It would be cool if there were a completely different endgame scenario as well. Or a couple of them.<br /><br />Have you ever considered adding or changing some Heroquests? The first time I played KoDP these were extremely exciting, but after having completed the game a couple of times I know what to choose, so the success of the Heroquest has become a result of its timing (have I allocated enough magic to Heroquests? Has it been a substantial period of time since the last heroquest?) rather than my choices. It would be awesome to get that feeling back.<br /><br />Maybe some food for thought for your next update.Repelstalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15860800652019770883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-32417639855263907362013-06-20T20:55:20.390-07:002013-06-20T20:55:20.390-07:00It sounds really nice.

There is still a crackle in the bass of the "bad" and "unknown" tracks, but now that I think about it, I bet that's the limitations of the phone speaker rather than a compression artifact (as I had always assumed).<br /><br />Music quality was the only real complaint I ever had with KoDP and as far as I'm concerned the game is now flawless - though I've still not played it on iPad.<br /><br />Am I wrong in hearing some changes to the music during the opening questionnaire?Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262262198754010247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-76334550354700525002013-06-20T18:28:29.890-07:002013-06-20T18:28:29.890-07:00Dangit, I may have to get an iPad now.

We use Flurry, and it handles being offline. There is no need for an option because you can always just play (being online is never a requirement to play, though it may not be possible to earn achievements if you aren’t — I forget the Game Center specifics).<br /><br />Or was your concern that we would be sending a ton of data and blowing through your data plan?

I didn’t realize that Stan could dig up the original version, which he had mixed in stereo and was digitized at 44 KHz.<br /><br />So the music files are now 4 times as large, but sound much better (especially if you play with headphones).David Dunhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303126226993823687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870073072491894963.post-15333657700527685242013-06-20T06:27:12.918-07:002013-06-20T06:27:12.918-07:00I haven't tried the new version yet, but what ...I haven't tried the new version yet, but what exactly does CD quality music mean?
