July 2nd, 2009 No Comments »

uw350

Please welcome two new packs: 350 UW points & 750 UW points. Available in iTunes AppStore now!

These are probably going to be the last packs we publish in an old-fashioned 2.0-style. New version supporting in-app purchases is on the way, to be submitted soon. As a bonus, push notification support will be squeezed into this version as well ;) Stay tuned!

Underworld 1.2 is out there

June 29th, 2009 27 Comments »

Another update of Underworld, 1.2 is ready and waiting for you in the AppStore.

We have submitted this version long before the 3.0 came out, so the 1.2 doesn’t have any of those bells & whistles of 3.0 iPhone firmware yet. Still it’s worth checking out.

Messages from dealers and other characters (Joey, Max, etc) now appear right over the offers screen, so you can read and answer to them without going deep into the Profile screen. The same has happened with sales notifications — check out the screenshots.

We have also improved the tutorial at the start of the game — hoping it’s going to be a lot easier for the newcomers to catch up with the rules now.

Many small bugs and glitches have been fixed in the game, thanks for the bug reports we get from the community.

Ok, now just go get the new version and let us know what you think. While you are enjoying it, we are almost ready with some 3.0-rich stuff. Stay tuned for updates ;)

Carry Space boost now available in Underworld

June 23rd, 2009 35 Comments »

We have just added one more trick to the Underworld that you can use in exchange for UW points. It is a temporary +30% boost to your maximum Carry Space. This means that your current «carry space» value increased by 30% and this lasts for 4 hours!

One thing to clarify: if your carry space boost is over but you still have the amount of goods exceed your normal space limit, you don’t lose the goods anyway.

Visit Underworld to check out the new item!

Re-Equipment pack is now available in the AppStore!

May 29th, 2009 29 Comments »

re-equip-1

Re-Equipment pack works the same way as if you buy it in exchange for 75 UW points in Underworld, but it will only cost you $1.99 (U.S. iTunes Store).

For those who are unfamiliar with the whole re-equipment concept: the idea is that you get a full refund for your currently purchased upgrades. This allows you to re-arrange equipment for better game performance.

Another popular use is that sometimes you are getting second thoughts about upgrading too soon. Refunding equipment makes it possible to rethink what you have done ;)

The same as with point packs, you can purchase Re-Equipment pack only once. Be wise.

Get it from the AppStore now!

Economy of Underworld went through some changes

I’m sure you have noticed something new going on in Underworld lately. Many of you didn’t like the changes big time ;)

What has really happened is that the game now gives the advantage to dealers who interact with one another or move from place to place often. Here is how it works.

Back then, you were able to find a lab, pack yourself full with cheap stuff and then just wait until the demand refreshes in the area and addicts will buy your overpriced sweets. This ‘sit and wait’ strategy doesn’t work anymore.

A selection of commodities available in supply & demand on each tile is changing less often now. Moreover, you won’t find the whole variety of sweets on one tile. Some of them you will have to bring from other areas.

When there’s a lab on the map next to you, your best choices are:

  • to buy the stuff and price it fair, so that dealers from other areas would purchase it
  • take the produced sweets, move to another tile and find the demand in there

Same thing with demand. With an addict located on your tile, you can either purchase merchandize from the dealers in other places or take a walk to another tile.

Basically, this means dealers must interact with each other and share profit. Moreover, the tile refresh time is enough for the traffickers to negotiate over the price and setup stable supply chains.

Underworld economy statistics reports a huge increase of dealer’s profits for the last three days. Bad times are in the past indeed ;)

Underworld traffickers are heading to Facebook

Underworld: SweetDeal 1.1 is available in the AppStore.

As we have mentioned before, the biggest and the most useful feature we have prepared in the update is ability to connect with Facebook. What exactly will you be able to do with that?

First of all, it is your chance to get some extra UW points for free! Underworld rewards you with 10 points when you connect your game profile with Facebook. Also, you are going to get 5 points every time one of your Facebook friends joins the game by your invitation.

Second, connecting with Facebook makes it easy to share your Underworld’s events and achievements with your friends:

  • Post stories to your Facebook page every time you acquire a new rank
  • Post UW shouts to share what’s going on with you in Underworld
  • Compete with your friends in the Cream of the Crop

If you’re a Facebook user, don’t forget to visit Underworld’s application page.

As usual, we appreciate your feedback a lot! What other features utilizing Facebook Connect you can think of? What types of UW activity you would like to share with your friends? What about other social networks, like Twitter? Best suggestions will appear in the Open Roadmap.

Update: all game versions, including the free one, are available in the AppStore now.
