Repeated intro
Hello Nubby Mobile enthusiasts, The day is here! Actually, at the time of posting this, the day was yesterday and I completely forgot to make this post on here. My apologies! Nubby's Number Factory is officially live on the appstore and the google play store! Currently, on both platforms you can enjoy the full version of NNF for $4.99 USD or play the lite version for free. Both phones and tablets are compatible for either version on both apple and android devices. Yes, this screenshot is actually real! I am ecstatic that nubby mobile is up there with the giants on the appstore, even if its just for a week or so. If you purchased the full version of nubby mobile on apple or android, I truly appreciate your support. Thank you <3
Extracted changes
- Store
- Server
I won't list appstore/playstore links here because most people view these announcements on PC but if you want to pick up a copy of nubby mobile or nubby mobile lite, they are titled "Nubby's Number Factory" and "Nubby's Number Factory Lite" on the appstore and/or google play store.
That's all! Thanks for sticking with the project after all this time and thanks for playing! Below I have copy/pasted a FAQ that I wrote up yesterday. If you've got a frequently asked question, I've got a frequently answered answer.
More things nubby related things will be coming to the community soon - specifically some nubby accessories (stickers, keychains), as well as steam community items and steam points shop items. More news on those will come this month. Until next time, ~Mog ========== Q: Does my progress on the steam version transfer to the mobile version? A: It does not. This would require me to create some sort of account system tied to the game and also probably pay for and maintain user save data in servers somewhere, which is out of scope for me from a logistical and technical standpoint. Q: If I own the game on steam, do I get the mobile port for free? A: You do not get a free copy of the mobile port if you own the game on steam. While I really truly do appreciate your support on steam, the problem with this is similar to the problem I mentioned above in relation to transferring save data - it's not feasible for me to implement. Additionally, selling copies of videogames is how I make money and setting up a system like this would not be smart from a business standpoint. There's bills to pay and I spent a ton of time and money making this port possible. If you can't afford the mobile port on top of the steam version, I understand and I really do appreciate any amount of support you can afford give me. Please do not buy nubby mobile if it is financially unwise for you to do so. Apologies about that, but I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Q: Why no portrait mode? A: While it may seem counter-intuitive to have the game be played in landscape (especially for users with small phones), I made this choice early on because there was simply no way that I could elegantly resize and reorder the graphical/gameplay elements of the number factory gui without making major changes to gameplay or having to completely redo all graphical assets you see in a typical game of nubby. It is not a simple ask to request portrait mode. That is a request to spend likely 2+ more years actively
