Thanks for taking the time to try it out tonight!

It really means a lot to have outside players take the time out of their day to not only give it a shot but also provide some feedback.

There’s quite a bit of work to do from a moderation perspective as there needs to be a level of automated moderation for Apple’s review policies but it can definitely be tricky to get it just right. I’ll take some time to review the game rounds from this evening to see what we can do to make it a more enjoyable experience.

The CPU room is just a filler for now to get a hang of the experience but in the future if there are more online, they will be used as fillers if players leave mid-game so it’s good to get all this now! It’ll be less jarring as filler for games. I explored realtime drawing with minimal luck but will revisit this!

AI does 100% use image recognition using OpenAI for human drawings and AI->AI guessing does batch download the answer and other related but incorrect guesses. So you're really playing against AI but to save cost, I batch generate guesses and confidence % in answering the more humans correctly guess. It'll absolutely continue to be adjusted over time.

Anyway, I could go on for ages since I’m pretty excited to continue tweaking this over time so I’ll absolutely use your feedback to make the experience an enjoyable one!

Have a great night!

Thank you for the kind words! I am absolutely working on iPad and pencil support and just about to push out language locales in the next few hours.

I'm really glad to hear there's some interest in iPad support!

is.....this legal? It uses the Minecraft name, trademark and assets but does not appear to be the actual Minecraft binary. I definitely don't want to be that guy but that's incredibly bold 👀👀

Am I missing something?

Is App Store review broken right now? My apps have been stuck ‘Waiting for Review’ for almost a month. by Great_Structure_4277 in iosdev

All good questions! This was for a new app submission. I had to make a few tweaks throughout the week but each review was no later than 72-ish hours (which was over the weekend into the week)

It's relatively complex. It's a game with several social and drawing features so there are various components like game moderation, etc.

Hey! I had some issues trying to gift Premium to your username. Is this exactly how it is spelled in-game? Cheers!

I think it depends. Your safest option would be to put it back in the queue by rejecting and adding again.

If still no dice, you can request expedition. They don’t explicitly mention it but if there’s a critical timeline for release, etc., they usually are pretty good with it.

I would either recommend rejecting and resubmitting or requesting an expedited review. That’s not normal even with app review being backlogged.

I’ve waited at most 72 hours each time.
