    Wow. The graphics have been nicely improved since the beta versions I played. I am looking forward to the release.

    This looks terrific. Looking forward to buying it. Am I correct in thinking its iPad only?

    master lee, Ben!: thanks for the support!

    I'm very happy to let you know Dwarf Quest was finally approved yesterday, so the Friday launch is still on.

    Also: the game will be Universal. It's been tested on the iPad 1, 2 and 3 as well as the iPhone 4S and iPod touch 4. If you have an older device, you might want to wait until the first update, in which I'd like to improve performance across the board.

    But if you have an iPad 2 or 3, you'll be able to play the game as it was intended to be played!

    Can't wait for this - looks so nice. Weird release date though - sure you don't want to release it tonight like everyone else?!

    Two hours sounds like hardly any gameplay, unfortunately. In the first post you mentioned you were considering 'add on' quests etc as IAP's - is this your intention now? I don't mind that as long it's clear up front and there's not too long a gap between releases...

    Cheers,

    Jamie.

    Hi Jamie!

    Thanks a lot for your kind words. The release date is August 24th, to celebrate the 20 year anniversary since I made the original Dwarf Quest. :)

    Maybe it's a risk, but I don't mind taking a bit of a chance to keep the story in tact.

    I want to be as transparent about the hours of gameplay as possible. I hope about two hours will be enough for you to get the game, if not that's perfectly fine of course.

    I do have updates and expansions planned, but as an indie developer I'll also have to consider how well this first version will do. Of course I'm committed to providing amazing experiences for you!

    Thanks again for taking the time to share your sentiments, I appreciate it!

    Hey Dylan,

    So you need about two hours to finish the game. Is it replayable more than one time?

    master lee: I appreciate your support!

    Nleground: I personally do think you'll enjoy playing it more than once. It is also very likely that one of the first updates will include a tougher mode to unlock after you finish the game on normal.

    I'll never stop being in awe of people complaining (or expressing concern) about two hours for $1-$3. Ridiculous.

    Dwarf Quest just became available in New Zealand! It will come out at midnight in your timezone, so just sit tight and be sure to check it out first thing in the morning.

    Thanks everyone, looking forward to your feedback!

    Bought to support a fellow developer. Like the general style and looks pretty polished. But I had a lockup in level 3 or so and without save feature that is a little inconvenient.
