I had planned to implement controller flight mode but it lost the sense of frantic fast paced action during dog-fighting so I didn't develop it further. Sorry.
Yes I could see that almost cheating on those cases. Oh well, the control implementation is great here. Just looking for more titles to try out with my controller.
Game doesn't load on iPhone 4s iOS 8.1. It gets to the image of the chick with the spectacle looking glasses and that's it. Just hangs there.
Sorry, its made only for iPhone 6/Plus & iPads with Retina. This is in the app description: **[IMPORTANT: Please read before you Buy!]** 1. Designed *ONLY* for the iPhone 6/Plus and iPads with Retina Displays. ------------------ Please apply for a refund with Apple. I would refund via paypal but I have no more cash to do so. Broke. :/ If Apple won't refund, I can send a Steam key for the PC/MAC version to compensate for the misunderstanding. Let me know how it pans out.
I totally forgot about your Steam release. Just picked up a copy on there too. I'll have to see how the gameplay feels with different inputs.
I took that old version down as soon as the Elite version was ready. The old freemium version was stripped down on assets to get it to run at acceptable speeds. I wanted to move away from the IAP approach and iOS8's new engine to handle javascript was a good opportunity to release the same PC build. Edit: Also, updates are soooooo slow on Apple. Waiting to be reviewed takes a minimum a week. I already plan another update after this one, but it hasn't even been reviewed yet.
I'm rebuilding it to include all the recent changes I've put in for the Steam build, importantly, re-structure all the story text to be SKIP-ABLE via touching the text itself. This was something I messed up early on when starting, I made the text code on a timer and it just went from there, so it requires fixing each line. Also lots of re-balance to ease & speed up early game to get players into the Story. A few bugfixes too.
It's been like that since start of Jan. "Waiting For Review".. my last one sat in the queue for 10 days before "Under Review". Once it got to being reviewed, it was approved in about 10 minutes. Apple must be busy this time of year. This is the full changelog: ** Please ensure your device is not very low/out of storage prior to updating!! Story text is skip-able by touching the text itself! Added Interstellar inspired EinsteinRosen bridge graphics. Guild HQ (Al Dhanab & Gemini) reward is significantly increased! Increased profit on many trade & smuggling routes. Death penalty slightly lowered. Insurance will now also fully cover the 2nd Launcher Module. Increased early story campaign Credit rewards (its recommended to start the story with a Stiletto + Mk1 modules). Reduced missile loadout on early pirates around the Al Dhanab region (a bit easier starting out). Increased most ship bounty reward for kills. M&M Guild may offer a 25% bonus reward for completing missions in a timely manner. Turret Enhancer module also buffs Drone Damage! Resale value for modules is increased. Resale value for ships (trade-in) slightly increased. Lowered price of several top tier modules. Fixed an issue with music tracks not cycling. Added more audio tracks. Changed the all audio mute option to soundFx mute. Added an in-flight exit (returns to Title Screen) option via the Pause menu. Hanzo Yamada will reward you handsomely on some missions. A few bugs fixed.
It works just fine on the iPhone 5S, I've tested it (haven't got access to 5c to test), but the icons/text were too small for me to play well so I didn't recommend it. It would have required a major overhaul and atm I just want to focus on SN2, its such a big scope game that I'll be busy with it for a long time.
I recently made a Let's Play video (more of a guide, beating story missions with low end modules as intended!): Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel After the 1st half once you've beat the Prelude (this vid has missions ~half way mark of the Prelude), the missions shift to be all skill based because you've already obtained a maxed Frigate and can't rely on overpowering the missions anymore! i.e. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370735473
It's not alleged, it does occur when you run out of storage on the device. The auto filesave is only ~0.2MB, its not the cause. But iOS8+ was built with a new engine that facilitates running PC code unported. It allows saves to be written on the disk via LocalStorage. Sadly, they forgot to flag it to be immune from iOS auto-clean that triggers when storage is very low/out, deleting extra app files. I hope in the next compiler update, they will fix that because its a major oversight. I didn't catch it during dev testing (likewise for the guys who made the new iOS8 engine!) because my devices have plenty of space left.. http://osxdaily.com/2014/04/07/ios-app-name-cleaning/
Nice job Phan. I love the game. I hope you having no money in your PayPal does not dissuade you from continuing to push this game and also completing your next game. I hope you end up making a nice penny sooner or later.
