[Android] Lone Wolf Saga

[gdv82]

Hello fellow aonians
I am very happy to announce the release of Lone Wolf Saga 1.11, finally featuring "The Masters of Darkness"!!!!

Upon your triumphant return from the twilight world of the Daziarn, you discover your mortal enemies - the Darklords of Helgedad - are poised to conquer all of Magnamund.
In The Masters of Darkness, your mission is to journey to the infernal city of Helgedad, to the very heart of the Darklords’ evil empire. There you must confront Darklord Gnaag, Archlord of the Black City, in a battle that will determine the future of your entire world.

Took me quite more time than expected, due also to real life kicking in too much often, but the last book of the Magnakai Series is finally playable!
Lots of bugs and imperfections in the previous book have also been corrected.

Now please expect the waiting for the first book of the GrandMaster Series to also be quite long.... An improvement of my real life's job, together with a lot new feature to be coded to respect the new rules, will surely delay the next book a lot.... But Lone Wolf Saga is still alive!!

For Sommerlund!

Hi ! Thanks a lot for all you have done gdv82. A really good job and so much fun of my younger days revived...

For Masters of darkness, i have spotted what might be a little bug. Section 86 (not sure of number, i'll check back) it's when you have to climb the wall. It says that you can have a +3 to your roll, but each time i try, it's -3 that is applied. I have the requirements for the bonus... Not that it's very important (i have fulfilled the adventure already ) but just for information.

For Sommerlund !

gelfer, please let me know if you got this error in the Kai, Magnakai, or both the Series.... The switch to Google In App Billing V 3 has not gone so smoothly as I had hoped and I already have a couple of this problem by e-mail too...

arthaxerxes thanks for your report, it's one of the most reported bugs, I am having a look at it right now

Little update:
Version 1.11.1 has just been released, fixing a lot if minor bugs along all the books (Section 86 of Book 12 as well), and also fixing the problem with bookmarks!!

The work on books 13-20 is about to get started

Best regards everyone,
GDV

Hello, i recently change my tablet, i had an Asus TF700T with Android 4.4 (Cyanogen Mod) and Lonewolf Saga work perfectly. Now, I have a Samsung 10.5 with Android 5.0.3 and the tablet crash randomly and reboot when i use the app, i do not have this problem with others apps. I try to unload/reload the app, clear the cache, clear the data, no not download the image database etc... Nothing change.

Is there a problem between the app and Lollipop ? Between the app and Samsung 10.5 ?

Otherwise, thank you for all the work on the app.

Best Regards.

Hi everyone,

I reviewed the list of errors and couldn't find that one so here it is (it's not really an error, but rather a glitch).

/spoil

In "The Cauldron of Fear", Magnakai quest, you have to beat a darklord at the end of the book. He is actually pretty tough and he did kick my *** . I obviously  rage-quitted the game when the "you died in mission" window was on, came back later (re-opening the app, important part [if you resume the app without closing it, it doesn't work]) to see that the story resumed just before the boss (so I didn't have to restart the whole book, and I was able to fight the boss over and over until I got lucky dice). That glitch works for every boss (and maybe for every fight, but i guess it was not useful). I gotta admit it helped me a lot, but I have the feeling this is not the spirit of the game to  let you refight a boss without restarting the book, trying to get better equipment, make other decisions in the quest etc...

If this is the wrong thread or if it has been alreaddy spotted, forgive me as I am brand new in this forum.

PS: I have the Android app.

Hi gdv any news?

[gdv82]

Just a quick update on the status of the Grand Master Series:
- the "Normal" sections of the database have all been parsed (for books 13 - 20);
- I am currently parsing and analyzing the "custom" section for book 13, and I am halfway through this book;
- In the meantime, the images for books 13 and 14 have already been "adapted" to the app's layout, I will have to complete all the images for books 13-20 before releasing the application (so the images DB will just need to be downloaded once)
- the base coding for the Grand Master series is ready (all the custom, fighting and Random Number Table Sections are handled): still missing are the introductory pages (Monastery safekeeping, equipment, Disciplines), the fighting window (where the real fights happen), the looting window (where equipment and loots are taken up), plus all the code to handle the switch from "Magnakai Lone Wolf" to "Grand Master Lone Wolf" (so Endurance and Combat Skill calculations, Inventory management with the Backpack increasing in size, ...)
- If possible, I would like to include two "most requested" features in the next release: Zoomable maps and Exportable/Importable profiles; This will also require some time, but will surely satisfy a big portion of current (and future) users

All in all, I would say that there is still a long time to go (I have to prepare the Database and codebase with the entire Series already parsed so I am well aware of all the possible situations Lone Wolf may encounter, then I will need the codebase to adapt to the Database and to correctly handle all those situations), but the main "skeleton" for the Grad master series is already there.

Don't lose faith

Great gdv!!! U are The best. We are waiting you...

[mathieuc]

Thanks a lot for all your work, it's very impressive.

[gdv82]

Small but steady advancements:
5 books for the Grand Master series have been parsed, 3 more to go

In the mean time, I have uploaded a small landing page on my user profile where the advancement progress for the development can be seen (from outside the official app): projectaon.org/staff/guido/#

Enjoy

wow! great job!

[lordofszalls]

Awesome work on setting this up. Can't wait for Grandmaster books.

Any plan for poor old Grey Star?

[gdv82]

Hello guys
GrandMaster is slowly proceeding: All the books and all the custom sections have been inspected, I am currently re-structuring the GM DB, and I am almost ready to start coding the necessary steps to load data from this new DB...

A long way to go, but the finish line is getting a little closer

Have a great weekend everyone!!

GDV

P.S.: After Lone Wolf Saga I will very probably jump to Grey Star, and then I plan to come back to Lone Wolf with the New Order series, after Grey Star.... Obviously no timing available
