new build + screenshot 1 updated to reflect current state of game and screenshot added for worldmap. We are thinking of changing the world names because of how the pre req forking works, you may unlock world 1-4 before 1-3 for example. Any ideas?
so far 0.837 is running good not seeing any bugs yet... as far as world names, i would call the level 1 maps tutorial maps cause they are tutorials. later in the game the area goes from forest to volcanic to ice so maybe something along those lines for names?... they are broken down by area. i mean as a player i saw that 1-2 and 1-3 got unlocked in my mind i chose the lowest first before doing the higher level so really shouldn't need to make a difference. i haven't gotten past 2-2 as every update i start over to make sure the bugs are squashed which they are starting to become few and far between haven't noticed anything yet. But do the skills get explained at all later?
Did you not understand how to see the skills? the text at the bottom says to hold your finger on one to see the description. One other person had this issue to so let me know. I may need to change how that works if its not clear.
Game is looking and running great, so much content to unlock! I've got one small issue, maybe I'm just missing something but I'm currently level 7 with about 800 xp to go before I level up. I've passed all worlds available to me, 1-1 - 1-8 and can't unlock any more till I'm level 10. Also can't open any extra game modes till I'm level 8, only thing I can do is replay previous levels, but now that I have already beat those levels I'm only getting 5-10 xp at the most. In order to get to level 8 its going to take a lot of level grinding. Is there a way to level up faster or something else I can do so I'm not just replaying the same 8 levels? Any thoughts from any of the other beta testers, how did you guys get past this?
Yes it turns out I made a mistake on that. Another tester reported the same. I will be correcting the issue.
well i meant a better way to introduce the skills. like when you first get to the map screen, should have a thing pop up to explain the skills like in the tutorial levels. as it is now they kind of are a after thought.
New build works great! I was able to rock the endurance levels in stage one to boost me up high enough to unlock stage 2.
Just an FYI. This game is being sent to apple monday! Thanks to all the people who helped test. It was very very helpfull!
looks like the all bugs have been squashed been playing through it.... glad to be apart of it minus getting the worse flu ive ever had.... took me down for over a week. so im sorry i couldnt of been more of a help but at least the bugs i found are all fixed!
I loved the original Gemcraft games. Spent many hours playing "Chapter 0". I was pretty excited seeing the title on the front page. Unfortunatelly I was very dissapointed seeing what you've done with the game. Thanks to its graphics Gemcraft was spooky. It made you feel alone against the evil forces (the sound was adding to that too, but still the art played a major part, imo). I cannot find any of this mood here. I know that smaller screen requires the objects to be bigger, but still you could have stick closer to the original. Also, numerous structures are drawn from different perspectives, which doesn't look good in a top view. Sorry for all that, but I was really hoping for a port of the original game. At least there's a new chapter of Gemcraft available online. Good luck with the game anyway. Other gamers, unbiased with the original game probably won't mind the new art style
^ I also prefer the original art style to this new one, but I'm just glad to see GemCraft in some form on the iOS, even if it's changed. @GHG: Any ETA on the release date?
Hi all, I've been waiting for gemcraft to come to the iPhone for the last 12 months. I stumbled across this thread a few weeks ago and have been following it closely ever since. Needless to say, I'm excited! Excited enough to register on this site to ask one little question: "Do we have an ETA on the release?" I'm wearing down my battery by constantly checking the Apple Store every hour hoping to see it in the new releases.
