BUT FIRST:

We're having a Fieldrunners Photoshop Competition on our Facebook page. If you guys are PS masters interested in tomfoolery, or if you'd like to see some silly Fieldrunners related pictures, check it out!

This contest was inspired by a huge update for the original Fieldrunners for iPhone launching on Thursday, the 6th. But don't worry - it had 0 impact on FR2 stuff (new updates, iPad version). In fact, consider this a sign that FR2 iPad is right around the corner I'll probably announce its official launch date sometime next week.

What's in the huge update for the original?

OMG! iPad version around the corner!?! Announcement next week! Waiting for the iPad version has been a trying experience for me, I didn't wanna spoil the game for myself playing in 2X when I knew a better looking version was coming out. I can't hardly wait any longer, hope it's soon!! Then I will probably buy both versions just because there is no IAP in the game, that deserves suport

I don't get it, why does it take so long? It's just a picture isn't it?

Got an envelope labelled "TOP SECRET" in the mail this morning. This was one of the pictures in the envelope:

@AtomicAlec

Will these towers be Ipad-exclusive or will they come to the iphone/ipod version in future updates?

I don't know, have you looked the maps closely? I think the level of detail is pretty amazing.

There's no inapps? And an ipad version? This sure sounds tempting...

They do some technically challenging things that could cause issues on the iPhone, so we'll have to wait and see!

I hope you get the chance to play our game

Will you be adding the towers to the iphone version for those without the iPad version in a future update?

On that note, I talked to the design team again and there's no real certainty as to whether those towers will actually make it to the iPhone version (regardless of whether someone got both versions or not). We're hashing things out now and I hope to come to some conclusion about this soon. Sorry for the misinformation - It's tough to not share news when an excited designer comes to me about cool stuff that they want me to share with fans. Gotta stop doing that until things are absolutely certain!

Was an early adopter, oh well.

Would be nice to experience the whole game though..

We'll see what we can do for you.
