    Please let this be approved by Thursday.

    Well, whatever week it comes out, I know it'll be game of the week. Seriously, what other games are coming out in the next two weeks that are going to be this good? I've been slightly detached from TA since school started, but I can't think of any.

    Yeah... I probably should have said something about personal preferences and whatnot. :eek:

    I'm getting off topic here, but for those games: don't care about, don't know what that is yet, not my kind of game, thought that was delayed, and didn't know that was coming out so soon. lol. Kinda funny how they're all different :p

    (No offense to people that're looking forward to those games I just put down. As I said: personal preferences.)

    Yeah, I'm picky. :)
    A little.. it's kind of like 2d minecraft, right?

    For some on-topicness, I'm going to say that... umm.. I can't do it right now; too tired. Someone else please rerail the thread.

    Any idea if Mage Gauntlet will work on a 2nd generation iTouch? I know my device is an older one (time to upgrade), but I hope RocketCat will give folks like me a chance to enjoy this great game!

    I'm sure Kepa said earlier in the thread that it would, as he uses a 2nd gen iPod to test.

    P.S. you can tell Mage Gauntlet has got me excited as it is the first game in a long time that has got me checking touch arcade everyday for news :)

    No chance, at least right now. Before we just kind of delayed Android ports because it wasn't nearly as profitable as iOS, or PC, or most other platforms we looked into. Now we're avoiding it completely, due to a slew of weird problems with the platform. Getting into the details would turn into an essay.

    We'll be working on a PC version of Mage Gauntlet, though. We plan to start porting right after our next game (CODENAMED: ED). It would be great if we could start doing PC + iPad + iPhone launches for all of our future games.

    PC: Much greater exposure for complex or niche games.
    iPad: Dedicated iPad version, taking full advantage of the larger screen and processor.
    iPhone/iPod: Portability, playing it on the toilet.

    Some of the most successful games I can think of go this route, or at least iPad first, then iPhone a little after. Not sure why going from the big devices to small devices works, it just seems to work really well. Maybe something to do with how you get press coverage with each port?

    I for one would welcome such an essay. I've read here and there about the Android app ecosystem, but it's still largely a perplexing mystery to me.

    Jeez I love how straightforward and honest you are with your posts. Definitely refreshing amidst some shadier devs I've come across and a surefire sign you guys respect your customers.

    I enjoyed Super Quickhook immensely!

    Now, with that crap aside I gotta say I'm dying in anticipation! ;)

    Yes, I must admit I wasn't a big fan of the Quick hook games myself (yeah, I know) but I have been extremely impressed with the developer updates Kepa has been providing for Mage Gauntlet. They definitely don't think their customers are dumb and we're not talked "down to" like I've experienced with certain other devs. As you said it is refreshing.

    ED as in the name Ed, or ED as in an acronym?
    Not that it really matters, as it could mean anything either way...
