Manacraft Hey instabuy! I've been thinking and I reckon you should make a free version of manacraft were you can only do creative building (no dungeons, mobs etc.) which would work on the older iPhones and iPods. To unlock the ability for mobs etc. You would have to pay an in app purchase! Tree could also be a standard app were you pay first up, it's just I like tge while try before you buy and this way older Idevice owners wouldn't have to pay for a 'limited' version. I reckon this app is awesome. Keep up the good work!!!
Can we have a video and some update to tell use where you are? And with the current success of bloodnguns, and the complete success that manacraft is going to have, instabuy games is, mark my words, going to earn millions.
Hey instabuy, I have just started up as an apple developer and have already made some basic apps (mainly just a flashlight and some other single view based apps, experimenting with sliders etc.) I have moderate experience in objective c and am learning computer graphics in school, but could you tell me some pointers and ideas on how to make apps like this and bloodnguns (by that I don't mean I want to copy)
Just wanna make some contributions... Hey instabuy, just wanna make some contributions, soz if I'm pissing you off by posting on this thread so much. Anyway, earlier in this thread I read some people saying not to make any mistakes like in Eden or World Explorer. The reason I think the creators of Eden and World Explorer may have made mistakes is: 1) their lack of mobs 2) their lack of multiple worlds/realms 3) the lack of water/lava 4) no real point besides building (unlimited resources, nothing much to do) 5) laginess or low fps 6) bad cave systems. From what I have played in world explorer, I have never found any caves but in Eden the caves are just massive holes in the ground. They don't serve a purpose and get in the way of building underground. 7) no multiplayer I am not saying these things need to be implemented into manacraft, but they are the 'mistakes' which make people dismiss these games. Love what you're doing, especially how you are trying to make the game not too similar to minecraft. Keep up the great work!!!
Another piece of advice... Hey instabuy, I've got another piece of advice. This game is awesome and will be an instant success. Just please, please, please make the app have a cool icon. I know it doesn't sound very open minded, but many people judge books by their covers (or apps by their icons) anyway personally, I think an awesome app icon could easily make you an extra $500-$1000 at least
@Bhoy Yeah i know. That's why I said 'mistakes' instead of mistakes. I know Eden is not meant to be a minecraft clone, that is why it is called Eden-World Builder. It's just that earlier on in this thread someone said "just please don't make the mistakes Eden did". I think Eden is great, and I also think manacraft will be I'm just trying to explain to instabuy games how most people think that Eden wasn't a success because what most people want is minecraft.
