Spruchy posted:Eh, game is kind of catered for drinking and playing with friends. I don't see the argument here. It would be a fairly simple thing to implement pass-the-phone play for a party setting, and even without that stuff like Space Team took off in that sort of environment just because so many people own iOS devices to begin with. Proof that playing over the internet can be fun, too, also exists in the form of Pretend You're Xyzzy (although that game has some serious issues with UI).

Yeah I guess you guys are right, I personally just wouldn't want to play an IOS version after playing IRL a handful of times. But I'm sure the audience is definitely there.

If it were like that one Scrabble app a while back where the board was on an iPad and the hands/racks were on iphones/ipods, that would be so wonderfully needlessly neat.

marshmonkey posted:Speaking of Puzzle & Dragons... Pokemon's going to end up with IAP, I just know it.  Also how the gently caress does Nintendo have 15 billion in cash on hand? I know the 3DS is popular but I'd have figured the limp WiiU activity would've hurt more. Also the P&D company's shares are work over 13k each  KarmaticStylee posted:I won't buy because of in-app purchases and I guarantee that I'm not alone.. You're also pretty solidly in the minority for mobile gamers. There's a reason that IAP-based games sit in the top grossing slots barring the occasional (and brief) exception. It sucks, but the market is what it is. Funkmaster General posted:Has anyone done a Cards Against Humanity clone for iOS yet? Seems like a perfect fit for the platform. There's no way Apple would let something similar to Cards Against Humanity on to the app store. Half the default answer cards are things that they'd want nothing to do with.

What's up buddy? That game was fun. I'm getting better at the thing, but it really does take a few games/rounds to get used to each person you're playing with. Shellrazer is still hilariously fun and apparently only free this week in the appstore? I recommend it to people, as it is orky as balls.

Kenny Logins posted:Are you talking about a post Mission 19 mission, or? If so, any Mission 19 advice? Mission 19 pro tip: When you get in range of the spinning station, look for a short stubby little docked module on one of the 4 ends of the station. Click it and jettison it from the station. It should immediately stop the station from rotating. Then finish the mission normally by docking and bringing those Ruskies back! By the way, when you reenter the Russian crew module, don't worry about how much thruster fuel you have. The game doesn't throw wind at you, so all you need to do is pull the chute at the right moment.

Huh, the Triple Town devs are working on a "roguelike puzzler" and it looks gorgeous. Don't know many details on gameplay but if we're talking about the genre currently occupied by games like Zaga-33 and Desktop Dungeons I am all in. Edit: speaking of Zaga-33 I slept on that game for a long time and holy poo poo is it great. I currently can't make it very past the early 20's or so but if someone's better at the game than me who reads this I'd appreciate tips! goferchan fucked around with this message at 23:45 on May 13, 2013 |

Small White Dragon posted:With a lot of licensed properties, there are on-going costs (direct or indirect), and after a while the costs in keeping the license alive are just not justified by the revenue. In addition, unless I'm wrong (in which case im sure one of the devs in this thread can correct me!) if you fail to renew your $100/year Apple developer license, your stuff doesn't stay on the App Store.

DIEGETIC SPACEMAN posted:Can anyone recommend a game like The Incredible Machine for the iPad? I know there was an actual TIM port, but since it's apparently been pulled from the app store I'm on the hunt for something similar to it. Rovio, the makers of Angry Birds, have a couple titles you might be interested in, though neither are iPad exclusive: The Amazing Alex is a great little game where you play a kid who makes contraptions out of toys very much in the vein of The Incredible Machine. It's got a level editor and a nice interface for downloading user-made levels which gives the game a lot of legs. Bad Piggies, though not exactly what you're asking for, is an arcade puzzler that sees you assuming the roles of the evil pigs from Angry Birds, building custom contraptions to transport the pigs through levels. It's great fun and absolutely charming.

KarmaticStylee posted:This too. Eclipse and Ace Patrol just came out and will keep me busy for quite a long time. Still, I'd consider a mindless 99 center if it didn't contain in app purchases. I really don't understand the personal offense people take about the presence of IAP. The only reason some games can be priced at 99 cents or for free at all is IAP. For many of these games, Crabitron included, there is no additional fun from buying IAP - in essence, your cheap fun is being subsidized by other, less spendthrifty people. Games that are balanced around IAP can be deeply disappointing but to reject all games with IAP wholesale is to miss out on some legitimately good games.

If I'm paying, I want to know I'm getting a real game that is not balanced around IAP. edit- If Crabitron's IAP are pointless then they probably lost a ton of sales by adding them and scaring away potential buyers.

Evil Fluffy posted:Pokemon's going to end up with IAP, I just know it. That article is mixing up cash on hand versus market capitalisation. Market cap is just (number of shares) * (share price) and is kinda meaningless. It's like all the articles that came out last year about how Apple is "the biggest company in the world." All it means is that for a time their share price went really high.

I love roguelikes, but I simply can't do the ascii thing. I can never, ever remember what every letter is supposed to represent, and it just leads to making stupid decisions and dying even more pointless deaths than is the norm for your average rogelike.

Weissritter posted:Sid Meier's Ace Patrol is a great game which you control WWI planes in turn-based dogfights. A fun little game but there isn't much point in playing past the British campaign, the others are so similar. I really wish there was a meaty strategy game worth playing on this platform. No forced waiting around, no 'check every few hours', no 'meh you'll be finished in 3 hours'....just an honest to god good game. There's too much crap out there.

man, those looking for something to scratch the strategy itch, check out Kingturn: http://toucharcade.com/2013/05/09/kingturn-rpg-review-a-brilliant-ios-tactical-battle-game/ The prologue is free and rather lengthy, you then pay for the full game if you want to continue. I'm five scenarios in and I will definitely pay to unlock the rest of it, it's a great little turn-based strategy RPG. Definitely watch the tutorial video first otherwise you'll have no freaking idea what's going on. It may look like pants, but there's plenty going on under the hood and it's even got a silly Clash of Heroes-style storyline thrown in. If you're like me you'll also try rushing and get absolutely demolished, only to learn that slow and steady wins the race.
