[GAME] Legend of the Blue Dragon

2nd app release for me.. I used to play this great BBS game called legend of the red dragon (lord) and yes, showing my age on this one
Anyway, created an api, installed the game on my server and then created the app.
Its free too.. has 2 inapp purchases but not required for game play..(remove ads/buy extra gold)
Some details:
The premise of LORD is that a Red Dragon is wreaking havoc in a town where the player has recently arrived. Multiple players compete over a period of weeks to advance their skills and to kill the dragon. In order to achieve this goal, players must face combat to gain experience. Once they have gained enough experience, they must face their master at Turgon's Warrior Training and advance in skill level. Advancement presents stronger enemies and masters; a player must reach level 12, the final level, before challenging Turgon himself and attacking the dragon.
As a BBS game, LORD uses a text-only interface.

That was a great game... I would love to port that one too.

Any feedback guys?
thanks

So many fond memories of LORD.
Installing LOBD right now, will try it out on my lunch break
Recommendation for your next app: Swords of Chaos, another great fantasy BBS RPG
(Or alternatively, Planets - LORD in Space!)

We should be able to press/click on a players name and see some info about them. Whatever our character would see just by looking at them( if they are heavily armed, strong, fast...etc). Maybe an avatar too.

I was a lord master. I could rise to the top so quickly admin reset the server due to complaints I was 'hacking'.
I loved renaming the strongest weapon in the game to "a stick". Probably why people thought I was hacking. Loved lord and am now getting into this blue dragon game.

Keeps saying that my session timed out

Im glad you like the game.
I just tested and the game seems ok for me.
thanks

Fun game. Finding the options are too small. I was fighting a higher level enemy and was almost about to win when I accidentally tapped run vs fight. They are too small and close together to easily select things. In the weapons and armor stores you have buttons. Perhaps buttons for fight and run in a row, then automatic options in the next row?
Pretty cool game. I like it. Its simple and I didn't want to put it down last night.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Not avalible in your country prf... ( serbia)

Where i can download LOBD?

Loved lord. I was just a kid but that game was sweet! Looking forward to trying this one out

Google.. working to get it back in the market.. I am attaching it here for you though. This is also the newest version. I have started the process of putting most of my apps on amazon since google basically can close your account for zero reason and no recourse but send them email which will go unanswered.. sorry.. a bit pissed about the whole situation.

Before your reply i pulled the apk and emailed it to myself.
What's the difference between my ooold version and this?

Lara Croft and Guardian of Light to be an Xperia Play exclusive

Lara Croft and Guardian of Light to be an Xperia Play exclusive!!!!!
Now this is great news! More and more games are coming to our PLAYs as we approach Christmas. Yey!!!

and ANOTHER HERE

Sounds great! That game is supposed to be really good.

Nice! I played this on 360.
It was actually a refreshing "arcadey" change to a stale Tomb Raider formula... I always liked it, but felt like it would've been more appropriate to release on a handheld. Now that's coming true! BUYING!

and it's just the first from Square Enix.. more established titles are coming, yey!

Very awesome that there are so many Exclusives that are high end titles. That said they need to get the word out better and advertise these things some more or something. For example you wouldn't know Hot Pursuit was even available if you weren't looking for it.
I will definitely be picking this one up!

God of War or Prince of Persia could heat things up, really!
oh am i dreaming?

Yeah man.... Comin soon
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I have the game for the 360 and it's really fun, though I probably won't get it for the Play.

Looks awesome, played alot of tomb raider back in the days. I think it's starting to spread like rings in the water that this device is fantalastic
Will defo be a tittle i wil buy.
Regards Dousan...

Hopefully it will be cross-platform compatible for multiplayer like Dungeon Defenders.

Yawn, another months old iPhone port made for a quick buck. Not too exciting if you ask me.

Lol how could you not be excited about a game that received almost universally positive feedback coming to a device that is perfectly tailored for it? Hello, touchpads!
Why did you even buy this phone if something like this doesn't seem remotely cool?

Really? I love getting iPhone ports.
iPhone has a lot of great games, but iOS in general is too limited for them to be fully recognized. Porting iPhone games to Android removes everything that makes them limited... especially considering the Xperia PLAY - which has single-handedly changed the tides of smartphone gaming being un-ideal without buttons.

Quick ports for quick buck tend to be subpar, no matter how good the source material is. That's why I'm wary.

This is definitely great news for players who haven't played the game, I highly recommend this title, it's a great platformer with nice puzzle solving.
Only gripe is.. I have already finished the game on my computer :/

Maybe Tomb Raider, Square Enix as a brand and mindless shoot'em up games stopped being cool in the neighborhood of 2000? I bought this phone because it allows me to emulate good older games, I don't give jack **** about 99% of the "new" games (mostly poor iPhone ports or glorified casual game divertimentos ). There are still no RPG worth their salt, no absorbing plots and no strategic games. Hell, I would fawn over a Final Fantasy Tactics port even, or Crystal Chronicles...
If you want to see me hyped, bring me weird or innovative games: Katherine, Hyperdymension Neptunia, Super Magnetic Neo... I've been holding console pads for almost 20 years, and I have witnessed how companies quit the innovation race long ago.

Tomb raider is far from a mindless shooter. Just like resident evil series, over the years the need to draw more "Casual gamers" into the series has forced the developers to tone down it's puzzle solving aspects. And as for Square not being cool anymore 2 words ..... Deus Ex

Deus Ex, Batman Arkum Asylum/City (Square Enix owns Eidos), Square Enix still makes great games.

Really Gameloft? How did you make SC:Conviction WORSE?!

Some developers have pulled off some pretty awesome **** with Xperia PLAY's touch-pads.
Gameloft, on the other hand, has been spotty - yet playable.
Splinter Cell Conviction, however, has been the only one I can say was absolutely unplayable. You'd think they would naturally figure something out that's functional since other devs have laid out the groundwork to perfect control schemes, but I ran into an update today that somehow rose the bar on horrible touch-pad usage (which is amazing because Conviction already held the title as the worst).
Now there's no analog movement whatsoever... the entire touchpad workspace is now just simulating the touch-screen, and movement is tied to the d-pad... and with that, all the auxiliary functions that should be on the d-pad are spread out in completely unnatural-feeling places.
I could understand if Gameloft hadn't already churned out some workable touch-pad control schemes, but it's like they un-learned all their accomplishments from MC3, N.O.V.A. 2 and Shadow Vanguard.
Stay classy, Gameloft -_-.

When did you buy Splinter Cell? I would never buy an old gameloft, they are just bad. Espaccially the one wichwhere availeble before the Xperia Play came out.

I got it around when the $0.99 sale was going on. Pretty much stocked up on any Xperia PLAY Optimized GL game I didn't have.

I bought SC: Conviction a long while ago during one of the 99 cent sales and finally got around to it yesterday after beating Rainbow Six. Right when I started it it asked for an update. Holy crap you are correct, the game is straight out unplayable. The right touchpad doesn't work half the time and when it does it randomly fires your gun or "activates" something. You need to reach your thumb over to the left touchpad just to be able to look around, but as for targeting people and getting headshots? Nearly impossible. I think I may just dump it and not bother finishing, its just plain frustrating to play.
The sad part is the production values on it are amazing, the graphics and all. But the controls are beyond horrendous.
Then the strangest part, Rainbow Six was unbelievable. Console game quality production values, amazing graphics, good voice acting, and the controls were dead on perfect better than any other FPS I've played on this phone. How were both of these games developed by the same people (or did Ubisoft make them and Gameloft distributes under license)?

Y'see, this is why I own an Xbox. I played the Gameloft Conviction on my iPod touch about a year ago and hated it. <3 Xbox Conviciton <3

Yeah.. I have a PS3.... plus this game was only a buck, if I had paid $5.99 for it I would be really angry.
Even though you're only paying a dollar for a game I understand your expectations can't be super high, but you expect a game to at least be playable. This one absolutely is not. Its just strange because Rainbow Six is the complete opposite and one of the best games on the phone ever, IMO.

I sent a nasty email to GL just a moment ago regarding Sacred Odyssey force closing and the crappy SC Conviction. I have 3 different GL email addresses and I sent an email to each one. It seems so far this year I have been having nothing but unresolved issues with GL, either its games or there online multiplayer issues. And I stated that in my email. I was unaware of Sacred Odyssey not working on 2.3.3 at all and bought the game only find I cannot play it. I swear I am so close to just telling GL to kiss my a$$ and just get my games from them elsewhere, I mean if they cannot uphold their end of the agreement to supporting a game why should we have to pay. We are expecting to at least have a functional working game(s) and most dont work and have serious issues, some worse then others, so basically we are just throwing $$$$ into GL face for a non working game(s). This in my opinion is stealing from their customers. They take your money, you think you are getting a functioning game and BAM! Screwed. Well screw you GL. I utterly despise you and your complete lack of support, I know why GL doesnt use the android market, because if they did Google would hound their asses to fix their games and by having to use their wapshop they have you by the balls. I know people will reply to this message and say "just dont buy their games" I wont enymore. I am sick and tired of their bullsh!t and their lies. I hope that somewhere GL employees and their bosses see this post and realize they are becoming a complete disaster and a joke. They make pretty games, but you donrt buy a game just to look at it. So I say lets stop buying there games, and I was going to make a thread on their forums but forget it, there has been a thread there for months where people list their issues with Xperia PLAY games and its just being ignored by GL. The only person replying to anyones posts is Nik, and that persons reply is "I have forwarded your message to your support department".... more like trash bin. GL are a bunch of a$$holes. Sorry for the rant, I didnt mean to type this long of a message, I am just so extremely tired and angry with them. And no I dont want cheese with my whine.......

Gameloft's really good at giving you what they already have. And they're actually very prompt about responding considering how most big companies make you fight through 15 minutes of automated hell just to get horrible customer service.
...the problem is that they don't do too well at fixing what's wrong. Eternal Legacy, for example has an issue with the touchpad that makes you go flying in diagonal directions if you use the touch-pad at all... this means that the game was able to be released without ANYONE noticing that the analog won't even let you walk straight... I mean damn, that's a pretty critical issue.
I do appreciate that they gave me Starfront: Collision for free, but I kinda wanted Eternal Legacy to be fixed... this happened over half a year ago without them fixing it BTW.

This is exactly right about them. They are always very friendly and more than happy to give you a free game for your trouble, I got 9mm for free for complaining about Shadow Guardian and how theres a bug that basically makes it impossible to complete the game. Its something that seems really simple to fix too (works fine on the iOS version).
That said, I like Shadow Guardian better, I want to finish it. I and MANY others informed them of this bug months ago, and yet they haven't done anything to fix it, and I'm sure they are still selling the game, broken.
Yet they had time to release a patch to make Splinter Cell worse.....

How do you guys play shadow guardian? I found it really hard to even hit that guy with the Shield as I roll away and then can't aim on him in time. Help?
Also, I bought SC: conviction despite the comments here and it is pretty bad. Sam starts shooting randomly whilst I'm just moving, is this the standard?

The guys with the shield you have to aim for their legs, which is tough, or you gotta just keep moving and get on the side of them. Or use a powerful weapon like a grenade launcher.
As for SC, its because they changed the mapping, it seems that they mapped the whole touch screen to the touchpads. So the right touchpad does that when you look around sometimes. if you use the left one it won't but its way uncomfortable to use that way.

I'll write a complaint then...
are you SUPPOSED to get round the Shields guys in shadow guardian? Because I find that immensely hard if that's the case...

Real late in the game you are jumping from these bars that are between two walls that are closing in on eachother. You need to get to the last part within the time limit or you get crushed. The problem is that its actually impossible to do, you get crushed before the walls are even close enough to crush you. Someone posted a video online of the iOS version and I did it at speed vs the video exactly and it was impossible to pass.
I posted about it here and someone else had the same problem, and then I emailed Gameloft and they agreed it was a known bug and they haven't fixed it yet.

So I can't finish the game at all?
Well... That's an abomination

I loved this game as a kid, had it on the megadrive, always got stuck on CLLD
I don't see the point of this being expensive though, it's not a long game, graphics although remastered are still blocky (In relation to other mega-drive/pc/amiga games) and they could have included the sequel released for sega cd with it.

They have changed it to 3rd person shooter. Looks better than BIA-2 too. That one sucked big time. Gameloft have come a long way now. Hope this one is XPlay optimized.

Even if it is, graphics wont be as good as the ones in the pictures, and it will probably lag.

Does on rail mean the character moves by themselves and you just shoot?
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

Yes. It's like being on a flat roller coaster where you are 'on-rail.' You are 'moved on' by the game to another section of the map once you clear an area in the map.
