It’s been two hot weeks since Underworld has been first presented to the beta testers community. The time was pretty exciting for us, and there are reasons for that

First of all, the game world’s population is now over 4,000 real players and growing, which is even more than we’ve anticipated for the beta testing period (sorry folks if you’ve noticed some network related delays - the world got overcrowded, and we wanted to give everyone a chance to play).

Secondly, we’ve received a hundreds of feature suggestions and some real useful feedback, which we wanted so much in our effort to improve the game. Thank you all for that and please don’t stop!

It is clear for us now that the concept and the execution of UW were taken very well, and it’s time to make the game even better.

Which brings us to the next point of this topic: game client update (1.0.1) was just pushed to Cydia. Changelog:

• fix: installation errors on some devices
• fix: random crashes on the first run on some devices
• fix: map screen crashes
• feature: map screen usability&speed improved
• feature: new game start (Profile->Edit->New Game)
• bonus feature - Jailbreakers’ Special - true commodity names

Go to Cydia’s “Changes” tab, the brand new shiny UNDERWORLD update will be waiting for you there.

Enjoy and don’t forget to let us know how did it go for you

We are going to put more light on our nearest roadmap soon. Stay tuned.

It’s been almost two months since Underworld was submitted to the AppStore for review. With thousands of other applications being reviewed, we still have no idea when the UW going to be reviewed.

Whilst we are all holding our breath, we have decided it’s time to start polishing the game beta, which is, of course, impossible without real players. So, if you are a Cydia user, you are welcome to check out Underworld right away!

Enjoy and don’t forget to invite your friends (the more players you have around, the more fun you get :)) We are looking forward to hearing your comments, reports and ideas. It’s possible to submit a comment from within the game.

P.S. We know, there is still a lot of people who want to play the game badly but don’t have Cydia. Well, this beta release for Cydia Jailbreakers’ community doesn’t change our plan to become available in AppStore soon.
