Thanks to the generosity of Scott Gibbens, who took time out from his 170 mile journey home at the end of a busy day at work, to swing by my place and lend me his iPad2 for testing… the new build is now working on all the devices it can. The only restrictions I have had to make is iOS7. This removes iPhone 1-3, and iPad1, and iPod Touch 1-4. Unfortunately, there is just nothing I can do for these old devices anymore. For the record, the current version in the app store will continue to be available and work on those devices that have already downloaded it, it’s just no future versions (should there be any) will be available.
This new build has gone out to the external testers, and as long as I get the ok, it will head to the store next week. All being well, I will do the same for Doomdark’s Revenge. I intend to release both LoM and DDR for Android, Windows, and OSX as well to unify the releases. However, Blackberry, and Windows Phone will not be getting this release.
For the record, this is what is available in this release…
1. Added discovery map
2. Added ‘tooltip’ info on map
3. Added cleanup button for lords on select screen
4. Change to undo system ready for difficulty modes
5. Added ability to UNDO from the gameover screen!
6. Handle new screen resolutions
7. Built for latest IOS SDK
8. Support 64 bit devices
9. Cosmetic changes on scrolling views – dithered
10. Update of engine to align with Doomdark’s Revenge
11. Misc minor engine fixes ported from Doomdark’s Revenge
Faced with the arrogance of large corporations, the value of a few. That’s the spirit of LOM … Thanks to both.
Fantastic work – this game deserves to be made available to as wide an audience as possible.
Excellent news and eep up the good work.
One question though…
I’m in the UK and as of today (8/6/17) am only seeing an update to Doomdarks Revenge.
Has the Lords of Midnight update been delayed by Apple?
Yes, it seems to be stuck in Cupertino somewhere!!
Still no sign – any news from Apple?
Unfortunately no! I currently have two support requests outstanding with them!!
It arrived this morning!
Yes. I got a reply from them saying everything was ok and in order. Then an hour later it got approved! I suspect it fell through the system somehow.
