    Haha, I've never noticed, but you're right. It looks more like it's glued to the knuckles.

    Realistically, the Mac/PC versions will be ready before iPad. We're just swamped.

    I drew all of the game graphics, but not the icons. Just sayin'. ;)

    Madgarden, to make sure us testers can easily distinguish the beta versions from the official release, uses an upside down version of this icon which, at least to me, looks like some guy is using the sword as a putter. ;)

    Lol. I never thought of the putter thing, but I did feel like the upside down icon was like the "evil" version of the game. Like an upside down cross or something. :)

    Looking at the artwork some more, it looks like two dudes trying to give each other "pounds up high" in front of a glimmering sword, but they just slightly missed each other's knuckles like the true nerds they are. Am I reading too much into it? :p

    Sounds like a reasonable explanation. I mean, D&D geeks and all... ;)

    The top hand looks fine - it's the bottom hand that's the problem. The pommel is drawn behind the base of the hand, but it should be in front. If that was fixed, I think it would look a lot more like the hands are gripping the sword.
    A pretty minor issue though - you can barely tell when looking at it on the iphone.

    This game would do well on the Xbox Live Arcade (under indie section).

    Yeah! And also Steam now that it's coming to Mac, hey let's throw in Android, WiiWare and whatever else fits the bill. :) Guess we'll see how it goes...

    lol, that's what that is? I thought it was a guy taking a bite out of a fish. Suddenly the picture makes some sense...

    How's the update coming. This phrase... haunts my dreams, I hear it on waking, I hear it in my head as I feverishly try to wrap up the "update" the all-encompassing, consuming update to a game... I can't even remember the game now, all I can think is update... UPDATE... You must complete your quest to find the Update of Update... update... update... :confused:

    Er, I mean it's going well. I'm taking next week off of work for March break, and this byatch update is getting its ass DONE fo shizzle. Hopefully by the end of the weekend so I can relax.

    Where's bluewomble88? Come on, this prediction-making is really no fun without him. ;)

    Haha, I'm right here m'lord. I've been out of the country which is why you've had a "break" but no more....
    I predict it'll be done on Monday morning between 9.10am and 9.14am. I would like you to use this as a due date/time. For every minute past it you will incur a penalty which is yet to be decided. There are no prizes for finishing early. Basically what's yours is mine, what's mine is mine etc etc ;)
