Any kickstarter backers still not get their code? I should have just waited for release rather than backing the kickstarter I guess.
Given the way the App Store works, I don't see how codes for iOS app backers could be anything other than delayed. The very best case scenario, if a company really has their poo poo together, is that the codes are made available a few hours after the app goes live. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?

Apple just really has no interest in making this kind of setup work for developers.

Yeah, they can't start generating backer codes until the app is live, since they basically just buy gift copies for backers, as far as I know? That kind of reward structure is a straight up bad idea when the App Store is involved. I'd ask for a Steam copy.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
From the same TS kickstarter update.

We are happy to report that it appears Playdek has worked out the issue with Apple that was holding up the distribution process.

quote:

Delivery to our International Backers is going to be a little more difficult. Playdek needs to know which type of device (iPad/iPhone) you are going use to play the game. Please send a message to support@playdekgames.com, identifying which device you want to play the game on (iPad/iPhone) and make sure to include your Kickstarter e-mail address. We apologize for the additional inconvenience this might cause, but they need this information for the international distribution process to continue.

Someday I'm going to play the game and it's going to be awesome :bang:

Hey Bummey, I think I posted in the last thread that I'd been accidentally been banned from the GroupMe due to the way I was originally removed, then forgot to check back into the thread, sorry! Looking to tee up some Twilight Struggle games, may I get off the blacklist?

Is there no step back function? I am dumb and blind if there is because all I can see is the undo button which restarts your whole turn including phase prompts and animations and that kind of blows for 45 minute timer games.

Hey, just a heads up that Galaxy of Trian is free right now. It's a kickstarted Carc-like that no one has tried and is probably not very good but hey it's free.

As far as I can tell it's only free for today, so if you're gonna grab it, grab it now.

It's a good game, nice interesting mechanical twist on Carcassonne, but the devs are idiots and it's free today because that's the only way they can give it out to Kickstarter backers in a timely fashion :lol:

Yeah I wasn't very impressed with the game itself and the app is janky. The scoreboard cracks me up; it's somehow so slow that you can watch it load player names and score and then sort itself in realtime.

When I clicked it, it went to that weird anime card game that everyone in here always talks about.

I can't judge them however as apparently I own it?

Is the anime card game legit good, or is this one of those Bad Rats ironic things? I like Dominion, and one of the reviews said it's basically Dominion with anime titties.

But most of the reviews seem to focus on how it's a good anime game, soooooo.

There's not a lot of things I would say creepy anime is better than.

But Dominion base art would be one of them. Good game, awful awful art.

Five Card Quest always felt board gamey to me.

I supposed KoDP could be a board game with a DM and a shitton of dice rolling.

IAP consists of extra teams but the team balance is very strong and bonus maps (that you can play on for free in ranked games) and cosmetic stuff like changing your castle's appearance also increasing your maximum games you can be playing at one time. It's all pretty low impact and you need 0% of the IAP to become a top ranked player. I have played on and off for years, it is a fantastic game.
