Now that we’ve patched some of the more critical problems with Outwitters 1.0, Alex is starting to funnel in some new stuff for the 1.2 beta. He needs artwork again! I am remembering what it feels like to be useful.
If you’re still running into the bugs we tried to fix in 1.1, don’t hesitate to submit a bug report. Alex answers as many of these as he can, but we can promise yours will at least be read.
So what kind of stuff are we thinking about adding for our next update? A new team pack with new maps, definitely. And this pack will be unlocked for anyone that already purchased the Über Pack (the game limit upgrade we added in 1.1 wasn’t included because it wasn’t a team pack). iPhone 5 support? Possibly, if we don’t hit any major snags. I’ve also been toying with a few alternate base designs for each race. Here’s one for the Adorables that I call Castle Cutenstein:

i like the idea of multiple bases to chose from.
maybe bring back the scallywag base from beta(the head shaped one)
keep up the good work
Would it be difficult to add an option to select a random team? Sometimes I don’t feel like choosing and I end up selecting the same team over and over just by default.
Good idea, and this is how it should work: after you complete a full round of the team you can choose, you don’t come back to the scallywigs because befor tham there is an icon of random team (wiche can be the character on the icon but instead of Being yellow it is black with wite question mark on it)
I think you should add a draw button … For games going too long or maybe even fix the max number of turns after which game will be considered draw
Maybe improving what you have is more important than adding teams? Replay with fog of war overlays, non obtrusive ‘pause’ indicator for studying, skill matched friendly games for practice, don’t make me wait in replay mode when no information is being added.
Thanks!
Lovin’ the game, but I don’t like the additional teams. I’ll be purchasing the next team you guys release, tho!
Hard to understand the scoring … I am in gifted league and i won from rank1 master league player and what i get is 19 points … Then i lose from gifted league rank 1 player and i lose 20 points … Whats more surprising he gets 31 points. STRANGE?
David, do you mean you don’t like waiting when the “sneaking around icon” is showing but nothing you can see is changing? Because that is important info being added. You know the opponent moved something, even if you don’t know what, you can very often guess. If there is no icon I can guess he either ran out of wits or saved wits for next turn. Either way, it’s important and it really doesn’t add too much time.
I do agree with all of your other requests, especially the pause button during the replay.
This game is awesome, and the idea for alternate bases is cool, and to go along with that you should add alternate skins to characters
One feature I would really like added is the option to choose which team color you will be playing. 2v2 features some rocking colors for Adorables, would love to play as Orange (Yellow).
Can we pick which map we want to play
Features I would like to see in the next update:
1. Please add confirmation for the Bombshell’s shell and unshell abilities. I consider it a move and if I accidentally unshell, I have to shell again wasting 2 wits.
2. Remove the Bombshell’s ability to see hits in the fog of war. Bombshells surrounded by soldiers make the most annoying defense and at 4 hit-points they are incredibly hard to take out. Not being able to sneak up on one with a sniper makes it that much harder.
3. A rematch button for friendly games. Sometimes I would like to rematch without having to add the other player to my Gamecenter friends list.
4. Random team and map buttons. Like someone said before, it’s a nice option for when I don’t feel like picking a team or map.
Fix the mobi! I have played hundreds of games and never have I seen one used. The brains and shell turrets are total game changers and the mobi is just cute.
Totally agree with Todubot’s suggestions for bombshell.
Still tryibg to understand scoring …
Sakiehl, could a simpler ‘x unseen moves were made’ work? Generally, waiting to see the other player’s moves always feels like a chore to me. I just want condensed information.
Great idea for the adorables should be used for the new base for sure 🙂 great work guys!
