well it is only beta so that is why the polish hasnt been rubbed in yet. But i think the first thing to do is fix the bugs, and then implement the training of the robots (i foresee this being hard, but a fun part of the game)
[Android Apps and Games] z33dev33l:
Epic game. Kudos

[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Thank you Adevem I take note, and everything will be corrected on the next release (probably this week end)

I updated 10 mins ago the game, with a lot of bug fixed and some new functionalities :)
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
Well i downloaded the new apk and i didn't need to transfer my account, when it opened it was already logged in and seemed like nothing had happened

I just watched a fight. I could only see my health change, the other guy started at zero and only my health was going down. My money still has not changed.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Are you sure you installed the game after download ?

I just did the process again so I clicked on the downloaded apk file from the notification bar.

It asked to replace the game, and once it's finished I had to transfert my account.

If you didn't have it, I understand why you can't see changes
[Android Apps and Games] finsmaniac02:
So ever since yesterday afternoon, no matter what tactics I set and what speed vs defense, etc settings I set, my robot barely ever moves during a fight.

I lost like 4 mini fights and I have done all the trainings some more, deleted all of my tactics and reset them, all in hopes that maybe my settings just aren't set? Is anyone else having similar problems?

P. S. I did get yesterday's update and this morning's update
[Android Apps and Games] Mitty1990:
Very nice game mate no bugs found so far :D
[Android Apps and Games] kidtk:
Nice game kudos

[Android Apps and Games] Ik Desire:
Just updated. It didn't ask for account transfer, but the changes where there, so update was successful. In mini fight, only my opponents health was visible and movement was very slow.

[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
When are we going to be able to train with the weapons? I select a weapon then click "Train" and I get the error about being under construction.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
@Sk17z0

Hummmm soon... :)

Actualy the game engine doesn't use the weapon score for now. So the screen is here because it will be done before the public release, but I need to create each game, and it's not done yet.

@ALL

The credits doesn't change yet when you do a challenge, because we are in early testing mode and I don't want you loose all because of my bugs :)

I think I will unlock this feature this week end before the tournament.

Also, I will create new tournaments soon because I didn't espect so much players :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sunjhoon:
query

As mentioned before the tatics would be nice to clarify them aswell.

i did a fight simulation but my droid just runs around very slowly and destroyed and i changed the settings etc (endurance and agression and different wepons) but it does not seem to be listening.

Should i uninstall and reinstall?

let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
No, don't uninstall, it's part of the server.

It's the first time I see some robots to be that slow.

It's definitely a bug in my algorythm

The first problem of this game is the contact part when you have 1000 users... and I couldn't see it before.

I will work on it to be able to search for :

-the new players

-by country

-the most active

Because it's frustating to challenge a guy who never comes back in the game...
[Android Apps and Games] hannibalskip:
Downloaded and installed on my Dell Streak works well, Great game love it!
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Hi all,

I admit I had a big stupid bug yesterday...

Now the fights are back to normal, the Droid moves and shoots according to your account specifications
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
OK. Thanks. I was just making sure just in case if it was a bug or something.
[Android Apps and Games] PGleo86:
Downloading now, looks good.

Will post feedback later
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Sorry but the next 9 hours the "search contact" section will not be available because I'm working on it :(

For the new users, if you don't have friend I suggest you to do mini fights because the server will find an opponent for you.
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
Theres no real reason to keep playing if the minifights dont garner you anything, and if challenges dont give you money.

I understand that these will in the future but i am talking about right now.

An idea which would be good now and in the future, is to include a level with the rank. And you can level up, say minifights give you 1xp for easy, 3xp for medium, 5xp for hard, and a challenge will give you 10xp, and then you can give out larger xp boosts for tournament wins.

It can be purely for status (i.e. doesnt make your droid any better, but instead can be used to see how good someone is likely to be)
[Android Apps and Games] DesireFreak:
Cant close it while starting and having no internet connection. Network error comes repeatly
[Android Apps and Games] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Great game so far. You still have a long way to go, but the concept of this game is intruiging. I am optimistic, that this game will have a great future.

Keep it up. C'est tres bien :D
[Android Apps and Games] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
However, I can't save my avatar.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
yep yep yep,

the last hour the server was down. RRRrrrr now it's back to normal, and you can search contacts like before.

I'm going to sleep... see you tomorow !
[Android Apps and Games] aznzzboi:
TIme to test out this game.
[Android Apps and Games] tenble:
bon idée pour un jeu. merci =)
[Android Apps and Games] aznzzboi:
Not sure if it's my internet, but I have full signal on wi-fi.

But it took a while to load.

When I reload it, the app force closed.
[Android Apps and Games] candyfarm:
amazing graphics!
[Android Apps and Games] aznzzboi:
NVM I GOT IT TO WORK!

I think the menu should have a new layout.

The scrolling is a bit choppy.

Needs to have "BACK" or "FINISH" button
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
I'm not to keen on this. Why not just it account based like you have it now? I see no reason why anyone or any app should have access to that. I'm very weary about what information and services apps access on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Actually my problem is this :

-Every time you update the game, it's like a new install, your phone erases the game datas.

-If you want one day to change your phone, you need to login on your account.

-If, in the future, you get more weapons, it will be like a new app on your phone.

So I could make your email mandatory and ask you to remember a password, like on every website.

But here we are on a phone and it's painfull.

For now I generate a password, stored in your phone and you can't see it. This password is used on every request you do (get contact list, make a challenge...)

This password is part of the game, so it's erased on every update, and other apps can't access this.

So I need to find a unique number or word that can identify each player, and wich is not part of the game.

I looked in android system and the IMEI was my best hope...

If somebody has a new idea, I'm open :)
[Android Apps and Games] ymtan:
unlock code

hi cyberniko,

i am trying to get a unlock code sent to my email but nothing has arrived...

not even my junk email...

can you provide me with 1 via pm?
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Hi,

I looked in the database and I don't find a profile matching your xda nickname 'ymtan'.

Maybe you created an account with a different one.

Or maybe my new PM was you ? :)

Anyway, until I find a technical solution for this issue, to get your accont back, type your login in the "password" textfield.

You don't need to ask a new password by email.

And everybody should fill the email in the account page because it's also useful for the fights notifications :)
[Android Apps and Games] HairyMerkin:
I'm giving it a go now.
[Android Apps and Games] iakovidis:
Ok , i will give it a try and report back

1rst report : a) No Greece or Other Country on the account setting page. 2) No on-screen button to return after results in training center , i have to use "back" button but as an android user i don't want to , as there are apps and games that exits after one single press. 3)There is no good reason why to put my email , so i didn't :)
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
The credit management is now working!

So if you loose win or loose a challenge, you win or loose your bet

If you win a minifight you get 10 credits.

If you loose a mini fight you don't loose credits.

It's not well updated on the phone, but it's working on the server.

I will update the apk game tomorow and after this your credit will be updated on your phone as soon as the fight is over.
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
Im the same way.
[Android Apps and Games] UpSpin:
just played a bit again, challenged you and won :D

It's fun, but a bit complicated to use.

The bottom menu is somehow structured but there are too many items, and the main problem I have is that it does not fit on the screen but it must get scrolled, which isn't perfectly smooth and difficult to use.

I don't have a perfect solution at the moment, but maybe the best is to redesign the home menu. I don't think that it's necessary to show performance, number of weapons and number of tacticts in the home menu. Or just put it side by side in one row as symbols without text.

Next the news. They take a lot of space, better try to fit the news in one row and shorten the text, like 21min - Mini Fight: Won

This way there's more space for future additions to the home menu.

Next the droid properties. One idea:

Instead of three, put them in a single tab, maybe called 'Droid'

If you open it you see a picture of your droid. If you click on the cannon a new window opens with the cannon settings, if you click on the thing on top of the tank the brain window opens, if you click on the body a new shield window opens, if you click on the don't know the training window opens.

And now the most difficult one, the last few tabs, contacts, fights, etc.

Maybe the same principle, but there I don't know it yet.

Settings: I don't think it's often used, so maybe just put is as a button in the home window. Or put it as a button in the main menu if you press the hardware menu button.

ps: also to try avoid scrolling as often as possible. In each challenge submenu I have to scroll down to continue, not a good solution.
[Android Apps and Games] rar26:
Sorry for having to ask but why does the game have to access my phone calls?
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
"Sorry for having to ask but why does the game have to access my phone calls?"

It doesn't have to do it... it's my mistake.

Actualy I played with some advertizers, some samples from internet...

Some months ago I wanted to get the email from the phone user to create the player account automatically, and access to his contact list to point out friends using the game.

But finaly I never did it, but I forgot to erase the permission.

It's the READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

So it's not used neither by adMob nor my game.

Thank you to point it out because I know it's sensible for some people.

I will erase it in the next update, maybe tomorow :)

One day I will do a separate app who will scann your contact list to find your friends using the game. And because it will be another standalone app, only people who want it will install it.
[Android Apps and Games] GMK83:
Looks good. Trying it out
[Android Apps and Games] rar26:
Thanks for the quick reply! Ill be installing and playing on my lunch break :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Why not do the same thing that Storm8 games do and use the unique Android ID of each phone?
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
In the process of downloading the game ill be leaving feedback as much as possible

oddly enough i was literally thinking about a game similar to this and wondering why it hasn't developed yet lol
[Android Apps and Games] sixk:
what about having alittle story to go along with it.

it would be more appealing in some way...

unless you just like busting each others robots for no aparent reason...
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
@miztaken1312

I think I found a way to go : the mac address of the wifi card.

I have to test it but it would solve this problem.

@sixk

I would like to not need a story. I would like the players to make the story, like a lot of movie like "the gamer"

The story will be the tournaments, the ranks, the best warrior of the week, the world champion...

I would like to enhance a player, to give the aibility to everybody to bet on the final fight of a big tournament...

My dream is to make an iphone application, and make a big fight between the iphone users VS android users... and see android as winner :)

Facebook didn't make any story, but it's users did

[Android Apps and Games] GoOdF3lLaZ:
Hey cyberniko,

I've been playing around with the game since I last posted n I don't think its random to get over 700 on the reflex game. I've gotten it twice. I think u just need to b real quick n accurate on the target. Some fine tuning n it shud b good. Really enjoying it tho.:D
[Android Apps and Games] ymtan:
pmed you...

still cannot transfer
[Android Apps and Games] msolus:
Very cool. I played with the Day 1 build and had a few issues with force closes. Will update to the latest build.

I love the concept though. I have wanted to design a game exactly like this for years. It would be really cool if you could see an avatar of your character with some interactions etc.

Keep up the great work :D
[Android Apps and Games] rar26:
For some reason when I pick mini game, I always loose! Funny thing my life bar has some life in it!
[Android Apps and Games] robnez:
yeah really nice lookin game so far. gonna def keep tryin it :D
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
all my scores are nearly maxed out except for the reflex. i need to get hopped up on energy drinks and speed just for this game lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
Same for me.

I know it is so difficult.
[Android Apps and Games] sixk:
well I meant a story like the good old NES days where all you get is few text.

"The Year is 2050 where humans bet on robots for enjoyment"

(have a metal like intro starting)

(have a blinking "touch here to start" or "touch to start enjoying")

haha just something like that.

I thought this more of a game instead of a social network but

I see where you are going with it and its a nice and fresh idea.

speaking of network what about clans???

that would be nice to be able to create a clan.
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I've played and tested the game and so far it's okay not perfect but it's coming along.

So far the only problems I have experienced have been a few force close's after and before one of the training mini games.

Also I've experienced an infinite load time. The game loaded and loaded forever, until I had to actually reboot my phone.

Something that also is a bit bothersome is that the entire game needs an internet connection. Why not have a work around where the game only connects when updating your stats and when theres a battle.

[Android Apps and Games] player911:
I can't even create an account. I put in any name and random Countries and I just get a message saying "An Error has occurred :("

Using Player911 as the username.

If I just type random letters, it refreshes and goes back to the main screen asking for an account.

If I hit the back button fast enough, I can see the main menu... but once I stop hitting back, it goes to the sign in page.

Forced closed a few times with me screwing with it. I did see a Feedback form once. Help is empty.

[Edit]

I think my data connection is acting up. I just wiped and reflashed the latest CM nightly to double check.

[UPDATE]

Nope. Wiped, flashed, reflashed, downloaded and still same thing. I'm only on WiFi, no cellular (if that makes a difference). I'll keep it installed and try again over the weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
Finish the story. LOL
[Android Apps and Games] ppzoid:
Sounds very neat. I'm downloading right now.
[Android Apps and Games] iammichel:
Can't access tournament information now that it has ended: keep getting FC's...

When's a new version coming out?
[Android Apps and Games] Cy_the_Slider:
Have exactly the same problem. The error you get is because he seems to create the user account somehow on the first try and on the next tries the account name is taken already.

Hope this gets fixed, the game seems to be exiting ^__^
[Android Apps and Games] oriongaby:
Just grabbed the game and I have a suggestion, make it able to switch to landscape mode on the account creating screen. That way it is easier to type on the screen keyboard.

EDIT: Can't create an account, whenever I hit create either it refreshes or gives me an error.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Hi all,

A new beta version is coming in the next hours !

I know we had problems for diplay the results of the first tournament, but it worked on the server ! and... I know who is the winner :)
[Android Apps and Games] gabrialxue:
If you require help for typing up a good background story and stories for maybe tournaments etc, I would be happy to lend my talents. I've been writing short stories for my own enjoyment for quite awhile and would like to help.

On the note of bugs, I'm having trouble starting the game, when I run the application, all I see is the transfer account page and it keeps error when I try to enter anything.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
@gabrialxue

New pm in your inbox :)

@all

new update on the server !
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
Good news about the new update, but i missed the tournament :( new one soon?
[Android Apps and Games] tattevajoo:
This game looks interesting, unfortunately it keeps force closing on my Desire Z every time i launch it.
[Android Apps and Games] doomed151:
Looks nice.

Trying it out on my lowly Wildfire.
[Android Apps and Games] iammichel:
New fighting environments: Antarctic, Dubai, Frankfurt, Vatican!
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
Thx for the game, trying now.

It would be great if you could update the thread title when you post an update (maybe "[GAME] Iron Soldiers - last update: 20101212")
[Android Apps and Games] ppzoid:
I've tried creating an account, but it doesn't work, too. Any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] D3fault121:
Would really like to try this game but every version just FCs on me.

Droid X rooted stock froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
My country is not available on the list (austria). Why is this necessary?

It's not possible to exit the app from the account creation screen, hat to exit via task manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Cy_the_Slider:
The last update did solve my problem and I could sign in. Really nice game, could evolve into something huge, hope it does :-)
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
usually if you can't sign in, or can't make an account, there is a server side issue. So just come back to it in a few hours.

The force closures are still pretty constant, but i can get through minifights and challenges without eliciting a FC so it doesn't bother me too much as they will be fixed eventually.

Thank you very much for the new zones to fight in.

Challenge me -> Patriot.Aus

-> Just after i wrote this i jumped on and went to check to see my challenge that ended, and when i click 'result' it doesn't lead anywhere.

Also i have said this before, but shouldn't things like 'result' have a capital letter?
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
Just a grammar thing.

When you do a mini fight but are over your limit it says "Sorry, you did too much fights today" it should be "Sorry, you have started too many minifights today"
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Adding to that, would you like some people to do some translations for you into other languages?

[Android Apps and Games] superchilpil:
this game FC's on my htc incredible running the desire z rom.. :(

anyone have any ideas why?
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
Hi everybody,

Sorry superchilpil I don't know why it does force close...I developp on a HTC Desire HD so the rom sould be very similar.

I will check the bug reports and try to figure out where is the problem.

For the translations, I sould have at list ... english :)

I know my writing is not very good so I will upload the text files if some of you can help.

After that, if you want more language you will be able to translate it in your native language.

Basically I waited to include more functionnalities (and so more text), before put the text files online.

Thank you for your help, I hope you enjoy this game.

Nicolas.
[Android Apps and Games] ppzoid:
Force closes over and over. Even the bug reports crash. But I'm still looking forward to the game ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] superchilpil:
even though it doesnt work i still want to say thanks :)

does your game depend on anything? like ROM wise because i know the port im running although its running great. it has alot of framework mods and parts of the rom are ripped out to make it run
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
"does your game depend on anything?"

It should not !

At the begining I need the wifi mac adress to identify each player. It's mandatory to not have to transfert account when you update, and also when I will make new contents like new weapons on the market.

But this function is not supposed to throught exeptions.

After that I have the bug report manager and finally the main activity.

If a desire Z user could send me the console output it will help me to solve the problem.

For this I can send a notice for non developper members.

The bug report is made to avoid that process but the bug seems to hapen before the first loading.
[Android Apps and Games] superchilpil:
well i know that my phone doesnt know its own mac address due to the desire port

when i have some free time im going to flash CM6.1 because im sure that rom works
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
OK,

Because if your ROM doesn't support this the function may return a null object causing the bug (like if you don't have any wifi card).

So I will make an update in a couple of hours for this.

After, you will have to enter your email in the app, and to ask it to create a password for the transfert. And do so for each update.

This password procedure is done in case of you change your phone, but you will have tu login also after every update...
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
I will be happy to aid in fixing the text files.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberniko:
@superchilpil

I updated the game with 2 more checks for the wifi thing.

I hope the feedback will be good.

(@other users, you don't need to update if you did this week end)
