It depends. If it's something that requires just a reinstallation or changing a part of an equipment then we can try to fix it ourselves. But if it gets too complex then we take it to a company that fixes computers.

Agostina and Mariana are super talented artists working on KR4.

(Ana cleans the office, and then we have Luciana that manages our office).

FeedDaKingdom wrote:What are the fonts used in Kingdom Rush?
the 'Rush' part of the title, fonts used on most descriptions, also the font of the level briefings on steam


We mostly use "Toonish". (http://dafont.me/fonts/12082/toonish.html)
The "Rush" word was designed in Photoshop.

The descriptions and level briefing is made with"Comic Book".
We sometimes also use "Badaboom" and "Komika Axis"

Big Bad Bug wrote:You mentioned things being hectic in the studio earlier. What's been going on recently? Do you guys feel pressured to complete the game sooner?


We reached the middle of the year and we only have 6 more months to get things done before the year ends. Each fiscal year brings its own costs, so it's important for us to get things done before we have to pay certain taxes, licences, and other unavoidable costs. Running a business is hard.

Mushmellow wrote:Why is the game called "Kingdom Rush"? How did you come up with that name for the game?


We needed a name that was simple and easy to remember, but it was also important for it to have a link with the game itself.
Since the game is about a Kingdom under attack by forces that keep advancing, the name came almost on its own.

Have you ever considered implementing concept art into games somehow, like in an attract mode style slideshow at the beginning of a game before pushing start?

OFC she is. If ana was the only female on the team then maybe I would have to think twice before trying to speak on JBs behalf but since there are others who do things that aren't cleaning I'm sure she is fine with it.

Did any of you guys go to any of the Olympics in the past to watch the participants? Are you guys going to watch the Rio 2016 Olympics?

Do you think that Iron Marines and KR4 will still be available for the Ipad 1, or will it only be compatible for Ipad 2+

Tons.
ObjectiveC, Swift (are Apple's native code), C or C++ (it's a classic), C# or Java (are not so commonly used). There are more.

Are you planning to make games in iOS?

The name was picked by the 3 co-founders of the studio... it was the only name they all agreed upon. They added the "Game Studio"

I don't think anyone here has ever been at an Olympic game. No one is going to Rio this year. To much to do here.


FastAndBlast wrote:Did you guys ever consider making a studio in Australia? :)


Australia is awesome. One of the studio Co-Founders has a brother living in New Zealand.
But making a studio in that part of the world is currently not being considered.


Lord of all evil wrote:Do you think that Iron Marines and KR4 will still be available for the Ipad 1, or will it only be compatible for Ipad 2+


Sorry, but probably not.
Our games can only run on devices that are still being supported at the time of launch. Which is not the case for iPad1. :(

I'll let him answer that. But hopefully he will. :P

FeedDaKingdom wrote:do all of your games from iron marines onward will be on unity?


Hard to predict. We will use whatever tool helps us the most. For now, Unity is great and we are happy with it. But maybe next year something better might appear. Such is life with anything related to IT.

Juice Box wrote:So Tats, Autobots or Decepticons?


Autobots 4 life. You have to remember, I'm old.
I actually grew up in the 80's watching the original series when "Saturday morning cartoons" were actually a thing. The original cartoon Deceptions were impossibly stupid.

I don't know if this question has already been addressed, but will the story of KR4 take place right after Frontiers, with whatever Futurama alien that took the Tear of Elynie (depending on whether you guys already have the entire storyline set up)?

Oh! Poop!

I'm sorry for missing this one BBB! My bad.

This is being seriously considered for KR4 and Mystery Project X.
We want to make sure that this doesn't affect the mobile version of the games, since memory space is a major issue in this platform.

The question has been answered before with a non-answer.
I don't want to spoil anything about KR4 before the time is right. :twisted:

No biggie, Tats. :) Oh, so it's not a consideration for Iron Marines, then?

Memory space intrigues me. What issues have the team run into with it in past games? How were the problems solved?
