Ok, now it’s a good time to summarize what’s happened with Underworld during the last time. Lets do it in the form of FAQ session. Feel free to ask more questions in comments or in twitter.

What’s Underworld about?

Underworld is an innovative location based online game for handheld platforms (iPhone, for the time being). Game simulates the trade on the global black market which exists parallel to your everyday life. Using GPS inside your iPhone/iPod Touch, you move between real-world locations, trade various stuff and meet real people online.

Finally, version 1.1 has arrived. Here is what we’ve got for you:

• Dynamic local economy — supply&demand situation in your area will change from time to time
• Player-to-player messaging & public shouts
• Map improvements — you can see drug labs & junkies in your neighborhood thus make considered business decisions
• Tiled game world structure, allowing dealers to interact even on the distance
• Human alike bots don’t exist anymore — everyone you could encounter in the game is either a druglab, a junkie or another real dealer like you
• Lots of interface improvements & minor bug fixes

No worries, all your character data will migrate to the new version (only few hours of your activity will be lost).

Now go to Cydia and download the update. To do that, open Manage section, find UW:DrugLords from the list of installed apps, then tap Modify, Update and wait until it loads.

If you experience troubles updating the game, try installing all the essential Cydia updates first or removing the game completely and installing it from scratch again.

Game help we’ve promised some time ago is on it’s way!

Ask questions or tell us what you think about the new version here in comments or in twitter, we like it too

If you are an Underworld addict, you might have noticed a few server outages lately.

Sorry for that, but there is a good reason — we are preparing the launch of UW 1.1. Yes, the one we’ve been advertising since February. Finally, expecting to push it live next week.

All your characher progress will happily survive the update, the only thing you will have to do is to download a new version from Cydia. You will get a message in the game when it happens.

There still some outages might happen during this weekend, follow us in twitter to be in touch.
