    Suggestion

    After playing some more matches yesterday with all of you guys, I wanted to suggest a way to spectate the match until the end, after you are eliminated.

    Yeah, we were thinking the exact same thing last night - We need a Discord server!

    So here it is: https://discord.gg/F6wzQea

    Great suggestions. We have been doing a little work with the aiming to make it a bit easier and will be shipping that out to testers soon to test out. We actually agonized a fair bit over what was best for visibility in the game and considered something akin to what you're referencing in Darkwood. In the end we decided to go with the vis tech you see with the building's ceilings and not much more for the sake of simplicity and approach-ability. Interested to see what else people say about visibility though.
    As far as battery goes - this game is actually trying to do a lot when playing on line so it's to be expected that it's a bit of a battery eater, but with that said there are still optimization to be done and we hope to see that get better.

    Yeah, this is a great suggestion. We'd love to add some sort of spectator option. Interested in hearing if you have any ideas for how you think that should look/function.

    More info on AR Mode!

    Hey TouchArcaders!

    Launch time for Guns Royale is getting closer and we're super excited to tell you a bit more about AR in Guns Royale!

    Those with an iOS device that supports ARKit with be able to see an 'AR' button on the main menu. When pressed the player will be prompted to setup the play surface in their physical space. Once setup is complete AR mode will be enabled and players will be able to jump into an online battle as usual, but with the magic of AR! :D

    You'll notice in the below video that the game is anchored to the real world but exists within a walled portal. We made this decision for two main reasons. First, the battle maps are too large and would cover much more surface than a coffee table or any other ordinary surface would be able to accommodate. Second, we needed to keep the player's visibility of the world around them limited so as to not give AR players a massive advantage over non-AR players.

    Check out the video and let us know what you think!
