I believe its 4.1 - you need to have at least Game Center - as all of your player stats are tracked that way.
We don't want to run the risk of not having enough concurrent players online to be able to find a game when you feel like playing, so what better way of making that happen than to make the game free. We of course are offering some IAP for players who don't want to grind it out to earn new items. We also are planning some future content that may be purchase to unlock in game. The more players and people we have purchasing points in game will increase our incentive to keep the game free and update regularly....tell your friends!
Is it gonna be free forever, or will the price eventually go up? Just curious, as it doesn't really matter to me. I will be picking this up tomorrow at midnight
That really depends on the community support for the game. I would love to keep the game free forever, we just really need to hit the Top 10 of the free games list and stay there for awhile.
Have you guys thought about a trailer for the game? I don''t believe that I have seen one yet. I know there is plenty of hands on videos though, but I think you need a video promoting the online multiplayer aspect, a hands on video is not quite the same. I'm sure there is enough material already recorded form the multiple videos already made where you could come up with a 30-60 second montage of kills and highlights from gameplay.
@V Kuolema No, this is specifically to help prevent hackers from being able to easily change their rank and to hopefully encourage as much online play as possible. @ninjackid The game will technically run on any device capable of running os 4.1 or greater, however I would not suggest attempting to play on a 2nd gen phone or ipod, the framerate is pretty much unplayable with more than 3 players. @TanTan New trailer is already in the works for launch.
You have been on the main page of TouchArcade multiple times. We need some YouTube videos. Twitter updates and FaceBook updates. Get people pumped! Advertise like crazy before it comes out.
Not long to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know if this is downloaded from the NZ app store - as its free and then redownload once it becomes available in the UK - whether the game save will transfer ie stats etc - does gamecenter store this info? cheers for anyone that knows
even though i'd be using two diff accounts? NZ appstore one and UK appstore how about if i downloaded it off NZ store, would i get updates through the UK appstore account for that app? suppose ill just have to try tomo and see and if worst comes to worst ill just have to redownload it at midnight and start from 0 stats lol
do the saves save on the server or on the client. I hate when saves for online games save on the client, because then hackers on jailbroken devices alter their save data to cheat, also if I delete the app I lose all of my progress.
No, you'd have to log back into the NZ store, (your UK account doesn't know you own the game) My advice (if your going to do that) is play it for awhile and then at midnight delete it and reinstall the local version. It's free so your not hurting yourself and your progress should be saved in GameCenter. (should be) Worse case scenario, you get the practice and loose a few hours progress.
