Zaccharia for Android: Initial Release Discussion

[Zsolt]

First of all I'm sorry for rare updating of this topic, but as you could see there still are numerous bugs which have to be fixed in the iOS build. So let's talk about current development status of Android build.

The management has made a decision that our first title for Android will be the Dirt Masters than Zaccaria Pinball come out. The main reason of this decision was that we wanted to learn the procedure that needs to send and approve a build for Google Play. Also we have to define which selling option we should use.

According to our plans Dirt Masters will be sent to Google Play for review this week and Android development of Zaccaria Pinball continues right after. The first Android build will include all 26 solid state and 1 electro-mechanical pinball tables, features and fixes which are in the iOS build. We would like to release it in this month.

Wow, that's great news!

Let us know if you want early feedback on your Dirt Masters release, or if you want to invite us to a Google Plus beta testing group to collect early feedback.

We're here to help, and want you to succeed on Android!

Also, there is no approval process for Android like there is on iOS. You submit, and the game is up in around 3 to 8 hours depending on geography.

I ended up buying everything available from ASK Homework on iTunes. I have to say that of all of them, Dirt Masters was the most disappointing. There is no steering, but I can deal with that. Problem is, where's the dirt? This thing should have dust and dirt flying everywhere, covering the vehicles and everything else. It should make a complete mess until you can barely see to continue playing.

That would be more realistic, yes? Needs an update with adjustable particle FX. Just my 2 cents.

This is not released yet on the Google store. Dirt Road Trucker 3D is there. It has steering problems but people like it.

 

[Kolchak357]

I enjoy dirt masters. Some of the vehicles are awful but it's fun to use the monster truck. I also like some of the strange modes, like pushing a giant soccer ball through the course.

 

[Mad07]

My wish for Xmas :
the learning curve is fast and Pinball will be available on Google soon. On other hand: I'm ready for Beta test

 

[SilverBalls]

Great news! I won't need to go back to the iOs world after all . I will buy the full membership on day 1.

if anyone knows how to pause Christmas to give Zsolt more time, then please speak up.

Finally we have managed to finish development of Dirt Masters for android devices. I can tell you that we have faced numerous problems during the port that makes development time much longer as we expected. This delay means we will not able to release Zaccaria Pinball to android this year. Since Zaccaria Pinball uses the same engine as Dirt Masters you have a chance to test the engine on your android device. It would be a big help for us if you could download and test Dirt Masters on your device and let us know if you experience any trouble, issue or bug.

The team is the same, just the company name different.

The team is the same, just the company name different.

The Play Store website link still resolves to the outdated http://askhomework.hu/Welcome/ASK_Homework.html

Is that intentional?
