I ran and updated as soon as I saw this post. Dustin, I'm seeing strange behavior with text on the cards disappearing. I've seen cards where there were no stats displayed and also icons disappear from an investigator's card (in all cases the normal, non-expanded version). I was able to add a second ally to an investigator once, but I don't think it did anything. I expected scores to be higher, but the game I just played was my lowest. After all that, I went back to the app store page and it said update instead of installed....maybe I've been playing this game too much... *cackles*
Hi, there - I haven't been able to duplicate that, or noticed it while playing. Maybe Slava can speak to that, and about the high scores when he comes online. He made some adjustments to scores which you'll find a few posts back in the update list. If we find we can duplicate it we'll fix it right away. Thanks, I'll look into this further and see if it's happening to anyone else.
as for changes with scores: - if you won a game session - all your placed heroes' scores will be added to total mythos points; in additional: - if you won a game session - your "victories x 200" points will be added to total mythos points - if you lose a game session - your "defeats x 200" points will cut from total mythos points value and relic cards now have more mythos points, like 2-3x times more and if for example relic card has +1/+1 then score is 1000, if +3/+3 then 3000, so its more fair - if you'll beat a monster with bigger relic card used - you'll get more scores. Probably these values will be even more increased or changed to "x2 score", "x3 score" in the future (p.s.: when an update on appstore released for a game Im often figuring out that its better to wait up to 24h until it will really get effect, because sometimes it shows a new version, but I'll post a review - it can go to older version even if I've removed game totally and installed the update etc)
Got a request on the descriptive text for the card Gone Insane - it should say something like "immediate death for investigator AND MONSTER AFTER NEXT BATTLE". Otherwise, it sounds like the investigator dies as soon as the card is put on him (not to mention it doesn't even mention about the monster dying too).
I don't know if this has been answered yet - is the HD update going to be a free part of Necronomicon, or is it a new purchase of an app called Necronomicon HD?
Necronomicon Redux We're calling the HD version "Necronomicon Redux" and it will be a separate app, available specifically for iPads and retina-display devices. The current version of Necronomicon will remain as is for older devices. There's no difference between the two except for HD graphics. If everything goes well it'll be out around Halloween, along with a new game expansion DLC pack. More later...
Wow. That Necronomicon Redux image is fantastic; I love it! In fact, it now graces the screen of my iPhone as a rather superb wallpaper Developers, I know this won't be a priority of yours, and rightly so, but if you could release some hi-res wallpaper images at some point, that would be great. I'm really looking forward to NR and the forthcoming update. It will be great to see this game with hi-res graphics. A release date bang on Halloween would be very apt and a little bit spooky I really like this game but it does need some spit and polish in some areas to make it even better. I do hope you guys will address those points before moving too far ahead with content updates. I think it's important to get the basics right before moving on to more ambitious things. I will be back later with a list of things that, in my opinion, could use some improvement. I'm pretty sure there aren't any major issues with the game (not that I've encountered, anyway), so they will be relatively minor issues.
A list of suggestions would be great, and we'll try to work them in as time permits. I just wanted to quickly add I do plan on making some wallpaper images for anyone who wants them, but I'll be leaving town through next week, so I won't be able to get around to it until then. So after tomorrow I'm leaving the forum, and won't be able to respond to any questions. Slava can reply and help anyone with anything that arises. Thanks!
Dustin, where is the best place to send proofreading comments? I'm a technical writer & I have corrections for your textual content. "Dunwich" not "Dunwhich" and so forth...
Hi, you may send PM to me or Dustin here on TouchArcade ; ) First of all I should say sorry if there are kind of syntax errors in text. Im programmer on the game and not native english speaker, so words like "Shub Niggurath" Im writing after few tries : ) So I could do mistakes in text and as far there are pretty much stuff, Dustin could miss something while checking etc. But we're always open to make corrections : ) Not far ago we got an email from a Lovecraft's fan - pretty big email, and still are full in thoughts about it, because I was thinking we're the biggest Lovecraft's fans))))
I think this was mentioned previously, but there is a minor graphical glitch. I managed to get a damage bonus up to +10 for one of my Investigators, but it does not display correctly on the card itself... In addition, the battle screen shows it as +1 instead of +10. However, the correct +10 bonus is still applied to the dice roll...
The reverse side of the House Call card is a bit messed up... Incidentally, is there any chance of adding flavour text to the cards? I had forgotten about the flavour text on the previous version of Necronomicon; I think it adds a lot to the the game and the overall atmosphere. Makes the game more interesting. Why did you remove it?
Crash on loading screen (ipod touch 2g) Hi, I updated the app. In the previous version (and previous engine), I could play the game though it usually crashed (sooner or later). The horror ! Lost countless games that way and even a diploma for a win. But the game was fun and I managed to finish some games. With 1.2+, the splash screen (Necronomicon Horror image) appears then the game crashes. Systematically. No menu, no game. I've an ipod touch 2g with ios 4.2.1. Since the game requires ios 3+, it should work. I enjoyed the game and would really like to play it again. Thanks for your help. Edit: made a hard reset and game is now working. Same game but everything has changed (borders, animations, ...). Great !
Can someone tell me what the investigator lives are for? I've used that card that adds 1 life, and I see the count go up on the card, but I don't understand what that stat is for (because even an inv. with more than 1 life will still die if it loses). Also, there are problems with any dice roll bonus value that gets into double digits. So if you have say 1d6 + 10, on the card, the 10 overlaps the 1d6. And then on the dice roll screen, all you see is "1" - the 0 doesn't appear at all. One more thing - it would be nice if your player name would save from game to game, so you don't have to enter it in for every game (though it's not that big of a deal w/o having online leaderboards).
