The missing manual has now been updated! Sorry it's taken this long to get to it. Let me know if there's anything that I missed or you guys are still curious about. http://cs54.com/galactic-nemesis-the-missing-manual/ Also, here is a little teaser of a new alien for Electric Steel. He's welcomed into the Galactic Nemesis Alien family, and now he must be annihilated!
The updated manual is much better, thanks! I especially appreciate the explanation about what effect the endurance challenge has on your score. Awesome. The new aliens for Electric Steel couldn't look any cooler! Great job! I am so hoping the story mode comes to fruition sometime in the future!
No problem! I'll try and always keep that updated. I'm also hoping that the story mode / mission mode can be built. I was thinking regardless of how this version does in the store, I'll definitely make it, it's just a matter of how much time it will take. Thinking about the possibilities with how far I might be able to take the gameplay gives me a great sense of joy. - Charlie
So glad you're going to continue working on this no matter what happens with the sales/charts/reviews... Man, I can see great things happening with the added story/mission modes. I'm still having a blast with the core game weeks after release. There's something so rewarding about getting a little higher score and improving. I'm really starting to get a handle on the enemy/bullet patterns. So Charlie, as much as I don't want you to beat my score, don't you think it's about time you tried to set a score record?
HAHA! Even tho me attaining the high score could be done with great ease, seeing as how my reflexes are like that of your finest thoroughbred sea turtle, my time is best spent right now making sure you all have more levels to play. Once I enter this race, ya'll better watch out tho!
Charlie, i just wanted to let you know that Galactic Nemesis has officially taken full-time residency on my iPod Touch along side of a handful of other elite games. I really like the design of those new aliens for Electric Steel. Mind you it will probably take me some time before i actually make it that far. but it is very nice to see that more awesome content is on the way.
Thanks for that!!! I really appreciate hearing folks enjoying the game. Good motivator. I'm going to have some background music samples coming up and would love for you and everyone to give some feedback. Trying to get a good balance of pumped up but not annoying. (Don't worry AK, the option to turn it off will be there still).
Ha! Who knows, I may like it so much I'll leave the music on! Congratulations on the TA review. Thank you Shaun Musgrave!!!
Congratulations Charlie! I hope this gives Galactic Nemesis a good jolt with regards to downloads and active players. I'm psyched that Shaun was the reviewer too. Woohoo!!
Thanks Paul!! If anyone is interested, I'll share some #s this week. I have not seen a MASSIVE spike in downloads, but perhaps that is because Galactic was one of the "Hot Games" the past two weeks, in part from of all you guys (and one girl ) here in this forum! To that, I'm grateful. Thank you all.
Any crashes? Hey Guys, I wanted to see if anyone has experienced any crashes while playing Galactic Nemesis? During testing, crash rates were at 0% with 10 or so testers, but now that there are about 1000 players, it appears we're at about 5%. The crashes coming in are very odd and the logs don't make a lot of sense. I'm wondering if they are due more to the app clearing itself in the background or if there are any legit crashes. I've asked other friends who have been playing for a while and not one has ever experienced a crash (outside of the one Fauxlina reported and has since been fixed). Thanks for any feedback! - Charlie
Push Notifications One thing I wanted to put to the forum for feedback.. I'm considering doing my first "Push" notification for galactic nemesis. Reason being is that if people go back to play the app, I've learned it actually has a positive impact on store rankings, thats probably why other games spam you so much. Forgive me if you see one, I promise they won't be coming daily, or even weekly, perhaps only monthly. Any thoughts? - Charlie
I haven't seen any crashes and push notifications are fine idea. Just took back #1 on TL this morning! AKD and I are on a seesaw...
No crashes here. I can even put my phone in sleep mode for hours and it's still there when I come back. iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2 > No other apps open & 2.9 GB free space. Paul, this is getting crazy. We've got to be reaching the high score threshold for TL. Who will get there first? Great job man! What device/OS are you using? As for push notifications, I'll have to think more on that one. Like a clever way to do it without turning people off. I'll definitely post thoughts on that and other ideas as they come to mind. I'm gonna keep a note pad with me when I play from now on, because I'll have an idea and it's gone by the time the game's over.
I think we are very close. If I had to guess, I'd say TL tops out around 465,000? I pushed 9-12 from 90K to 92K but I also didn't finish level 12 on that run and my power was fairly low during the last few waves. I also have not perfected 5-8 and I don't even want to think about trying to best my endurance run. I'm still on an ipad3 with 7.1.2.
Yeah, those endurance challenges take a lot out of me! Usually take a little break after every group of levels. @Charlie - reading Paul's post that I just quoted, I thought of a nice feature you could add (if possible) to Game Center. It would be great to be able to compare scores for each individual level set (TL lvls 1-4, SA lvls 5-8) via Game Center to know where you can improve on your own scores.
I've thought about the individual scoreboards, I don't think it would be too hard to add subsets of scoring. I originally didn't do that so you wouldn't be flooded with scoreboards but seeing how competitive you guys are it's another good metric for sure. I also had mixed feelings about game center achievements, do you guys use them, want them? I've only seen 1 request for them so that's another feature I'm considering. One feature that may make it into a later version (probably not the next) is a scoreboard you can see in-game vs having to launch game center. I need to find a good place for it and it takes lot of testing since game center is always up & down. :/ - Charlie
I'm guessing that "one request" was from me. Lol. I always love earning achievements, but it's certainly not necessary. Having said that, if it's not hard to do then I'm all for it. 1000 total please :O Although, you might want to wait to use all the points for that possible story mode. The in-game scoreboard would be excellent, as would the subsets for scoring. Thanks for considering this!
HA! Nope, actually not you. Someone that left a great review G-Dog10. I guess that makes 2 who want achievements!!
