Why even bother making it compatible for different platforms when you don't even allow purchases to be restored across platforms. 😐
I can pay for the base game on each platform. I would love to, because I appreciate the devs. But making me pay for every tribe on every platform just shows greed or lack of efforts
We'd love to make a unified system, but man, that'd mean a full overhauling of pretty much everything.
Tomorrow Polytopia will be 7 years old. Cross platform compatibility should be feature by now. Don't want to sound like a mug but please consider this feature addition in near future. Would really make it more competitive and accessible.
I'm a software dev myself, so would like to understand what's stopping you guys from doing that. I get that Play Store/Apple store, etc. will have different payment pipelines but you can store user purchase details centrally and just charge them a new platform fee post which they can access their purchased tribes on the new device (like Supercell do it)
This will cut your revenue definitely but it's a sacrifice to make this game better on the long run
Synced user accounts? They're a lot harder than it might sound, especially with our setup. It'd mean a lot over backend overhauling and money, and we're not too sure if we can do that yet.
I completely understand why it’s such a pain and from a business perspective unviable.
But man did it suck going from android to apple and losing my purchase of every tribe, don’t think I’ve touched the game since sadly because of my unwillingness to pay for it all again.
I can help you out. Just send me a DM
