@ firemaplegames
Great Game I already passed it I think it took me around 2hours Very Entertaining and A Lot harder then Grisly Manor also much longer.Bottom Line I think the game is great and Ill give it 5 Stars The ONLY thing I dont like about both games (Grisly Manor and The Lost City) are the Endings. It feels as if you go through the whole game and you are into the game and once you get to the end its so short and poor ;( Either Way im a fan of your games and Ill give it 5 Stars!
Best of Luck on the success it deserves. [import]uid: 30314 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 83733[/import]

Cheers!!!

Hi! When is this available on iPad? I cannot see it on my Australian App Store for iPad. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 83944[/import]
@WauloK: The Lost City is an iPhone/iPod Touch game. It should appear on your iPad, but just make sure you are looking through the iPhone section.
I know that it wasn’t coming up for me yesterday on the iPad, but my friend from the UK said that he was able to find it today.
If it still isn’t showing up, you might need to get it through iTunes and sync it. [import]uid: 8444 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 83946[/import]
Not on iTunes AT ALL for me on iPhone or iPad but it’s available on iPhone from iTunes app on iPad.
Might have to wait for it to appear. D’oh! I really want to play the game 
[import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 83952[/import]
Oh! You mean there’s no iPad-specific version and I should download the iPhone one on my iPad? Okay. Can do! [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 83953[/import]
@Joe: thanks for the free copy of The Secret of Grisly Manor.
i really enjoyed it! and i’ll buy the lost city of course [import]uid: 90610 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84202[/import]
Joe, I just want to congratulate you on the amazing work you have done on The Lost City - it is really a work made with love, and it shows at any moment during the game, from the menu screen to the object icons. Stunning. Also the season idea is crazy - as it obviously required a lot of work to edit the scenes for the season change - and so well executed. I see the game is already doing great, but I am sure this will be another great success also on the long term, because it has more value than 90% of the stuff in the App Store, and people recognize it.
A note for Joe and those not finding the game - in some countries, the name of the game has been localized. So we have an Italian iTunes account and the game appeared there as “La Citta’ Perduta”. I am not sure if this is a good idea (to localize the title), as it makes marketing so much more difficult and users are nowadays used to access a game by its English title. To find the game, I looked for Grisly Manor, then looked at all the apps made by Fire Maple Games, and then I discovered why I was not finding it.
On the other hand, I understand that in those countries where English is not spoken or read well (including Italy), people that do find the game might be more attracted if the title is in Italian. So I understand it is a tough choice.
By the way, I have been playing the game on my iPad 1, and looks and runs beautifully. $1.99 or even the weekend sale of $0.99 are really incredibly low prices for a game like this.
Well, I added a 5 star rating in the Italian App Store and I will soon do the same in the small Icelandic store [import]uid: 13836 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84660[/import]
Thanks Magneticat!
Yes, this is the first time I have ever localized anything. Still learning tons!
I can say that the localizations are helping so much! The Lost City has shattered all of Grisly Manor’s records in every non-English speaking country.
Good point about the title. I will think about it! [import]uid: 8444 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84661[/import]
Woah, stunning and hurray then!
Yes, I did not mean it to be a criticism, just something I experienced with the title. Maybe adding “the lost city” in the keywords of the app also in non-English country could help? But you know this kind of stuff better than I do.
I think also the idea of promoting the game with Grisly Manor was great. Once you reach the top of the App Store in enormous markets like Italy and UK, it means you are doing everything right. [import]uid: 13836 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84667[/import]
Just finished playing the Android version. Well worth the wait. Just an awesome job Joe. [import]uid: 64596 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84670[/import]
Congratulations Joe! You rule the world! Now I want to see just bought new Ferrari! [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84832[/import]
Haha. I was just excited to buy a new pair of jeans and some new t-shirts! [import]uid: 8444 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84834[/import]
Congratulations Joe. I just bought it, but have only previewed it so far. It is beautiful looking.
I am curious about your design approach. I see that your first one and Lost City are both for the iPhone, and you just let people scale up for the iPad. I see a little pixelation, but it’s not bad.
Are you making one set of assets?
What resolution/model are you targetting? For retina, and then scaling down if necessary? [import]uid: 47723 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84835[/import]

Congrats once again im glad your game is getting the success it deserves as I said in previous post I played both grisly and lost city and both are awesome. Im glad lost city is much longer then grisly It took me around 2hours to complete. Really looking forward to future games from you and Grisly part 2.
PS: Out of Curiosity about how many downloads a day do apps get once you are in Top 100 / Top 50 ect anyone know? [import]uid: 30314 topic_id: 5036 reply_id: 84857[/import]
