Preview: Kingdoms iPhone

[Tigairius]

Hi guys, I've been pretty secretive about this project since it has been started, and I felt that I owe you guys an update since everyone has been waiting so patiently.

I promised that Kingdoms iPhone would bring great things to Graal Kingdoms, and I still maintain what I say. We have a lot more freedom with Kingdoms iPhone because we have completely remade the systems from scratch.

Right now, I will outline some of the things we have done:
- Battle system is done
- Leveling system
- Questing system
- Guilds system
- Party system
- GUI and controls, including hotkeys, etc.
- Spell system
- Item system
- Monsters and NPC intelligence
- Inventory
- Hundreds of levels worth of content
- Much more

We're proud of what we have so far, but we're going to continue working to provide the best quality for when we release the game.

I asked one of my graphics artists, Cloud Rubeus, to get us a nice image showcasing the potential of Kingdoms iPhone - this is a land we will probably be releasing shortly after we release the game.



I will keep you guys updated throughout the major stages of our development. I hope you enjoy this preview.

The image looks great, as does all the other stuff I've seen on Kingdoms iPhone. It's nice to see quality being put before quantity on Graal.

Absolutely beautiful.

Awesome. Cannot wait... for the PC version to be updated!

Right now, there is no release date. We are hoping for sometime before summer of 2011 though.

Cloud doesn't need an iPhone, he'll power RP his way through PC.

Kingdoms has potential, hope to see it come out nicely.

I guess that's supposed to be a swamp? Looks nice.

As someone who has played Graal Classic for the iPhone I just hope you guys make accounts for the iPhone GK because when switching ipods your account doesn't transfer only the paid app. Also I hope that all the players who have paid for gold will get access to the server via pc because playing on the itouch/iphone for long periods of time can sorta get old.
Also the image looks nice but is it a swamp or fog? =P

[LordSquirt]

Looks very good! Good job and I'm excited to play when it comes out :]

[Soala]

Looks absolutely great, this will be a hit for sure.

We've considered doing this and we're still unsure if we want to mess with the headache that is involved with account creation (accounts being sold, accounts being hacked, account restoration, account management, account recovery, etc). However, it might need to be more necessary since we will be heavily economy based, unlike the other two iPhone servers where you can't really trade. Player-to-player trading is already opening up a lot of headaches that we will be dealing with from scams, hackers, etc.

It's looking amazing, I can't wait.

[Sky]

Sounds good, Tig. Can't wait!
