Hey folks, just wanted to assure you that Gems of War is still our #1 priority here at Infinity Plus Two!
My role on Magic the Gathering: Puzzle Quest is purely a consultative one (as the owner of the Puzzle Quest franchise), which means a few hours a week consulting on design matters & helping out our friends at Oktagon Studios in Brazil (who, by the way, are responsible for some of the fine artwork you’ll see releasing in Merlantis later today!)
Obviously we’d never sabotage our own game… that would be quite irresponsible to both our team AND our publishing partner at 505 Games.
I’m sad to hear that the new UI is not to everyone’s taste… however we DO believe strongly that modernizing the look of the game is the way forward. So far, feedback from Micrsosoft, Apple, Google, and Sony has been very positive about the direction, and the great news is that the game’s daily active userbase has grown 3% in the days since we released the 3.2 update.
We ARE aware of some readability issues, which we’ll be addressing in update that we’ll have to you all asap though. Hang tight for that - we’re trying to pass it through certification as quickly as possible!
