Apple approved our update for Modern Art: The Card Game in a
blisteringly fast 1 day, so I missed it last week. In any case, it's
out now and many of you probably already have it.
This was our ELO + GameCenter release, but as with other recent
updates I added a few frequent requests. Here that meant adding a
pop-up and bell to help make sure you know when you're in
Simultaneous Play mode and a couple of different features to make it
easier to select artists in Award Artist mode.
Here's the complete list:
✓ New elo system lets you compare ranking with opponents.
✓ Game Center support for leaderboards now lets you compare your
maximum elo ranking and your top scores with players across the
world.
✓ Game Center support for achievements notes standard
accomplishments.
✓ New warnings remind you when you're entering a Simultaneous Play
turn.
✓ Pop-ups help you select artists in Award Artist mode.
✓ Set the "Verify Award" option to be sure you always choose the
right artist in Award Artist mode.
✓ Polished look of artist pop-ups.
✓ iPad only: Updated rules are easier to read and include examples.
✓ iPad only: Polished look of frame buttons.
✓ iPhone only: New games menu (marked with a "+") makes it easy to
navigate among RPGnet games.
At this point, High Society, Gold!, and Web of Power Card Game: The
Duel are still awaiting upgrades, but for the moment my time is
going to the (long-delayed) Masters Gallery variant game (of Modern
Art: The Card Game). I hope to have that submitted to Apple this
month, then to get back to some of those other updates in August.
