NOOOOOOOOOOOO! posted by Artix on
NOOOO (2).jpg

 Battle Gem's release officially pushed back to mid-January.

After a painfully intense month of working late nights and through the weekends to finish our 1st major mobile game-- Battle Gems got so close but is just not ready for release yet. We invite you to join us in long bellow of "NOOOOOOOO!" but hope that you also believe it is better for us to release a FINISHED, bug-free, fun, and polished game, than to push something out that is incomplete, untested and very likely broken. Thank you for being so understanding and supportive during this huge disappointment. WE ALL WANTED TO PLAY BATTLE GEMS THIS MONTH! Apple’s app submissions are closed from Friday, December 20th until the end of the month.  Needless to say, we will be working through the holidays to finish the remaining features and issues holding back release.

DETAILS

  • Cage, Slime, Lava, and a few other special boards are now working
  •  The Map is getting a significant change
  • The game will now be released with MORE than 256 quests
  • Shop is being redesigned
  • Attempting to add PvP as part of the initial release (Originally this was scheduled for a later update)
