Finally! Update released -- quick synopsis [just a few minor changes :P]
I think we hit the full list of items folks were looking for and then a few extra. The highlights version is:
+ up to 200 dice per dice bed (device dependent though)
+ re-roll dice of a specified value, such as 1's.
+ expanded compatibility so any i-device which can run 8.1 can run the app -- mileage will vary.
+ stubs are in place now for IAP and faction content.
+ massive overhaul to the selection system so you can do things with 200 little cubes.
Keep letting us know what you want to see next and we'll get it moving!
From the app-store update page:
- Add up to 200 dice per dice pane on newer generation devices!
(NOTE: Older generation devices have lower dice caps per pane; new setting allows these devices to disable this limit)
