Hi,

first of all, a big thank you to everyone that has downloaded the alpha for v0.6.12 and tried it on various devices. The input that we get from you is invaluable in being able to release a quality product to Google Play. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to make such a great game.

Anyway, the first beta for v0.6.12 is now available from the usual location:
http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/downloads/list

Changes since v0.6.12a1:
  • Worldmap files will not show up in gallery views.
  • Setting to disable UI animations (such as the combat bar)
  • Added sign areas to all graves (thanks Ian for the idea!)
  • Always show confirmation dialog box when overwriting a savegame
  • Sell 50 bonemeal potions at a time, instead of 10.
  • Center small maps on device, instead of being in the top left corner.
  • Finally fixed the graphics glitch that some people had reported about v0.6.12a1.
Please report any errors that you might find, so that we can fix them before going fully public with this release!

Thank you all for helping with the beta testing! Hopefully, we can release this to Google Play soon, and start working on the exciting new stuff for v0.7.0.

Also, I forgot to add: a huge thank you goes out to everyone that helped hunt down the redrawing bug. As it turns out, the bug had to do with the worldmap renderer colliding with the usual display renderer. Any developers that might be interested in the coding details for it are welcome to read the blogpost about it:

Can you update the repository, so we can update translations before the release? (for example: "enable animations")

Just tried myself and I can download the apk successfully from a computer and my device. Can you provide any more information as to what the exact issue is?

Is it suppost to ask EVERY time you go to save the file (it says that the file is a differnet name and asks if i wish to continue) ? I am a manic saver in my game and it's kinda annoying to be honest.
"overwrite savegame?
This savegame contains a different player name (noob) than your current player name (noob). Are you sure you want to overwrite this savegame?
"
((notice the names on the file are exactly the same))

WooT! Just got back to Fallhaven to restock my potion supplies. 50 is much better than 10


Excellent work! :mrgreen:

♡♡♡ Thank you ♡♡♡

♡ No graphics glitch anymore
♡ I love those sign in tombstones
♡ Big thank for option to disable UI animations

- new confirmation dialog box when saving confuses me. Now i do not anymore know are im saving over current build or some another with different name. IMO the old way was better.

Edited and add following:

Places with weird world map;

-In Flagstone prison there is no map until the screen where you need to know "daylight shadow" . For now on there is map..

- Why BlackWater area map is not part of thd world map ?

-Why there is no map in bug and spider cave

I agree! This conformation message makes me scared that i am saving over another file. The old set up was a lot better.

This map is very sweet... You can scroll and zoom! Thanks to everyone involved! :D

One thing I noticed which could be a spoiler is that you see everything in the tile once you set foot in the tile (ie Flagstone Prison)... then again, you have to invoke the map... so the option to be spoiled is up to the user.

Also, if your load another saved game and look at the map, you are able to scroll and view the locations your other character has visited.

Again, this map is a great addition to the game, You all deserve a round ;)
