My apologies for my sarcastic comment earlier. I would just like the devs to keep us informed here. They have posted in the past. It's all about follow up. Every game I have ever got that the devs have been behind and updated they have been in touch with the community here. Examples are above, ny zombies and above all cavern. They listen and they keep us in the loop. Last I heard this game was approved once already. I asked if they had to resubmit and never got an answer. It is really too much to ask for a single post that says hey guys, hey fanbase, we submitted, we are now waiting on apple? I think not. Don't let 100 rogues be the next deliverace. keep us informed...
I am in the beta... I don't think this was ever approved because its still being tested. You can go here for good up to date info: http://dinofarm-games.com/ or the twitter / facebook links that are on the site as well. *I just asked... looks like it should be submitted tomorrow! w00t! This game rocks!
Hey all - I'm the lead designer of 100 Rogues, and here I am, keeping you informed! Yes, we are indeed releasing the game tomorrow morning (That is, the morning of the 29th). It is true that Apple's review process can take some time, however, we had sent them an earlier build which they have already approved, so now the approval process should be pretty quick. I expect it to be on the App Store on the 29th or the following day, personally; but don't hold me to that, because it's out of my hands. In terms of pricing, we are selling 100 Rogues for $4.99.
When in doubt, detectivise! I don't know about Deliverace, but for 100 Rogues I just got sneaky... I just sniffed around the beta forums for a general idea of progress. Hopefully they wont shut me out now! I think they did submit in the past, about late Jan or Feb, but didn't release then because they wanted to throw more content in. If you try my sneaky route, there are some interesting threads by the developers about the general direction of the game back then. It is a) illuminating and b) shows the love and thoroughness being put into this title. So fear not! And don't forget that the developers have at least 3 forums they post to (two of which are their own) and also update on twitter and facebook. They might be a bit busy with that and bug quashing to get to TA. Now, back to lurking where maybe I shouldnt Edit: Ok, so Keith turns up while I'm composing. I'll be quiet now.
Well, this game surely IS anticipated. But please take your time. Better a delayed good game than jumping the gun, releasing a bug-ridden game.
Thanks for the response! INSTABUY!!!!! I love when a dev supports the game and listens to the fanbase. Cavern is the best for this. Good to know you are here and listening. It means the world, seriously. When developers listen and respond it tells me as a buyer and fan it is a true labor of love. When I get that vibe I will hype you until the end of the earth! I am now in heaven. Deftones Diamond Eyes on May 4th and 100 Rogues soon after if not before! Thanks for the time and effort!
Awwww, just looked at this post pointed out by the developers... Those sprites are just making me ache for this now. It's going to be great throwing another rogue-like on the phone. The platform seems so perfect for them!
The artwork and animations are fantastic! Can't wait to try another roguelike, since Sword of Fargoal really became my favorite game ever.
Those are some very great pixel animations. Damn I hope its out soon being that an early build was approved already.
maybe they'll consider doing an early adopter sale to boost street cred off the bat and get some stars on the appstore?
100 Rogues REMIX CONTEST More good news, for any of you who are musically inclined: We're launching a "100 Rogues Remix Contest". The soundtrack itself can be found here (mirror). Download it, listen, and REMIX AWAY! Please e-mail submissions to [email protected] Winners will receive limited edition artwork via mail and also free copies of the game! AWESOME! -Keith
The way it works is that since enough people have been looking forward to this, they can charge a higher price at first, because most of the people following it would buy it no matter what. Then they'll lower the price after a week to get additional sales.
Seriously? Apple might actually have it done by tomorrow? That would be utterly fantastic... But knowing Apple, I'm wary of being hopeful...
so... I should wait for it to go FREE like Fargoal did? (I bought Fargoal only days before it went free after watching it from 1.0) I'm so cheap I'll prolly buy this damned infernal contraption!!! I mean GAME... stupid money razzafrazza.... mumble...
