Forge Android App: 11-13-2016 Alpha 1.5.58.002

[Garryvalent]

I just released 1.5.21.011, which should fix all the reported issues of p/t overlays being incorrect and cards appearing in the wrong row. If you still encounter such an issue after updating, please let me know.

In addition to this fix, 1.5.21.011 also includes a couple enhancements. The prompt's right button will now have the caption "Undo" if your last action is undoable, such as tapping a land prior to casting a spell. This will replace the need for using the Undo item in the Game menu.

With that in mind, plus the other recent support for End Turn and Alpha Strike being available via the right prompt button at the appropriate times, I've removed those three items from the Game menu to consolidate it some. As you'll see below, I also enhanced menu items to display some additional right padding so they look better.

I've also added a warning message if you try to pass priority at such a time that you could lose floated mana in your pool.

Here's a couple screenshots showcasing the changes. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Forge forces portrait mode because that's the only way the game can be layed out right. Are you sure there's no way to make your phone use portrait mode? And does it look that way even when the keyboard isn't open?

Sorry for the late reply!
The screenshots were made with the keyboard closed, in portrait mode... I tried switching to landscape because I thought that could be the issue, but I guess the problem lies elsewhere :/

Odd. What is your screen resolution and physical size?

I just released 1.5.22.001 in-line with the release of Beta 1.5.21 for the desktop game. There's not much new to this release from 1.5.21.011, other than a fix so that the Filters button stays depressed while the menu is open and a fix so that drop down menus no longer support fractional shifting from panning.

The reason for the small amount of changes is that I have started working on implementing Quest Mode. So stay tuned for updates on that.

Thanks.

The Droid 4 has a 540 x 960 pixels 4" display

As I mentioned, I recently starting working towards adding quest mode support. I'm excited to be able to share the first screenshot for the new mode:

As you can see, I've split the load and new Quest sections into separate screens, and rearranged things slightly for this more vertical screen. As part of this, I eliminated the radio buttons for difficulty, instead favoring another combo box.

I also added an icon to the "Embark" button and made it bigger inline with the size of the Start button on other screens.

Let me know what you think of these changes.

Thanks.

Here's an idea of what the "Load Quest" screen will look like:

As you can see, each quest shows the name, mode, and W/L ratio the same as on the desktop game, with the addition of your current level/rank, card count, and credits.

I've also moved the "Rename" and "Delete" options to buttons at the bottom that work off the current selection, as well as including a "New" button that jumps to the screen shown above.

If when opening quest mode your current quest can't be loaded or you've never started one, you'll be taken to this screen by default.

Looking great! Something I meant to do before going on vacation was to add the quest's difficulty to the loading screen. I'll be putting that in on the desktop version late this week, but it'd also be nice to see that on the Android version.

Hey,

I recently installed this app and have been loving the ability to play mtg on the go but I just tried to add my Storm deck to get some practice in but the app doesn't seem to have the card 'Pyromancer Ascension'. Any ideas why this is?

[KrazyTheFox]

It has it on mine:

[treeko11]

Strange, it's there now. Thanks anyway

I'll see if I can find a place to display the difficulty. On the flip side, do you think you could add columns for level/rank, card count, and credits to the desktop game if it's not too much trouble? There's a lot of empty space in that table, so there should be room.

Thanks.

Absolutely.

If we could also see a version number somewhere on the android port, that would be awesome as well. Getting difficult to remember if I have the latest or not now with all these fast updates. Doesn't need to be fancy just something on the bottom of the loading splash or the like or for it to show properly in the device settings.

Good idea. I'll add it to the splash screen.

I'm also still planning to add an automatic check for available updates that will prompt you if you want to update to the latest version on startup. It will be optional of course.
