State of the game "WOTA: Wolves of the Atlantic"

[v-i-c-]

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything new about the WOTA. I’ve wrote a newsletter and released it on the website https://hessburg.com/state_of_the_game/

All the best, Mark! Take the time you need. We all know it's hard to create a real game and not just a cloud of promises.

Plus it seems that the interest for mobile games is about NIL so to say. As long as you don't promise something fancy for PC it gets no interest at all.

sounds good so far, i have been following this one for a while

I think you probably could do a crowdfunding of some sort for it, given that you have put in a lot so far and just need to get over the line. Where crowdfunding usually goes belly up is when too much is promised and nothing really has been done, but you have done quite a bit.

I think you could have a really great game here and it has such a good name and unique acronym - just superficial things i know, but they make your project stand out

i will make sure to buy captain temporium if that can help you

Thank you.

That's a good summary and update. I can tell you've invested a huge amount of work and effort.

Thanks, Neal.
Maybe I should paint this quote of Robert Watson-Watt on the wall behind my computer screen: “Give them the third-best to go on with; the second-best comes too late, the best never comes.” – Of course I would try to aim for the 2nd best then.

heya sorry, i went looking for that emporium game but it does not come up in my itunes apps store - is it not available in australia?

[v-i-c-]

Weird. It should be available on all App Stores. Have you clicked on the links on the website or searched on the store?

iOS App Store

Mac App Store

i tried it on my ipad - i entered the app name in the search and nothing came up , but i will try it now using the links you have given and that should either work or it will make clear what the obstruction is - i will get back to you in a second

[agathosdaimon]

okay now it worked - just went through Safari google search - odd that when i tried before through the app store directly my searching brought up all manner of other apps with the name captain in it but not your one. nevermind i will purchase this one now

Thank you

I guess the store sometimes just does such things.

the emporium game is interesting but i cant quite figure out how the steering works,- it is a strange setup with some invisible areas of the screen performing different functions - i am not sure if i can do this with two hands or if i need three hands to control both the steering on one side and teh the firing on the other side - it would be better if you had an option for it where the the steering is on either side and the firing buttons are near to the edge to so that one can steer and fire with the same hand for both hands, it is a game that requires alot of maneuvering and shooting after all.
