    Finally on the leaderboards :D

    Awesome! Nice one Beefy :D

    There are currently just over 180 people playing the game on GC - which is nice, but hardly stellar!

    Thankfully, future games will have GC in them from the start. Which is awesome :D

    QS :D

    Hey QS did you have any reports from users complaining that sometimes when you touch the GC button it does nothing or, even worse, cause the game to crash?

    Because I'm experiencing this with your game but also with some adhoc I'm testing and I was a little worried.

    Cool game ... I really love the design aesthetic on this! What impact do you think Gamecenter is having?
  • MagoNicolasMagoNicolas Member, PRO Posts: 2,090
    QS, do you have a ratio of GC Players and downloads?

    Well, I'm sorry that's happening to you. I've not had any such reports. It might help if you let me know what device you're using?

    Cheers!

    As to GC, it's really hard to tell. The game is still in 'What we're playing' on iTunes in a few territories. Apple has been very kind!

    Additionally I'm still pushing the game here and there. So it's hard to say what GC in itself is bringing to the party.

    I'm *hoping* it'll prolong the life of the game for people, even after unlocking everything. And that's got to be a positive thing, right? ;)

    Right now it's less than 10% of the installed base. But I attribute that to GC being introduced to the game two months after release!

    Cheers!

    QS :D

    I'm using a 4G. It doesn't happen often, it's really random. But there are some rare cases where it doesn't work and some other where the game become unresponsive.

    But if this happens only to me then that's cool, I'm just afraid I could offer a bad user experience.

    This has happened a few times to me. I'm guessing that it has to do with hitting buttons while the game is trying to update game center. Not really sure what to say other than that.

    Ouch guys. I don't like the sound of that!

    I'll see what I can do for sure (if anything!).

    Thanks for the heads up,

    QS :D

    I have never had the game crash upon hitting the Gamecenter button, but I've had it randomly not post the score, and for some reason, it's always when I get a really good score... go figure!

    You're the only developer so far who has created such an addictive game that my friggin' battery died b/c I was playing it too much! :)
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    You're very kind, matey, thanks for that!

    The 'not posting' thing is actually planned. I use:

    Rule
    If game.ButterbeanScore <= game.SheepyScore
    Then post score to GC

    :D

    I have the same issue with gc in my game. After a long gameplay the gc button does nothing.

    Is this being addressed by the GS team? It kind of defeats the whole purpose of using gamecenter for highscores if you can't play long enough to get the highscore without the geamcenter behavior breaking.

    That's a great rule. I think I may integreate that into my game :)

    @Jon: just with a few changes, erase the ButterbeanScore and put QuantumsheepScore is <= to JonMulcahyScore, then post it :)
  • jonmulcahyjonmulcahy Member, Sous Chef Posts: 10,408
    Actually I put

    If score > Jonscore
    Jonscore = score+1

    :)

    Will you be releasing a template for it?

    Oh so you only want to tie? It should be score >= Jonscore :P
    Tht way you'll always have one more point than the leader :)

    Guys, today I read a post by MagoNicholas saying that all the GC postings by him are not cheated? What does he mean? Now I see you guys talking about something that is similar (not sure if a joke), & I was wondering how you could even do such a thing?

    Matt
  • MagoNicolasMagoNicolas Member, PRO Posts: 2,090
    It is very simple. you can have for example, a hidden object in one scene, and when you touch it more than 20 times, it gives you 300000 score… for example, it would be very easy to cheat on your own game.

    :D I forgot how to wipe my.... face, does anyone have a template for that? :)
  • RedlerTechRedlerTech Member Posts: 1,583
    oh :/
  • SkyMapleSkyMaple Member Posts: 817
    I am probably going to do something like that for my next game, I'll put some hidden button in the about section. No one will ever look there *evil laugh*

    But that would be rubbish.

    What about changing your highscore to something reasonable and "within limits", that way people won't know you suck at your own game, lmao

    Indeed! Cheating is for the weak.

    Of course! I was giving an example on a way to do it!

    the only thing I have in my game is an easter egg for earning 400 coins, Will give hints soon.

    But I don't cheat on my games….
  • SkyMapleSkyMaple Member Posts: 817
    @quantumsheep lol, ok. Then maybe some kind of easter egg like @magoNicolas :D

    QS, I was in my local WHSmith store this morning (National UK bookstore/newsagent) browsing through Tap Magazine and guess who's game briefly featured in the best simple games roundup?

    Yup Air Supply was recommended on an article about "Tiny Wings", basically saying if you like Tiny Wings you will like these games. They complemented Air Supply's simple controls and retro graphics, although slightly criticised how difficult unlocking new content is. May give you a bit of a sales boost?

    Air Supply is in Issue 5 http://gb.zinio.com/browse/publications/single-issues.jsp?productId=500608659&pss=1
