The story and release of Knight Commander.

By John from Woodside Apps, 9 August, 2018

Forum
iOS and iPadOS Gaming

Hello Apple Vis forum
Knight Commander has just been approved for the App Store.
It has been a real struggle to get it their as I seem to have broken almost
all of the guidelines that are set out for developers to follow.

The game is not as far forward as i would like as i have
been busy for the last 2 weeks to get it approved.

As with most of my apps and games they get a whole lot better
when released and people support them.

Thank you to all the people who joined in on the beta testing and gave
good feedback.
Hopefully i now have a core of people who will test future apps.

As for promo codes I have decided who will get one so please do not ask.

As ever all feedback is very welcome.

Looking For Planks

By Roxann Pollard

5 years 1 month ago

I have purchased the sawmill. I'm trying to build a shed but cannot see how to make planks. Any suggestions?

I can confirm post 100.

By kool_turk

I can confirm post 100.

Trying to expand your warehouse is the same

Hopefully this'll be fixed in the next update.

The developer is pretty good at responding to this thread.

To build planks, there is a task in the people screen called make planks in sawmill.

user guide

Hello. I wanted to know if there is any user guide besides the help screen available. Thanks.

RE: I can confirm post 100

By Roxann Pollard

Silly me. It never occurred to me to look beyond Go Hunting, the last item I was able to do. I forgot that the sawmill was further down the list so why wouldn't the associated task be the same. Thanks for the info. Lesson learned.

RE: user guide

By Roxann Pollard

Hello Maxi. To my knowledge there isn't a user guide available. I have looked online for one and was not successful. However, I will remind you that, besides this forum, you can always do a long press on an item such as the water well to find out what it needs. If you don't find the info you are looking for, such as how to make planks, after you have built a sawmill like I did, then this forum is very helpful in figuring it out. In my case, I just didn't look far enough down the sources items or I would have seen planks as an available option to give my people so that they could start making the planks.

By kool_turk

This game is simple enough, for the most part, that you don't really need a userguide to play.

I wasn't sure how to make rubber, but I'm sure I would have figured it out eventually.

Bugs

By Jessica Brown

First of all I just want to say I love this game. I can confirm the bug with not being able to buy energy as well as the speed boost from shoes not working with the latest version of the game on an iPhone 6s iOS 11 thank you.

Rubber tree

I can normally find out how to make stuff just by looking around but I can’t find a rubber tree. Thanks in advance for any help.

Meat

By Hubert

Hi, does anyone know where I can find meat, as in what section or tab it's in because I'd like to make meat but I have no clue how to.

Hunting

Make a spear and go hunting

To get the rubber tree you

By kool_turk

5 years 1 month ago

To get the rubber tree you need to keep working in the crop farm until you get the rubber tree.

Keep working the farm to get a random crop.

It's the same for the animal farm.

Anything you don't need, sell.

energy upgrade

By maxi

5 years 1 month ago

Hello. Cannot upgrade energy, although i have enough gold. Can this be a bug? How can i contact the developer of this game?

This week

By John from Woodside Apps

5 years 1 month ago

Thank you all for the feedback and the fact that some of you are helping each other is very
gratifying.

I am looking into
the energy / warehouse upgrade buttons bug.
In fact a total rewrite of the shop code.

A user guide is being worked on.

The war / battle is finally going to be looked at.

As well as a host of other bugs / improvements.

I'm a little confused with

By kool_turk

5 years 1 month ago

I'm a little confused with the whole slot 0 thing.

You have slots one through to 4 for weapon slots, but there's also a slot 0.

Is that like a spare or something?

So I guess technically there is 5 slots.

It just seems weird.

app update

Lol, I'm at the same time, looking forward to update yet dreading it. It'll be traumatizing if we got to start all over again!!! I now have almost 500,000 gold!

A few questions

By Sabrina

5 years 1 month ago

How do I get things like chicken and other things? Probably a stupid question. lol.

Not sure what "other things"

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

Not sure what "other things" mean, but chicken you get from animal farms.

Thanks.

By Sabrina

Thank you. Now I get the hang of things. I am doing pretty well.

New update

By Jessica Brown

5 years 1 month ago

After today’s new update I deleted and reinstalled the app and I still cannot increase energy even though I have enough money as well the speed boost from making shoes is also still not working.

nice

By Sabrina

5 years 1 month ago

I really like the fact that I can give all my people tasks.
However, I have found the same issue that the other one said. I can extend my warehouse, not sure about the lullaby or feeding but I know I cannot recruit people or buy ebnergy.
This is vital for me because I don't have enough energy for being able to do the stone cutting I need to be able to make blocks.
I really enjoy this game. I cannot sleep tonight so am working on it. I often do quests but 25 percents of the tinmes I fail. lol. What is counted as one move?

Bug Starting The Game

By Tiffany J. Kim

5 years 1 month ago

Hello John,

Aside from the inability to buy extra energy and recruit additional people in the shop, now the button to start the game cannot be activated with VoiceOver on. I was able to find it but it would not activate. I was able to remember where it was and get it started with VO turned off. I wonder if the same could be done within the shop? However, although the button to recruit people is detectable, the one for energy cannot be located with VO on by touching around on the screen. It is only detected by swiping but cannot be activated at all and as I have no idea where precisely it is located, I can't just quickly disable VO and touch the proper place on the screen. I hope these things (particularly within the shop) can be sorted out since it is very slow-going and prohibitive without sufficient energy to perform various tasks. Overall, it is a fun game and I appreciate that you have been working to implement accessibility.

Version 1.0.27 and the buttons issue

By John from Woodside Apps

5 years 1 month ago

Hello
I am at a loss as to what is wrong with the buttons in the new version.
I have just downloaded the version from the app store and it works fine.

Does anyone have the new version and does it work?

For those who are having trouble
please try.
open the app switcher
quit the game from there.
then run the game.

I am running out of ideas on how to re-code buttons.

If you have trouble with the game then please tell me
what device you run the game on
do you use an external keyboard

Many thanks and apologies for the trouble

By privatetai

I just finished a battle and now my guys are in hospital. It says to heal one of my guys it requries some weird number like 1920987912321 gold. Crazy! Is that a bug?

Also there appears to be a bug with equipping/unequipping weapons. Say I put a dagger in slot1 by accident, I tap on it again and change it to sword, the dagger is not returned to me- it's simply gone.

Increase energy bug

By Cliff

5 years 1 month ago

Hi, and first of all, thanks a lot for making such an awesome game!
Have really enjoyed it since the release, except for a few minor bugs here and there.
But the increase energy bug is a major one, especially since I had to delete the game and reinstall it due to game crashing on launch, and thus lost all my progress.
I’m running the latest build of the game on an iPhone 8, and I’m currently on iOS 12 developer beta 9.
I still can’t get the buy more energy button to work. One symptom to the problem is that the button cannot be found by exploring by touch with one finger using VoiceOver. It’s only possible to flick through the different buttons with flicking right with one finger to find it. And then, doubletaping it does nothing. I have also had my sighted wife take a look at the shop screen, and she can confirm that all the buttons are almost stacked on top of each other, and she wasn’t able to activate the buy energy button either, without VO running.
Looking forwards to this bug gets sorted out, since it kind of stops every other progress in the game when one can’t upgrade energy.
Take care, and keep up the great work! :)

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

Rofl, two of my guys still stuck in hospital without a cure...or rather, to heal them it's some ridiculous 10 digit amount that's not worth it. I had other ten guys do "healer" duty and still no luck.

Got the game

I just love this game so much and the sounds are amazing. Keep up the good work. I've finished the tutorial and now at the beginning stages.

Sorry to report the audio

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

Sorry to report the audio going away issue is still there.
I just went back to the game's screen and the character voices and the whistle for select all are not playing.

Here we go again.

By John from Woodside Apps

5 years 1 month ago

1.0.28 did not make it so 1.0.29 has been sent for app review.

The following has been fixed well re-coded because it all works on my device.

Unavailable tasks now show how much energy and time they need.
You can now swipe through the shop options.
Shops now double the value of a random resource when built
instead of giving 10 gold.
Busy people do not go to war.
Fix for losing by extreme amount after war.
Stone box added to medal screen.
No duplicate quest items will be generated.
*old quest must run out before this takes effect.
Resource and all other item screens now do not update when people return.

The sound issue is being worked on.

Thank you all for your feedback and support.
Once the bugs are out the game can start to improve a bit.

some thoughts about the game

By jescat

5 years 1 month ago

So I love playing this game. I played it for two days straight when I first bought it and got stupidly far before we had to restart. Now I cannot increase my energy and have to wait until the next update to play again unless there is a way to work around that. I have a few suggestions and comments since I got pretty far. I would first suggest that the crop farm, animal farm, and a couple of other buildings are looked in to because they don't give the right boosts unless this was fixed in this update. The shoes and benches were another thing that didn't do much. Also I would suggest that instead of tools going in to warehouse we have an up gradable toolbox that we can send them too. Especially at lower levels I found it annoying that all my axes and swords were taking up space. When I had to sell them I had to remake everything before I could continue and with the higher stuff this could be irritating when you need to remake 100's of axes to get enough wood to make glass. Maybe tools could be added to metals or have their own screen. Either way it works. Please have the energy bug fixed :) I wish to power game some more. I think I have 200000 energy my first play through and want to try war now that it works.

Hello all, the new version has release the energy bug has fix so please go ahead and download it on the App Store

Feature request:

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

Feature request:

I would like to request a "captain's log" type feature where it will show you your last 5 moves. Reason being that very often, I get busy, come back 10 hours later, or next day, and I can't for the life of me remember what was I working on.
Project like building animal farms can take awhile to do, and it's really frustrating to have to try to figure out- okay, was I trying to make strings? glasses? what!
Getting old sucks...

If there's a log of some previous activities, it'd at least give me a clue as to what I was doing.

That, or maybe an option to "set current goal."
So say I'm on the resource, town, or tools screen, I can long tap on an option like "make animal farm" or "make glass" or "make scythe," and on that screen when it gives me info about what materials it needs, it can also give me an option to "set as current goal."
Then all we need is a button near the top where it shows people, shop, inventory, etc that says "check current goal." Press that, and it shows you what your goal is.

A few questions

By Sabrina

5 years 1 month ago

The first question is this.
I have like ten sheep in my inventory. Should I sell nine of them if I only need one?
Also, is there any limit on how much you can build on a building?
I do believe there is an energy limit for people to upgrade. Am I right?
I love this game. I couldn't sleep so had lots of fun doing things and since the energy bug is gone now I can build my animal farm.
But right now I have several sheep and chickens. What to do with those?

I found a bug

By Sabrina

5 years 1 month ago

I found a bug
I have all my characters without energy and I cannot hybernate and it tells me it requires 0 seconds and 0 energy but I cannot do that.
I guess a solusion is to just put my chars in a battle and then cure them in hospital

Another bug

By Sabrina

5 years 1 month ago

Another bug
I tried the battle thing but at the end of the battle it invariably freezes and if I try open it again from the app switcher it eventually crashes.

RE: Feature request

By Roxann Pollard

5 years 1 month ago

I concur with privatetai. I would really like to see all of the suggestions mentioned. I hadn't thought of it but what a fantastic idea. Having a captain's log where I could be able to plan my next goal, to keep track of it, and to see what I've already accomplished would just add that much more of an immersive game experience.

Keep of the great work on this game. It's so nice to see the developer involved with this community and putting in the work that it must take for accessibility.

Love this game.

Energy bug still exists

By kool_turk

I can confirm post 137's bug, and when you're upgrading your energy, make sure you have enough gold.

I was able to keep upgrading my energy until I no longer had enough gold to upgrade.

By Sabrina

Still stuck.
I have tried making my people go to the hospital by loosing battles, but the entire game crashed. I for some reason cannot buy anything from the shop though I have gold. I cannot tell my people to hybernate. Help?

fruit farm does not work properly

The next update will be next friday
please keep the feedback coming.

Some ideas:

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

Some ideas:

1: Now with a group of 12 and a wealth of 97237422 gold (don't ask me how that happened, I think there was a bug, I won one war and got that much gold lol) but...anyways, with your wealth at a certain point, quests are pointless lol with their 80 gold, 100 gold rewards.
I suggest rather than having all quest rewards as gold, have quests where you'd earn bonus' like bonus' storage, energy, people, production, rest, speed, etc.

On that note...

2: I'd love to see quests move away from just all resource related. Rather than it always be like "sell ... in ... moves" Maybe a quest can be "build 20 new shops for the town." "supply the town with enough meat and fish for the winter" "defeated an invading group of bandits (triggers war)" and, "dealt with a nearby dragon (triggers war against one single but vastly powerful enemy)"

One more:

3: Add a "gather rumor" task (enhanced by building pubs). This task when completed will return random informations that may trigger random perks/wars, or just be useless things. The more pubs you have, the bigger chance of it landing on something actually useful.
Useful rumors include things like "The king if building a new palace and will pay primium for blocks (trigger a price boost on blocks for the next hour)" or "pirates are spotted near the cost, ambushing fishing folks (if you decide to go fishing then you run into war0"

useless rumors would just return random maybe funny things like: "A near by farmer was caught cheating on his wife," "another two headed child was born in town last night," "the princess has a new boyfriend," etc etc.

RE: Some ideas

By Roxann Pollard

5 years 1 month ago

I also like all of privatetai's suggestions in this posting, as well. I think that all three will definitely add some more plot and intreague. These suggestions would take this game from just resource management, essentially, to more of a town, state, country building, and defending. As the Knight Commander Universe continues to expand the options mentioned above would empower the commander and give him many more responsibilities, duties, and options for his life, his job, and for the people for whom he is responsible.

Sounds

Sometimes when the sounds don't play I just close the ap from the ap switcher and reopen it again and it works. I am really loving this game so much.

Water Well

By Hubert

5 years 1 month ago

I've just built 2 levels of the Water Well, now I might be mistaken here, but does that building actually help with increasing the amount of water your people collect when you tell them to collect water? Or does that building just do nothing? I'm only asking as even though I built a few levels of the water well each person still comes back with only 12 of water.

I have 88 levels on crop farm

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

I have 88 levels on crop farm but it doesn't seem to help one single bit- it's still returning like only 30 potatoes, 30 carots, etc even when I have 20 people on the job.

I believe leveling animal

By privatetai

5 years 1 month ago

I believe leveling animal farm's also not working. I have 20 people, 12 levels of animal farm, yet it's returning like 40 animals at max each go.

Also still can't make rubber.

quests
