RogueRocket: the only time I'm able to see my scores in the GC's leaderboards is when I leave the game (but didn't kill the process) and log in to GC through the app (GC icon). Anyway, the moment I quit the game the score disappears again (there are scores below 100K only) Is it possible this has something to do with Trophies disappearing as well after quiting the game? I don't mind the leaderboards that much even though it's a nice way to compare the scores with others.
Hi. No, they're separate things. We identified the trophy issue, it will require a new app update unfortunately. An oversight during qa testing. Sorry about that. I would like to submit an update this coming week, and then it has to make it through Apples submission process I will look into the game center issue but game enter scores are stored by apple after I send them the score so it may be out of my control.
It's great to hear you already identified the trophy room issue. Btw, do we have to find those trophies again after the fix is implemented or is it just display issue as you mentioned earlier? And just out of curiosity, according to your previous post right after TA review, is the pricing of LOST chapter gonna change in this fix as well? As I said, I'm just curious
Hi. Yes you will have to go back and discover them again (so sorry!). it is a save game issue. =( YES the goal is that this version will change the Lost Levels to be unlockable by getting enough piggy banks. Haven't decided how many yet.
OK, and what about game progress? Are we going to loose all the piggy banks and best times for each stage as well or are those safe? This is amazing! In matter of "how many", if it's open for discussion, I'd suggest the number around, let's say, 250? I wouldn't go higher than 300 though. I'm not sure how difficult are later stages yet, I'm just finishing 2nd chapter, but I already unlocked chapter 4 because I'm not moving forward until I've got all 3 piggy banks for each stage. LOST chapter supposed to be a bonus, so if you want to make it a challenge I wouldn't worry to go as high as 275-300 to unlock. But it's your choice of course. Anyway, it's just awesome to see the implementation of these changes from the front row and, sort of, to be a part of it Keep up a great work!
Game progress will be retained, complete w/ piggy banks and best times. We will be sure to test updating and hopefully will avoid any problems. Problem is limited to trophy case. Thanks for the suggestion, we'll work out the best number. We want to be connected to our audience, so especially this early on, we want to reward our followers by showing we take their feedback seriously!
There's an achievement "Don't Get Dizzy" (Beat Mission 4-24 with all Piggy Banks by only making 7 turntable changes). I can do it with 4 only, but this achievement is still locked. I tried to do it with exactly 7, just in case, but still nothing. Is it a bug?
hm. Not aware of a problem here, but I will verify. I will add it to the list of things to look into for this next version. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
This appears to be a problem with the achievement description, looking at how it works, it looks like it should read: "Beat Mission 4-24 with all Piggy Banks by only making 3 turntable changes" Sorry about that, we'll get that adjusted.
Oh, ok. 3 turntable changes are beyond my capabilities at the moment I'll get back to it later than. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get all three piggy banks from 4-25 so I can move forward to the last chapter. And I just reached 1 million points score, it's just a shame I can't compare that to others because those leaderboards are stuck at 99K.
oop. Try again on the 99k points thing. it was pegged at 100k for some reason! Man you guys are tearing through the game. =)
Oh, leaderboards are finally working correctly, did you do that? Well, I just finished 4th chapter with all piggy banks, one more to go. I just love this game! 4th chapter is my favorite so far, I'll gladly go back later to improve my scores there.
Grateful you love it so much. =) I changed the leaderboards score limit. It was set incorrectly on the service side. BTW, if you haven't already done us the favor, rating us on the store would be super appreciated. While we're enjoying solid press reviews, the game hasn't gotten many player reviews on the app store, which is important for our App Store position. thanks!
Hi guys. Can I interest any of you to participate in Gunpowder's next version Beta? The number of changes is small, but the big one is unlocking of Lost Levels with enough pigs rather than IAP, and fix for saving trophies. If you're interested, reply here and I'll send you a private message for details. It would be through Apple Testflight Beta. Thanks!
Is anyone having Trophies problem? Each time I exit the game the trophies I collected get erased.I'm playing on iPad3.
Aerys, I'd understand you don't want to read the whole thread if there were tens of pages, but this is a new game and the whole thread contains of 6 pages only. If you read that, you'd know this is a known issue and fix is already on its way. Hell, you don't even have to read those few pages, it's mentioned by the developer right above your post! People are so lazy these days :-/
As long as you can guarantee I'm not gonna lose my progress, than sure, count me in. In any other case I'd backup my progress but the 3rd party app I'm using is currently not compatible with latest iOS 8.3 which was released yesterday (and I already updated my devices) so I need to be sure I'm not gonna lose my savegame. It's just 6 levels to go to fully beat the available content, so yeah. If it's safe to overwrite my current version with incoming beta, I'm in. Just send me details through PM. BTW: I'm still pissed the game's not nominated for a GOTW for some unknown reason (that's not true, I know why. It's because of bunch of free to play crap titles released the same week and people are just cheap these days to appreciate the premium content). The game got 4,5/5 from TA in its review and it's still not nominated. I just don't get it. Anyway, I'd be more than happy to help with the Beta. It's the least I can do.
Well, i can't 100% guarantee it won't go wrong, but it shouldn't go wrong! haha That's the whole point of the beta, but if you're freaked out about losing progress I understand. Have you tried iExplorer (for mac) ? There is (or was?) a free version and I think it still works with iOS 8 Are you referring to TA GOTW or on App Store GOTW? Either way, we've done everything we know to do to get anybody's attention. We'll keep engaging with our players however we can, and are open to any other ideas. I was hoping for an Apple feature but that's totally up to their editorial staff who operate behind a shroud of mystery, even for the biggest developer/publishers. I've heard they really want to see more premium content, so this is it! =)
Yeah, it's ok. The program I'm using for backup was just updated to be fully compatible with iOS 8.3 and works like a charm, so I made a backup of my progress and if anything goes wrong with the beta version I can still go back with the current one. If you're still interested, just hit me with the details through PM so I can give it a try. About GOTW. I was talking about TA's GOTW but it goes for App Store's one as well. I appreciate the premium content being pointed out by Apple with "Pay once & Play" category. And I'm pretty sure the reason it's not there at the moment is that unfortunate IAP for LOST chapter. Anyway, let's hope it's gonna get some recognition after incoming update, this game deserves it for sure! Fingers crossed.
