Terry Bailey Sr Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I am kind of new to the game but my Henchman mentioned that Wyrd is working on an official app. I also heard Russ mention it on the D6 Generation podcast. I did a search to find news. I an find nothing less than a year old. Is there any news on this app? How it is going, if it is coming or canceled? Anything? EDIT: I am here to eat crow. I was very vocal on this thread. I doubted the app would come out in a timely fashion. I was wrong. The app has come out and it is indeed amazing. I am truly impressed. Thank you Wyrd. I am excited that you are already talking about future updates too. While I absolutely love this app I do have some minor things I would like to see added. First and foremost Landscape mode I use my ipad in a keyboard case and use it during tournament this not only hides my scheme from my opponent but it makes it handy for me as well. The other thing is a way to mark when models have been activated (color change to name bar maybe?). Thanks again Wyrd!!!!

Terry Bailey Sr Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thank you for that link, but that is 7 months old. Is there any news on how it is going? Seems odd that a company that is making app has not posted something about it in 7 months. I mean it seems they would want to keep interest up. Keep the buzz going if you know what I mean. There may not be much to tell I understand that. I would think a post once in a while like "guys we are making progress on the app no release date yet but here is a screen shot of what we have so far". That kind of thing keeps buzz going.

Tris Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 That could be one reason for threads like that one to come up recently: Regarding the app, I guess they don't want to say: "nothing new yet" and repeat themselves, although I have to admit I would like to get updates more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nathan Caroland Posted March 24, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I could, but quite bluntly, we're busy enough that I don't need to track down every bit and go 'nothing new'. Maybe I'll make that someones job here in the near future, but we've got everyone rather dialed out right now. Some new blood is coming on here soon though. It's still in the works. Delayed on that end due to a small whatnot that they got over, and then on our end because we expanded it well beyond what we initially planned to do, all for the better. Summer is a good time for it, we'll get some henchmen to test it, then it, and some other apps, will make their way out over the course of the rest of the year. So yeah, nothing new, till then. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bailey Sr Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Near future is a very relative term. My idea of near future is generally 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoodlesWithGuns Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 i'd guess GenCon seems like a good time to announce cool new digital player tools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Loki- Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Gencon is very likely at least for an announcement of an availability date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that there is no news publicly available, but that there is still things going on in private that may well lead to a public announcement soon.

Terry Bailey Sr Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Again soon is a relative term. Soon translates to sometime today for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why Wyrd often doesn't say very much until they are ready to announce something formally. (Not having a go at you, just pointing out that wyrd haven't given any time lines since they said summer is probably a good time for it, the people who used near future and soon probably know as much as you do about it. Although as was said, Wyrd use Gencon as a big platform for releases. Gencon is in the summer. But 2+2 does not always equal 4 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 The flyer for The Other Side at GenCon 2015 said it was coming "soon", the kickstarter was over a year later in dec 2016. So expect expect more information about this by Christmas 2018. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bailey Sr Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I really do wish companies could do like movies and announce a specific date on things. However, I know that would be hard for them to do. But imagine for a moment that a game company announces that on January 10th their game will be released and they hit that date. Fans would really take a liking to that company. Problem is no company is willing to take the risk that they would get it wrong even by a few days because if they did fans would complain so much. Someday one company will have the coconuts to try it though. I already know of one game company that ships kickstarters early (Bezier Games) But Ted who owns that company is a wizard when it comes to getting his stuff made and distributed. Who in the miniatures market will be so bold, who indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally wyrd does give release dates very often. There's even a whole page dedicated to when releases are coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they very strongly try to push certain movies to come out at specific times of the year. Teen movies will drop in the summer when the teens have the time to go, Oscar-bait will drop about a month before the Oscars, holiday movies too of course, etc. A lot of those movies that are too early / late for what they want to be will just flat out do worse. But on topic with the app, my bet's for at least a release date at GenCon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
