A Tale of Survival - Updates, patch notes and ideas news

Hiya guys,

Sorry we have not updated our IndieDB page in such a long time! We have been extremely focused on improving and updating A Tale of Survival in recent weeks it has been crazy.

In the time between now and our last update the game had undergone tremendous change and adaptation. We have learnt allot in the past few weeks and hope that reflects on the quality of the game now as compared to launch. If there is anything we have learnt the most it is just how much of a monster Android can be.

As I am sure some of you are asking "Where is the PC version?!", the short answer is soon. The long answer is that we are focusing on the Android release, adding new content and bug fixing as much as possible. Once we feel the game is 'complete' on Android the game will then be ported to Windows.
