DaGreen - All billing is handled through the appstore so gift cards are still usable. As for a monthly fee Empire is an online game which means that we having ongoing server costs so having a single price purchase isn't a realistic option for us.
Just a quick update on this - we were rejected again for more subscription related issues. While frustrating we've been in touch with Apple and have hopefully found a solution that will allow Empire to escape the submission process blackhole that it's currently trapped in.
Hi, Lee, good to see you here! Sorry to hear about your submission woes. I've been looking forward to playing this since you showed it to me at GDC last year. Hope the wait will be over soon... good luck! - Mike
Hey Guys, Just a quick update, the game is currently 'In Review' so hopefully we'll be through the approval process soon. Mike - Hey! I look forward to hearing what you think after a more thorough play through. It's been a long road but I think the game is undeniably better for it.
Well folks it looks like we've finally made it through the submission process unscathed and Empire will be available 'soon'. I say soon, and not immediately because we may have to delay the release by a week for marketing purposes. Obviously, we'd like to push the release button right this second but sometimes timing is everything; the better Empire does the more resources we'll have to devote to it so it's important that we get it right from the start. Hopefully we'll be able to give a concrete date in the near future but worse case scenario this shouldn't delay us passed 5/24.
Awesome, can't wait to play! It's not as hard to wait when you know there's a definitive end in sight.
Well. No single player mode. That's why I haven't even downloaded it yet. I will gladly purchase a single player mode.
