    Hi everyone! :)

    I'm Travis, one of the devs on Autumn Dynasty. We've been a little quiet for awhile, but that's because we've been working on an all-iOS universal version of the game!



    We've worked hard to redesign the user interface from the ground up to accommodate smaller screens, as well as make it universal for iPads, iPhones and iPod touches. Matches between iPads and iPhones are now possible, and mostly fair-- depending on skill level. :) We've also added a new instant action Blitz mode which I hope you might enjoy!

    Those who already own the game will receive the universal version for free, and we're working with Bulkypix to do a price drop on launch day. If you're thinking of getting it, you might want to wait for the day itself (13th Dec) to make a purchase. No in-app purchases on this one. :)

    That is great, have been waiting forever to get this game. The screenshot shows iPhone 5 support obviously, but what about previous devices?

    One of the iPad releases I have been waiting the longest and hardest to see ported. Together with the already released Bastion, the possibility of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for smaller screens, and the long-lost promise of the Aquaria devs to consider an iPhone port, all I really need to to not have to glare in jealousy at iPad owners is for Jeff Vogel to follow the example of all these great, and above all, progressive devs.

    @EnterNexus: We've been working hard to make it compatible with previous devices-- the old ones have different maximum texture sizes. We've tested it on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4/4S, iPad Mini and iPod Touch 4G. :)

    @oooooomonkey: Thanks! We really appreciate it! :)

    @bramblett05: Yes, it does work on an iPod touch! In the video, the white device 0:33 is a Touch 4G.

    Just as an update, here's a brief preview of the new Blitz mode, which allows players to skip the buildup and get into the action more quickly! :)

    Dang . . . There goes my Christmas Break. Any word on whether the 4th Gen iPod Touch will be supported? I remember reading that the original iPad is supported. Here's hoping!

    As it stands, the chance of actually winning a copy from that contest is higher than 20%...

    Just for the record, I actually bought this game even though I still don't own an iPad. It looked and sounded that good :D Stoked to be able to play it, and do plan on eventually getting an iPad . . .

    I have already have my copy, it was a good buy, but being as stingy as I am with my money I would recommend waiting for the discounted price at launch.

    AND in the meanwhile there are only 153 people in the "Competwition" that's giving away 30 free copies. Ends in less than 2 days too.

    I'm curious - is this game similar to any other established RTS games? Obviously the art style is pretty unique, but do the mechanics/gameplay compare to other RTSs?

    I'm also curious to see how well this translates to the mini-screen. It looks like playing will be manageable, but nowhere near as fluid as the iPad's 10 inch screen.
