Schizoguy posted:(Tumbledeez) There's not a 1-to-1 because in Adventure mode, you get points for distance and gold, then Coins based on the score total. I wanted to try to make it not as gold-focused as Gold Rush mode (which is why the distance ticks up faster than in plain Distance mode). The single coin counts for about 1/2 a Coin, the pile is about 2, and the sack is 4. You also get the Coins in both other modes, with a higher score-to-coin breakdown since there's only one way to score in each. Honestly, the Coin thing was a temporary name that I couldn't think of anything better for. Credits? TumbleBucks? Nothing really sounded good. It may still get renamed. And what I'll probably do next time I sit down and work on it (I've been tinkering with this, which may or may not become a real game) is move Adventure to the top of the game mode list, and keep the other two as more mini-games. My wife is my test group, and she doesn't play games, ever. I found that when she played Adventure mode, she never used any of the items unless I was hanging over her shoulder asking her to try them. So leaving in the simple mode and the only slightly more complex mode helps with the super casual (ie: Flappy Bird) crowd. Plus they're still a source of Coins and have their own leaderboards, so it's not a waste to play them. There's definitely still work to do. I've been learning quite a bit messing with this other project, so I can probably fix a few things here and there, and there are still a few things I'd like to add in. Then it's all in on trying to make a Pokemon clone, I think...

Ineptitude posted:Speaking of Puzzle Craft, does anyone know when Android will receive Puzzle Craft's "Treasure Hunt" update? (the version 1.12 update, Android currently has 1.09) Sorry for the late answer, but I've been hella busy with Another Case Solved. Due to things beyond our control (contractual obligations, etc.) we unfortunately don't expect the Treasure Hunt update to appear on Android in the nearest future. Sorry

For anyone who somehow hasn't played it yet on any of the many other platforms its already been released on, season one of The Walking Dead Telltale Adventure Game is finally out on the Play Store. Episode one is free, with each subsequent episode and bonus ep 400 Days $5 each. There is a discounted season pass however for around $16. In other releases, Impossible Road, a super hard minimalist ball rolling game that got some good reviews when it debuted on iOS a year ago is also out for Android, while OrangePixel (Heroes of Loot, Meganoid) has a new shooter called Groundskeeper 2 that should be good for some mindless fun. mrkillboy fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Crayzeh Taxeh... I dunno, that looks like it plays exactly like an endless runner to me, even if it's actually mission based. Nice presentation and it could be fun, but it definitely looks like a simplified mobile game for phones. Also the Humble Bundle updated with a few more games, including a point and click adventure from the Gemini Rue guy

KoP&P keeps on going.. and going... How long is it? I've got to the part where I cleared the places in the real world after saving Gaben and the remaining quests have all jumped to the mid-60s and I'm still like lvl 40. How far through it am I? Am I just supposed to grind out some upgraded equipment and slog out these mid-60s quests in the low 40s?

They've made zero official commitment to do so outside of vague statements like: quote:"But many of you might be asking 'What about Android (or Surface, etc.)!?' For now, the answer is that we hope to get it on all tablet devices but do not know for sure... Expanding tablet support will be our next highest priority, but we don’t want to make any promises (or rejections) until we’re 100% sure of the outcome."

Chas McGill posted:If it's the Shivah, it isn't by that guy, it's by Wadget Eye (who published Gemini Rue, but didn't make it). Oh yeah? Didn't realise that, I thought it was pretty much all a one-guy shop. The Shivah seems to run pretty well, and as far as I know (which isn't a lot in retrospect  ) all the Wadget games are done in the same engine, so it might be pretty doable if there's interest

Wow, I can't loving wait to waste more time tapping at poo poo to read weak jokes about a show I haven't given a poo poo about for many, many years. At least South Park makes actual, fun games - fun enough that I enjoy them despite no longer wanting to watch or tlak about the show ever again.

I think there needs to be two categories of games in the play store. Real games that are based on player actions, and skinner boxes that are based on real time and tricking people into buying smurfberries.

It's even worse when the pay wall isn't immediate. Like you get to lvl 40 in a game and then realize you can't compete anymore without shelling out $100. Games with Arenas/pvp tend to do this a lot. Clash of clans has struck a nice balance where it's not necessary to buy any cash and in the late game it doesn't have a large effect on your outcome.

It is the most frustrating thing coming from the console and PC games market. Not only is it a sea of crap, its all highly-rated crap for some reason, and even the Featured and Best apps are 90% IAP money sinks. Dungeon Keeper was especially heinous to some people because it took a known property and went IAP-crazy with it -- sure, it's not that bad once you've been conditioned by Candy Crush or whatever, but if you're comparing it to PC games like the actual Dungeon Keeper games, it's an amazingly unpleasant surprise and pretty much ruins the game. I really detest the Android marketplace and the entire IAP movement, and I routinely buy non-F2P games that I'll put an hour into, just to help keep real developers going.
