SnD Games

Welcome to this week's edition of the Weekly Progress, I'm your host Sam Otero here bringing you the goods! But first a word from our sponsors! Want to play Ninja-ja? Get a shiny pikachu, shiny mew, shiny starter, shiny magikarp or have your suggestion for a weapon design to be used on Ninja-ja? Click here for more info on how you can get those things. Okay we are back on air and ready to roll. If you have read my past blogs you will know that right now I'm concentrating on security, so this week's update will be all about that. Unfortunately new content will have to wait while I make the game secure. But just like last week I will squeeze in a new pokemon hunt along with a new achievement. The pokemon hunt and achievement will be like before the hunt will get you the non shiny version and the achievement will get you the shiny version and also like last week it will be a pokemon that you can't capture in the game currently....

Click here for more info on how you can get those things. Hey guys! Sorry for the long delay on this Ninja-ja update. We've decided that it would be good if I (Dan) learned a bit more programming in order to free up Sam so that he can focus more on PTD stuff. So these first few Ninja-ja updates will most likely be a bit smaller and take longer than expected but we'll catch up over time and make it worth your while! The Android version of Ninja-ja is on hold for now. We know a lot of you are requesting it but it introduces some issues that we're still dealing with. We'll definitely be releasing it in the near future though and possibly for the iPhone as well. We've got a lot of cool stuff planned for Ninja-ja and there's certainly a good amount of you interested in it so you c...

Pokemon that have the move selfdestruct will now be able to move around. The 4th challenge mode will now work correctly no matter what you do. The chapters will now unlock correctly once you beat all the levels in the previous cha...

Hey guys, ready for another week of Sam & Dan Games? First I want to say that Ninja-ja Alpha is coming very soon, by the end of April, it will first be on the Android Marketplace for 99cents. The game will be updated either weekly or bi-weekly and will not interfere with PTD's update schedule. Buying Ninja-ja will get you a shiny pikachu code for your PTD file, just a small thank you for buying Ninja-ja and supporting me and dan :) We will also bring the game to the iphone/ipad and also a web version for those of you who don't own an android phone. Dan and I are looking to add more members to our development crew and right now what we need the most is a capable artist. Somebody that wants to work with us on our next games. This is a paid position. All communication will be done online. Here is what we are looking for: A passion for games. A passion for making art. 18 years or older. Must have a portfolio. Also these next requirements are extra but if you have these...

Well the update is out, check out the Game Download Link tab for the links to download the new version. All mystery gift codes for people who previously donated 10 or more (the evolution stone codes) will be sent out by Monday. Thanks :) This update bring the level cap up to 25! And the first challenge mode level! When you beat the challenge mode level you will get a mystery code!  Some good news! We hit over a MILLION views on newgrounds this week, I'm really grateful of you guys for getting me there and I can't wait to see how far we go! My friend over at playtowerdefensegames.com has created a Mystery Gift Code Hunt for you guys if you go to this link http://www.playtowerdefensegames.com/blog/pokemon-mystery-gift/?pokemongame , you will get hints to find out a very special mystery gift code! This code will only be available for a week so get it while it last. Also you need v2.2 for this code to work! As you might have seen/heard/read the game got taken down aga...

Hey guys, I've been reading pretty much all the comments, haven't had the chance to really answer anything. Each week it gets harder and harder to answer all the great and not so great questions. I plan to put up an FAQ with answers to most of the questions you guys have. I don't really need to wait for the poll to be over to know that level 8 needs to be toned down, but for those of you that liked the challenge you don't have to worry the level will show up as a challenge mode level. Speaking of challenge mode, beating a challenge mode level for the first time will be how you get a mystery code, each level will give out it's own mystery code. Now to talk about the next update. Shiny versions of all current wild and catchable pokemon! Challenge Mode Levels! Level cap raised to.......... I want to raise the level cap to 40 but I don't know if I will make it in time so I will be posting a list of what needs to be done to get there, I might make it to 3...

Level 8 is done are ready to be played, but please read this first before you go! You will know if you are playing the new version because it will say Alpha v2.1. First of all, I want to explain the pokemart. You go to the pokemart you buy the stone that you need, then you go select a level to play and on the party select screen you press on the pokemon that you want to use the stone with. You will see a button there "Use Item". Click on that, if the pokemon can use that stone you will see it there. Second, on Level 8 - Mt Moon 1, there is a spot on the map that you put your pokemon in that looks brown instead of the usual orange. That spot is meant only for Rock Type pokemon! It's not a bug, only rock type pokemon can go there. Third, codes for evolution stones for people who donated in the past will have to wait until next week, I didn't get a chance to add that into the game. I will have a proper inventory screen later on, and the pokemart will get pretti...

Accidentally deleted this post... Ooppss

This week's update is starting to shape up so I figured I would keep you guys updated on what's happening. Let's get to it. Fixes/Tweaks: Pretty much all of these fixes are due to feedback that all of you have given me, either directly or indirectly. So keep it coming :) (Note: All these fixes are finished and will be available on this update coming up) Fixed badges showing up on profiles that didn't earn the badge yet. Level Select screen no longer requires scrolling (more of grid style). Shiny pokemon will get more experience per kill, roughly 50% more. If you have your sound fx and music muted, leveling up or evolving will no longer be heard. Lowered the amount of time the evolving popup window stays on before your pokemon evolves. Added an small animation to your pokemon when it's evolving. Pokemon that can't be captured now have a dark blue life bar. The game version number will be on the main screen so you know which version you are playing. Gam...

Okay so a new week a new poll and new updates to come. Let's go! For the poll I want you guys to decide part of the story, sorta like interactive story telling. You and Joey will be going back to Viridian Forest to capture and train some more. So should Joey capture a pikachu on his visit there? You decide! Also I will be adding a FAQ Page soon that should answer a lot of questions, from updating the game, to why does Brock keep taking my pokemon. (Because you dropped it), also an unofficial forum seems to have made an appearance check it out and maybe we will make it an official forum :) This week is not only about Pokemon Tower Defense. I will be showing off "Ninja-ja" our next game! It will be a reallllyyyyy early alpha version, but I want you guys to check it out and bring feedback every step of the way. This game will only be for the phones so keep that in mind, it also uses the multi-touch features of your phone. Last but not least. What's next for PTD? ...

UPDATE 3: Level is about 85.111233232% done! About an hour if everything goes smoothly! UPDATE 2: Update is still coming tonight, just a heads up this next level is going to be a free roam level, meaning no candy, you can capture everything in the level, bunch of waves. The levels are design as a good way to level up and capture pokemon, however no money will be awarded in the free roam levels . If I have some extra time I will include 2 free roam levels in this update so that it's easier to get pikachu. UPDATE: This next update will be done by Sunday night the latest, won't be done today Saturday :( Thanks for your patience. Hey guys! It's me again, so it looks like most of you want the updates to come on a weekly basis (me too!). I think that looking forward to an update on a weekly basis is fun, it reminds me of waiting each week for my favorite tv show to come on so I can watch it. Out of 2442 (I swear this thing got reset or something) 21% wanted monthly big jui...

I'm sending out the emails to all those who donated to get their shiny starters, you will need a new version of the game which you can find here (I also changed the link on the other blog post) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2SU40OT5 This version activates Mystery Gift, and lets you put in the code for you shiny pokemon. If you donated $10 or more you will be getting something else that I'm still working on, if you donated $20 or more you will get even more additional stuff. If you play in Newgrounds I uploaded a new version there but it might take a little bit until it actually shows up, I emailed tom over at Newgrounds to see if something was wrong. If you didn't donate and don't plan on donating anytime soon you don't really need this update right now. If you want to donate but don't know how or have questions just post a comment here or email me directly. To donate just click on the donate button to the top right of this page. And just to remind ...

It's been a really crazy day. Was just about to get the level cap update out, and bam I get an email from google that the app has been suspended and removed. I saw it coming but not this fast, it all has to do with the growth that we experienced. We ended up getting over 120,000 downloads, and I'm sure giving enough time we would have reached millions. So what happens now? I know a lot of you came for the pokemon tower defense, and if it wasn't here anymore you might leave. I don't blame you, but me and dan want to make games for a living. We want to make games for you guys. We have a game coming down hopefully in April, and I hope you guys can give it a look, when I post it here. It has ninjas. So am I quitting pokemon tower defense? The answer is no. If they don't want it on the market place then it's not going to be there and it won't ever be there again. Nintendo spent a lot of money and work building up pokemon and I respect them for that. They ne...

UPDATE 2: New version 1.5 has exit confirmation box implemented. UPDATE: New version 1.4 has implemented fixes for all the issues mentioned in this blog post! Took some time today to gather up all the feedback and came up with a list of things that you guys wanted fixed/changed. I'm going to post the ones that will have higher priority (mainly the ones that people mentioned more than once). 1. Being able to skip a cut scene after you have seen it at least once. Thanks to Sage (Marketplace Comments), Joram , Joshua , and Ollorin93 for mentioning it. 2. Pause the Battle Music when the Evolution Music plays. Thanks to Adyad , and Joshua . 3. Make the currency symbol be the correct one (the one used in the game) . Thanks to Adyad , and Joshua . 4. The App Icon needs to be changed. Thanks to Dan , and Joshua . For the 4th one I'm holding a poll, that will show up in-game as well as on the side of this blog. If you guys want to change the Icon, I want to hold a conte...
