Re: Is Santorini the only 3D game on BGA?

I don't know of many other 3D games on BGA. Santorini uses a technology called WebGL to make the game in full 3D. I'm not aware of other BGA games using this. Dragon Keeper and Taluva are in 3D but use an older technology that's less intuitive to control and can perform poorly on some devices. https...

Re: Recommendations on Coding the "First Come First Served" Mechanic in a Card Game

The client's clock is certainly wrong . Visit https://time.gov/ and look at "Your Device's Clock". My Android phone is 3 seconds fast and my Windows 11 laptop is 17 seconds fast. Inside Windows 11 "Date & Time" settings it shows the last successful network time synchronizatio...

Re: Would love to see some stats post game

It's mostly graphical/thematic. Each row here is a flight leg from the game. The alliance logo matches the player who made that flight. The flight number and the time are fake but increasing from beginning of game to end, reflecting the relative order these flights occurred. The status reflects whet...

Re: The game became unpopular

Yes, exactly. It's not "popular" but it's not "dead".

Among all BGA games, Now Boarding ranks 155/899 by time spent and 177/899 by number of games. Excluding the premium games, Now Boarding ranks 68/729 by time spent and 92/729 by number of games.

Re: The game became unpopular

Yes this pattern is very common on BGA. I think people move on to the new hotness. As of now we have about 100 games per day and most of those are 2-player. The split between real-time : turn based is about 2 : 1. During the peak hype it was closer to 500 games per day. https://i.ibb.co/0hqnYQr/Scre...

Re: Would love to see some stats post game

You do know that many of the stats you're asking about (and others) already exist? In fact I think everything you mention is here (for VIPs I just give the number of VIPs during each phase as a table-level stat but it's not visible in the screenshot below because you didn't play with VIPs in your mo...

Re: Expansion? Africa, Europe

This is a great suggestion and I'd happily implement another map, but since the BGA adaptation is based on the board game we need this to come from Fowers Games.

Please make your suggestion known to the publisher here
