Today, a new version of Underworld appeared in the AppStore. The one unique feature you will notice there is in-app purchase mechanics for paid in-game extras.

Right now, Underworld is the first MMO in the AppStore that has micro-transactions, so we decided to drop some knowledge on the whole micro-transaction deal and what troubles we were facing while working on it.

Finally, the update has made it to the AppStore.

• Map blackout bug fixed
• New tiled-mode view added in the map screen
• Push notifications about your sales & received new messages

Quick, download it and let us know what you think!

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!

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

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!

Everyone will probably agree that these are exciting times both for the iPhone game developers and for the players. The long and highly anticipated 3.0 firmware is finally coming out tomorrow!

We would like to take a minute and summarize what does this new firmware mean for the Underworld and other MMO & location based games.

By popular demand, we have created a new pack of 50 UW points.

Get it from the AppStore now!

Seems like the shortest post on our blog, evah!
