About LordShad0wz You cannot leave a review, I gave you a promo-code, you must buy the game to leave a review. To everyone else thinking me a fraud and a liar, stop ok. LordShad0wz has downloaded the game (free) WAY before I figured out what marketing was and forums and Youtube and everything else, he downloaded the game with a promo-code way before I ever saw him here, again. Sure he might be a senior, but that doesnt mean that I am wrong and everything he says is a 100% correct and I must be banished lol, please think before posting. Also the lite version is being made to show people what the game is and what to expect. Please wait.
He posted an iTunes receipt showing he paid for it what more do you want as proof? I'd not normal join in on a topic as crazy as this but I felt I must say something to defend lordshadowz
I just finished hitting send on the review. I included everything up until this point and left a 1 star rating with do not buy. So it should be there by tomorrow morning. Let's see what you say then lol. You just keep lying and lying. I don't even understand why. All you had to do was say ok let me fix the controls. Like a normal dev would do. But instead you accuse me of crazy stuff and then double and triple down on it even when I show proof. Everyone here knows me. I might be a pain in the butt sometimes with a head full of steam but I care about this site and I care about the good developers we have here. You aren't one of them. I hope an admin reads all of this and takes care of you. Billy
I was going to download as I love supporting devs, but the idiocracy of you trying to defend your actions is just plain absurd, especially when LordShadowz posted his receipt. Therefore, I will not support you with paid or even "lite" version. I for one don't always agree with Lordz reviews, but he is well respected and applaud him for his time and dedication for iOS devs. . Maybe you should look into effective communication to better yourself as a person.
I think the drama going on in this thread is probably more fun than the game this thread is for lol But clearly, English is not this guy's first language. I think there may have been some things lost in translation here which have ruffled his feathers. Or he's just blind lol
I'm pretty sure you knew what marketing and forums and YouTube and everything was before all this. Just as an example, your Facebook profile image was updated in August. You also have 8 apps/games published, the first one, One Dodge Man, from the 8th June. Most free, except Evil War. I'm thinking before posting. What I really think is that you believe we're all dumb around here. We might have funny and/or peculiar nicknames, but I can assure you we aren't dumb. Anyway, I don't think it's worth losing more time with this. EDIT: And mods moved all off topic posts to an independent thread
I don't know what happened with this whole situation, I'd love for the dev to explain further. However, I will say from experience I've seen on multiple occasions people impersonating some of the more popular members of toucharcade in order to solicit codes from developers. They'll email or tweet them saying if they get a code they'll leave impressions on the forum and help create buzz, etc. So it's possible that's what happened here, but like I said, I'd love to hear some further explanation.
Final Truth Here is the truth: Before I started posting to forums and sharing the game like this, I was sending it to review sites and youtubers with the promo codes included both for iOS and android for them to review or make playthrough, this was after few days of release, of all the youtubers/reviewers one did actually go online, I was happy to see someone playing the game, expecting an e-mail telling me of the review or playthrough, but individual didn't play much so thats out of the window. Here is the first and last time LordShad0wz went online on Evil War, on the 29/12/2016, and my post to this forum was on the 1/1/2017 (images below), this individual did not play the game for any time worth considering playing and is on here saying that I have made a shooter where the SHOOTING doesn't work...seriously people. The images below record this individuals activity: I didn't wanna have to waste my time on debunking this individual but it seems it's imperative that I do! Here: As you can see, I joined 2017 and posted on 01/01/2017, he didn't reply to me all the time in between time and suddenly when I managed to get through to people, he decides to share his so LOVING and caring opinion about my game, is he a fan? did he play? No. Game Center image of last LordShad0wz Active, the date, he was active on Thursday, there hasn't been a Thursday in 2017, so its 2016s Thursday, a few days later I discovered forums. The release dates of my Game and LordShad0wz caring message can be found below. Do the math, people. He played the game before anyone knew about it, just when I was sharing my promo-codes all over the place (my fault (facepalm)), then just when I managed to find a way to get through to people about me new game, he decides to post a reply telling everyone that its shooting mechanism is junk (apple didnt notice it, how could this be? they did reject me but for different reasons, i fixed the reasons and the game was published, such a game breaking issue would of been mentioned, trust me, they test on all devices the game supports and they test it well!), that's fine if it was true (would of fixed it, on my iPhone 4 the lag lol the game still works in terms of control and everything only lag issue) but the game has no such game breaking issues. where did he get this idea to frame my game? from the preview on app-store, it was a terrible preview, because I don't have an iphone above 4 and its very laggy, the game is optimised for iphone 6 and up, so on unity trying to control the character to shoot with the iphone 4 was almost impossible since difference between the devices and speed, if i had an iphone 6 controlling the character on unity then it would be smooth, sadly i dont got no iphone above 4 and cracked screen lol, ofcourse my foolish fault for not being professional enough and the trailer was terrible too, both removed and updated, sure this took a little time proving but it has to be done. (ofcourse when "Boardumb" decided to fix the forum he somehow changed the time ?!? idk how thats possible, but what ever, the truth is above and my post was on the 1/1/2017 there
I didn't change the time. Your game released on the 22nd of December. I made the thread for it on the 28th, the day you emailed us about it. I thought it looked interesting so made a thread for it as I typically do. When you made your thread on the 1st I merged it into the thread that I had already made, because we only allow one thread per game. That's all. Lordshadowz even stated on the 29th, a Thursday, that he intended to buy the game that day if nobody else did first. So I'm not really sure what your explanation is proving. Anyway, seems like it could be a pretty neat game, but you're kind of sabotaging yourself here so far. Instead of accusing people of things or thinking there's some sort of foul play going on, I'd take any and all feedback to heart and try to get a meaningful discussion going with those who are playing your game.
Merged threads... Ah ok, seems interesting this took place, still the truth is above. I am not a selfish developer that accuses people for judging my game, soon a lite version will be released to truly see what the game is like. This is already way far gone than it should be, but still he isnt a player thats complaining but an individual taking advantage of my mistake. I just wanna make games and see reviews and such, not all of this. It already seems many hate me for talking my thoughs...So your saying that you published my game here and LordShad0wz had actual issues with the controller? these are very confusing, I can only know when the lite version is released. Thank you, have good day.
Which truth, man? You are way out of line accusing him and your responses are making it even worse. I really hope it is a misunderstanding, maybe due to language issues, but I would suggest an apology.
Only time will tell It could be that I mistaken LordShad0wz for someone trying to take advantage of my mistake...If thats the case then he needs to upload a video telling me what the issue is and showing me what happens otherwise there is nothing I can do about "you can aim", there has never been an issue like that, Ill see on the lite version.
Is LordShad0wz' gamecenter name even "Goldilocks"? Like Jared said, I think there's a decent chance this dude was hoodwinked by someone pretending to be LordShad0wz to get a free promocode.
Need to know the truth, Lordshad0wz needs to record the issue with his hands in the video, only then can I tell what is causing it, meanwhile the lite version may shed some light on the situation "is the game working or not"
As I said, there are many good people here willing to help devs. From your screenshots, you're not on iOS 10, because you have Game Center app. Maybe the control issues have to do with the iOS version. I think LordShad0wz is on iOS 10, and another player had issues too. Hope that helps.
Goldilocks is the name of the achievement. @dev: Lordshadowz' comment was about not being able to change the direction of shooting while moving. I've only played a few times myself but I'm experiencing the same issue. I will be shooting to the right, holding the joystick to the right, and when enemies approach from the left I move the joystick to the left but I continue firing to the right. I've died every time I've played because of this. I definitely think there's a bug in the release version.
