I've got an iPhone 6+ that plays everything on the App Store perfectly (with 15 gigs of free space to boot on a 120 gig HD), yet DR2 states that I can't run the extra graphics options. What exactly are the requirements for the full experience? I'll admit feeling a bit emasculated when I saw that notice, so I just want to make sure that's not an error or a bug.
I'm sorry about that. The requirements are a device with more than 1gb of ram. The truth is that the game will run great on an iPhone 6 and 6+ with full settings but the ram would cause somewhat frequent crashes. The 6 and 6+ are unusual devices in that they have great processing power but limited ram. It puts devs in odd positions in terms of catering to those devices. Though, to be honest, the differences in graphic options aren't that noticeable on a phone screen so you're not missing much. It'seems more noticeable on an iPad with 1gb of ram like my iPad air 1.
Not Saving?!?! I've progressed to stage 7 and when I finished the campaign or quick battle and won the game, but the status is not updated and the prize disappeared even though I assigned it to one of the demon. I have played over and over stage 7 on my IPad Pro and iPad mini, but after winning the stage, no updates?!?!?! Please help! Love this game but don't want to play the same stage over and over...
That's really odd. When the game finishes and you get the reward, you do see either a "Continue On" or "Return to Camp" button? If so, which option do you choose? Also, does the game crash at all when the level finishes or anything like that? If you play a quick battle, does the experience points and items that you obtain get saved? I took a quick look and the settings that should move progress to level 8 are set up. However, I'll do some more testing tonight and figure out the issue.
Yes, when the game finish and I get reward and assigned it to demon. I do see either Continue On or Return which I've tried both options without any crashes, but when I come back to the saved game, reward is gone and the status (which some demon progressed to next level 4) returns to level 3 before the game was won. Quick battle is the same as well behavior as well once it's won with reward, but coming back the status goes back to previously. I've tried it 2 games on my IPad Pro 12.9", and 2 games on my iPad Mini with same results. I'm stuck in stage 7 and can't move ahead...
That is really strange. If it's happening both for campaign level 7 and all quick battles, then it means that it's not related to level 7. It sounds as if icloud synch isn't saving your data. Have you made any changes to your icloud settings recently?
Nope, ever since I started the game, no changes to the iCloud configuration. I would hate to restart the game from stage 1... Even though I loved playing this game.
You shouldn't have to since icloud will have saved your progress automatically. Can you try deleting the game and re-installing it? Your progress will be kept and refreshed when you re-install from icloud. Also, how much space do you have left on your devices?
I just tried deleting and installing the game on my iPad Pro which have more than 10gig free of space. Played the quick battle and won the battle. Got the reward. When I go back looks like the reward is there. I can't tell by the stats because all the players during this quick battle didn't up their level of experience. Seems like it's working, and let me try the campaign and hopefully it will save my stats. Thanks for quick responses!!! I still love this game!!! Just played the campaign for 7 and the progress saved!!! Yay! The re-installed worked! Thanks! TT
That's great ... glad it worked out. I have to say I'm curious why the issue occurred in the first place. I suspect something to do with icloud. Regarding next updates, I will have one some time in the next 2 weeks for this game. I'm going to add some new boss characters that you can play as once you finish the campaign. Also, going to add a new icon and some other minor tweaks.
I know this might be a big request but any chance of multi-player online play for next version? It might be a huge change to dev this game. Thanks again and this is one of my fav game. Edited: The synch issue came up again. I also deleted the app from my IPad mini 2 and reinstalled. Reloaded the game on mini, first game updated the stats and the reward but 2nd game reverted back to previously version in mini and didn't update the stats and reward. Looks like for now, I won't play this game on the mini. Thought I let you know about the bug in iPad mini.
Sorry for the late reply. Was travelling in the US last week for work. I was in the city of Schenectady in New York state. I wish I could add multiplayer but it isn't likely any time soon. I am completely ignorant of how to do a multiplayer game and I suspect I would have to completely overhaul the code base. I think the only way to do it would be if I could hire a professional coder and that won't happen until I get a lot more games out and build up the business a lot more. hmmm ... that's interesting. I wonder if running it on two different devices simultaneously doesn't work as well as it should. I'll try to do some testing on my side with two devices and see if I can figure out the issue.
Probably in the next update. I have to admit though, it's a little frustrating as I get support emails from users on jailbroken OS' for Demon's Rise 1 and it's just impossible for me to help them in any way. Once you jail break the OS, there's no way to ensure consistent user experience.
Why would they need support on jail break?!?! I would think that they are stealing from you to get apps and games for free and not pay for your work?!?! Sorry to be on the soap box, but the developers need to get paid for their apps and games. I just don't like F2P but that's just me!
Jailbreaking should not affect the way the game works, iOS version and the way they installed the app can. Either those people have an issue with a specific version of iOS, either they used a jailbreak tweak to pirate your app. Ive been jailbroken on my phones since my iPhone 4 and I never got any issues that are different than others, because I dont use my jailbreak to pirate and steal developpers hard work. #
Yeah, I don't really care if some one is pirating the game. The truth is, someone who jailbreaks an OS to pirate games probably wouldn't have purchased the game anyway. The problem is that it can get very confusing when they then contact me with some "bugs" that I can't reproduce and no one else has reported. I've had 3 occasions for Demon's Rise 1 where I wasted time chasing a supposed bug that ended up being due to a jailbroken OS issue. It's just a huge waste of time from my side. Anyway, I will look into it for the next update. I am actually running an optimization algorithm with the newest version of Unity (GPU Instancing) that will reduce draw calls on newer iOS devices. If that requires a later OS, then I may not lower the requirement. Anyway, onto other things. I'm preparing the next update to Demon's Rise 2 and it will feature some additional boss characters like the black dragon, void reaper, and zombie giant. They will become "unlocked" for players to use once they finish the campaign. I'm also adding a cool new icon. Here is the current WIP from the artist I'm using: Icon tweaked 2 by Rajpreet Dhillon, on Flickr The artist is going to add a little more highlights on the armour and such but pretty close to final. Let me know what you think.
I'm not too crazy about the new icon. Looks a bit like Templar Battleforces icon, which I'm also not keen on. Would much rather see a face. #
