Today I'll begin rolling out a Beta release for Android, with the following patch notes:
Short version: nothing changes except the export and import from file functions, which now use a specific folder, and gets wiped with an uninstall.
Android operative system keeps evolving and the days of random games accessing your whole storage are numbered. It actually makes sense, I have to say. In the future I will research how to do this more conveniently through the Documents folder, and even a file picker maybe. But I had a deadline to update the game with the latest SDK and this was what I could upload with a safe margin.
There's the possibility of bugs as with any Beta, as the new SDK forced me to update several game components, in particular UI may get altered. Please report any such issues in the Support forums, and in the title mention it is about the Beta.
For now this Beta is only released for the free app, "Exiled Kingdoms RPG". After a week or so I'll release a Beta for the premium "Exiled Kingdoms Full" app.
EDIT: you can become a Beta Tester here.
- Technical update targeting the latest Android 13 SDK, to guarantee compatibility with modern devices. No new content added.
- Following Android guidelines and recommendations, permission to access external files is no longer needed. If you make a backup, it will be stored in the folder android/data/net.fdgames.ek.android/files. To restore an old backup, place the file there. This folder is deleted if you uninstall the game, so make sure you copy your file to a safe location!
