Forge Android App: 11-13-2016 Alpha 1.5.58.002

The QuestWinLose screen is now ready. Check it out:

As you can see, I decided to make all the panels that appear on the right in the desktop game instead appear as dialogs on the mobile game. Part of this decision was that there isn't room on the mobile game to display more than what appears on the standard WinLose screen, part of it was making use of existing dialogs for displaying lists of cards instead of having to code a lot of new UI logic.

One nice thing this does is make you really appreciate every reward you get from winning a match instead of having to scroll through the list to see everything.

I'm definitely interested in feedback on this implementation. Let me know if you have any ideas for improving it.

With that, I think I'm ready to release quest mode. I'll post an update once its released.

Thanks.

Just released 1.5.22.004. Quest mode is now offically live!!!

As mentioned, the Bazaar, Tournaments, and Quest Preferences screens are not yet available but will be coming soon. Hopefully what's there will keep everyone satisfied until then.

Thanks for the support. Enjoy!

Hi again,

Found another bug. I've added a Melira Pod deck, I have Melira on the field, activate Pod saccing Kitchen Finks, the sac goes off and the Finks die and come back giving me my health but then the tutor effect of the Pod doesn't activate. I am given the opportunity to look at my deck but then there's usually another step to choose the tutored card, this step doesn't activate.

Done this ~3 times now, same result.

Unable to play quest mode due to error in attached log file.

I have the same crash Timmer has.

Create a new quest, select "Medium", and leave everything else the default values.

I'll investigate that later today when I get the chance. Thanks for the report.

Can you reproduce this on the desktop game? It sounds like something that wouldn't be specific to the mobile game, though I could be wrong. If it is reproducible on the desktop game, could you please post your bug report to the Forge Beta thread?

I just released 1.5.22.005, which should fix this issue as well as a couple others I found in and around starting your first quest. Please let me know if you still experience any issues with quest mode.

Thanks.

I had to delete the old quest file manually but I'm still getting a crash.

[timmermac]

Same as before. Quest Achievements this time.

Same as before. Quest Achievements this time.

Just released 1.5.22.006. Hopefully that should fix things completely.

Thanks that seemed to work:

Can long pressing in the deck editor toggle just that filter off? Right now the functionality seems to be pressing turns just that filter on (turn off everything else). And long pressing.. I'm not sure, displays the name of the filter?

Typically in quest mode I like turning just certain things off (lands, colors I don't plan on using) and it's much slower to turn off everything, then return on the "right" ones, as opposed to just turning off two or three things in different rows.

It would also nice to be getting sort via a menu button, since it looks like the column headers don't really exist anymore. Sorry if these things are already on your list somewhere.

Would you be open to a setting that changes the buttons to work that way? I personally just find myself more often wanting to filter everything but a single color or card type, hence why I changed the behavior for the mobile game in the first place, but I would be totally on board with a setting to revert to the old behavior.

As for sort, that's something I need to add still. It just fell of my radar for awhile while working on other things.

Well, I guess the main problem is that the old behavior is:

left-click toggle on/off
right-click toggle same row off/on

Which could easily fit into press + long press terms. And a setting could certainly invert which one does which for different user preferences.

I might have to think on this more. Perhaps it's time to tweak the interface a bit so filters are easier to use and perhaps take up less space.
