At this point only only option seems to be to remove Game Circle (it is the amazon equivalent to apples Game Center or Google Play Games “Services”).
When we do that we face another issue and that is Amazon may flat out reject the update because it does not contain Game Circle.
At this point our plan is to resubmit the amazon version of Dungeon Quest without Game Circle support when we submit next weeks patch (which will address a few issues from our last content update).
Very sorry for the lack of visibility on this issue and in general. We have been pulled in several directions over the past two months and it has been tough for both Steiger and myself to stay on top of all of our DQ responsibilities while getting “things” ready for GDC and beyond. We should be much more visible now that things are calming down to the usual frantic pace instead of Super Hyper Turbo frantic pace
Thank you for the update. Will you let us know if/when Amazon does not accept the update? I will need to figure out a workaround if Amazon says no. You and Steiger have done a fantastic job developing this game and making it so fun to play.
Are you sure that you don’t have 2.1? Check the shop - are potions available? If there are no potions, then you do have 2.1. There is a display bug in-game where it says 2.0 even though it is 2.1.
Amazon cannot resolve the issue. So we are releasing a version of DQ on amazon that removes all of the Game Circle support. This will go live the same time our current patch does. We are testing the current patch now with our testers.
When playing the game on the amazon platform, will there be a noticeable effect of lack of Game Circle support, such as will it prevent players from making in game purchases like boosts? Will I still be able to use Amazon Coins?
Yes you will still be able to use amazon coins. Also, we got this issue fixed and the next amazon build will release at the same time as android and ios (hopefully submitting this week after the patch finishes its testing runs)
What was the issue/resolution? You mentioned hopefully fixing the issue in “next weeks patch” 28 days ago so I’m really crossing my fingers that this week ends up being this week haha
Amazon was able to help us get this working with our software and their latest Amazon SDK.
I could release an update for the Amazon devices now, but since we are so close to getting the latest patch done for all three platforms I wanted to submit them all at once.
well the main reason I did NOT submit the patch to amazon last Thursday was because of how close we are with the next update patch.
I didn’t want to update the amazon version and run the risk that when I submit this weeks patch it doesn’t get approved quickly and the amazon players are left out in the cold again when we update for season 2 and the DQ account system doesn’t work for them.
