Not sure Koenig mentioned an anti-pattern for curry in response to that Gamma tome, maybe it fits with seagull management.

I won't be around at that time for a couple of hours, just so you know.

It's okay team, I'll be here, panic over 

To Raspofabs:
Only on half of mobile. The Androids still await their divinity.

Maybe someone should invite raspofabs over to the forum so he could actually respond.

Does anybody need anymore links to #Godus or @22cans?

Oh jeez, Peter's a monster. We know what the world does with these types of babies, they go werewolf and tear them to shreds. Peter's wife must do most of the parenting in their household, since he seems content to throw them out in the world like this. =P

(Also how much does an editor pick cost you guys? Is that really something done out of the goodness of some editor's heart?)

My guess would be officially nothing, but unofficially a really really nice bottle of scotch.

I spilled my coffee on the Android build...

Seriously though, yeah, we've had it building for Android at different points in development, I had it mostly running on my S3 about three weeks ago. Mostly running isn't releasable though, as it means minor things are missing like "back button crashes the game" or "shaders somtimes turn purple when there are too many trees on screen"... yeah, cross platform development is fun.

The reasons why there isn't a released Android build right now is that there aren't really enough developers here to support multiple platforms at the same time, the reason we chose to go with cross platform middleware providers Marmalade. We've had to concentrate on one platform at a time, and the way things have worked out, our platform split is iOS/Android/Desktop. Unfortunately, unlike desktop where the Windows and Mac builds aren't too dissimilar, the iOS and Android platforms have a lot of technical differences, meaning they can't easily be worked on at the same time. This meant we had to prioritise the mobile platform releases, and it makes sense to base that prioritisation on what keeps the company rolling, right?

The good news though, is that now the iOS version is actually out there, there's more time for us to get back to doing more fun stuff and give some love back to the backers with some desktop updates. I personally would expect there to be an Android build in the next couple of months, and I would also expect a bit of a push to make the Desktop version significantly better too.
