damn this sucks for SouL_DragooN either way. First he has to wait another week or two and than let pirates waste his money. Hmmm.. hopefully anti-piracy code will save him some money.
You didn't get the first part that was not quoted, where it was explained that people spend a good deal on ipads, touches, and phones - then complain that they have to shovel out a couple of bucks for a videogame app. Trying to justify piracy is just plain pathetic. Once again - the part that wasn't quoted. If you think that ungratefulness and self entitlement are not problems on these forums, then just look around at the amount of complaints about complaints and demands from players.
SD, have you taken a look at the IAP trick that Gameloft has been using lately? Also, make sure that users know an email address or URL to go to to report any issues with a future release.
There is a support mail and IAP is not a trick. It reduces mainstream piracy, but still easily pirated.
Yes iap is not safe either.. nothing really is.. I just want to make it harder on them if I can just get a percentage to go the right road then things will be great. As far as IAP.. I do not like them that is why I have 2 versions .. the FULL collectors and the standard that is IAP based. The collectors really opens me up to piracy but I will not let piracy dictate what I offer to users... unless it gets to 100% ... then I go mow lawns or something that makes better money on after hours work =)..I do hope apple at least puts some effort into this category... I think they were banking on the anti-jailbreaking lawsuit (of which I disagree jailbreaking really opens up some neat stuff.. ).. who knows.. As for now back to the next attempt!.. I am glad I have 2 versions as I can rapidly try different things against apples tests.. .. Collectors is already back in and standard will go again today with a different test.
Exclusive Collector's Edition perks - All 5 episodes included - Game is open to immediately explore with the teleporter - 2X the armor sets (You can wear enemy armor and flesh when it drops) - Epic Sword - Saintly Armor - 100 Mana potions - 100 Health potions - Collectors Editon Icon
LONG.. but varied.. 300+ cut scenes and 170+ quests with full cut scenes... So again from Doom who has played for the last 8 months 50-100 hours without multiplayer.. After 13hrs in I have made it past level 10! Only 40 to go xD talk about replay value! http://yfrog.com/h5a0mhuj http://yfrog.com/h2bh7nwj He is playing now and tracking his progress on twitter www.Twitter.com/DoomFan
Oh haha, I meant how long does the collector's edition last as in how long until it will be taken out of the appstore? Or is it always going to be there and just more expensive? What's the file size o.o?
There's 2 versions, basically there is a base version (which you can upgrade with iap) and then there is a collector's edition which has a bunch of perks that are stated in one of Soul's post in the previous page. Base version: 3.99 with additional episodes (iap) for 0.99 each or in a pack for 2.99 (there are 5 episodes) Collector's edition: 9.99 I believe. Includes.... - All 5 episodes included - Game is open to immediately explore with the teleporter - 2X the armor sets (You can wear enemy armor and flesh when it drops) - Epic Sword - Saintly Armor - 100 Mana potions - 100 Health potions - Collectors Editon Icon I believe that Ryan said the file size was something around 360 mb, but I forgot so I might be wrong.
I believe so. In any case all the testers with retina devices say that everything is really sharp, so no worries there.
Thanks TTI. I'll be sure to grab the collector's addition as soon as it's out. Nice, the file size is pretty reasonable. Any idea when it'll be coming out?
Well, as you can tell from the discussion that's going on, the game is getting rejected by apple because they don't approve of the anti-piracy code that is utilized in the game. And Ryan just posted that he sent out a new version of the collector's edition today, so hopefully that doesn't get rejected as well.
Dear [insert deity of choice here]! I've been wondering when you would finish this once you made the move from tweaking NR to working on ME. And yes, for an entire year+ of programming there damn well better be some massive gameplay there and it looks like there is. Jeebus though, 50-100 hours of gameplay? That literally makes it the longest RPG shooter on iOS to date. Ever thought about hooking up with an xBox Live programmer and porting this thing? Or porting it over to Mac OS X and releasing it on the Mac App Store? You wrote it, so how hard would it be to port this thing to other platforms?
Yes it is a massive game. I also spent every bit of that year making this the best I could ... As far as porting. Not a big dea. I worked on 360 games before I worked on iOS games. The issue is sales.. If it does well sure a port makes sense If not as good then a sequel.. Then lower then expected this drops bag to more of a hobby and smaller game something like minecraft but with real graphic power. We will know soon both are back in review and I have 4 emails waiting for apple to answer
