[APP] Pocket Legends (+WIP XDA Players list) 3D MMO Out now for Android! Updated!

I didn't create this app, nor do I take credit for having anything to do with it. Just spreading the word about something FREE (and cheap for the full game, for what it is) and IMO pretty bad ass too. I will be maintaining this thread as a player list parallel with the one in the Evo forums, to try to get all us XDA Folks together! So if your just looking for ppl to play with, scroll down about halfway. If you never heard of the game though, read on:
A new game has been released into our lovely market in an open beta stage called "Pocket Legends" (Feel free to search for it on the market itll come up as "Pocket legends beta client 3d mmo") It is a free, fully 3d, Diablo/WoW style MMO that you can play even on 3g! With people all over the world. Included people on their Iphailz. I created an account and logged in and have been pretty addicted to it ever since. Good quality for a phone game, and the fact that its actually real-time multiplayer makes it even more delightful. First game like this for Android I have seen yet, and I figure as many of you are likely nerdy like myself, you will love it.
Game Features:
- Consignment Shoppe
- Play over Edge, 3g, or Wifi
- Avatar Customizations
- Trial Accounts
- Leaderboards
- Quests
- Open World
- Secure Trade
- PvP (Deathmatch and CTF)

seems nice!
ive been playing this since i saw your post add me =d names acezfun
newby still but i love mmos!

Yeah, just an update, after browsing around some more and finding more about it, it seems the only reason that it's free is because the later levels require you pay for the stages. Either way, still an excellent game even if you don't pay it will offer hours of fun. Also there is an item mall for acquiring certain powerful items easily. Most things seem very cheap though (compared to PC game item malls), and either way I will probably throw a few bucks into it later. I don't mind supporting such a promising project.
Regardless, it's extremely bad ass concept, an excellent multiplayer experience, and something unlike anything we've seen on android to date. I can guarantee everyone that.
Edit: Don't worry about being anoob, nows a great time to start playing, almost everyone on android (besides who participated in the closed beta) is a noob! Got alot of iphoners at a decent level, though! Again, my name is XHydraulic let's get on and have an all-epic experience (lol)

xhyperion is my warrior. Add me. I'm probably gonna spend in thus game once I get to a certain level. That ctf and pvp stuff looks interesting.

i dont know about you guys but the "add name" doesnt seem to function yet i typed in your and XHyraulic's and hit enter and the name disappears but thats all that happens!! am i doin something wrong or is it just a bug to be fixed please cofirm guys

Man i gotta agree this game is awesomely fun, and a GREAT battery tester
everyone should sign up and play, if gives me the feel of a cartoony flash game, but a decent flash game. and all the mindless fun of a mmo. but WoW it's not.

Yeah, it seems to have a nice concept, enough depth to keep it fun through some high level grinding (once more people are around as well), enough item stats to make things interesting, the first ACTUAL realtime combat MMO out... etc. I'm lvl 7 and still not bored with it yet.
BTW, I dont think the add friend feature was added until recently, but the last 2-3 days there have been like 3 updates. So check your downloads in the market. Add friend wasnt implemented for a good while, but Im pretty sure it does work now. Tonight after the wife goes to bed (About 2-3 hours from the time of this posting) I will get on and attempt to add all of you.
I, too, will spend the in game money once I get to the free level cap. I don't mind, for a game that seems to be worth it. Like I said its not that much anyways, compared to the PC MMos item malls/premium stuffs.
Xhydraulic lvl 7 warrior feel free to add me if adding friends works if not lets keep this thread for when you can!
Edit: Will edit OP Post to include all users interested in adding each other on this game. So if you post your name somewhere in this thread itll be added to OP for users to see right away.

Teknosis is my lv 5 warrior name, Paiebak is my lv 2 enchantress.

Edit: double post.
I dont play that often for now but I can squeeze some time every now and then.

Im switching to my mage. Her name is Limits. I play mostly late night around midnight eastern time. add me if you are looking for someone to run instances.

does agility increase crits with magic based weapons?

I'm an Archer.... JirafaBo
I didn't know you could add people with out bumping into them in the game... But I'm not usually an MMO player. So far having fun with this one though.

d2>all they should make a way to play it on android devices, that would be sweeeet, this game is ok

[APP] Eurovision Song Contest

Hi everyone
After the semifinals yesterday I thought I'd download an app for keeping track on the artists in ESC. What do you know... Couldn't find one...
So I put a simple one together so I'd have one for the finals.
The newspapers always have a page where you can grade the contestants, but I thought it'd be nicer with an app for us techies.
The app shows the contestants in order and allows you to see the lyrics for the songs. It also allows you to rate the contestants with a 5-star system and write notes about them. On one page you can see them contestants listed in the order you voted.
Since this was made in the matter of hours I didn't really put the energy to support light theme... so if you want to use it during the finals, switch to dark theme.
This app won't go to the marketplace, but if there are any dev geeks here who'd like to install the XAP and run it, it is attached for your pleasure.
It might seem stuck at start but give at a few secs and it should run fine... Heeey what do you expect from a few hours work.
Anyway... if you like it... compensate me by sending a phone vote for the Finnish contestant. I'm not from Finland, but Paradise Oskar kicks butt.

Haha. I was considering building one for the finals, but I couldn't find an easy way to get all the data without hard coding it all in - seemed like more trouble than it was worth!

i tried the app. It's pretty cool, but too late released!

Heh... sorry about the late release date, but it was released on the same day it was built
In regards, to the lyrics I made a quick and ugly hack to get it in quickly.
I pasted the lyrics into a function in VS and made a regex-replace and surrounded each row by a stringbuilder appendline
Yep.. ugly... but faaast

Will it support 2012 Eurovision ?

Nice program. I very like this songs.

very cool app...
great

[GAME] Find The Lady Premium - NEW Game Release!

Hey guys, we're two university students and we just got our first game - Find The Lady Premium - published.
We would appreciate it if you could take a look and tell us what you think.
Any suggestions, thoughts or general feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Find The Lady Premium is a fresh new game that is certain to keep you entertained.

The money you win can be submitted in the Highscore menu, in which you'll be able to see where you stand in the Global ranking as a lady follower.
You can also practice the trade of the Hustler on your friends, in Be The Hustler mode, where you get to shuffle and rearrange the cards, challenging your friends into finding the right one!
Some Features include:
Global Highscore Rankings
Easy to use, intuition based controls and game mechanics.
Be The Hustler mode (more info in link below).
Play music from your own collection as background music.
Game progress is saved when navigating out.

[game] Armed! - Starcraft style

I do not know if this has been posted before, but Armed has been released about a week ago. I've been playing it like crazy ever since. Has multiplayer, turn based, etc. CPU AI is pretty hard too.

It still has a few bugs which may result in crashes every now and then. But it's very stable most of the time. At least for me. Its developers are working hard on some updates that address the bugs/crashes and add new features and maps. I for one don't regret spending 4 bucks for this - in my opinion - awesome game.

I haven't played/test it. I mostly just did some research of reviews. Seeing a good many people say it crashes during start up. They can't play the game. So, just a friendly advisory!

Try powering off your phone. It also has issues for region not being in English/US. So if that happens change your region I think. Otherwise, just wait for the fix.
I love the game, and $4 is nothing for this.

Hi guys.
I'm one of the developers of ARMED!
We're first time smartphone developers... we did a little Java phone development in like 2004, but most of our experience is in PC and console games. Try as we might we had some crash bugs... most of them related to non-US regions.
We spent alot of time before release testing the stability of gameplay... we ran thru hundreds of thousands of automated games driven by special stress test AI, but we made some rookie mistakes in other areas... like not testing the game in different locales.
It also doesn't help that it wasn't till yesterday that we got our first stack traces from Microsoft.... that was almost 2 weeks since our game was up on the marketplace. That's way too slow for the pace of moblie development IMO... we've learned our lesson there are have integrated Bugsense (google it... forum won't let me post links) for the next release.
Anyway the 1.1 release just appeared in the marketplace and it addresses all the bugs we knew of as of a week ago. I'm sure we'll find more, but at least the locale and a couple of dumb crash bugs were squashed and should make it playable for everyone.
Thanks for trying ARMED!

i like the graphics and control. Keep up the godo work.

Are the price depends on our country that we are residing or it's in standard USD.I mean for all the apps in the markrtplace.

Question to the developer:
I am an indie developer with Full-time job, and have my own game on Marketplace as well. How do you promote your game, and do you earn something for all hard work you put into the game ? As I see it right now, it would be really hard to make a living from it.
My game is free (with ads) and recently I added non-ads version of the game for people to donate something, or to disable ads.
What I found out is that from ads you earn ~0
Btw. As I said before your game is really an Eye candy

@Ttblondey
The developer has control over pricing in each region individually if they want to set them.
In our case we set the price for the US region and let it automatically set the equivalent price in all other regions.

I sort of agree... it depends on your app/game. Most of what i see on the marketplace are things one could build in a couple of hours or clones of other apps/games. It is hard to rally users behind you if you don't have a unique and high quality product.
At the current sales/ad rate we could not support our entire company (6 people) with ARMED! sales on WP7 alone. We could support one employee... but not 6.
To me this is a victory and shows the potential of WP7 in the future considering that its only 1%-2% of the smartphone market. With the push MS plans to make over the next few months i expect our revenue to at least double if we can keep the attention of the audience with updates and improvements.
That all said... we are looking at ports to other platforms to maximize revenue from the ARMED! brand and core tech. We're not ready to disclose what platforms those are yet... but it won't be Android.

We're struggling with our ads as well. It is all new territory for us, so i'm giving it some time before i pass judgement.
Our 1.0 release was missing ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT which seems caused the ad network to not show near as many ads as it could. Still even after fixing this in 1.1 on my personal phone i still don't see ads at times which is really confusing to me. Still i see ad revenue improving, but its barely enough to by coffee for the office.
There is money to be made with ads... people are doing it now. Also WP7 often has a higher revenue on the same amount of impressions... but you have to get impressions.
If your game/app is not attracting users then you won't make money with ads. You need to be seeing 50K to 100K impressions per-day to really support yourself with ads alone. Most developers do this by shipping several high quality apps... not just a single one.

Looks very nice!

better then most of the xbox live games. you, sir, are a hero!

Great game, amazing graphics
I already posted a short review of the game to support you guys:

We're trying hard here to build ARMED! into a fantastic game. It really does help our motivation when people praise and especially buy the game.

its nice and amazing

V1.1 work great , wish more and more item will join feture version.

I did the try on this I like this gamethat said I didn't have any issues with it at all. and when I do a try to use if I like it I'll buy it if not I remove it this game has been bought! I had a ball playing this. and didn't get bored at all with it. though It drove me nuts at times...you know when you don't play it well... over all the game is nice and nice work done on it by the Dev team....it's well worth the money....

Looks really sweet. You should consider porting it to tablet enabled Windows 8 computers seeing as the beta goes live in Feb. Then you would be the first indie to have head to head between phone and tablet
