ACotGK: Baddo Camp

The Accursed Crown of the Giant King is an old school role-playing game, single player, party based. It will be released in 2020 for Windows, Mac, and iOS. ACotGK is by Merry Prankster Games, and you can get more information at https://prankster.com/acotgk.

I’ve switched to doing a video every other week. As I develop the game further, I should have something new to show from the game every couple of weeks. This week, I’ve completed the town of Baddo Camp, a temporary settlement of dwarves fleeing chaos in the Giant Kingdom. The party explores the town, talks to some folks, and peeks into a location.

More videos in the weeks to come.

The Problem With Apple

I got an email from them:

Your app, Temple of the Abyssal Winds, app Apple ID: 816495128, does not follow one or more of the App Store Review Guidelines.

Turns out there isn’t a problem with my app, it just hasn’t been compiled and submitted “recently”. So now I have to think about whether it is worth the trouble of digging out the old code , getting it to work with the new compiler (and dependencies), and go through submission again. It would probably take me a week to get through all that.

Is this really a problem? I guess not; it’s probably a good thing for users to ensure that apps are maintained and kept up to date.

ACotGK: New Party Member

The Accursed Crown of the Giant King is an old school role-playing game, single player, party based. It will be released in 2020 for Windows, Mac, and iOS. ACotGK is by Merry Prankster Games, and you can get more information at https://prankster.com/acotgk.

In this week’s video, the party completes a quest. The person who assigned the quest then offers to join the party, and is welcomed as the new spellcaster.

More videos in the weeks to come. I’m thinking about switching to a video every other week, though it is good to put one out every week because I stay in practice. TBD.

This week’s progress: Chapter 2 is now winnable! I still have a fair amount of work to do filling in the details of Chapter 2, but this is a good accomplishment.
