They offered a signup for beta testing ages ago. But i don't know if they've sent out the copies of the beta yet.
I hope so. This is starting to be Crescent Moon's niche... "Hey devs! Does your current iOS game look like a$$? For a small percentage of the profits we can overhaul those lame game graphics to make it look sweet and help you earn MO' MONEY, MO' MONEY, MO' MONEY!" (If you don't get the mo' money reference, you're too young - wouldn't surprise me to find out CM operates out of the back of a truck in Brooklyn...) It's like a dev house for other developers to use to help ensure their games don't suck too bad.
Just a quick update, we are still working away, here's few updated pics - we are focussing on game balance right now having added in lots of new weapons and armour.
