Hey guys, just to clarify, currently ascending a Koi will only give one pearl regardless of rarity or pattern. Here's a tip: mating koi will usually come when you're about halfway through gaining a level! Hope you find that useful!
I have completed the tutorial, I have several dragons so I should have the limited edition koi but I never got it. I'll contact in game support, I hope you guys can help me get it.
Easily GOTW for me. I downloaded a few of the "big name" games this week and have hardly touched them haha. SUGGESTIONS: -Day / Night cycle! The water could gradually change color & hue to indicate time of day, and at night you can see the moon reflected in the surface of the water. In addition, at night some of the fish / algea / plants could be phosphorescent. Too much? -Goals / tasks (similar to the expand pond system maybe, but more complicated) that award pearls. -Koi family: some people have expressed a desire to be able to view he rest of your koi swimming around. I've been trying to think of a way that this could be integrated without breaking immersion, since depending on the current size of the pond it could be crowded with 3-5 other koi swimming around. One idea is to show the other koi in your current My Koi list OUTSIDE the perimeter of the pond. So if you swim to the edge with your current koi you can see them swimming around on the other side (and just maybe they bump noses?? Lol) Maybe you need to keep swimming along the edge to see all of them. I'm sure you can come up with better ideas tho. -Offline feeding: it would be cool, and a little more immersive I think, if your koi (maybe just the currently active one ?) ate on their own while you were away from the game. It wouldn't count towards pond expansion, and it wouldn't be a lot, but if you were gone for a long time and came back they would have eaten on their own and gained some xp. Actually playing would still be the fastest, but for those who can't be on their phone a lot they could still progress a little over time. -lots of ideas about the dragons but I'll stop here for now. Sorry if this is a lot, I just love this game and think it has so much potential. Thanks!
Day night cycle would be really really great! More things going on in the pond would also be a huge plus, and maybe a bit of water movement (tiny waves or stream) would make it a must have for all. Just like mentioned before, I bought a few big games recently but the one I am playing all the time is this one! I really hope you guys will make enough so that we can get great updates in the future!
We really love hearing all these ideas! Even if we do not have the time/resources to implement of all them, these feedback and suggestions really do help us improve the game, so keep them coming! Love the enthusiasm, you guys are awesome. We did actually briefly explore day/night cycles early on during development! Right now we are more focused on fixing crashes so more people can enjoy the game, but we definitely have plans to improve the gameplay experience in the future!
Anyone wanna facilitate a trade? I kinda want to get a feel for the system. My gamecenter is "Death by Fiction" add me and post here. I can send out a rare colored Sutato dark green and possibly blue if I can breed it fast enough "I could clone it but would prefer to save my pearls" I could also send out a common Bux. I would prefer something I don't have all ready but I understand it's early on and really just want to see how the system works. Thanks
Oh that's a shame, I was looking forward to trading Koi I know I am in the minority, but I don't have a facebook account. Shucks.
This is a great little game! Super simple and laid back gameplay, with a wonderful art style and graphics. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I do, but it'll definitely be staying on my iPhone for a while.
Ok I've done some playing around with trading. I like that it doesn't cost pearls to gift a fish. I also discovered that I can't gift a type of fish you haven't unlocked on your own yet. This kind of makes trades useless except in giving out color variations. So I couldn't give out any Bux style fish unless you had bred one yourself.
Koi Trading Hey guys! I totally understand your disappointment. We didn't use Game Center because we wanted to allow players to trade between iOS and Android devices, so using Facebook was kind of a compromise due to time constraint. But enabling gifting without connecting to Facebook is definitely on our to do list. (Maybe something like generating a special, one-time-only "gift code"? What do you guys think?) That would indeed be a pretty sweet feature. But we really hope you would understand and bear with us in the meantime. We think it's quite a nice feeling to gift and receive koi from friends, so we never intended to charge pearls for gifting. The patterns you have unlocked are an indication of how far along you have progressed in the game. We didn't want to take away the joy of discovering a new pattern by simply having it gifted to you, which was why we had in place that limitation for gifting. Once you have unlocked a pattern, however, you can then work together with your friends to help each other complete the collections. I can totally understand where you're coming from though, and it's something we will have to mull over. I'd be very interested to know how the others feel about this too!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know we're currently running a Facebook and Twitter contest to give away 100 limited edition Koi! Check out our Facebook and Twitter pages for more info! Links in signature.
the update sais more pearls/ rewards, however in game the rewards and prices of pearls stayed the same.. is it just me? I love this game, but as it is you have to spend a lot of money to enjoy this.. with just 4 koi slots and 5 euro for one more slot, i think it's too steep...
