Machination Update

Update #11 · Feb 20, 2012 · 3 comments

The end of last year was a very hectic time, and we apologize for the long delay without an update. We experienced some significant disruption last year with two of us moving state. The result was that we lost our early momentum, and our communication with you all was poor, for which we apologize.

We are getting back on track again, and remain committed to releasing the best game we can. The support of all our backers is greatly appreciated and we will be getting back to making more regular announcements to keep everyone informed of our progress.

The game now has all the features it should have in and working. We are polishing the UI and intro screens, and working on the sound.

We are not yet setting a date for the launch of the game, but we are planning to launch on iOS and Android simultaneously.

Our next goal is to send out the remaining rewards and ensure we get the game stable and tested, so that it’s playable right through from start to finish. Our next update will include some screenshots from the game to show off the new interface.

Once again, thanks for supporting us through the development of this project. We’re looking forward to showing you more.

      Absolutely, John. We have been working on getting things squared away to release simultaneously on Android and iOS, but I don't have a firm date yet. We are putting together a new update which will include some new screenshots and at least a more tangible timeline to the end of the project. Thanks for your patience and support.

      So, another 50 days has gone by since this February 20 announcement. Could we possibly have another update at some point? I hate to sound pushy, but it's been 13 months since this project was funded and we've received 5 updates during that time. I understand about hectic schedules and moves, but seriously, can we at least have a release TARGET date? Like, what quarter? Perhaps, what year?
