Thank you so much everyone! #13 Graphic, Daniel was so happy and now is 100 times more motivated about making more levels and better graphic.<br\/>\nThe game at release had some problems, it was short, no end game, too easy, too\u00a0repetitive, some game breaking bugs, but yeah, we made #79 Overall and the next one will be a huge improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Feedbacks<\/h2>\n<p>We get a lot of feedback about treevolve, we have read every word you told us and I\u2019m developing hard for make it better and better. The big feedback was \u201cport it to smartphone!\u201d.<br\/>\nAs you know I developed the game in C++ with the help of Allegro for the rendering part and I have only an Android smartphone. Porting the game on android is a big work, I have to write everything again in Java, change the main, change the rendering functions, change how sounds is handled and a lot more but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>October Challenge 2012<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u2026 we will not give up, in the last4 days I have worked on making this port and the porting 1:1 from Windows to Android is working perfectly on every type of screen and resolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/10\/01\/october-challenge-we-are-in-with-treevolve\/2012-09-30\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-184466\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-184466\" height=\"412\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/2012-09-30-550x412.jpg\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a><br\/>\n<em>Test with a big screen (10\u201d), but it\u2019s working on very small screen too\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As you can see from the photo everything is working great, sound, GUI, touch and so on\u2026 but this is only a 1:1 port, we are working for give you a lot lot more fun!\u00a0Daniel\u00a0have designed from\u00a0scratch\u00a0the GUI from making a lot more confortable for touch screen and not in the center of the screen like it is now.<\/p>\n<h2>The big problem: Repetitive<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, this is a big problem, we have to find a solution for make the game fun during the time and not only the first 5\u00a0minutes.<br\/>\nWe have designed something new for give you more fun: (Some secret sketch\u2019s, but psss, don\u2019t tell it to Daniel I showed you)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/10\/01\/october-challenge-we-are-in-with-treevolve\/map-10\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-184470\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-184470\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/MAP-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/10\/01\/october-challenge-we-are-in-with-treevolve\/lvl02\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-184468\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-184468\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/lvl02-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/10\/01\/october-challenge-we-are-in-with-treevolve\/lvl03\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-184469\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-184469\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/lvl03-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(1) Map select.<br\/>\nYes!
