Your Welcome! As an aside, we added Touch Arcade's GDC video of Pylon to the first post in this thread. We also added some screenshots and will add some more soon.
Sure! We are currently playtesting, tuning and polishing Pylon. We are finishing optimization, sound and long list of minor tweaks and adjustments to various parts of the game. We plan to have a new video soon, so be on the look out for that as well!
New Pylon Trailer & Other Cool News Hi Everyone - We are getting very close to the iOS release of PYLON! Here's a new "short-n-sweet" Pylon trailer we are going to start distributing... Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Also, some other cool news... Pylon is NOW available on the Windows Store and it's climbing the Top Paid games chart!! Here's the store link: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/pylon/ac7ca807-2406-4ede-a892-4897b677f449 We know this is primarily an iOS forum, but we're pretty excited about this. Microsoft is planning a very large marketing campaign around promotion of the store and they are going to prominently FEATURE Pylon. Pretty awesome! . . .
It looks good altho no multiplayer coop I assume. I will still buy the game, I just really dont like arpgs nearly as much without multiplayer.
That is correct, there is currently no multiplayer support. However, we have had many internal discussions about how we could enhance the game with more social type of interaction. This has ranged from an auction house, cross-game chat servers, gear/build comparisons, all the way to full multiplayer arenas and/or zones for co-op play. We do plan to add some type of server connection component to the game. How far we can take it depends on how well the game does. Of course, any other ideas or are welcome and encouraged!
Launch price has not been locked down yet. Although, our plan currently is somewhere within the standard premium game pricing range of $4.99 - $6.99.
Whoa... Pylon is already on Windows?!? That's an amazing progress update. I see the Window edition is $4.99 so randomly assume the iOS edition will be similar. If these developers say the iOS launch will be "very soon" and the game is already playable on another format then it looks like I'll be slashing my way through it in no time soon. Looking forward to the iOS launch.
A couple more images... We added the Game Trailer and some new screenshots to the main post, but here are a couple more... . . We'll be running a quick poll for the game icon very soon. We're excited to get everyone's feedback on which one they like. . .
At release the camera will be locked. What you see in those screens would be at max distance, so you would be able to zoom in if we add the functionality in updates. Glad you like the real-time shadows.
Hi Everyone, sorry for the delay in updates! We definitely have not abandoned the game. We have actually submitted Pylon and it has been approved by Apple. However, we have been presented with some exciting opportunities that have taken time to explore. This has delayed release, unfortunately. In the meantime we have been able to develop more content in the form of additional Arctic levels, a new boss, new enemies, additional systems to help with customization, as well as time spent in the development of a PvP system. IAP has been removed for now. We will keep this thread updated with any new information regarding release specifics.
