Please I really need your help. I dont have story line mission after completing multi target assassination mission. I have tried 2 times to play from beginning but no thing works!! Really fad up. . :[

@GnomeSlice what is that game?

GnomeSlice

@spyder Windward

Jason Berkan

@Jin - I know it's a common name, but I friended someone named Jin on Puzzles & Dragons a couple of days ago. I'm pretending it's you.

Jin

17:13

@JasonBerkan it is me

Jason Berkan

Even better.

Jin

@JasonBerkan you should try Gods and Dragons

it's such an under-rated iOS game..

think of Pokemon + Bejewled

Jason Berkan

@Jin I did. I thought the games were identical and I wasn't certain which one was copied from the other. Puzzles & Dragons got more media attention, so I went with that one.

Coronus

Morning Bridge.

Jin

@JasonBerkan well Gods and Dragons is made by a Chinese company I think, therefore most likely it's the knockoff

Ben Brocka

Has anyone switched a sim card between phones before? I moved from a nexus 4 to 5 and I can get phone calls and texts (useless) but not data

Jin

@JasonBerkan can you evolve and train skills for your monsters in Puzzles & Dragons?

Zero Stack

@Coronus hiya

FAE

@JasonBerkan This game looks really fun but it says it's incompatible with all my devices. o_O

Jason Berkan

@Jin You can evolve. Skill training is luck based - when you fuse monsters together you sometimes go up a skill level.

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka So jealous. I want one

Jason Berkan

17:23

@FAE It's a good time waster. I don't like that it requires a server connection, since I am the one weird guy with an iPhone that doesn't have a data plan.

Ben Brocka

It's lovely, but kinda needs a data connection. Not sure what step I did wrong

GnomeSlice

Windward developer dropped the game, here's why

@BenBrocka you might find this interesting to read

FAE

@JasonBerkan I only have 250mb on my data plan, myself.

@JasonBerkan Jake from VSauce 3 featured it on App All Knight so I wanted to download it then, but at that point, it said it wasn't available in my country. Now it says it won't work on any of my devices (Asus Transformer tablet or my Samsung Galaxy S2)

So I am sad

Coronus

I'm going to try this out. Does it need an internet connection to startup, or just while playing?

FEichinger

Ben Brocka

3.5" is not "medium sized", it's small

spyder

@BenBrocka 3.7" not small. Or 4"

Ben Brocka

Someone at work got what must be a 3" or so Android (with 2.3 no less), it's a nightmare to actually use

4" is about medium these days, trending to the lower end

RedRiderX

I want to start saying, "back in my day, they were way bigger".

Ben Brocka

using a touch screen necessitates a larger screen

RedRiderX

But I'm trying to hold back.

Ben Brocka

17:44

@FAE Don't the minis also have garbage hardware?

kalina

@BenBrocka oh yeah for sure, larger screen is nice for touching and feeling but smaller screen is better for single hand use with smaller hands

GnomeSlice

I'm actually really sad about this game now... it's great. It's a shame the developer had to give up on it...

FAE

@BenBrocka I have no idea, I only glanced at them in the store recently to take a look at the size and compare it.

Ben Brocka

@kalina Meh I can use a nexus 4/5 with one hand for the most part

I have big hands though

kalina

@BenBrocka the hardware isn't top end like the bigger phones

I think the htc one mini for example only has a dual core chip with half as much ram

fbueckert

17:46

Huh. I had a half week of overtime in banked hours. At 1.5x, that's almost another whole week.

The Galaxy S3 and S4 are made for people with big man hands. :( I don't want a smartphone that I'm worried about dropping all the time or that's like... the same size as my 3DS.

I will return to it and add that campaign mode, and I will implement more features including proper networking. I just don't have the time to spend on Windward for now, which is why I felt it wasn't fair for me to keep it as a commercial product while it's not being developed.
