W00t! Awesome Please keep up the good work. Is there some other way I can donate, besides in-app? I can't buy Google Play gift cards where I live.

At the moment the only way is through the in-game donation, but I am also accepting compliments and thumbs up

I Think (I hope) that due to the hard work done on book 7 (both solving bugs from book 6 and preparing environment for books 8 - 12), at least the next 3 books could come at a little faster pace then before

Fingers crossed

Hi there,

Thanks for the hard work, your app rocks

I purchased the Sommerswerd for the Kai cycle, and am willing to buy The book of the Magnakai when the Magnakai cycle will be complete, then the Deathstaff when the Grand Kai Master cycle will be

BTW, I'm a PHP web developer, currently learning Android development (I'm looking for a job at the moment ). I'd like to give you some of my time, but I don't exactely know where to start.

Keep going

Hi lonepat,

thanks for your support

Lots of work going on guys!!

Book 8 seems to be proceeding slightly less slowly than the previous books, so I am taking the time to start modifiyng the code for all the books written so far, cleaning it, updating it to the last developments made available during book 7's production, and preparing for a couple of new exciting features I plan to release in the future versions

Stay tuned, I may be able to post screenshots anytime

Soooooo, no screenshots at the moment, and sadly no visible hints on the work done in these two weeks....
But, even if it took me longer than I was expecting, the entire presentation logic has been completely abstracted from the "main" game logic into a new underlying layer. This means that, starting from the next release, Lone Wolf Saga will feature 5 different Colour Schemes, 3 different Fonts Combinations and the Options to set Font Dimensions to anything you like
BTW, adding new font combinatios or Color Schemes is now a matter of minutes
I must say I am rather exausthed at the moment, but very happy about the results I can see, since the game is auto-playing and debugging on my development device while I am here updating you all on this exciting news

Kind regards to everybody

Thanks for the Jungle of Horrors

I found a tiny bug :
In section 112, you're supposed to answer the riddle, but I could'nt enter the correct answer anywhere, so I had to loose a special item (I restarted the book to reorder them, and lost one of my two Castle Death's Power Keys, so that's not a big issue for me actually).

EDIT 1:
Found a blocking an issue :
In section 78, when I click on the "EAT FOOD" button, the app crashes (android's standard "the application 'Lone Wolf Saga' stopped" message, with "report" and "OK" buttons, I sent a report) Done, thx

EDIT 2:
OK, finished the book using the North road. Do you want me to try the river with another profile?

Thanks lonepat,
the bugs have already been solved, and 1.05.1 has already been uploaded to Google Play and should be available for download (or will be shortly )

So, Lone Wolf Saga 1.05.0 (and 1.05.1) is finally available What's new?
- For a start, bookmark have finally been added to the game. However, since those are technically cheating, and since this development took some time off the main road of books development, I decided to make them available for a small fee; anyway, anyone who has already donated to the game will receive the first slot for free
- Another great improvement is in the UI: as I already said before, the entire "presentation logic" has been abstracted from the "Game Logic", so it is now extremely easy to modify the game look (as a matter of fact there are now 5 different Color combinations, 3 different fonts sets, and the possibility to modify font size at will): this will also make the app look better on tablet devices, that up to now were a little penalized in Lone Wolf Saga
- The third great improvement in the UI is the appearance of a completely customizable ActionBar, where all the Menu' Options have been moved, and symbolized with a custom icon; any player can customize these icons' ordering; furthermore, the Title of the ActionBar always shows the current playing book.
- Obviously, with such a great update, a new book had to be put into so The Jungle of Horrors, the 8th book of the full Series (the 3rd of the Magnakai Series) has been completed and included in the update! The Lorestone of Ohrido is waiting in the Swamps of the Danarg! The travel with Lord Paido to the Temple of Ohrido will be one of the most frightening you have ever started

Version 1.05.1, as the numbering code suggests, contains a lot of minor and major bugs that were reported in the first few hours after the app was put online

I am currently working on other minor bugs reports I have received, and having a look at which sections have to be customized in order to bring book 9, The Cauldron of fear, online as soon as possible

Stay tuned!!

Hello!

I'd like to report a strange bug: I played all books from 1 to 7 and just started 8, but I missed the "silver helm" in book 3, so I came back to 3 and completed again all books from 3 to 7. Now, at the beginning of book 8 I do have my shining silver helm and all other stuff but I realized that in some way I "missed" the dagger of vashna! that's strange since it's automatically taken as a special item when finishing book 4 and I'm sure I did not drop it by mistake...
Just to be sure I came back to 4 and completed again all books from 4 to 7: the dagger of vashna is not appearing in my special items anymore, no matter how many times I re-play the books
I also tried to update the database, still no luck. Maybe you have a clue.

BTW I love Lone Wolf Saga, you're doing a great work! I hope my post can help improving this application

Hello Benny, thanks for the heads up, I will give it a further look and check if something isn't working the way it should

Hi
Thank you for all your efforts in getting these books converted. Is there any eta on when the next books would be available please?
Thank you

[gdv82]

Hello jesse,
at the moment book 9 is quite developed, I am missing maps and paths through the maps, and stile some custom section that need a little more refinement before publishing....
I am however really stuck because of a lot of extra work to do at my job, so at the moment I really do not have a lot of spare time to dedicate....
I think that starting next week I will be able to dedicate some hours to keep up developping Book 9, but I do not have any viable eta on when it will be published.

Best regards,
GDV

Rooting for you, gdv
I guess you're a developper yourself, I just found a new job ans it's quite time consuming ^^"
