One of my most-played Android titles

[sgbeal]

@Mangobile: i'm really looking forward to the Tactics Maiden release for Steam. Its Android version is one of the very few console/Android games i've ever played through multiple times (i'm currently on my 3rd or 4th play-through).

In case it's interesting for you to know: i heard about the release via your recent post on Google+.

Ha! Actually I forgot to publish a note about TMR on Google+. Must have been one of the auto forward rules from youtube.

I'm almost finished with the backport of the mobile game, so a new Android version is coming soon. There are many things I can't port back without recoding almost the whole mobile version, but the list of changes is still impressive enough:

Edit: Apple has again changed its requirements for updating existing apps. Last year it was 64 bit which I could manage in the end. This time it's XCode version 9 they now require, and there is no way I can do that in the foreseeable future. Sorry guys, no new iOS version for the time being :(.
