I only just started playing but so far I have noticed a few things 1. There is a lack of content on the first floor and also that stairway on the first room was misleading and I thought I had to go down there for a bit. 2. I don't like the combat so far but maybe I will get used to it. 3. You could make a selection if you want to point and click or use a control pad in an options menu if you get around to it. Now to your questions! How does it play? Do You like it? Hate it? Why? Personally I don't like point n click but it plays well. Are the levels too short or too long? The first floor was a great length but had a lack of enemies the 2nd floor was even better with the amount of enemies. Picking up items from chests and enemies this is great putting rare enemy drops on certain enemies would definitely add to how much someone would want to play. What do you think of the auto map The auto map is very helpful but maybe a function could be implemented that would make the map stay on your screen so you don't have to keep clicking the menu button. What do you expect from the auto save I expect that every time I go down a floor It auto saves there should also just be a save function. Well done on your game so far Dylan I'm sure it will be great -Scott A
Thanks again for checking, Josh! LazyGamer: go for it! Another update on Dwarf Quest: received a lot of great feedback from the testers group. Already made a number of improvements based on everyone's comments, especially interface-wise. Also, the main and level music tracks are in, and they are awesome! They won't be included in a test build until beta, but I think you guys will like them quite a bit. In addition, the first custom 3D character models arrived last week: the dwarf and a monster. It's really rewarding to see the game come to life and find its own identity! Next up: level design, which includes a list of props and interactive elements. I know I said the goal was to release Dwarf Quest in Q1, but I might have to spend a little more effort on this to make it extra nice.
So any news on this? Giving it more time for extra quality always is a good idea, but it is a little too quiet in this topic.
Thanks a lot for your interest, LazyGamer! It's been way too long since my last post, definitely. Been a bit busy with freelance work and everything, but I certainly have been working on Dwarf Quest as well. The GUI is still placeholder, but most of the character and level graphics are starting to take shape. Combat is still turn-based, and more elegant since I got rid of the icons. It's mostly level building from this point on, aiming for a Universal release on all iOS devices in June. A few screenshots: Thanks again for your interest!
Thanks mjonesgraphics and geppetto! Update: Just sent Dwarf Quest v0.50 to our group on TestFlight. Levels 4 and 5 are now included, although they are still a bit rough. Lots of new environment textures thanks to Jimmy Livefjord, improving the overall look and feel of the game. On-screen tips help new players get started. In level 4, our hero enters the caverns. Even though I won't be able to release the game this month, I'm happy and confident about its progress. Hopefully you guys will bear with me and patiently wait for it. In the meantime, please feel free to like the Dwarf Quest page on Facebook. I appreciate your interest!
Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know work on Dwarf Quest is going well, lots of progress is being made. The release date of August 24th is still my target, so that means crunch-time for the next few weeks! You are being watched! Also, I am proud to announced that the talented Stolen Couch Games team is working on the logo, graphic user interface and app icon! As many of you will know, they did a great job on Kids vs Goblins. In case you haven't "liked" Dwarf Quest on Facebook yet: why not do so now? You'll find playthrough movies of the original Dwarf Quest games there... I made those in 1992, which is 20 years ago! Thanks for your interest, everyone!
The game is nearing completion, folks! With the new GUI in place, extra music, "battle cards" to boost your skills in combat and of course an end boss... it's all taking shape. Be sure to like us on Facebook, and keep an eye out for the game when it releases on August 24th!
Will this be released this Thursday? Also, could you post any gameplay video and some info such as gow many levels etc
Hi Juan, thanks for asking. The game consists of nine levels, including two bosses. Dwarf Quest has been submitted to Apple for review last week, so if all goes according to plan it will be available this Friday, August 24th. The trailer will go live on that very same day!
