This game seems so awesome, but all these updates later, we can't get bigger font? I also think forcing us to hold our phones upside-down is a bad idea. With both the d pad and speaker on the left, the speaker gets covered by my hand. Great game, unacceptable font size.
Increasing the font size will require a full overhaul of the current interface, along with tons of re-wording for spell/ability/condition descriptions so that everything can fit properly. This requires a lot of planning and a lot of time to get everything right, and it's something that I've been working on for a bit now. The new UI, along with new graphics, should be out by the end of the year. The reason why it hasn't received my full attention yet is because there have been a lot of other issues that needed to be prioritized, particularly bugs/crashes. If you're interested, I wrote a short post about why these bugs/crashes keep appearing out of nowhere here: http://thylacinestudios.com/forums/index.php/topic,308.0.html I don't think you have to hold your phone upside-down. As long as it's on its side (so that it's in "landscape" mode), the game will adjust regardless of which side it's on. Most games use landscape view so I don't think this is really a problem.
You were right about it being able to turn the other direction. I had my rotation locked, and it defaulted to being upside-down (but I'm calling it that arbitrarily anyway). That's great to hear about a font-increasing update. I hope the graphics won't change too much tho! I'm quite fond of them! I can see how they wouldn't be to everyone's tastes.
Great news! I'm so happy with my purchase, especially now that the engine was upgraded to support the new iOS. It helped that the creator was able to communicate what was going on. I only wish I remembered to fix my rating sooner. ;_; Been having lots of fun.
Testing the next update now - should be released sometime today or tomorrow. It should be out in plenty of time for All Hallows Eve. I mean Halloween.
The new update v1.1.0 has been submitted. You can find the patch notes here: http://thylacinestudios.com/forums/index.php/topic,321.0.html Enjoy the Halloween event!
There is a known crash with that item as well as Stoyanov's beer as well. Keep an eye on the server message on the title screen for updates I wanted to push out a fix, but by the time it would be approved by Apple the event would be over anyway. You can stock up on this beer to drink after it's fixed, though.
I tested the new version. The walking animation of the priest creatures seems to have a little error. You can see it when they walk to the right. The rest looks great so far
You need to press the left or right button on the directional pad to toggle over to the tens column, then you can press up/down to change that digit as well.
On average, players will probably run into him every 7-8 realms or so. You'll see him standing in the overworld like an NPC and you'll have to walk up to him and interact with him for the fight to start.
