Hey everyone,
OgreWare has just been working too hard lately, so we actually have a Progress Report instead of a Troop Spotlight this Monday! Plus, it’s a US holiday on Thursday, so we’re planning to just give that day a miss. Hence the Monday Progress Report.
The big thing this week is notifications! Version .75 is out, and it brings with it notifications on your Android device for Calling All Heroes. They are designed to be as “non-annoying” as possible – they’re highly customizable, so you can set it up to only give you the notifications you want. This will ensure that you aren’t annoyed by unneeded notifications, but still get notified about important in-game events while you’re away.
For example, you can get reminders for individual buildings when they are complete, or just one mass reminder when they’re all done. Same goes for missions. And there is indeed a “Come back, we miss you!” reminder when you haven’t played for a while, but like the other notifications, it’s entirely optional.
Personally I’ve often been frustrated by games and apps that require me to either have notifications On or Off, and if they were on, they popped up CONSTANTLY, and if they were off, I wound up having to check on things myself. So as a player, I appreciate a game that lets you customize your notifications.
That’s about all for now. The blog posts will resume their usual pattern next week, so until then, I wish you a safe Thanksgiving if you celebrate it, and…well, if you don’t, I wish you many Black Friday deals. 🙂
