Panic over. According to TA it's fucked with IAPs. So download with caution.
Shame though, it's an utterly amazing concept.
As if it wasn't obvious from that trailer.

Random Heroes is out in NZ, comes out in the States tonight at 11. It should be an instabuy for most folks.
Have you guys tried Trigger Fist? ...
Not amazing by any means, but fun. Level design is pretty good too, even with the limitation of being in one plane only. Some fun modes, like a "oddball" mode where you carry and protect a goat (yeah). Graphics and sound are meh, but get the job done.
Even on android it's the same thing.It doesn't surprise me. I mean that in NO negative way - the iOS market is a miserable platform to work with because of the mentality of most of the audience. SO many people wait to get games for free or on sale for $0.99 (because $1.99 -> $0.99 gold I guess). I'm guilty of waiting for sales, but that's only on titles I'm not terribly interested in. If I have ANY interest in a game, I'll pay full price.
It's sad, really.
K so after looking at it FOREVER and seeing every update have AWESOME content, I'm finally about to pull the trigger on Starbase Orion. Are the people (sorry I forgot your names) who used to play coop in it still doing that? Or if not, willing to pick it up again? I distinctively remember 2 or 3 people in here... Let me know.
Here's a depressing story about Mikengreg, the developers of Solipskier and Gasketball. According to the article they're homeless at the moment because they're just not making the kind of money they needed to get by with their new game.

Kingdom Rush should satisfy all your TD needs.
I can't stop this run in Dungeon Raid. I'm up to level 250 or something. Can't stop.
looks like a good week for iPhone games: http://toucharcade.com/2012/08/15/coming-tonight-37/
Flip's Escape (by the Last Rocket devs)
Mad Skills BMX
Random Heroes (League of Evil devs)
Tread of the Dead looks kind of interesting too
I think the mentality that one can spend two years working on a game with an optional 2.99 IAP and expect to make a living is just as damaging if not moreso than the "wait for a sale" mentality.
When people were making flash games for a very similar audience they rarely quit their jobs. It should be the same with iOS. Until you can build a team and a reputation and get good games out in a reasonable time frame with (this is really key) ADEQUATE PROMOTION, you shouldn't be declaring yourself a professional developer, or quitting your old job as a professional developer.
All those early successes have really messed with people's heads. I don't think Richard Garriot or whoever quit their job at the PC store before enough checks rolled in on Alakazam and Ultima. The Team Meat guys worked real jobs during their flash game days. The same needs to apply here. Be businessmen, and stop expecting iOS to just pay by virtue of being available or getting a preferred app slot for a week.
No. It's just not 2008 anymore. Games are releasing by the dozen daily. Guys with good business sense are doing great on various platforms. But you never hear about someone quitting their job because their game might get on Steam; the iOS scene inspires a haphazardness that other indie-friendly platforms don't. Quit your job when you get VC money or when you make enough to support you and another dev for several years. Until then, keep working.
I just don't buy pricing excuses. You go lower on iOS for sure. But games like the Spiderweb RPGs do very well at $10 with rare sales to boost word of mouth. If the game is there, and it isn't just like 50 other releases that week, and you can get people aware of its existence, then you can make some good money as an indie dev.

FYI this Thursday is going to be one of the best in months.
Three truly great games, in very different categories. Several B-tier games that also have potential to be great (haven't played them all yet).
Mind sharing which games? They all look rather sub-par to me.
Play with me Smiley!!! We can play Ascension, SO, and GW2 4ever and ever.
And yea, those guys push some really feature rich updates.
Ugh, I was so excited for Random Heroes, but I'm really not feeling it.
Stiff controls
Difficult to jump on platforms/over enemies
Shitty IAP
Barely any levels
Moronic enemies
Very disappointed.
Haven't played in a while but yeah I think I was one of those people. GC is the same as GAF name.K so after looking at it FOREVER and seeing every update have AWESOME content, I'm finally about to pull the trigger on Starbase Orion.

This is how Happy Street is for me.All the guns cost money and you can grind for them (in increments of coins worth 1.00 or 5.00!) or buy coins. Ugh.
Also, achievements glitched. They keep popping up over and over.
Playdek sale guys and gals.
Ascension - 99cents (and expansions too)
Fight Fight - 99cents
Nightfall - 99cents
Summoner Wars - Free but the decks are all on sale.
Pick up Ascension if you haven't already.
Starbase Orion still grabs me, played a "quick" 2 hour game. What an excellent game.
The long awaited feature Diplomacy is slated for the next 1.1.7 update to boot!
So, then, it's like Civ? It's not one, long game? I could dig that.
This is how Happy Street is for me.
Puzzle Craft and Dominion. I don't think I can talk about the third until it actually goes up. People should be able to guess. Or maybe some sites are talking about it. IDK. I'm working late tonight and haven't looked.
Has anyone tried Horn yet ? It looks kindof interesting, but the HUGE MASSIVE price puts me off a little.
Quick question about the CAVE games. Bug Princess 2 Black Label is just a upgraded version of Bug Princess 2, so I should get the Black Label version if I don't own BP2?
Yeah, so, I don't know how pervasive the IAP in Puzzle Craft is, but the core game itself is like crack to me so far.

I bet it goes f2p

Anyone know what this Mystery Game is? Also, didn't know Dominion was this week. Looks like I'll be digging in the couch for a few dollars.
I think so.Thanks, I bought the expansions for Ascension. Is the "Promo Pack" worth it?
Kingdom Rush is kicking my ass, which makes the game a love/hate thing. I LOVE that the game is fun and that it's challenging, but I HATE feeling terrible at the game, haha.
Just saw that it's out. Looks somewhat interesting but im not convinced it has acceptable controls. No reviews yet?
