Animation removed INTENTIONALLY on WP7!!
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 10:03 amHey everyone,
Upgraded to version 3.04 yesterday and reported the 'bug' with the windmill no longer turning, the fire no longer burning, the flag no longer flying and the birds no longer... flying...
Well imagine my surprise when I got this reply:
"Dear player, kindly understand that we cancel the cartoons so that the reaction of the system would be faster. It is to optimize the experience of the game on a whole. Best regards Danny."
So the animation has been removed intentionally. I understand that some people were having a few issues with Kingdom but cancelling the animation? What a cheap and nasty way to cut corners. I was using the game to show off the gorgeous graphics and smooth animation but now, it just looks cheap.
Such a shame.

. I'm sure things will get better as the code gets optimized over time. I play Bug Village or whatever its called and occasionally the screen goes totally dark and I haven't seen an antlion for like 7 levels. XNA is new to some programmers that are used to writing more lines in other programming languages. As they get more experienced, the code will get tighter and we'll have more fun.
