Empty helmet. Without skull. I don't mind gore or anything like that but I don't like those eyes and teeth.
Empty helmet. While we're at it slightly simplifying the castle in the background might help the icon show up clearer on the smaller iOS screen.
Cool, thanks everyone - empty helmet it is. We'll be submitting the game today Stay tuned for all the official launch news, dates, etc in the next few days!
Damn... I can't wait to get my hands on this game. And the empty helmet looks definitely better. As someone said, the skull in there looks just... awkward. Maybe it could look good if the skull was a little re-done.
i think they tweeted that they'd need another week, i'm assuming to submit, so probably late january?
Apple had an issue with our "coupon" system, which allows us to basically restore peoples' profiles, should they somehow lose their data, overwrite with iCloud, etc... We're resubmitting tomorrow (Monday), so it shouldn't be a huge setback. Barring any other issues we should definitely see Heroes & Castles hit the App Store the first half of January. Sorry about the short setback, but we'll give a specific release date as soon as everything is in order! $1.99 - will be compatible with all devices from ipod touch 3g and above, including ipod touch 4, ipad 1, iphone 3GS, etc. The game? In a nutshell a 3rd person action-RPG, with a heavy dose of strategy and castle defense elements. I know, it may seem like a bit of a stretch but hopefully Bug Heroes is proof that we can make these genre mashups work Basically you'll be defending your castle with one of 3 heroes, while building units and upgrading your castle during the battle. We're trying to create an experience where it really feels like you're inside of a huge battle, fighting right alongside the units that you summon (catapults, archers, giants, dwarves, and tons more). Even on the lower gen devices like the 3GS and ipod touch 4g we can push out up to 75 units in a single battle with a solid frame rate. ---------- Also, we're already working on a number of updates and content for the future, so expect a heavy dose of awesome new content, regardless of the games success
Resubmitted last night. As soon as its approved we'll have a revised release date! Cannot wait for people to get their hands on the game... Also we can now confirm that a Versus multiplayer mode is in the works for a not too future update. Attack/defend, good vs evil I think it has some really cool potential to be a highly competitive mode and is already a blast to play.
