Hello Guy
I have being working this last 5 months in a game inspired heavily in the Advanced Wars series. I wanted to create a turn based strategy game as rich or even more than AW, with more types of terrain and units. As i really dont like spending on apps I will make this game free to play. As of now, the state in the game is still in development but I am expecting it finish it by the end of the summer.
For this game I had a series of goals:
-Fun (obviously)
-Scalable, support for small maps or huge big maps
-Customizable
-Multiplayer
-Intuitive control
By the state the game is now all of this goals seem really close. So I would like to hear also what the community has to say, what would they like in a turn-based strategy game like this.
Update:
Gameplay style:
As I mentioned before this game is inspired by Advance Wars, but I want to state clearly that this is not an AW clone. I want to make it my own game with my own touch for what I think will make it a game optimized for phones and tablets. Right now I have most of the ideas of how the game will work and how the gameplay style will be, but I also want to know what you fellow xda'ers think.
-The moving style is similar, to AW where you can move the unit to the desired tile and you can either choose your path or let the game decide the fastest path. The purpose of this is for more strategy reasons, the fastest way is not always the best.
-The units can perform an action(attacking, building, repairing, etc...) and move independently. This way you can also attack and then move.
-This buildings are independent from the terrain. I am planning on using cities as a source of income but units will be build using barrack that will be created by engineers.
-Engineer are one of the most important units, as they will create buildings for producing units, towers for defending, and com centers for support.
- I will still have naval and air units, and their behavior will be pretty much similar to the ones of AW.
With this changes I am planning on making the game more fast and strategic. So I want to hear what you guys have to say and if you think I should add something or remove something.
I will be posting more information soon.

I got an asus transformer and it scales perfectly for tablets.
Sounds cool, how about some screen shots?
swyped from a galaxy far far away
Never actually heard of Advance Wars, looked it up, now im quite excited.
Would love to see this game. Do post the screens soon!
please please no open feint. I hate this thing in ways unimaginable.
The logic of the game is almost done but I am still lacking some cool graphics. I will throw some advanced wars sprites and I will make some screenshots.
Ok one more update
The game itself is not near completion and I would rather not show any screenshot or videos as it doesnt have any feature that will set it apart from any other TBS. I will keep working on the game and probably by next week I can have something that is worth showing. Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciated.
Sounds like its going to be awesome, can't wait!

One of the ideas I had was to make the game modular so that the instead of using and artwork set, the people in the comunity could create "texture pack" to change the look and feel of the game. But for now I need some sprites at least for making the first public demos of the game, intead of use the Advanced Wars sprites. If you know how to do graphics design I would be really pleased to have your coopertion. If you are intersted PM me back and we can figure something out.
Thank you for the interest.
Just an update,
I have being really busy moving to a new apartment so I havent got time to work too much on the game and the screenshots this last week. I am almost done with unpacking so soon I will bring more info.
Sounds good. I will test when its available. PM me when you need testers...

When Constant C approaches an object, the object becomes “alive” and when Constant C leaves, the object becomes frozen again. By making good use of Constant C’s power, your mission is to remove obstacles ahead and find a way for Constant C to reach the control center of the dark force.
There are 29 levels. To solve the puzzles, you need to be intelligent and creative. Each puzzle gives you a new experience, and along the way, your will learn important skills that can help you solve the puzzles.

It's amazying.
I made it to halfway through world 2- here are my thoughts.
This game is beautiful- it looks great, and the way it works is absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say it is one of the best games I've yet to play on Android- maybe the best.
That being said, it is way too big. 5MB should be the max before installation to SD should be implemented- this game is over 20. Either work on reusing more textures, or have it install to SD.
I was playing with the device laying down, and the gravity button was flipping out- switching every update cycle and just going crazy. You may want to have it display an X if the values aren't high enough to justify a gravity switch (I love the way this mechanic works, by the way!)
Fix these issues, and most standard prices you would ask for would be too low for this game- I would gladly pay for more worlds. (Though, if more worlds were added, you may want to work on the difficulty curve- if you want my thoughts on that, let me know). Again, great job!
Thanks that's huge compliment you give us there.. we are really appreciate.
We will work on the to SD feature.. since a lot of people had demanded it! I'll update it ASAP.
there are some reason makes us can't reuse texture though
first .. our artist is new in drawing texture for games... he just draw whatever he feels right and not considering about texture size and reusability. (we will do it better next time)
second.. in some device.. too many sprites makes game really laggy.. so we tend to use huge jpg file for background
i don't know anything about marketing on android app.... because we are totally noobies in this... Actually this game is not only our first game on android.. it's our first android app if you don't count "Hello World" as a app XD
After we think we learn enough to build this game. we go straight into it. It take us 5 months to build because we need to learn new stuff along the way
I use XNA mostly, and my brother use c++ and some graphic engine from his lab, neither did we use andengine before. and we love it!
We are thinking putting ads in it....and yet it's something we never tried XD, so I might need to check documents. After that we will release a clean ads free version for 0.99$ i think..for us.. most important thing is people can play our game. and feel it's not waste of time. those few hour must actually means something
Downloaded to my htc inspire 4G. I Am amazed by what you have created. This is awsome! I love free...but this needs to be a paid game. It is worth every penny.

This game is pretty awesome. Albeit I've had my phone for about 2 months, I've never played a game with these game mechanics. Very original and an amazing first app. I also just started learning android and will be developing my first app in the coming months, and I don't think it will be nearly as good.
thanks
thanks!I think you will do it great too! we just began java programming 4 months ago!
It's easy to learn!

Haha I love the system requirement 'above average IQ'
it's a great game!
Just read about this on the portal. Downloaded it on my A100 and started playing, will have to download it to my EVO 3D later. Love it. This is definitely better than some of the games that other devs charge for. Excellent work.
Last night i try it on galaxy S, and work superb, thanks
I am trying to download it through market, but I am getting device incompatibility message. I am using Samsung Galaxy S GT I9003. Does it have region restrictions, I am trying from India
On the market it says my device is not supported
If you haven't seen it yet, Further Beyond Fighting is now officially Xperia PLAY Optimized.
I remember playing this on iOS... and it was kind of a wreck... kinda >_>.
Looking at the reviews on both the iOS and Android versions, it's clear that "touch-screen" and "fighting game" just don't belong in the same sentence... this game got rated a lot lower than it deserves just from that.
Swapping between touch and physical controls, it's a MASSIVE difference.
Now it's all smooth-as-butter performance, WITH controls that respond

I had Street Fighter IV Volt on my 4th Gen iPod Touch... Capcom did alright with the limitations they had to work with, but compared to buttons it still sucked ass.
I'm hoping Capcom will release SFIV Volt on Xperia PLAY too so I can play it for real.
has very bad reviews.. bruce lee is even better despite its insane difficulty.. (just the memorize-all-combos part though)

Of course it does... people been playing it with horrible touch-controls.
Lol if I had to play a fighter with touch-controls, I'd give it a very bad rating too. It's not perfect, of course, but after playing with touch controls then getting a substantially more responsive experience on Xperia PLAY, this feels like a brand new game. This is why Xperia PLAY kicks every other smartphone's ass at gaming.
Bad reviews because of it being poorly polished, that is. Judging from the game's screenies and video, it looks mediocre. Half-cooked. That's why.
I'm kinda addicted now.. I just love fighting games.. Eventhough I can't jump, no touch pad support, no good combo, only few characters.. but i'm sure this will not take that long because of those issues..

I doubt anything will beat Tekken 3 to be honest.
This doesn't look good at all.
No, this game looks terrible. I mean if this game had better gameplay and graphics then it would be worth it. It seems like a bad game from a fly by night vaporware dev. No offense to anyone who enjoys this game.
Exactly. Nailed it.
Hey There!
Hi Guys, it's us from PJS-Coding - developers of Further Beyond Fighting!
First: Thank you TLRtheory for this thread. We're glad you're all discussing our game.
Regarding all your feedback: We plan to implement new combo moves shortly.
New moves are a top priority for one of the next updates. And if you have any feedback and features you want us to implement, just drop us a mail: support.android(AT)further-beyond-fighting(DOT)com
We're available 365 days a year and respect all the feedback we get. TLRtheory can confirm that; he was one of the persons who asked us to add Xperia PLAY support. And now it's here!
Stay in touch!
Now that's what I like to see from a dev.
I think its great that you are listening and participating through the Xda community. I wonder is or was there ever a demo release of the title? It seems that a round or two of the game would open the flood gates for areas of oppurtunites.

IMO a demo would be a better idea than a "free to play" version, I tend to stay away from free to play games or free games with in app purchases. As these tend to alway run in the background, and flood your notification bar with "special offers" Gun bros by glu is a prime example of this
I really loved playing Gun Bros but uninstalled for that very reason.
Hello,
Shake 'n' Roll Labyrinth is my first Android game. As an 3D Artist it has been very important for me, to create a real 3D look with a realistic rolling ball, nice shadows and realistic collisions. I think this is, what makes it real diffrent from the others. A real hard thing was to find good balance between performance, look and quality. I used Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.3 as the reference.
It would great, if someone want's to test it and give me feedback, to make it better.
You can download it for free on google play.
Cheers
Thomas
Seems nice
Congratulations on your first app, u reminded me when i created my first one
It seems nice, i will try it and let you know

welldone Thomas, I tried the game it is working well on GS2 except one minor issue below, also i liked the splash logo
Issue: there is a slight flickering feeling even if i am not shaking or titlting the phone
Good luck
Hello Karim,
right before uploading it, on one hand I felt very excited and on the other very afraid. I'm so proud that the error reports still count ZERO cause I could not test it on different hardware/OS combinations!
I'm really happy about Unity 3D. In the beginning it was hard for me to find a game engine that fits to my ideas. I started the project with build in stuff and ended up with scripting everything. Really creazy for me, as I'm a visual Artist.
For me, Unity 3d is a great peace of software and it is for free. It is alright for me, to show their splash screen, till I'll buy the pro version.
I'll check the flicker issue and try to fix it.
Thank you so much
Thomas
Shake 'n' roll labyrinth - free game - version 1.06 out now!
Hello,
Shake 'n' roll labyrinth - version 1.06 out now!
- There is now a pirate mode. First of all you have to find the ghost ball. If you found it, you'll see the ghost ship. You'll have to sink it with your cannonball to reveal the treasure - the gold star. The ghost can push you into the holes. But it can also help you to become faster. Let the ghost push you through bottlenecks by which you otherwise would not fit through.
- There is a pixie mode. Lots of glitter and 10% time bonus on your score if you can find the butterfly.
- A new Easy mode. Here you can play a classic labyrinth. Some holes are capped, however.
- If you prefer vintage and sophisticated mode, then play the pro mode. With no cover and plink plink.
- If you would like to compete with the rest of the world, you can submitt your scores to the Openfeint social gaming community. Check out, what your buddies and friends do.
- Another quick message on Facebook - no problem.
Enjoy the game.
Cheers
Thomas

It is possible to say No to openfeint. You don't have to sign up.
I decided to integrate it cause of the leaderboard and facebook. I thought it would be cool to have something like this.
At the beginning I was trying to make my own scoreboard. But it looked like in the 80's. I thought it should me more up to date.
Is openfeint a spam community? I did not allow to read phone state.
It is no problem for me to compile a openfeint free version, if people prefer something like that.
Do you think this makes sence for more than you you?
@kcls
The system requirements are : android 2.1 or higher (better)
and a arm7 cpu.I'm testing the performance with a samsung galaxy s. If it is all right there, then it all right for me.
Saying no doesn't stop then from taking up space on my sd card with their folder, or redirecting me every time I open the app if I delete the folder. Not a huge deal, was just curious. Thanks for the app.

@Droidificator.
I agree. I removed openfeint! I'll itntegrate my own highscore board. It will respect your privacy.
Thank's for opening my mind.
Awesome! I wish more devs were open to the idea. They don't pay you guys to include it do they? I certainly don't want to take any money away from devs over this, I'm just a little neurotic about sd card space since I got the One S.
Thanks again!

You don't get paid. They just give you something (Leaderboard, Achievements, Online Community, facebook, twitter). You have to give them something in return. Permissions.
It is not so easy for a one man show (like me) to integrate all these features. You need to run a sql database for the score board, need to go through different sdk's and and and. Openfeint gives you something like that out of the box.
I like to compete with others. Thats why the scoreboard is so important for me.
I was testing my own sql scoreboard and wasn't too happy with it. You know - I don't know too much about sql. Thats why I kicked my own leaderboard in the trash and decided to use openfeint.
Now it looks like I have to get it out of teh trash can.
Thanks anyway!
Cheers

Hi guys. I'm new here. I'm young developer from Poland. I have 17 years and my passion is playing guitar and making games. Joe The Runner is my first android game. Just run, jump and slide. I don't know if it don't have bugs because i dont have enought phones to test it ;/. If you will find any bugs please dont rate 1/5 . Give some info about error in this thread and you can be sure i will fix it. In game there is no annoying ads. The only ad is show when you press button: "FREE COINS FOR ADS" . You can buy 2 more champions in game with this coins but you can't buy coin with real money. You must run 400m = 1 coin or fastest way added in this update(1.16) watch ad and get 4 coins. I know that this app isn't some super ultra giga awesome app but It's my first app and i hope you like it. Like my friends said: "It's good when you taking a s**t "

Good job on your first game. If I come across any bugs I will let you know.
Hello
Hi
I am new to the whole programming and android thing, so I thought I would look at some games that other developers have made. Before sharing my game since I'm quite shy . So putting aside as to how terrible I am at your game (played it for 30 mins never made it past 250m.. -_-'), I did spot some bugs, for one when you do watch the 15 sec video, you don't actually get the 4 coins straight away, you have to click something in order for the counter to be updated. Another bug is that when you are running the amount of meters run is a bit to the right that it gets clipped off the screen. Not a bug, more of a critique but I wish that the controls were more responsive, I feel like when I jump there is a delay. But I also have a question, what is the point of have a link to your game page on your screen?
Thanks for good words and bugs. I check this and on my xperia e I dont have any delay but on faster Landvo l500s i have. It must be something with fps. I will check it tomorrow because today im really tired ;/ With this 4 gold i notice this and fix it already but i want to fix all bugs before i will update this on google play. And... what link? I Don't be shy. We cant be shy in game development if we want some people to play our games. I'm new on this forum but what i can see now this community is awesome and I should come here earlier. Again thanks guys for your good words and support it's really nice to see people playing game you made
1DEA If you have game and you too shy to post it here you can add testers in google play dev console. I can help you test your game if you want
Good job and i say You made a nice game ^^
Bigggg thanks!!!
