Morbid mobile curiosity.

Lol!

Please feel sorry for us coz it's rains so much in Guildford.

Follow the designer on twitter, just don't expect him to tweet anything.

Raspofabs that is one shameless plug.

It gets even better. Upgrade powers/shrines is such a huge cash grab. "We won't use gems with gameplay. lolNOTHINGISGAMEPLAY" or "We won't use gems with multiplayer gameplay. lolsingleplayer"

Edit:
On a lighter note, Monkeythumbz/Matthew Allen where should I throw out feedback for the mobile version anyway? I tossed up a thread over on Steam, since I know we keep an eye there, but not sure how much attention the subforum gets. Subreddit's a free for all and I don't think FB/Twitter's necessarily the best, and the official forums are pretty dead.

I nearly choked at the £3.82-£76.37 Per item in-app purchases.

I want a $500 and $1000 ingame purchase !!!

Actually, it's the first time I've looked at the prices of them. (I've not had to do any of the IAP GUI programming, so managed to avoid that).

I would have thought charging so much for gems would be detrimental to our sales. I would have at least one Gem card (probably the 50) at the lowest price possible (what is that $.49?) otherwise I would think we're pushing away people, not inviting them to spend. $5 is too much in my opinion. Obviously not the opinion of 22cans etc etc.

IMO - I prefer IAP that buys me a thing, a one off. If not that, then a currency that is used to buy non-consumables. That's all I have to say on it really.

...drugs?

Yea, I remember... They must HATE those bigger gem packs with a passion.

I assumed he was either being facetious (eg. saying something ridiculous because he found it amusing), or he was being devious and wanted to see if saying that spurred people to spend more just so see if it was true. I wouldn't put it past him at this point for him to be doing the latter, though part of me suspects he is also the type of person with his head so high up in the clouds while also holding himself (especially his ideas and humor) with such high regard that he's unable to have the foresight to see the reality of how it'll turn out. Although he does seem the type to say whatever thing tickles his brain in-the-moment, thus a lot of the silliness and lack of focus in the videos, and so it's possibly the former. He's probably a really nice guy, maybe (I assume everyone is nice until proven otherwise), except he might also be the kind of person that tells you right to your face what he thinks; because, like a hyperactive 4yr old, he seeks to say whatever he's thinking, without thinking.

Since early on in this project, I began to really understand why Peter has such a reputation; because 90% of what he says about a game and it's features sounds like such fantastically whimsical bull$h!t you can't help but first get excited by the prospect, but then over time begin doubting he's even the slightest bit serious. He seems to lack awareness of the effect of what he says, whether he's acutely aware of his own actions or not; because even if he's a bit timid about opening up to people, it doesn't seem to stop him from saying things he might later regret.

If he is that kind of devious person, imagine this scenario; he picks up catering to serve at a dinner party at his house, but instead he claims/pretends he made it himself - going so far as to put it in pans and skillets for effect - and he seems so excited and pleased with his culinary brilliance you almost buy it, but as the dinner progresses you somehow suspect he's fibbing except for lack of evidence; unless you forcefully search his garbage, or somehow convince him to fess up. Somehow you still like him - and kind of applaud his effort at trickery - but the whole ordeal has you questioning his sanity, and by effect all your future dinner party invites; you'll never trust him, and probably question every home-cooked dinner party meal here-on-out as being 100% legit. But you would never had known had you not searched his garbage, or goaded him into confessing, and that in-turn makes you feel a bit awful.

I feel like an ass for even thinking and typing this, but I just don't know how else to explain what has transpired over the course of this project. I'm not trying to defame him, I'm just trying to grasp exactly what he thought the outcome would be (early on, and as time progressed) with all that's been said and done. Seems like he's possibly finally noticing or admitting, or at least allowing himself to realize, just how bad it all really is.

Moral of the story; don't promise things you are not able to, or not willing to, or simply cannot deliver. And certainly don't "Fake it 'til you make it" because that really doesn't work out all that often; oddly Peter has been somewhat lucky in the past with that, but I think sadly it has finally caught up to him.
