I love this just got it the other day, just feel it needs more different colors, styles sizes its very lacking for the price .. different pathway styles, colors.. More building styles or just give us the blocks needed to build houses .. Different colors for trees let us be unique or funky .. Different sizes for trees & objects.. Animals.. Life .. people, movement .. Weather .. Different ground colors, more deeper greens even funky colors.. (Candy world lol ) Presets or a way to share what we build.. Furniture or a way to let us build our own in game? Maybe a builder in game to build our own houses or things then save & place into the world.. Bigger things like Skyscrapers giant volcanoes pre made cliffs.. Eventually cars or roads? Right now the price point for what is given compared to other building games is too much 1.99 would of been better..
For a one man team i think hes doing an excellent job and i have a very strong feeling little by little everything will be implemented but it needs time since hes alone doing this So far this is just a "potential" gem unless those are to be delivered
Thanks for downloading That's a good point I will rethink this and see if I can do a best-of-both. Thanks for playing and also for your great feedback most of what you have suggested is already in the pipeline. I will note down your other suggestions and play around with them. Also i've almost finished implementing the animals in the game. You can place animals anywhere and they will roam around freely but I would recommend keeping them inside fences, walls etc so they don't get lost in the open world. You could also play hide & seek with them if you decide to let them roam free. Here is a screenshot:
Thank you for your kind words Just a quick update to all my fellow Pocket Builders. I'm making some very good progress on the animals. The hardest part was getting the AI correct. Here is some of the animals that will be in the next update: - Wolf - Bear - Stag - Deer - Fox - Fantasy Boar That's just a few I've named of the top of my head. Once that is all done, it will be a lot easier and quicker adding people and more animals. I'm hoping to submit the update to Apple tonight. It will take them 1-2 days to review, so hopefully you can play the update on the weekend.
For a bit of flavour could you not add some animated small animals? Not to have any impact on the game but rabbits in fields, birds flitting from tree to tree, the occasional fish leaping from the water.
Hey jayneh ! The game's really perfect thank you. I wanted to know of you had social media accounts to follow the progression of updates. TouchArcade forums are not the best for this. Wish you good luck for the upcoming work !
3D Program Hey Jaynesh, What modeling/animation software are you using if you dont mind me asking? Keep up the good work cant wait to see how your project grows!
This is also the plan I've added a few small animals in there that just roam around the world. I will be adding more in other updates. Thank you I just created a twitter account http://twitter.com/pocket_build I still need to setup my profile pic etc but I will be updating that with news and features. Be sure to follow it Hey Some of my models are pre-made assets created by somebody else with some further customisations by me. I use Blender for all the modelling and the game is built using Unity3D. Along with animals the next update will also have people!!!! yayayay Check out my tweet to see a screenshot of one of the people that will be in the game https://twitter.com/Pocket_Build/status/929268346423451648
Hey guys I made the decision to delay the update last week so I can polish it up a bit more. I have now completed the update and it is now currently being reviewed by Apple, hopefully it will be available tonight or tomorrow. Here is a screenshot https://twitter.com/Pocket_Build/status/930766799360217088
Hi Jaynesh, I seem to be encountering a purple screen on start up with the current update. I am using iPad mini 2 ios 8.1.
Unfortunately no. It shows a dark gray background for a second than it turns purple. Nothing else after that. Tried all the troubleshooting options, delete/reinstall, close/open app, and a hard restart of my ipad. No success. These are actually thumbnail screenshots of the game.
Seems to be an issue with either the shaders or the GPU. Can you also try testing other games that have 3D graphics and see if there are any problems. Currently looking into this on my end.
A similar thing seems to happen to the recent game, Guns Royale. The developer emailed me, saying it was a transparency game engine level bug which manifested itself on ios 8 . They said it was really difficult to fix. So this is probably same thing. o well, if this is the case the software compatibility requirement should probably be switched to ios 9 only then. Thanks for checking.
I'm glad you like the update The day/night cycle is next in the pipeline. What would you say is the best day/night cycle length? Should it cycle every 5 minute, every minute, or something longer or real time? That's strange because I tested on my iOS 8 device and it's working fine. I will look into this further and see if I can get it working for you.
