I'm pleased to announce that the epic turn-based strategy game Battle for Wesnoth will be available soon for the iPad!

With much more viewable map area, planning your battle strategies just got a whole lot easier.

All graphics have been updated to take advantage of the larger screen.

A "picture-in-picture" view, so you can really appreciate how much better this game will be on the iPad!

Most other games seem to be launching for the iPad at $4.99 or $9.99. So Battle for Wesnoth HD will be $.99

Wait.... What?? :eek:

That's right, we want everyone to experience this amazing game! With over 300 hours of gameplay and major monthly updates, this is a must buy for all iPad gamers! :D

99 cents!!!????

I won't even have an iPad when this comes out and I'll still purchase it so I can play as soon as I do get one!


Any chance for some way to share save data between my iphone and the ipad version?

Breath in, breath out, breath in...ONLY .99???!!!!! Typo???? You got to be kidding me!!!!!

My guess is that there will be in app purchases(not that I mind)

Great. Here comes the 99c push. Way to ruin the market.

The app looks pretty good (in fact, very much improved over the iPhone version), but I don't want the iPad store to turn into a "$2 is too expensive" market.

getting this on ipad for 99c is one of the greatest deals in the history of videogaming. Nobody should have an ipad and not own this.

Wow, talk about ungrateful. So no dev can ever put their app on sale because the whole AppStore is going to implode with all the price drops this will cause?

Until Apple irons out a way for devs to give a discount, like getting wesnoth HD for a reduced price because I own wesnoth for iPhone, expect a lot of devs to do limited sales which they promote to their users as a thank you for buying their apps.

Yes, the price will be fixed at $0.99. That is for the whole shebang, no silly in-app purchases. Just really great value. But the desktop versions are still free ;)

Kyle - you got my buck on launch day. It is a hard game for me, very complex, but gorgeous, and the current screen shots look amazing.

Thanks!

Hi Kyle, I bought the game already for my touch. I live in the UK so will not be able to lay my hands on an ipad until later in April. If we ask nicely is there any chance you could re-run the 99c deal for the week of the uk release? If you can I'm happy to buy it again Kyle. (Hopefully you are in a generous mood)

are you sure about this? by being a launch app you're already guranteed good sales even at 4.99 or 9.99

It might...all of the content is there already. All Kyle has to do is worry about graphical touches and memory consumption and a few more minor details...and with a price like 99c nobody should be complaining.

Kyle Poole

Silly question, but I'm guessing this won't make the April 3rd launch day release, right?

Apple has said that only apps submitted by March 27 would appear as launch titles. The only problem is that the sdk is still in beta, and there is no OpenFeint for the big screen yet...

Also I have to optimize the rendering a lot to display on such a bigger screen, but I should be ready to submit in a few days.

Looks great! I’ll be sure to get it when I gat an iPad in a few months.

Easily over $10 of value, so whatever happens to the price between now and when I buy, I will not complain :) But if the .99 madness continues, I will surely not complain either!

Kyle,

My advice to you is to take your time. Don't rush. Maybe use it for a while on your iPad before you release it to make sure it is just so. I think that as long as you have it out by around the end of April, that is plenty soon enough.

Of course, my attitude might be because I have to wait until then to get the 3G version, and I am jealous of everyone else getting to play before me. :)

Now that looks like fun. It'll actually be more profitable at 99c since a lot more iPad owners would buy it. But if this is honestly as good as you say, I wouldn't mind paying $2 to $4 for it.

I'm not sure; I think the initial "omg my new toy" buying spree will give iPad owners plenty of reason to spend money on their new toy. Plus, I don't think there's going to be much competition in the RPG/Strategy space at launch for Kyle to worry about. I'm concerned that he's leaving money on the table by not charging $1.99 as his "el cheapo" price.

This may be true, but then there's people like me. I appreciate but rarely play most turn-based strategy games because I'm terrible at them (Heroes of Might and Magic almost made me cry). But being able to pick up a well-received game for $0.99 near launch when most of the big names are apparently going to be borderline-overpriced? Makes me think maybe it's time to give it another go.

Besides, Battle for Wesnoth is a long-standing free PC game, and most of the porting work has already been done thanks to the iPhone version. Combine that with the iPad screen size being closer to the PC's screen size, so less modification is needed, and it makes sense that this would be cheaper than the iPhone version (although I understand the iPhone version is also getting a price drop to $0.99 soon?).

Just because it's iPad doesn't mean it needs to be $$$.

One of the most requested features for Wesnoth is the ability to sync saved games between desktop versions, iPhone and iPad. Well I'm happy to announce that this will be coming up in Episode 5! Now you can continue playing whether you are at your desk with your PC, on your couch with your iPad, or standing in line with your iPhone! :D

Aside from Lux Delux, Wesnoth is my favorite iPhone app, the thought of the extra screen real estate actually being used to show more of the map in Wesnoth is too awesome for words. I guess with the customs hangup it'll be a few more weeks of settling for the screen doubler on the iPad tho :(

I'm really interested in getting this, however I have a concern. If I buy it on the iPhone and start playing it once the iPad version comes out will I have to start all over or will the ability to save and load regardless of platform be installed in the iPad edition and an update for the iPhone version?

I just don't want to invest 30 hours to have to start all over.

I will not get this game until you raise the price to at least $2.99! :mad:



:D

I own Battle for Wesnoth for the iPod touch, and it's one of my favorite games. Many thanks to you and the community!

The Battle for Wesnoth is a game that every strategy I should play at least once. Though it is turn based, its heavy emphasis on combat keeps the game moving and avoids the boring lulls that other turn-based games are susceptible to. It also boasts a unique set of mechanics that allow for a much broader range of conflicts,

Holy crapola!

Got my iPad finally, and Wesnoth HD is amazing!! :D Framerate is great like 40fps, loading is super quick like 10 seconds.

Just have to fix up a few things and should submit in a day or two

Damn it Kyle. Didn't see your name up there just Wesnoth HD and RAN TO ITUNES. You have failed me! Hurry up :D

Can we agree to not post on this topic until the developer posts... IT'S IN THE APP STORE?

I keep getting let down seeing new posts that could say "The game is out"... however all past posts are from users saying "the wait is killing me".

What date? Also how long does it normally take? I suspect it will be out end of next week.. Seems the iPad apps are slowing down for releases or maybe Im wrong but it seems there are less apps for iPad coming out than the iPhone..

Awesome news! Can't wait untill this finally comes out. I kinda liked it on the iPhone but always felt the screen was too small...not a problem anymore :)

This is one of the biggies to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for an iPad release so quickly after you got yours. And your .99 is, of course, wickedly fair for this game. Kudos!

This is a great model for open source game development as regular donations for them are usually very lean.

Are you listening, Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Free Orion, and Planet M.U.L.E.?

Hmmm still "In Review"... Come on Apple, let other people play! Wesnoth is by far the most anticipated iPad game, with over 11,000 page views here on the touchArcade forums!! :D

They're probably having too much fun with the game and forgot to put it on the AppStore :p

Yep, so far out of all the iPad games i've tried, only Dungeon Hunter has really held my attention. Wesnoth can't come soon enough!

Having said that, i do love my new ipad :)

How long could it take ... I think it is really time ... the longer it take the better is the chance that they reject it ... :confused:

i reckon jeffyg3 was on the money - Apple reviewers are so busy playing it they've forgotten to approve it.

The sad part is I have not played this past the tutorial on osx or iphone yet i dont want to have to start over etc since there is no way to currently save the game and play on other devices

I know kyle said in episode 5 that is being added hower this will be episode 4 and i wish he would just add that as a patch for all versions now so I can play the wait is killing me
