    No plans for Android either? Got it for Steam as a gift, and gifted it out as well, but I'd prefer to play on my phone and throw more $$ at you awesome folks.

    No plans for any ports of Precipice of Darkness 4. It's Steam & XBLIG only.

    I know it's super early on, but what about the new game you're starting on, since the new engine supports both iOS and Android?

    Unlikely. More work than most ports with less reward (RPGs aren't exactly lighting up the sales charts on iOS or Android).

    Apparently there are Steam Cards in OTRSPOD4 now? Curious how to get them...

    There is NO way to gain more exp without moving on to Chapter 11, is there? Half of my team isn't level 30, so I'm missing some ultimate abilities. Killing

    is proving to be more of a bitch without some of those ridonk skills.

    To get the cards just have the game running through Steam, I think the drop rate had been adjusted to something like one card every 3 hours or so, though it's random. You could technically let it idle minimized at the title screen, but this is a game to play! I confess, during the trading card beta I idled some less rad games just for card drops...

    Its definitely not that long as a rule, but it can be as long as that. Its just random.

    Beat it. Honestly I ended up appreciating 3 more, but it was absolutely worth playing through 4. I feel that de-emphasizing the characters through the Pokemon battle system ended up hurting the plot. The chatty characters weren't involved in the battles and the fighting characters weren't involved in the story, neither feels right. Moira's role was badly weakened, talking Jim was entirely uninteresting, Gabe was consistently paired with characters he had no chemistry with, Tycho was limited to a recurring cameo, and the new characters didn't get to develop any sort of interesting behaviors.

    From a gameplay stance, I was getting the feeling of "too much STUFF" by the end. Something like 10 party members I can't try at all, tons of weapons and accessories I don't have money or time for, etc. The Seamstriss and arena were genius in 3, for forcing limits on you in one case, and for allowing infinite battles in the other. I feel like Fish Force HQ should have actually been a place where you could say, repeatedly fight the toughest enemies at will to try different party combos. Or there could have been an area which forced different monster setups or rewarded switching or something. Finally, it would have been neat if in the last area, there was an item in a chest that would be a huge powerup for ONLY one monster, a way to make your favorite stronger for the ending.

    Man, I really, really loved this game. I think I honestly might try playing through it again on Insane. I just wish there was more of it.

    Very, very excited for the next Zeboyd game.

    I've been going through the PA games the past week or so.

    Loved the first one, but felt like the second was garbage. I enjoyed the third one more than the first and I've just started the fourth. My only complaint so far on the 4th is the battle music. I don't know why but it gives me a headache. :(

    The town music though... It is literally the most calming music ever. I love it.

    Thanks Rainbow! I will definitely be putting that music on my mp3 player and going to sleep with it.
