A new minigame – Journeys!

Dear Gauls!

Are you ready to learn more about our big new feature, called “Journeys”?
“Journeys” is a new minigame that will be found in the event pop-up next to “Centurion Punch” and “Race through Italy”.
Go on adventures in Corsica, Britain and Hispania and experience new stories that will feature characters of the Asterix comics.
By completing missions along your journey, you gain country currency and build up a reputation in a country, you’ll be able to use for items and beautifications.
The beautifications will make it possible for you to create a magnificent looking, unique village to your likings!
Journeys will arrive in the game along with the visual building upgrades and the female villager Gardenia in the “Remaster update”. Soon, we will let you know in a separate post when the beta tests for the Remaster update will start.

And one news regarding the troublesome login issues:
The big measure we talked about in our last post is carried! We are optimistic that the measure will prevent login issues of a similar extent to happen again in the future.
Now, our developers are fully concentrating on the creation of solutions to reduce/prevent “refresh errors”, performance issues and crashes. We are very grateful for the helpful feedback we receive from the A&F community. Your reports will be taken into account in the bug fixing process to make sure to fix the bugs first that are most important to the players.

Login issues – Info about the current situation

Dear Gauls!
 
As many of you might know through our older posts and in-game messages, Asterix & Friends have been affected by login issues over the past weeks.
The reasons for the login issues are “attacks” on one of our service providers. Our stored data isn’t in danger.
Since we weren’t able to fix the issue with our measures yet, players will still find it difficult or not possible to log in to the game due to the “504 gateway timeout” or a “refresh” in the loading screen for periods of time (like yesterday, from 7:30 pm – 11:30 pm CEST).
As mentioned in a past post, it’s from the highest priority for us to fix the login issues. All parties involved are working on a next, complex but time-consuming measure that is meant to resolve the login issues permanently.
Again, we hope for your patience and apologize that our first measures weren’t successful. Compensation will be sent when the login issues have finally been resolved.
We stick with our plan to release new game content on the test server and an update for the iOS A&F app soon. We assure you that this work doesn’t steal any time for the team that is working on fixing the login issues or any other important issue that affects players.

We present: Gardenia!

Dear Gauls!

It’s been far too long since we gave you a first look at the new, female villager!
But since we are planning to make all-new game content available on our test server for the A&F community to try out very soon, we have decided to no longer keep the name of Ironix’ wife a secret from you: Gardenia!
With Gardenia, around 60 new and interesting quests will be waiting for you to complete!
Please look forward to welcoming her to your village soon! And stay tuned for the next teaser post that will reveal details on a new feature called “Journeys”!

New Android update available!

Dear Gauls!

We released a new update for the Android version today. This update is the same version that was made accessible via the open beta.
We particularly recommend this update to all players who could no longer play the game after updating the Asterix & Friends Android app (e.g. loading stuck, crashes, the game doesn’t open). The update can also have a positive effect on performance problems (lag/freezing) on other players’ devices.
We ask all players to contact our support team if the update helped to resolve mentioned problems: support@asterix-friends.com
Our development team continues to work on bug fixes and adjustments. Further updates to improve the game will follow for all platforms & as soon as possible.
