Thanks for the nomination for GOTW, EnterNexus and slamraman! We're excited about this. Quite a few games I like this week, tough competition!

Small update just went live - the game should now be in full retina now (like it matters, eh?) and it fixes a minor gameplay bug.

Do you know what I love? Usually I get this dreaded feeling when I need to update a game. "Oh god, slow bandwidth, this is gonna take hours". With this game it took like a few seconds, and I can dive back to it again. For that, I am grateful !

Hello, I have been playing this game often, it's just so easy to get into even though I have a bunch of flashy 3d games laying around. There s a thing that's bugging me though: Game Center. The stats screen is awesome, yes, but outdoin myself gets boring after awhile. Achievements and that don't matter to me, just a leader board that shows who is the top players would make me happy and make this game even more enjoyable.

As a side note, I'm pretty sure you guys made Minimae, and I can't find a thread dedicated to that game, so I ll just mention it here, I believe there was talks of a sequel in a making isn't there? If so, how far is it in development?

Great to hear It was actually the first game I've made (and I've made quite a few games) that I got addicted to for a while, because we made the original prototype very quickly. Usually I'm sick of the games I work on well before they're playable.

We're working on removing OpenFeint support from our framework and replacing it with Game Center, and once we get that done, I'll add this feature. Probably won't get submitted to the app store for another week though.

Minimae 2 is well under way. We need to make one more big development push on it to finish it up, early in the new year. It's way bigger than the original Minimae.

Yes! I am glad to hear that GameCenter support is on it's way, and I was expecting months.

I am looking forward to Minimae 2, a huge classic RPG fan, and also glad to hear that it's also coming sooner then I thought, you guys are great. Best of luck!

I absolutely love this game, glad to see a review. The artwork is exceptional. The controls seem very intuitive to me. This one is a keeper.

The thread is titled "RPG Quest - Minimae" 😀

Found it! Thank you, it seems that searching Minimae by itself didnt work.
