Welcome to the Sentinel 4: Dark Star forum!

Do you have plans to release 1 and 2 as iPad apps? I want to play them but I want to play them on my iPad.

We don’t have any plans for dedicated iPad versions of Sentinel 1 and 2, or to make the existing apps Universal. They’re playable at the X2 setting, but obviously won’t look as good as an iPad native game.

More Dev Diaries pleeeeease!

Keep the momentum going 😉

Add some surprises like Kingdom Rush style: environment stuff/bosses/helper units.  I like specializing my upgrades too.

Some sort of social element like vs. mode would be sweet.

Can’t wait for it!!!!!!!!

New development blog is here! https://www.origin8.com/blog/dev/sentinel-4-dev-blog-pt2/

 

This time I talk about a new facet of the gameplay. In S4, all turrets can be damaged, broken, repaired, and will even level up over time if kept alive!

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the features that are being packed into S4!

Hello Sentinel fans!

With the release of Sentinel 3, tower defense style games became my new favorite genre for iOS gaming.  It goes without saying, Sentinel 3 is a fantastic game!   Too be honest, I’ve been  checking the App store everyday, faithfully, hoping to see Sentinel 4: Dark Star.  Other than 2013, is there a release date?

I have a quality of life suggestion.   I often pause my game when adding new towers or reviewing strategy.  I sometimes misplace a tower, but the sell price will already have a penalty.

Another popular Defense game is Fieldrunners 2, and that game has a variation of this feature, which I LOVE.  They have it implemented that you can buy back for full price before the game has started.  (There are about 5 seconds before mobs roll in which gives plenty of time to pause to strategize.)

Allowing the player to sell a tower at full buy price as long as the tower has not landed on the field would be HUGE, imo.

@ rob909e, I am also checking the apps store daily for new updates.

@Paul or Repair Drone, *cough*Need Beta Testing?*cough*   I must be coming down with something because I have a fever…and the only prescription, is more Sentinel.  🙂

Quarters come in 4s. The first one has passed.

Yes, I mentioned it’d slipped a while back in the “Release Date” thread. I’ll set up a clearer announcement to make it more obvious.

Hi all, just a quick update on development. My next blog post about another new awesome feature of Sentinel 4, The Stronghold, is here: https://www.origin8.com/blog/news/sentinel-4-dev-blog-stronghold/

 

Dev is coming along nicely now after some unforeseen delays and my time being required on other projects. I know you all want the game out, but we’re going to make sure it’s up to scratch before it’s released.

 

I’d love to hear any more feedback, suggestions or comments!

[radnads]

It’s now May.

@ Radnads, give the Dev team a break.  Paul just posted on the S4 dev blog.

As far as I’m concerned, they should take as much time as they need.  I’d rather play a kick ass build of S4 when it’s ready vs playing a glitchy underwhelming build today.

If Sentinel play style remains similar to 1, 2 and 3, I also would request a much faster speedup setting (4x minimum, 8x-10x ideal).  Several single rounds in each game can take me 20-30 minutes to complete just because I’m waiting for my strategy to play out.

[Paul]

iPhoneUser, this is a much requested feature, and it’s already in Sentinel4: Dark Star 🙂

[iPhoneUser]

Yay!  What’s the maximum speedup setting for Dark Star?
