No news since several days concerning GD,

No comments to bugs, i.e. lvl 88 scoring issue

No removement of this stupid comments in this forum

I don't  know, but a little bit more time spending in GD would be great or any info "sorry next 4 weeks no support" but I think, that GD will loose a lot of fans

beofre i wouldve said, "now way" that the game itself is good enough to stand on its own.  But after playing Eliminate (WITH ACTIVE DEVS) and Chess Elite, as well as online RTS ( warfare inc, robocalypse) I'm not findint much time to play this.  For a dev who's game relied a lot on word of mouth in the beginning you would think that he'd spend just a lil time in the forums, i mean it is HIS website and the game's.  I agree, a simple "sorry guys, been busy" would be nice.  If anything at least from his tweets.

Yup

Yup, I'm still here.  Sorry for the silence....

A new version of GDS is almost ready, and a new game geoSpark is about to pop.  I've been preoccupied by a lot of stuff, and forum monitoring got lost in the shuffle.  My bad... as they say!

What will be in the update?

 How about a list of changes for the new version of GDS. That would be great!

GDS Update

The update will include:

Whatever the latest and greates version of OpenFeint is.  I believe this one will finally have disabiling as a feature! :)

It will add in-app purchasing capability to buy level packs.  This doesn't mean there won't be more free levels, but since making great levels is extremely time consuming, and I'm having others help me with this, adding in some economic benifit and risk sharing for them.  If this works out, it'll mean lots more levels!

We have the first purchasable level pack with 10 new levels (5 med  / 5 hard).  They are going through testing and tweaking now.

I've tested the mechanics of the level pack purchase, and it works... just needs a lot better UI put on top of it.

Also the bug with massive scores rolling over is fixed... finally, I hope for real this time.  Talk about a hard thing to test!  I fake it, of course, to test... but there are various places where it can fail in the code so faking it can also bypass it. Boo.
