I seem to remember Naval Tactics (also by the guy behind Starbase Orion) promised future updates, but that app was seemingly abandoned and lost to ios11. Maybe someone has more insight than me, but they seem to be a dead developer.
Chimera Software isn’t dead, he’s trying to remake Starbse Orion in Unity to release it in more places. The Kickstarter failed completely which didn’t help.
Naval Tactics never took off - the Tactics part of that was super obtuse, and never really latched in with a lot of players (my lay group especially - the formation bonuses weren’t really explained, the card system felt tacked in).
There was also a card game (Annex) that also failed.
It doesn’t look like he’s dead, just in hibernation.
I remember Starbase Annex. I was super excited about it, and it turned out to be War played on a hex grid. I think I uninstalled it immediately, and it was released back in the days before the refund window.
I almost wish I could delete my profile and play it all again for the first time. But then I would lose my precious high scores. Also, I do have like 9 unplayed game’s on my phone, can’t keep on with the same ones forever. Even if nothing else is quite as good.
@Hustlertwo, are you talking about Dream Quest? You can play it all again for the first time. You can create a new profile and start from scratch without deleting anything.
With Dream Quest, I purposely didn’t sync my phone and iPad so I could start over on the phone. But I didn’t realize I could create a new profile on the iPad, so I’ll probably just do that–the game works well on the phone, but some of those buttons are kinda tiny.
Hmm. Looks like Battle for Polytopia while I wait (in hope, because Aspyr isn’t crazy enough to promise anything) for a Civ6 fall patch on iOS. Likely some more stuff on iOS (still dealing with my SW:GoH addiction) and Pokken on the Switch.
I’m also testing a few things for my own personal projects - I have a couple of ideas (and a challenge grumble ) to get done this year, so I need to decide on a tech stack soonish and get to coding, arting and musicing.
Ok, after watching a bunch of peeps playing Slay the Spire on twitch, I finally picked it up.
It’s just taken about a day to beat the game with each of the 2 early access characters. It’s a fairly good take on the DreamQuest genre and I think I like it better than Monster Slayers.
How polished is it at this point? I know I’d like the game, but I generally can’t stand playing Early Access games knowing they’re going to change significantly before the final release.
