A new version of the alpha iPad (2) build will be send to testers today. If you haven't signed up yet, you still can here. Remember that this is a early version of the game! Nothing you see is final and there will be bugs and loads of problems with the game.
Right now we are testing on iPad. This is because we optimized the graphics for iPad 2 and it runs at a smooth 40+ frames a second on that device. iPad 1's performance as of now is not optimized yet. It runs at 20+. At the end of this month we will get it to run at 30fps. We're not testing iphone/ipod touch yet because we haven't changed the gui for those devices yet, making it hard to play. However I can tell you that the iPhone 4 version will run at 30fps. 3gs will be a bit slower, but still smooth enough. Remember that this is a beautiful game and we're really pushing the system with our graphics. But we're confident we will deliver a smooth framerate on all 3gs+ devices. As for 2g & 3g devices: These devices will not be able to run the game as it is now. However we have a awesome idea to have the game look just as great as the iPad 2 version with the same framerate. But this will be tested post release. So nothing is certain as of yet.
Hi BMH, I have yet receive any invitation for the beta testing after registering(or is it full already), I have an Ipad 2 and iphone 4 =)
If you're not in the current test you will be in the next one. We will release a new build each friday.
Very much into Tactical/Strategy/RPG IOS game, Ive scoured the app store and bought and tried as many as i could find in a obsessive and orderly fashion...is the beta open? This game looks really amazing but will its gameplay stand up to Highborn, Wesnoth, Tintown or be based on a more simple layout, hui, and tactic based decisions like Great Little War Game or Furious tactics ......iam optimistic and hope to hear from you guys!
