    Worked just fine here and played the first mission of the new chapter, after the new cutscene-intro.

    Awesome as ever, still highly recommended game.

    Thanks for the update!!!

    Episode 2 Launch!

    Hey fans, Kevin here from Robot Circus! Really awesome to see how enthusiastic and supportive you are for our game. Thank you!

    I just wanted to post a quick explanation of where Ticket to Earth is right now. The update that went live yesterday was an early, unofficial test build that needed testing for technical issues and wasn't really intended for public consumption. We've received some reports of users hitting some issues in that build. We wanted to let you know that we've tested the fleck out of that version and have squished all the bugs, so when the official Episode 2 launch version goes live tomorrow, it won't have any of those issues.

    Thanks so much for your passion for Ticket to Earth. We're super-thrilled to be sharing it with you finally. Keep the peace! ;)

    Thanks for the update! Did you see the posts where a few of us are having issues with the iCloud saves? Is this a common issue? Any resolution?

    We have had a few reports about Cloud Saves, but it seems to be working for most people.

    The cloud saves seem to work reliably in our tests, even when logging in with an AppleID on a new device, etc. (We use them sometimes in testing to recreate issues, etc.)

    One thing to note is that the Cloud Save system we use makes use of underlying functionality built into iOS, and it may be uploading the saves in the background. So while it is usually pretty quick, it pays to leave the game running for a bit to make sure it's uploaded, and to close/reopen the Cloud Save dialog to check the timestamp of the saved game.

    When you get the "Please try again later" message, it could indicate network problems, or it could indicate it tried to retrieve data from the Cloud but found nothing was saved there.

    I wish I could provide more information. We have been trying to recreate the Cloud Save issues to fix it but haven't been able to yet. We will continue to look at it, and will be sure to provide an update when we know more.

    ^^ Thanks for the info. Yeah, I keep getting the “try again later message”. Have a feeling the save just isn’t there. :(

    Probably will just have to play through Episode 1 again.

    Having so much fun getting back into this.
    Great job guys.

    Maybe I am not far along enough yet but is there a way to revisit the first map area? I know you can replay the missions but it would be much nicer if you could 'jump in your ship' and fly back to Land's End. It would also be nice to be able to go back through the story and lore but I wouldn't know how you could do that.

    So happy to see this updated. Thanks!

    Feel like I'm going to have to learn the game all over again!

    Hey man, you could just start fresh from ep 1. I decided to do as such as a refresher and just for fun, I think the transition into ep 2 will just be more fun.

    Devs: I appreciate the fact that you allowed us this early release version! Myself and others had been waiting so long it almost hurt!
    <-------excited!

    Any vague round about time until ep.3? Will it be as long of a wait for it?
    Thanks guys!

    When will the official update be out? My version is 2.0.0 but I’m not seeing any update yet, and after updating some of my characters abilities the game now crashes every time I try to start episode 2

    Hey, I'm a little confused. The title screen says Chapter 2, and it shows a cut scene involving Wolf and Rose. When the game starts, though, it says Chapter three and I'm now controlling me electro knux guy, and I have no idea where the plot is. Anyone else?

    How do I add the crystals to my weapons, or change them - I can’t figure out how to get back to that screen :confused:

    It's on the character summary screen. Click the blue icon with three heads on it, then select Weapons at the top.

    Episode 2 is now officially out!

    Episode 2 is now officially launched!!

    Thank you all again for your support and patience.

    The new episode includes dozens of fresh missions to play through. There’s also an additional playable character, with a whole different moveset and a crafting system that allows players to upgrade their gear. You’ll need all the help you can get as you fight through a horde of brand new enemies, including terrifying mutants and a vicious militia!

    There are also a few smaller, new features that you may not have noticed yet!

    In the turn list, there is now an option to "Delay" your turn (and not just "End Turn"). This lets the character postpone their turn to later in that round (as opposed to giving up their turn entirely with "End Turn"), enabling some new strategic options!

    [​IMG]

    In the pause menu, we've added some new options:
    "Fast Forward" - Which allows you to fast forward during enemy turns by holding down on the screen.
    "Confirm Move" - Which will confirm a line with you before the character moves.

    [​IMG]

    There's plenty of other new stuff to try in Episode 2! We hope you have a great time with it! :D

    We're calling the major release updates "Episodes", but inside each episode there are multiple "Chapters".
    - Chapters 1 and 2 are in Episode 1.
    - Chapters 3 and 4 are in Episode 2.

    Keep playing... Not wanting to give anything away, you may or may not see Rose and Wolf again soon... :)

    Fantastic game.

    The one update I'd sort of beg for is something to do with the abilities buying screen.

    It's been a long while since I last played. Currency is scarce. But I've accidentally bought 3 or 4 abilities that I just didn't need / want, bc I assumed I owned them and was equipping them.

    Cue $5-650 down the drain (ouch!) each and every time, and a weapon that can no longer be afforded.

    Tbf, I've spannered this enough times that I'm looking st a reset (compounded by the fact that, yeah, I saw Doc's stats would be reset, but didnt remember when I next powered up; so thought I was far richer than I remembered, as doc's $2,500 weapon had been sold due to his ability reset; so bought a top end gun for the shooty bloke; and am now skint, with too many abilities and shite weapons and no way to row back).

    Tbf, I'm not 100% enthusiastic about re-grinding chaps 1&2. Hmm!
