Highscores just got done. You'll see that in the next update too.

Any suggestions welcome. Can't promise anything but stuff may make it into the game :)

Awesome, will it be like a leaderboard or something of that concept? Also, when do you predict the update will come?

Excellent! Maybe the snow trees can have ornaments. And how about a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the snow map? Just for the holidays though. A Santa easter egg quest wouldn't hurt. Perhaps a green and bipedal NPC. Oh and as for how to get to the snow map... Well, a certain snow or ice golem might be willing to let you pass over the ice bridge which leads to the snow map after you complete a certain quest. (Wink.) And on another note, what things do you plan to include in this update? (Can you give a list please?) I'm really excited for it!

Um - here's what I have so far:

* Power saving stuff (less CPU intensive) so should run faster on things like bluestacks (though I dont test on bluestacks)

* Quest system stuff (beta, may be bugged), only grinding style quests at the moment, but no longer difficult to add new types now

* Easier map design (for me to add new maps)

* A few fixups to crappy code that broke quests, or caused other weirdness in-game

* Graveyard 'safe zones' are a little more fairer if you're attacked by wildlife

* Because of the quest system, all the starting maps have new quests (and more NPCs)

* Fix rain sometimes starting in one 'block' when you sometimes change maps

* Snowflakes

* Snow map (obviously)

* Access to more items (because the quests automatically pick ones that are relevant to your level)

* Fix a framerate(speed) issue when people did a *lot* of killing. Conversely, fix decals not displaying when you re-login or change maps.

Missing:

* Quest journal so you know where on earth your quest is and what to do once you've accepted it

Todo:

* Work out how to deploy (blackberry and google play both 'approve' the client update at different times, so I have to plan this correctly to minimise downtime for people)

* Instructions on how to use the 'equip' screen

* Option to turn auto-translate off/on

* lots of other little bits

* Cake.

Hiscores are *very* simple at the minute, based of kills/deaths/level/etc,etc/etc. It's a leaderboard and will show the top 200 players. Toying with the idea that if you don't login for a while, your score will decrement slowly so that new people will have a chance gain noterietay.

As a side note - any of you have Android Wear devices?

Hear hear, using moto 360 😀 Glad for the new highscores update as it would be easier for fighting events! Looking forward to making new videos on the new map as well. Thanks man! Also if possible, could you maybe fix the gloves/trousers so they can be equipped as well. If ure free of course. But any update is good as well :)

forgot about the gloves/trousers issue - thoguht I had originally fixed it though possibly not. When I looked the only remaining issue was that the item level was too high for the user to equip it (i need to sort that out so it's easier to see things like that from the users perspective)

Im glad your fixing the bug. I also have some suggestion for new wildlife in the snow area! If its not too much trouble to add them, perhaps you could add Snow wolves and polar bears. Or maybe even walruses, thats if you plan to add a water area. Also, as a little extra fun idea, you could add evil penguins with red eyes, maybe the druids cast a spell on them to control them or....something" :)

Those are GENIUS ideas! Maybe a Snow or Ice Spirit to go along with those. (Possibly an elemental?) And an evil snowman too of course. This might even be a good place to add a boss! :)

Yea, new animals are a problem - I'm not really an artist, and if I try to draw something it's probably not going to end well for the bear (each 'animal' needs 16 seperate drawings to show up/down/left/right, walking and atacking :)
