Why doesn't Niantic use the Google play beta program?
I think the topic says it all. Instead of limited stage rollouts Niantic could use the beta program that's built into the play store. Users can opt in and they can limit the amount of users. Players that find a gamebreaking bug like the PVP one all it takes is a one button press to leave the beta and a quick uninstall reinstall to get the current version. This would allow for people who are theoretically interested in testing to have quicker access through an official channel instead of waiting for an APK to be uploaded. CalcyIV has recently joined the program to help test new features and I think Pokemon go would be a great fit also.
A beta 2 is available. It includes a new game mode called Progressbar Defender game mode, a fix for HEX viewer and some other tiny things. If you are a part of beta-program on Google Play you can test it all right now. Please tell us your opinion and report bugs.
I am in the Google play beta program and I just got a notification that new firmware is available for me. I'm in the process of installing P2_GMS_V1.0.1056 . Does anyone know what's new with this update? Are release notes available online somewhere?
Anyone who is waiting on the new UI still, make sure you're not in the Google Play Services Beta program
TL;DR: the current play services beta isn't triggering the AA UI Update feature flag. So if you're in the beta and don't already have the update, this is likely why. Long version: Found this tip in a random comment in the Official AA Forums by Google. This message is targeted to the 10+ people I saw in various threads over the last couple weeks on here who mentioned they either purchased a new phone or factory reset their phone and lost the update. If you already have the new UI, then obviously ignore this post, as the compatibility issue with the beta is only impacting new or factory reset phones. In your phone, go to settings, search for "Google play services" and then click on "app details" at the bottom of the app info page to open the Google Play Store page. From there your can see if you're opted into the beta or not. If you're in the latest update of the beta, the new UI won't show up for you in your AA settings. If you already have the new UI then obviously this doesn't impact you. As past beta updates weren't an issue. If you want the new UI now, unfortunately it's not as simple as opting out of the beta, as once you do that, you'll still have the beta until the next update comes out. However, if you uninstall the Google Play Services updates you can force it to download the latest non beta update. The shitty part of doing that is that it will require you to re-setup Google Pay, Wear OS, Android Backups, and who knows what else. If it won't let you uninstall the beta, make sure to disable Google Pay and Find My Phone from the Admin Apps list and then it will free things up. If your patient, opt out of the beta and you'll be fine after the next Google Play Services update and you won't have to deal with your Google Services being reset.
Hey, I know this is extremely irrelevant but for the past like 5 months my dm bubbles have been a nice blue-purple gradient and today all of a sudden they're back to grey. I am in the Google play beta program for insta. Is there any way to make it purple again? Will they eventually release it for everyone? Thanks
What's all this stuff about the upvote changing? I'm really lost
The upvote for me on my phone, computer, and school laptop is all the same. And it has been for a long time. Today people started complaining and nothing changed for me. Before you say I need to update, I've already updated multiple times and even transfered to the Google play beta program. Everything is still the same. The only noticable difference is you cant view an image by taping on it in your feed, and that annoys me
Pngme are launching the second round of beta testing to around 350 users using the Google Play Store beta testing program
Users who have received an email notifying them that they were added to the beta testing whitelist must click to opt into beta testing of Pngme using your Google Play email. Then, install the Pngme application from the beta portal in the Google Play store. (We have whitelisted a small segment of users who have registered to our Early Access beta testing and we currently have a 15,000 user waitlist) website: https://pngme.com/
Left beta program, do I have to reinstall Google play services?
I left the beta program cause I eventually want to get back to.stable version. Only used beta to get that ota from last month. I remember last time I reinstalled Google play services it made my settings all wonky and had to resign in to alot of my apps. Also removed all my android pay credit cards so had to readd those. If I leave the beta program but choose not to reinstall play services... Will the beta update eventually be over written with a stable version once the update eventually comes out?
Let's face it. Facebook beta testing isn't working very effectively. The new UI seems to be rolling out randomly, sometimes to beta testers and sometimes not. I believe that the root of their issue is that they don't utilize the Google Play beta program properly. By rolling out the UI randomly server-side, they're including plenty of users who either don't notice the changes, don't care about the changes, or do care yet choose not to provide feedback or bug reports. I would argue that if you've voluntarily signed up for the beta program, there's a reason for that, and that a far larger proportion of beta testers would want to help make the app better. As a result, this slows the development process. Just some thoughts I had. P.S. because the UI change is activated server-side and not through an incremental app update, the reviews on Google Play can be extremely misleading or inaccurate. Yet another issue.
Hey fellow game devs, I've just about finished my first ever Android (and solo) game project, but now I need to test it thoroughly to ensure it's of the highest quality I can make it. The game is essentially Snake, but on a cube :) Here's the official page for the game at the moment: https://www.little-joseph.tumblr.com/snake-cubed I am testing: All game modes, Achievements, Leader Boards, Control schemes, Colour schemes, Anything I don't explicitly say I'm not testing What I aren't testing: Audio - this is music and sound effects, which are currently in development and haven't been added yet. (This is as of build 0.1.5b) Download/Beta Link - I'm doing the beta using Google Play's beta program, so I've set up an opt-in beta where you simply follow this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cubed.snake.android WARNING! If you want to test the in-app purchases then give me your gmail address so that I can add it to the license test users so you won't get charged for purchases! Let me know what you think and lets get a bit of discussion going here! Cheers!
I recently released my Note-taking app on Android (early access, open beta). It is designed specifically for devices with digital pens (i.e. S-Pen, Active Pen, Apple Pencil). It works on devices without the pen, but it works best on devices with Samsung's S-Pen. I hope you give it a try!
An Android notetaking app with Active Pen support (S-Pen compatible). This app started as a capstone project for my Computer Science master's program at CSUF. The project aims to solve three users interface design flaws of handwriting apps on the Android platform that lead to inefficient notetaking. The project report declares these three design flaws:
There are too many steps required to perform the task of switching writing tool and tool color.
Limited page panning results in a cumbersome writing experience at the edges of the screen.
Users forget to switch to the desired writing tool and tool color after using a previous tool.
The solutions to their respective problems are:
Reduce the numbers of steps required to switch writing tool or tool color.
Allow users unrestricted page panning to eliminate cumbersome writing at the screen edges.
Render an optional cursor on screen that indicates to the user at all times the selected writing tool or tool color.
[Mobile Gaming] How Riot Games is now fighting hordes of fake mobile games with its new game 'Wildrift'
“You’re playing games on your phone right? Do you also play Candy Crush? I heard of that one guy who spent 100k on microtransactions lol.”. For PC gamers, mobile gaming is known for its casual games and greedy game design. Really, no one wants to trade a pc game for a mobile game when it comes to paying fair prices for ingame items. And they’re right. The story I’m about to tell you contains all of the darkest and most damned necromancy from the mobile gaming underworld, such as greedy microtransaction, unbalanced gameplay and blatantly obvious plagiarism, manifested in the form of a game called Mobile Legends. Right now, this game is in a war with Riot Games’ Wildrift, both communities fighting over which game to play. But how did we get there? In this write up, I’ll give you a rundown on the history of mobile mobas and how we ended up here, in this war. Terms to know Before I begin, I’ll explain a few crucial terms to understand this story to you. MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) is a subgenre of strategy video games in which each player controls a single character called a champion with a set of unique abilities that improve over the course of a game and which contribute to the team's overall strategy. The ultimate objective is for each team to destroy their opponents' main structure, located at the opposite corner of the battlefield. (Quoted in parts from Wikipedia) Skin is a change in appearance which can be equipped on a champion to make him look different. Very often they feature interesting thematics, eg. a medieval theme. League of Legends, developed by Riot Games, is the single most popular Moba game on the Pc and is often abbreviated as LoL. Moontoon The developer of Mobile Legends. The Birth of Mobile Mobas Let me introduce you to the godfather of mobile mobas, Vainglory. Released in 2014 by Super Evil Megacorp, short SEMC, it instantly set the standards of what top tier mobile gaming looks like. With Vainglory, SEMC caught lightning in a bottle. Vainglory was the first pc-quality moba on mobile devices and well recognized in the mobile gaming community. What Vainglory had to offer were the best graphics in the industry, a group of top tier developers from companies like Blizzard, and on top of everything a very fair monetization scheme - something of a novelty in mobile games, where shameless pay to win schemes are the norm. Throughout 2015 to 2017 Vainglory saw incredible growth. Where mobas were almost nonexistent on mobile devices before, Vainglory blew up as it was frequently featured on the AppStore and was beloved by the players. It introduced lots of mobile gamers, who would otherwise never have played a moba, to the genre and created the moba genre for mobile devices. The players knew that SEMC were pouring their soul into forging a revolutionary game, which also stands in contrast to the utter greed which has established itself in mobile gaming. Fans paid for skins ingame not only because they loved the designs, but also because they genuinely wanted to support their developers. To this day, Vainglory is one of the all time fan favorites of mobile mobas. Throughout 2015 and 2016 Vainglory had its golden age. But the tides were shifting. A storm was brewing and change was coming as a new competitor entered the scene… LoL clones! LoL clones everywhere! In late 2017, three years after Vainglory’s launch, with increasing momentum, a legion of fake LoL Mobas was emerging from dark corners of china. It’s demon leader was called Mobile Legends. To be exact: ‘Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’’. Let me explain how hundreds of LoL fakes successfully sprouted out of nowhere at that time: Vainglory was basically the option in the moba market when it came to mobile devices. But as more and more mobile gamers discovered mobas, they too wanted to be part of what a fully fledged Moba had to offer. They wanted more. And looking at what League of Legends, the most popular pc moba, had to offer, this meant a 5v5 map and gamemode, which Vainglory didn’t offer as it’s only 3v3. Not only that, but also these new Moba games used joystick controls compared to the tap controls Vainglory had to offer. Joystick controls were less precise but were far easier and more comfortable to use, and ultimately turned out to be the players favorite controls. Besides a larger map and new control schemes, they also looked quite familiar to Riot Games League of Legends: Map Comparison: LoL - Mobile Legends The picture above shows League of Legends and Mobile Legends in direct comparison. Mobile Legends became popular, because LoL not available on mobile devices, and games like Mobile Legends openly copied, stole and plagiarised it’s map, champions and skins. It wasn’t even done in a disguised way: They used the similarities as their marketing. Here are some more comparisons juxtaposing the two games, try to look for similarities! A playable character: Champion Comparison: Garen The Logo Logo Comparison: LoL - Mobile Legends Another ingame Screenshot: Gameplay: LoL - Mobile Legends A bigger 5v5 game mode, more comfortable controls and copying LoL for mobile devices meant that Mobile Legends & Co exploded in 2017 and the following weeks and months. During that time, when Mobile Legends was soaking up players from everywhere, the beloved game which created mobas for mobile devices, Vainglory, lost more and more players as the devs failed to respond to the new 5v5 mobile moba market with a well made 5v5 mode in time. With its success came big bucks for Mobile Legends developer MoonToon. But surely, a game with lower quality than the pc game which it's trying to mimic will certainly mean lower in-app prices for its skins, right? While it takes you 80 hours of grind to unlock one of a hundred champions, you can also pay around 10$. Skins are more complicated to obtain. While in mobas like Vainglory or LoL you can pay around 20$ for a legendary skin, which is the best you can get, in mobile legends legendary skins are obtained through spinning a magic wheel. The community roughly agrees that a legendary skin will set you back about 200$ each. Unlocking all champions without spending real money would cost you 8000 ingame hours actively playing the game. Even it’s own community and fans complain about unreasonably high prices and grind for ingame items, but their voices are drowned by the noise of the money machinery the ingame shop has become. Mobile Legends earned 116 Million$ in 2017, the first year of its growth and every single year after, their earnings increased even more. With the former mobile moba champion Vainglory being defeated by Mobile Legends and the hordes of lol duplicates, there was no competition left. But of course these changes didn’t go unnoticed. Riot Games didn’t want to let copycats earn millions of dollars with rip offs of League of Legends for smartphones, so they wanted to end Mobile Legends. A dark era for mobile mobas In the same year as Mobile Legends release, in 2017, Riot Games found out what Moontoon was doing to its franchise on mobile devices and decided they had enough. They filed a lawsuit over 40 pages, demonstrating how Mobile Legends and other game developers stole their game. The lawsuit hit the Mobile Legends community with a bang: At the time, players were discussing if this meant the death of Mobile Legends, but it was also unclear how effective a lawsuit against a chinese company would be. Time passed and no update was given, when one year later, in 2018, it was announced that Riot Games won the lawsuit and were awarded $2.9M. It was a huge victory and meant that Mobile Legends had finally received a charge for its plagiarism. And it looks like Mobile Legends will stop copying after losing in court against Riot Games, as their doings were declared illegal, right? In the same year and throughout 2019 Mobile Legends grew in popularity and revenue as it pumped out and waves of new content. They changed up their strategy slightly, copying less obvious, but it was still clear to everyone which game they're mimicking. The truth is, even though they were hit with a $2.9M lawsuit, there still was no actual competitor in the market who could threaten Mobile Legends, it was still the number one mobile moba, with a revenue of now over 159M $. And with that, 80h playtimes for unlocking a champion, unbalanced gameplay and 200$ for a legendary skin continued to be the norm for gamers in mobile mobas. Mobile Legends took a hit from the lawsuit, but it was still going very well. But while the sky of the mobile moba landscape was darkening by the months and Mobile Legends was continuing to grow its empire, in October of 2019, suddenly a sun flare peaked through the dark sky. Wildrift vs Mobile Legends In the middle of October 2019, Riot Games announced it’s new title: ‘League of Legends: Wildrift’ - short ‘Wildrift’. This was Riots answer to Mobile Legends, a verdict to the Mobile Legends misdeeds: Real League of Legends for mobile devices. Graphics comparable to its pc representative. Champions directly from League of Legends and all the great controls for mobile devices. It was League on mobile devices. To Mobile Legends players who were sick of the rough seas of unbalanced games it was a haven, for the tired eyes of dull graphics it was Jesus curing their blindness and for gamers whos wallets have been sucked empty it was a gold mine. But how did Riots' new game set itself apart from the rest of the mobile moba games? First of all, Wildrift is the original. It is a direct representation of LoL made for mobile devices and therefore is the closest a mobile gamer will ever get to a fully fledged moba on his phone. Secondly the game looks great. It’s comparable to the pc version and lightyears ahead of what its competitors look like. And thirdly, Riot Games offers a very fair monetization scheme: Around 10$ for a skin, decent prices for champions and lots of free champion- and skin-chests, something which is completely unheard of in Mobile Legends. After Wildrifts announcement and during its open beta in mid 2020, as Riots new title was substantializing from a trailer to a real game, surely everybody would love the game, which seems objectively better in every aspect. The Battle Mobile Legends had a new competitor in the market. It was evident that Wildrift was holding better cards for the future, so after Wildrifts announcement Moontoon knew that they were on a ship that’s sinking. They decided to grab their weapons and take the offence onto Wildrift. Arguments on reddit broke out. They were not very productive. Gamers, mostly kids and teenagers, having arguments about the two games were not very practical and often took the form of calling each other idiots for liking one game more than another, and arguments started and ended with ‘fuck Wildrift’ or ‘fuck Mobile Legends’. On the development side Moontoon was shifting course: The moment the closed beta for Wildrift started, all of a sudden Mobile Legends started giving away a few free skins to its players. Players noticed Moontoon doing things they would not have done for the community before. The other day, rumors spread that Moontoon was actively review bombing Wildrift on the Google Playstore. This couldn’t be proven 100%, but weirdly enough, about one week after a reddit post pointed out the bad reviews, they disappeared again. And this is the track we're on right now. Wildrift is opening its beta program in more and more countries around the globe, spending lots of money on advertising the game to players. It’s seeing very good reviews and looks at huge growth. Mobile Legends on the other hand sees its future going downhill. If Moontoon won’t introduce great changes to its game, it probably won’t last for a long time. It’s got a huge player base in South East Asia going for it, but they too are noticing Wildrift and its advantages and will try out the new game, so it’s just a matter of time until Moontoon has to act. What lies ahead Right now, Wildrift has to prove itself as the better game. Also we’ll have to see if Mobile Legends can retain its huge player base by updating Mobile Legends with appealing content. The mobile moba market is very lucrative, so you can expect both developers to clash for all customers. So with that, the game is on!
