The game appears to have been pulled from the U.S. App store. Is this normal prior to an update? Is something up?
The last update came with a major bug and the devs pulled the app. We are waiting now for a new update coming next days.
hi, yes, once it will be approved - we will release, in account it looks so: Version 1.1.1 Status: Waiting For Review Date Created: 27 November 2010 Release Control: Hold for Developer Release while waiting lets switch to some other theme: - we also porting the game onto another game-engine (3d), it will be same 2d graphics, but with 3d elements - like 3d dices with physics etc. New engine promise much more stability also,so don't blame me all the time on current game-version - not everything is because wrong direction of my hands)) - also its possible to use existing art and add new to make some mods to the game: it could be a new game or mini-games inside current, any proposes for mini-games (for example, for board-game part - each location can have own puzzle task or something) ?
I can wait, I am still too busy to complete a single game of card. Anyway, is RD in any part of the plan with you guys? Mini-games? I am not sure if this fits in, IMHO.
yes, ipad and RD are in progress, I think Dustin will post some screens for pre-review in nearest days, I saw new HD seal, battle screen, and I believe graphics will be ready on next week (there are no resizing, its high-detailed new HD images), programming will not take long. why mini-games not fits ? I meant for example to expand each location on board game and add some tasks for player to do to complete each location instead auto-search
I think adding mini games to the board game is a great idea. That way that part would feel more like a game instead of just being a chore to find everything. You could make it that you need to win a mini game before you get investigators for example and losing would set you back in the end battle. It could be a puzzle or a small maze you need to solve real fast. Or maybe a screen with 10 boxes and you only get to open 5, so you have a 50% chance of finding something.
Great! As a bought user, I think you don't need to sell me anything or convince me regarding mini-gaming.
there will be iphone 4's screen size app and ipad's screen 1024x768 app, we haven't decided yet about will that be separate applications or 1 universal... if to combine 3 apps into 1 - it will be about 250 Mb. With 8Gb I believe how its painfuly as far Im using 8Gb device : ) and now its around 70. And from another side we don't want continue theme about cash grab, so maybe HD versions will be 2in1 (retina+iPad) or something. As I described before its not just resizing, whole game's interface looks different on each resolution. About mini-games I think could be cool to make some crazy stuff on board-game. Not like puzzle boxes, where match3+fifteen+... others, but something related to the game, and adding real complexity to the board-game part (maybe even to separate board game so you can run it from expansions-screen (after improvements)?) (btw yes - the update should run on all iphone 3G devices, we have tested it on ~10 iphone 3g devices, where were problems with passing logo and actually start a game and for sure it works now on all of them. So, people, please, if you have jailbroken device and have downloaded game in russian-way, please contact me, we will solve the issue, don't attack, peace : ) and sorry Dustin, you shouldn't send me images for pre-view in future, as far I can't hold them on my PC and always wanting to share on TA : ) so here is new big-seal view (I don't know is that final version of the image, but HD)
That looks wicked, Slava. You guys should put up some iPhone/iPad wallpapers, or make them unlockable in-game or something.
here is one more wallpaper and only for free, because again we will be blamed as cash-grabbers if we will start to make wallpapers : ) we've even removed app from sale to prevent that))) while Dustin is offline, here is one more image (not final revision, but still HD)
Let me throw my vote in for it being universal. Before the game came out Dustin implied that it would be a LONG time if ever for any iPad version to come out, so I bought the game at $2 on launch only for it to be almost unplayable. Then,while I was waiting patiently for a patch, I find that the game was already on sale after a week or two. I know I can't expect every game to be universal, but I would be very annoyed if I was expected to pay for this game again when I couldn't play it very much after buying it the first time.
