Haha she was seen from behind, sitting. Not a big deal I think, but knowing Apple I decided didn't want to risk even showing a naked butt (or better half-butt)

Well I found here through those apps anyway. ^___^ After all I spent more time outdoors than at home so I rather much preferred to have my games on portable devices.

All right finally SOTW is available on iOS too
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/toa-sea ... 74039?mt=8
it SHOULD work on very old devices like my ipad mini with only 512mb RAM, but 1Gb RAM is definitely recommended (it's a HUGE game).

Question: why the in app purchase for coins and whatever? It's not great advertising...

That's how it works on mobile It's optional, for those who want to do it. You can just play the game normally and ignore completely those "cheats". But since many people asked for those...

The problem is that at first it looks like the game is a simple free visual novel without any management, but the iap can unlock all the content (as in no gameplay required, not the actual "from demo to full") and the coins add the icing on the cake.

I know how things work and it makes sense, but somebody not in the know might and will misunderstand... see https://twitter.com/RyGuy176/status/674026584760647680

Well not my fault if they don't understand. That's how it works. In the past I tried making paid-only games and was a disaster.
Besides, the "free" is not put by me, but Apple (or Google). It's clearly stated in the page "offers in-app purchases". I can't do more than that. And don't worry, I've found out that a lot of mobile users just would like everything free and always complain. I am not really worried about what they post. Seriously it's enough to browse randomly the appstore (Google in particular) to see all messages like "I give 1 star because is not free" "pls make it full free version" "why make it paid? make it free". And so on

I just got a new iPad, and restored it from the old one's backup, but the save files for SotW didn't appear. Apple said that some apps had different backup settings and that I should contact the developer. Do you have it set to backup saves? How should it work?

With Apple products, you should be able to install(restore) from the cloud with all your saves and game states intact.

I don't like using things like that; I prefer that nobody else have my data. On the bright side, I tried it again, and it worked this time for some reason. No idea what happened - maybe the backup it makes when I push 'Sync' is different than actually clicking the 'Backup' button? Oh well.
