Great news about the coming updates and future games. I'll be a loyal supporter, I can tell you that.
I love that you never intend on lowering your prices. It makes sure that I never regret buying your titles. I love HC and SQH too, so as soon as this new game is out, I can guarantee I will snap it up asap! Also will most likely be supporting most, if not all, of the new SQH DLC. Definitely worth supporting you guys.
Sometime back, you said Update 4 is major and for casual and hardcore gamers. Then a few weeks ago you said past update 3 would be just bug fixes.
I covered it above in more detail, but to restate it: Update 4 got canceled due to our updates slowly killing our ability to keep making games. It turns out that you have to have a huge player base *before* updates make any sort of difference. Another update would also mean the next game would be delayed by a couple more months. Some of the Update 4 stuff got rolled into Update 3, though.
No sales? AT ALL!!??!! Darn. I was hoping to get this at 1.99 or .99 but I guess that will never happen. The games I really want never go on sale. But that is fine because your costumers are happy, except me.
Nope. No sale. Never. Heck, you're going mad over 3 friggin' bucks? That's the price of a burger. And what has this to do with costumes?
Costumes? Was that a typo? If you ment customers its because devs have to keep there costumers happy and apparently by keeping the price at 2.99, costumers are happy.
Due to the positive response I received last time, I've thought of new Quickhook inspired characters that I hope will be turned into wallpapers like Metal Bear and the Undead Explorer. I've sent the specs of to the most gracious artist I have ever met, so cross your fingers. These will be the definitive last characters (at least for this game) that I'll think of, as I think the settled amount is enough. If brought to light, there will be one Fan character wallpaper for each zone in SQH (Grass, Cave, Ice, Lava, Acid, and Ruin). Here are the bios for your enjoyment *Frozen Shadow* A hulking behemoth of ice and lava, this golem was created as a footsolider to the demons of Eagle Mountain. One of a massive army, he is infused with the forces of the Mountain itself, and Dwarven attitude for shadow-like empowerment. *Axel* Not much is known of Axel, except for the fact he is somehow related to Aldora by blood. He has a fascination for Hook-tacular hooks. *Living Slime* Part of the same horde as Frozen Shadow, he patrols the Mushroom caves disintegrating all intruders who are enemies of the Demons. Made of pure acidic compounds, he is animated by a bone-like hook which doubles as his spine. Fond of the occasional hat-joke. *Arachnid Excavator" A pure cybernetic invention of Tara's to mine minerals during the night and in the occasional abyss. It is equipped with state-of-the-art lasers, drills, and extendable limbs. It spins webs of chain (or rope) as needed for movement. Banned from company use for being a deranged maniac, this drone is secretly kept by Tara for company to keep her sane while dealing with the residents of Eagle Mountain.
Update 3 submitted Update 3 submitted "New stuff in this update: Eruption Mode - The sequel to Avalanche Mode, and just as big. Features all new landscapes based on the Fungus, Ruins, and Lava levels. Eruption abandons secret paths and concentrates on pure survival. Three All New Unlockable Characters - Gnomey, Aldora, and Hookbot. All new characters have new hats and their own signature grappling hook! Three New Paid-DLC characters - Jake, Gunny, and Super QuackHook. Learn more about them in the Rocketcatalog. Almost all the new characters have their own signature rocketboots visual effect. More achievements! More hats and grappling hooks! New rewards for getting the more difficult achievements! Finder of Secrets Gold, and all other achievements, are now possible to get. Stronger achievement detection. Tons more dialog in the shop. All the characters can talk with the new characters, and all new characters can also talk with the other new characters, leading to a lot more conversations. Super Ultra Secret Level, so secret that I'm mentioning it in the patch notes. Racing-ghosts' ropes have been made less obtrusive. Various bugfixes and tweaks. New Performance Mode for people that were having lag problems. Let us know if you still experience lag... the small percentage of people that have lag problems will be our focus in the next couple updates." via: http://blog.rocketcat-games.com/2010/08/update-3-submitted.html the signature rocketboots visual effect is pretty sweet
Beat me to the update news Looks cool lots of content and cant wait for new characters and hats. I wonder how much each new character will cost ?
This is why I bought SQH as soon as it came out and will buy any future rocketcat games on release day. I wish more developers would do this.
Just beat lethal halls and had a look on those who completed zigzag horror on my friend's list. None of my 20 something friends with SQH have beaten Zigzag Horror as yet. *Gulp*
Wow, you have friends playing? I've tried and get people interested, but everyone is busy using Gowalla or some other utter pointless app. >_<
