    Hey! Willing to give this a twirl if you guys get this out soon. I was about to drop money on Dominion HD and Conquist, but this looks good as well.

    Hope you guys get it out soon or I might not have enough because of the awesome strategy games already available on the app store.

    First thing, GREAT thanks for all the replies and comments !

    wwTouch version 1.0 is currently waiting for review and will hopefully be available in the next very few days ! We are super excited about finally releasing the game that totally absorbed us for the last 7 months ( we actually started working on the game principles and idea since before the iPad announcement, and from the beginning of development, the game was built around the unique possibilities offered by the iPad).

    Now the questions :

    - official final price for wwTouch hasn't been decided yet (expect something between 8.99$ and 12.99 $), BUT for the first week-end, price will be 6.99 $ (sort of a gift to who already knows about the game and it's release time)

    - diplomacy has been cut off this version mainly because it would have slowed down a lot the gameplay. The main aim of wwTouch is to deliver a decently fast strategic game that could be played as a board game by human players, so we wanted to keep everything as fast and "easy" as possible.
    BUT, together with online multiplayer, some diplomacy options will be introduced so that some kind of alliances could be formed between players (unit and resource exchange included).


    One of the main things we still have to say, is that we want to improve the game with users feedback, and while we want to keep the game simple and possibly "fast", deep strategy is the core of the game, and we are more than willing to study ways of extending the complexity keeping the user experience "clean" and fast.

    Also, new video should arrive soon...

    Again great thanks for all the feedback you have provided !

    Looks good. I wonder how this will do at that price with all of the similar games out there? Or is this a lot different?

    Wow long time I haven't heard from you FrozenPepper! I still remember you as a one man team I think. And to see you committed to the iOS platform is wonderful! On a separate note about wwTouch is WOW!!! It looks awesome. I was wondering if you have any sort of espionage like say spy entering an area to see the defense etc. And how about a secret alliance like what the US did for Afghanistan. (Proxy War) this game is shaping up real good but I think I'll wait a week so that the price can rise and pay you a bit more ;) nice work and always glad to see that you're alive and kicking out great games

    Again thanks all !


    Great to hear back from you randomdude ! Thanks a lot for all that you said !
    About espionage : it was planned in this version of the game, it had even been tested, but it was cut off (as diplomacy) for the sake of simplicity. With wwTouch I wanted to make something similar to a board game, so it was kept sort of "easy", but future, will surely bring enhancements to the game, plus I've learned really a lot while doing this game, so expect future titles on this genre, with more depth, especially if we target the "solo" play as opposed to wwTouch which is born to let up to 5 human players play on the same iPad with a decent game speed...

    Can't spend much time here replying, (i'm on vacation !!!!!!!! ), but again thanks all !!!

    Not sure what you see that is indicating knowledge of an imminent release, outside of him saying that it has been submitted.

    Munkie!

    Just that he did not seem to intend to return to this thread, which makes me believe that by tomorrow the released thread is where we'd see him. Because if it's not requested to be released on a specific date it just pops up, right? And why release on friday 13th? So, I figured that by Tommorow we'd see it. But I'm not claiming any special knowledge. Just waiting to buy the game. ... ....

    Evil taco!

    Ops.. sorry if I gave the wrong impression... Unfortunately, there is no way for us to know when the game will be approved by apple, so we don't know much more than what you do....
    Even if on vacation (and enjoying it a lot after so many months of hard work on wwTouch), I will check this thread to reply answer questions and provide more informations as they become available...

    I see! Even without the darker side of war I will still buy this when it appears in the US Store! Hope you enjoy your vacation (or invasion ;)) Congrats on the work and I can tell this will make it into the Top Grossing App, Top Game, and Top Paid! Nice catching up with you, and I can't wait until you decide to do a more in-depth game and so is my wallet :)

    Apple is sure taking their time with this one... did it fail approval?

    Munkie!
