(The reason I had chosen to reply here)<br />The requirement for Google Play registration-check, practically eliminated any existing piracy effort.<br /><br />btw, latest Android version has a bug on Feast menu.<br />Oh yeah, KC is still living in KoDP after all these years. Of course I tried my best to broke the game with hex-editing the save-snapshot. lol Game IS fully playable/enjoyable at "untouched" state. But one got "itchy" after countless replays, and had to change "things". Aye, modded it to death..indeed.<br />I do miss my Salmon Man. <3kentcavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448960214696409407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-36732822910978427022014-08-29T05:03:17.299-07:002014-08-29T05:03:17.299-07:00If it’s worth the cost, it’s worth the cost.

Respectively, it is well worth the cost (I've played the PC game), but most app games I've bought run around $6.99 on sale, which to me, would be a sweet spot and not to mention a sweet deal for this amazing game.<br />What I really want to know is, if there will be a sale for this game soon?<br />I'm really, REALLY tempted to buy this game outright, but would really appreciate the opportunity for a sale. Not to mention. a sale also shouldn't hurt sales revenue too much as I'm sure others would like to take a hold of a sale as well.<br /><br />Thanks for your time, patience and considerations!<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />- TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765824120280362973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-87228388172623743072014-08-24T20:47:42.252-07:002014-08-24T20:47:42.252-07:00That URL didn’t work.

YMMV but in my experience the 2 platforms are pretty close in that regard. I also share his reasoning, piracy sucks but as long as it is not too easy to pirate your game, it does not have a real impact on sales since most of these 'lost sales' are from people that are not going to buy the app either way ...<br /><br />Yes, I hate the secondary download issue as well, it is very frustrating when it happens during a commute. The thing is : the play store offers you an API to automatically download the whole thing in one go. Maybe Herocraft did not implement it because not all markets have this feature (I honestly don't know, I only publish on Google Play atm) ? <br /><br />By immersive mode, I mean this : http://youtu.be/cBi8fjv90E4?t=2m47s (at 2m47). It allows to remove the navigation bar in order to use the whole screen.Françoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170721194836908812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-60952943356741150062014-08-21T07:30:46.353-07:002014-08-21T07:30:46.353-07:00That's for sure. :)

My publisher did not offer any details other than their concern that Android was worse.<br /><br />I am not an Android user so the secondary download was a terrible user experience, standard though it may be. (I often download apps at work but don’t launch them until later, when I might not be on a network at all.)<br /><br />I really don’t know what you mean by immersive mode. Are there devices on which it is not full screen? Again, I have only one Android device and it used every pixel there. If yours is otherwise, let support@herocraft.com know about your concern. I know they are planning some sort of update soon.David Dunhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303126226993823687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-68009031068367693002014-08-16T03:23:06.432-07:002014-08-16T03:23:06.432-07:00"It’s a sad fact that people steal games for ..."It’s a sad fact that people steal games for any platform, but it appears to be worse on Android" <br />In my experience, piracy is not better or worse on Android than on iOS. <br />If you look at android your piracy figures, you should also notice that 90% of these come from China where you can't monetize your game anyway. On any platform, even if you take extraordinary measures, some people will pirate your product. Even for MMO games that require a server component, there are often unofficial servers for the popular ones.Do you have figures to share, I would be interested. Again, from what I have seen, piracy is pretty much the same between iOS & Android and it is debatable whether limiting it would result in higher sales. <br /><br />"I thought the size limit was a thing of the past, but I guess this is standard and you’re probably used to it as an Android user." Well, yes it is. The Play Store does the expansion work for you. I am a bit confused by you comment, since you link to a page explaining how to deploy apk expansion without needing to host the files yourself.. <br /><br />Apart from that, it is a nice port, but it would really need immersive mode. This is exactly the kind of game that would benefit for a full screen experience.Françoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170721194836908812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-64499202649024808702014-08-13T13:28:06.101-07:002014-08-13T13:28:06.101-07:00Great, many thanks!
