Hi guys,
First, congratulation for this constructive board!
I would like to take some time to present myself and maybe tease you a little while you are waiting for updates.
I'm Thierry, one of the programmer of the game and proud member of that small ACR team.
You already know we listen to you, but we clearly need to give you more feedback on the game and that's what we will try to do from now. We will try to answer your questions the more transparently as we can and gladly discuss about your suggestions (good or bad).
Here is what's in progress. We are working on the next update. In fact we are near to send it to Apple.
That update will includes new challenges for the single player mode (and believe me, some of them are real challenge).
It will also fix most of the gameplay (memories) bugs we have seen on the forums. Of course, some will remain, and will be fixed later (because at some time we should just say, let's release the progress we have done so far). I'll try to provide you a list of the important fixes shortly.
Some changes on the credits/xp you earn will be done. It should be simplified and a little more encouraging.
The general stability of the game should be better and will be even beter in the next updates because it's really something important for us.
There are other less minor things we have done, but I haven't a clear list in my head (I'm not at work right now).
After that coming update, what can you expect?
We are working on an iPhone/iPod (with retina display) port. No promises here. It's still a bit early to talk about it because we are still experimenting. And yes, we are worried about the small screen, but we'll try to adjust some of the elements to make it more playable. The goal is really to give the opportunity to iPhone/iPod users to try our game. Will they have a small disavantage against iPad users? Maybe... But they should have equal fun!
For you on this forum, it might not be such a big news because if you are here it's probably because you already play the game on the iPad. But maybe you know friends who don't own an iPad and will be happy to hear about that.
Other ports are also to be considered, but no progress at this time. We are a very small team, so we can't work on everything at the same time and you are all waiting for my next point.... The auction house.
This is going to happen, but you'll have to be a little more patient. It will take time to be made properly. But it's very high priority on our list. Expect at least two monthes before seeing it. Yes, I know it may be long for some of you but we really try to make it happen the sooner as we can. In the meantime, you can throw your suggestions. When possible we could integrate them.
On the Matchmaking part, this is something we will try to have just after the coming update. It's also high priority on our list and since it's easier than the auction house and iPhone, it will appear sooner.
If there are Japanese fan here, you might be glad to hear the Japanese version is coming as well. In fact, it's quite ready, but still need some testing, so you can expect it at the same time as the new matchmaking.
More news to come... so stay tuned!
