Shalinor posted:Go to the TestFlightApp.com website, and download the app from there (it'll redirect). It's in the app store, but I could never find it just with searching. I swear to god I'm not THAT big of an idiot but maybe I am or maybe their website sucks rear end but where the hell do I do that? I see a desktop app, a developer SDK, and... nothing else... [edit] Oh there's a TINY little text line that says "Email me the link so I can install it on my device..." So let's chalk that up to sleep deprived father of a newborn + idiotic web design.

The problem with Temple Run 2 is as someone mentioned last page. In a genre Imangi basically created, they have already been surpassed. Right now, from what I can tell, Temple Run 2 offers 2 things: 1) Better graphics 2) A little more variety in obstacles Games like Agent Dash have already done that and then some.

gently caress YESSSS! Let's put it this way... I played the console demo of HOMM:COH and decided NOT to buy it over a year ago strictly on the HOPE that it would come to IOS because it just felt like that's where it belonged! YAY!

Dewgy posted:I'm noticing. It's pretty in a way that reminds me of Crash Bandicoot for reasons I'm not quite sure of, and someone in here said it was better than Temple Run I think, so apparently they were wrong. I'll probably keep plodding along every so often but it's a shame it's not a little more fun to do so. You can't be wrong about an opinion, but for the record I wasn't actually saying Agent Dash was better than Temple Run. Just that Agent Dash already did Temple Run again ( and added more to the mix) than Temple Run did, thus kind of beating Temple Run 2 to the punch thereby making it rather iterative and pointless. (TR2)

I don't think the game gets HATE in the technical sense. It became somewhat of an APP-DEV meme of like, "1 step forward, 3 steps back" that I think this forum just kinda laughed and slapped their foreheads at, the hate came when the dev opened his mouth... about like anything, ever.

Little Inferno is great. You get these hints from early on that it's got a dark sub-layer, and it just bubbles up slowly but surely. I really dig it. Feenix fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Feb 5, 2013 |

Little Inferno's true genius is in the mood it sets. Better than almost any other game I've played (on any platform). And it does so with only one set piece, and very limited mechanics. It manages to be quirky and cute with this subtext of dark, Edward Gorey-esque macabre that peeks through more and more as you play. I haven't finished it yet but it wouldn't feel out of place to have some golden-era Twilight Zone ironic twist ending.

I'm a bit put off by the lack of a tilt calibration in Real Racing 3. Whether software fault or my iPhone's accelerometer being a touch off, it feels like when I "go straight" it pulls to the left. But in my mind, my iPhone is straight, sooo... also: it runs pretty nice on my iPhone 5. I do notice stutters though. Which just means that I dare not even try it on my iPad 3, huh?

Real Racing has already adjusted its timers and such to be more forgiving. Repairs are instant. Service timers are... Lessened.

UncleSmoothie posted:Why the heck would they do that? I thought it had be pretty clearly established that anyone complaining about the timers was a whining baby idiot who needed to get with the times. Can we get off this? It's been "established" by people who have differing opinions than other people. On the internet. Firemonkey and EA are in the business of making money. And in so doing, some modicum of "pleasing customers" (or at the very least, not coming off like Satan Incarnate) is obviously going to be the order of the day. This is why you do soft launches in less relevant territories. Acting like the overwhelming public opinion is that "Shut up, quit being cheap, you panzy" just because there are 2 vocal sides to an argument on the more volatile discussion forums is taking it a bit far. Real Racing 3 is an interesting milestone (no pun intended) in not only racing games on a mobile platform, but F2P games that offer more substantive gameplay. Love it or hate it, SOMEONE has to go first. And when they do, there's definitely going to be some stumbling and whatnot to find a good equilibrium between "profitable-but-fair" and "exploitative".

UncleSmoothie posted:I was making a joke on the Something Awful Dot Com Internet Comedy Forums. I get that. And I'm sorry if it seemed like I was singling you out. We just had like 3 pages of the most inane argument over this, and rehashing it, even in joke form, just stirs the pot. Anyway, aside from my jumping all over you, I think I had some valid points in there near the end. This is new territory in a way, and I think it's interesting to see how it gets pioneered.

Dickweasel Alpha posted:Personally I think it started with fornicating amphibians If this is a serious post, I don't think this is true. Pocket Frogs was an F2P game, and also a pretty fun one. What I am talking about though, is the F2P-ization of larger scale, "hardcore" (if you will) games. Monetizing those with IAP seems fraught with more potential pitfalls and missteps. I think it will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

Ok, Legit Real Racing 3 talk: 1) I have an iPad 3. I find the "performance" of the game (read: Framerate) to be, oh, just a hair south of acceptable. It stutters a lot. 2) This is definitely made LESS acceptable, when you compare it to your experiences on an iPhone 5 (almost never hitches, very rock solid.) 3) Not that I'll likely still be playing this then, but given the tilt steering, and the beefy processing needed, this game would be basically IDEAL on some future version of the iPad Mini that runs better processors and such. Good size/weight for Tilting, and hopefully no chugging. Does this game support iCloud, multiple device profiles?

As in, press the button, and a sound goes off and you are repaired. SERVICING still takes time. That said, I just did dumb poo poo. I assumed the timers could run concurrently. So I had a 30 minute service and was like, ok might as well also do any other <30 minute servicing. Sure enough, I didn't realize they queue. (Which makes sense, sadly.)

I just took the Focus for a spin and ended up with 6 repairs needed at the end of the race after using the other cars as braking points. 2minutes 15 seconds worth. I *think* that's a third of what it was when I played last night but I'm not 100% certain. Still peanuts, repairs weren't the big hassle.

Not MUCH time, but time.

Shalinor posted:If anyone else was vaguely curious about Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead, it also went free. I tried to use one of those BluControl jailbreak tweaks with the iCade 8-Bitty, thinking "oh yeah, this, with a controller will work nicely." No dice. Not sure where the disconnect was, but it didn't work right. I'm tempted (as always) to blame the lovely mapping of the 8-Bitty.

goferchan posted:I haven't played it but there's a game based on the Wargames movie that seems really similar and is apparently good. Dungeon Story is also pretty similar and a little more rough around the edges and a little less balanced than Dungeon Raid, but still fun-- also it's been receiving pretty regular updates since release. Puzzle Craft is also worth checking out, it's like FarmVille crossed with Dungeon Raid and I somehow mean that as a compliment. As a fan of Dungeon Raid, I tried Wargames thinking it would feel like a cheap knockoff... But it was actually really fun. That said, it is *fairly* similar, so it depends on what aspect of DR you are a bit burnt on... But it's really entertaining.

Beelzebozo posted:I don't know how safe that assumption is anymore. They've made a lot of really bad business of video games decisions in the last two years, like betting half their warchest on the 2004 MMO model and the Star Wars license. And even if they know a lot about the business of console and PC video games, that doesn't necessarily imply a vast amount of transferable knowledge to the smartphone space. Those markets are pretty different. It's a safe assumption they still know more than you or I. At least about how to make money in their chosen business space...

Man, I feel like an rear end, but I'll be that guy. I just do NOT have the patience, etc for Year Walk. I get that it's artsy and evocative and creepy, and leaves it all for the player to discover, but I don't want to feel THIS aimless when I'm loving around on my iPad on the couch. I just don't enjoy being totally lost, or having to write every thing down. Shame because it looks like neat stuff to look at...

All opinions welcome, but I'm mostly speaking to the esteemed iOS devs up in this piece... I moved to Seattle 5 months ago, whereby I work from home. I also have a 10 week old son. So I'm home like, a lot. A LOT! I've always had strong opinions about games/game design. But zero technical know-how. Anyway, the wife suggested I look into a class or hobby to cure my boredom and get me out of the house occasionally. And couple that with eeenmachine telling me a while back that I should learn to code and make an app (and pointing me to that Polymer dude's blog which was a pretty cool read.) Anyway, for someone who knows nothing computer-languagey other than some basic SQL, what would be the best FIRST coding language to learn that would be applicable to ios game/app coding? Thanks for your input!
