Rotten tangerine (iOS & android)

I came across a really nice indie mobile game, it’s called Rotten tangerine, it’s available on android and iphone.

The goal is to prevent your tangerine to go bad, by tapping on the rotten one good tangerine will appear. However, sometime monsters appear and they will attack you tangerine to make them rot.

Worm is back

I usually don’t review pc game but I was surprise that they’re a new worm game coming, on pc & console. It’s call worm revolution, here the video footage :

It’s look good, they used a new graphic engine and added 3d. This one will definitely go on my wish list.

Epic sax game

I don’t know what to say about this game, it almost could go in a bad game review but it’s too original to do so. From indie game :

“In Epic Sax Game, players attempt to replicate Epic Sax Guy’s solo using six keyboard keys. After practicing, you can record a studio version and join a jam session before attempting the toughest challenge of all: a ten-hour YouTube video, performed live.”

Well I tried it and let say it music is not my strength but it’s definitely fun to try but I won’t take my chance on the 10 hours jam … 

You can play it here : http://www.pippinbarr.com/games/epicsaxgame/EpicSaxGame.html

I normally don’t advertise that kind of deal but Infinity blade for just 0,99$, I wanted to share it to the world.

Clash of kingdoms – new patch

huge-city-fight

A new patch was released and what caught my eye is the new school system. The school system allows player of 10000 or more dev point to join or create a school and learn skill from the member of the school. Basically you need to have 3 student per teacher, the student can asks for advice, review to gain some insight and contribution to the school, the teacher gain some has well but less. When a hero have 400 of insight you can make him learn a skill.

Click on the icon that look like the stroke of genius skill insight2

After you will be able to choose what skill you want to learn.

insight

There more to it but that really the basic to get a skill, if you want all the details go check the forum thread and if you want to optimize your school to get the best out of it check my following post.

They’re other thing in this update that interesting like the duel or new terrain effect, but the school is the big add-on to the game in this patch.

Castlot – Close beta and new server

battle vs dragon

The beta server as closed a few hours ago but if the beta server is closings that mean the first official server is coming.

Yoogame didn’t wasted much time and released there first server today at 7h00 (March 28, 2012 PDT)

I played a bit in the beta and I can say that it’s mix of MMORTS with heroes duels and mission. The tutorial and quest system really help to pick up the game. Give it a try.

 

Little treasures

I found two really nice games on the ipad that came out recently. The original Final fantasy tactic (you have to pay 17,99$ though) and Baldur’s gate Enhanced Edition.

fftipadicon

I actually love the final fantasy series but never got the chance to play the first Final fantasy tactic, I did play Final fantasy tactic 2 on DS though.

The game look really good, can wait to for my itune gift certificate to spend it on this game.

Check out the review from touch arcade.

Baldur’s gate Enhanced is not out yet but should be this summer, I really hope to see how this old game port perform. I did play neverwinter and icewindale but didn’t got the chance to play baldur’s gate, I hope it will be good as my friends told me.

You can look on the news and review here.

Note that is a post from our friend Astute from server L11.

This is a post more about how to maximize this feature for your school, if you want specific information about how school work try to look for it on the new patch page and on the forum :

Patch page : http://item.koramgame.com/ck/v1.50/article%203.html
Forum thread : http://forum.koramgame.com/thread-55904-1-1.html

After playing around with the school features, below are some info that should help everyone.

academy
1. Every player have a max number of seek advice (click advice button). This number start off with 3, I am not sure if it will increase later.
2. Every player with a hero of literary Talent of level 3 or more can Challenge another hero of level 3 or more
3. Student receives more insight and Contribution as compared to the teacher.
4. Each teacher can have a max of 3 students.
5. Student gets attached to a teacher by pressing the Pay respect button

6. A teacher need to have 3 students attached before the students can seek advice
school

In order for everybody in the school to gain the maximum insight and contribution, the objective is to help everybody use up ALL advice and ALL challenges.In the below instructions, I am assuming that the school has 10 players.
– There should always be 3 teachers in the school.To be fair and even out the points for everyone, the 3 players with the lowest contribution should assign 1 hero as teacher.
For the other 7 players,
– assign heroes that you want to improve and use up the 3 advices
– If you have a hero at Literary level 3, check for any teacher or students with lvl 3 and use challenges.
– After finishing with the advice and challenge, remove the hero from the teacher with 3 students- Assign the hero (preferably lvl 3 hero) to a teacher with 0 or 1 student.
For the 3 players with lowest contribution,
– remove the teacher hero
– Assign heroes that you want to improve to another teacher and use up the advice.
– If you have a hero at Literary level 3, check for any teacher or students with lvl 3 and use challenges.
– After finishing with the advice and challenge, remove the hero from the teacher with 3 students
– Assign a hero to become the teacher

After every week, the school can review again who have lowest contribution and reassign the 3 players with lowest contribution.

– A Teacher hero from the Headmaster can take more than 3 students

– Teacher from other players can take a max of 3 students

– The player with highest contribution becomes the headmaster

For the current event (see announcement)

– Every hero have 3 free reviews

– Every player have 3 free Private Tutor

Private tutor gives additional free advice to all students under that teacher.Since Headmaster can have more students, the way to maximize the Private tutoring is for all heroes to become students of headmaster. Headmaster use up 3 private tutor session Another player try and gain more contribution until he becomes headmaster, he assign a hero to be teacher. Everyone else assign student to the new headmaster, and repeat.

The following text wasn’t written by me but is a press release from Yoogames. Don’t worry guys, I’m coming with a bunch of article. 

As a world leading browser game publisher and operator, Yoogames recently announced the launch of the closed beta server of  Castlot, a middle-age background strategy game on PDT 5:00AM March 21, 2012. During the closed beta test, various events are going on and all players will get FREE ingame Diamonds on Yoogames Castlot Closed Beta Server!

The release of the new game is another constructive effort by Yoogames to carry on its mission of bringing best games and most fun to all players around the world.

Castlot is a revolutionary strategy game with originality added to all classic features: city buildings with more freedom of customization and decorations, resource collecting with goblins and cases to steal and protect, hero skills that can be activated with different combinations, etc.

Setting in middle age, Castlot will give players the experience of being a lord of a castle, starting their legend in the faction of Bright or Darkness. On their journey they will encounter ancient legendary heroes (“Epic Heroes”) to help them. Heroes have unique talents and war elements to, if wisely accompanied with players’s strategy, take advantages on the battlefield.

Different Heroes, Lords, Cities, Leagues and Factions are fighting, interacting, and cooperating to gain maximum interest for themselves in the world of Castlot. It’s a game to test your strategy. It’s a game about wisdom.

Note: After the short closed beta test on PDT 00:00 March 27 2012, the data of all accounts will be deleted, and players who have recharged during the test will be given their Diamonds on the latter open beta server with bonus.

Police responded to a 911 call about a possible burglary in progress in the city of Morgantown, Indiana USA at late night of March 12 2012. A kid, whose identity is kept confidential because of is age, was playing a browser game operated by YooGames.com.

The young kid told with is online buddy that at 11h40 pm someone was trying to break in is house. Some player immediately took action to keep the child calm, asking him what he liked and what he favorite animal. Meanwhile a former cyber crimes agents who happen to be a forum moderator asked the ip address of the child and with it was able to have the address of the child home. He contacted the police at 11h43 and with nearby surveillance cameras the police was able to record the intruders.

The police apprehended 1 of the 3 suspect with the information they were able to get.They are still looking for the 2 other suspects, but are confident that they will find them.

Yoogames is a popular browser game site famous for their quick-responding and thoughtful
customer service. Though in this case a Yoogames admin provided the IP address of the player
and probably saved his life, note that all user data are highly confidential and classified at Yoogames, and this was an exceptional case that they gave the address.

Clash Of kingdom L5, L7 and L10 Server merge poll

tavern

L5, L7 and L10 are almost done, while we don’t have a hard date, Koram is asking for suggestion on how to do the merge.
You can check the forum thread and give your opinion if your one of those server.
Here the forum thread : http://forum.koramgame.com/thread-53846-6-1.html
Here where you can vote on one of 4 option : http://forum.koramgame.com/thread-54250-1-1.html

coalittion

I think Merging all 3 servers into 1 its bad, having many characters in the same server is very annoying to do specially with the new koram start page. Some players are stuck with 3 and more different character they need to switch.
Instead of merging everybody in 1 server, create 3 new L servers with different maps (one with 6, one with 8 one with 3) and kingdoms for each account ID to pick. This will allows players to split up their IDs into different kingdoms and reduce the pain of account switching.
So from that perspective I think the best option is the last one (option 4) have 3 new server and legion can change server.
So go give your opinion you have until march 15th 11h59PM PST.
