Hi Spacetime Studios,
first i want to say that you did an amazing work with (pocket) legends. It's one of the best mobile game i ever played. :)
Here's a few thing i wanted to say:
- i would be glad to help you start a translation of the game in french, it could be a significant feature for other languages too, and support for special caracters.
- More informations about the game and in-game systems, for newbie players. Youtube videos tutorials links could do the trick.
A comprehensive video explaining the basics of trading, doing quests, join games, stores auctions, interacting with other players.
each time a reach forest haven, theres always guys asking "how to trade, how to, blabla, and so. " there's a lack of support at this i think.
After they pass the first step, to the village new players should have a choice to see that video, as a little guide to the game.
Plus it could be a great video to advertise the game, to show how rich it is.
- i prefered the older Icon of PL with the shield. Even if the elv is great loooking, the app Icon have to be neutral to any class i think.
the loading screen look a liitle to "flat". vector art is visually not deep enough compared to bitmap draws. The one before was better to me, because it was more immersive.
-better character/item designs/styling (i can help if you need.) U did a great job but it could look better. :)
-Alien Oasis Pack / frozen Nightmare-Skeller return pack.
- Survival Maps: defend an objective from waves of enemies with increasing difficulty could be awesome.
- new maps / bad guys.
I found a lot of great ideas in the forum, vampire wolves, ninjas, islands and other steampunk volcanos...
To me a cool addition could be more visually different enemies and bosses, like spiders, centipeds, worms, slimes, ghosts, turrets, flying mobs..
i know it need new character rigs, and may hurt polycount and ressources. but its missing to me.
environement interaction:
poisonous gas, slowing ice winds, crater heats, healing/curing herbs/oasis and why not a day/night cycle...
till i don't know how your engine work and his limits so i don't know what is possible and what is not. So I stop there with graphics upgrades.
-Mac version, a PC version is on the work, is a Mac OSX is also on the way? As a mac user, i would really love that, and good reason to spend more plats. Since i don't own an iPad (yet) small screens are kinda frustrating sometimes.
-Oh and last suggestion:
the possibility to compare stuffs you buying/trading to your actual equiped gear to see if it's really better and what it looks like.
By the way, i think that PL is a very awesome game, a bit expensive for now because its still young, but it's already in some ways better than many console and PC games.
keep up the good work, and plats will drop :)
