I'd say mobile is the end of the line. If they fail on mobile that will the end of the cans and the end of any hope for an improved PC version.

This all makes for some very sad reading. So many questions and so few answers. *Sigh.

They have released a new update for mobile. Description says that a lot has changed. I don't think there are specific details.

I anticipate it's settlements update for mobile. Twitter post yesterday said today was a big day. We should also hopefully be getting a bunch of info about the PC version of the settlements update. (I don't know how different the mobile vs PC updates are)

Weren't we told the settlements update would be rolled out to PC before mobile?

I don't recall reading that anywhere, but I may be mistaken. You'd kinda assume they'd keep the two separate by a bit just in case any pesky bugs show up at launch, so one of them probably will be earlier by a small amount.

So WRT to updated version, if you check out the NZ app store, there are what appears to be new screenshots. I've not seen them before & then appear to be showing new stuff, but please do correct me if i'm wrong on that. EDIT: Seems to have just been released on other app stores too? My link actually redirects me to a GB version which says "release date: 7th august", instead of "updated: 7th august" |

I'm sure I remember a member of the community team saying so, but I don't much have the will to find it, it's not that big a deal.
I'd have thought they'd want to use the PC users as guinea pigs for this for bug-zapping reasons as they have with other updates but maybe the release schedule for the mobile wouldn't allow it.
Thanks for linking those screenshots. Not massively revealing but there are some obvious visual differences.

Apparently a secret organization has infiltrated 22cans and is holding guns to the heads of the developers and forcing them to release the mobile version first because they have a vested interest in the profits made through that release!
'reasons' ;p

Or it may have been just a man breaking the build. Because of reasons.

Lol they reset progress on mobile. Plus the starting area looks completely different so I guess expect reset on PC unless George says otherwise.

For me, the biggest change is that Godus feels more like a game now, rather than a prototype. Does it feel like a truly great PC game though? Not yet, or at least not IMHO. But we'll get there and we won't stop iterating until we do. |

Is it really ok to reset the mobile version when there are significant new updates? Haven't people already paid money for various progressions in the game?

Everyone who has purchased Gems in the mobile version of Godus so far will get a full refund plus an additional bunch of bonus Gems to make up for it. |
