puzzled about the relationship between versions #650

Closed simonwiles closed 5 years ago

What's the relationship between the mobile versions and the web version? I completed the web version (and loved it, thanks so much!), and decided to buy the Android version, more as a thank-you than anything else. Is there much more content in the Android version? I like the interface much less on the mobile version -- it's much less fun to play -- but will continue if there's more story-line to be had, different challenges etc. I'd much rather pay for expanded content on the browser-based version, though; is that ever likely to be an option?

Thanks!

Thanks for supporting! The mobile version of ADR has modified timings, some narrative additions, and a secret ending. I'd say it's less like additional story-line, and more like a reimagining. Sorry you don't like the mobile interface. Amir had a lot of challenges when adapting the original UI for touch (so much of ADR's information is contained in hover-states, which don't exist without a mouse), not to mention the drastically reduced screen-size.

As for expanded content on the web, you're unlikely to see the mobile content land there. I'm not really working on ADR any more, and so content is added as the community adds it (when I get off my lazy ass and merge). When there is new content, it's different from mobile.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't mean to be too harsh on the Android UI -- I appreciate it's tougher in many ways (although there is plenty of low-hanging fruit that could improve it considerably).

Thanks again for a really lovely game :)
