This means i will be busy playing this. This also means focus will be directed to finishing Fargoal 2... Amiright?
Yeah, once PQ is out the door I will have more time to focus on Fargoal 2. Will have some extra help (finally) as well. But enough about Fargoal...
There's a lot. When you run out of the main ones, you get random quests with new ones thrown into the rotation. Takes about 5 hours to get the prize, though we've already submitted an update that makes the earlier ones easier to get. Starts at around 2.5 hours now, and goes up. Instead of getting a badge, you get a fancy randomly generated hat. Random particle effect on a random hat with random extra attachments, like horns. You get unlock upgrades that let you reroll the appearances of these hats, and another upgrade that can make the reroll add a bonus skill to a hat.
I hope this doesn't mean that Rocketcat is running out of money. The Hook series and Mage Gauntlet were one-of-a-kind games in the iOS ecosystem, while this is very close to the proven Jetpack Joyride model. I'd like to think that polished, original games still have a good chance of surviving in the App Store. Not that Punch Quest going to be a bad game, but I've seen other companies with original games do this as well, such as Mobigame w/Zombie Tsunami. Makes me worry. Whatever the case, best of luck and I hope you make the millions you deserve!
I hope these guys do really well with this. listened to the podcast and I really can't think of a game I am more excited for!
Never would have guessed that Street Fighter was a big influence. So it will sort of be a side scrolling roguelike endless runner/puncher. Cool beans.
We're not running out of money at all, but we're also growing extremely slowly. The free thing is mostly to expand our audience by some huge amount. I don't think polished, original games can't survive on the app store now, but at the same time I can see it getting harder for new developers to succeed on the store compared to when we first got on. Lordgek: You can get an unlock that lets you reroll Ultra Hats into Hats of Legend. These hats have a random Power I Skill assigned, letting you have two Power I skills at the same time. This bends the rules, everyone else can only equip one Power I at a time.
Sh*t yeah! I'm definitely considering staying up (much later than usual) and throwing all money possible at it.
I say release it now haha, waiting till certain times to release is for chumps! Instabuying something as soon as i get this.
