2940

First post! I am a backer of Suburbia Collectors Edition on Kickstarter, and received an e-mail overnight that indicates the app is free for a limited time. Currently $10.99 on Google Play Store.

Looks like Android users can get a free copy of the App from 11am today to 11am tomorrow, and Apple users right now till midnight tonight!

Google Play -Available until 11am 18/2/19 AEDT

Apple iTunes - Expired

The e-mail is below.


"Hello!

As a backer of Suburbia Collector’s Edition, you will receive the opportunity to get the Suburbia app for FREE tomorrow, February 17th! This app is compatible with all smart phones and tablets :)

To download - simply type Suburbia into your search bar in your App Store and an app with a blue skyline and hex tile logo should appear that reads Suburbia City Building Board Game. It usually appears at $6.99 but when the time frame for download hits, it will say it is free/$0.

ANDROID USERS:
The app will be open to download at no cost from 12am GMT tonight to 12am GMT tomorrow.

APPLE USERS:
The free app time period will differ according to your time zone region! Look up your times in advance to make sure you do not miss it!
Let’s take an example. The app is set for free for February 17th - The price will change at midnight (12:00:00 AM) February 17th to $0, then change back to the original price at 11:59:59 PM on February 17th.
Stay with me here… that means If you live in the US in the EST zone, that price will be in place from 3AM February 17th until 3AM February 18th.
If you live in Spain or most of Europe, that price is good or February 17th from 12AM until 12AM February 17th because most of Europe is in the CET zone. Portugal, UK and Ireland are one hour later.
If you live in Australia (with three time zones), that price is good for February 17th from 12AM until 12AM February 17th. IF you live in the WST zone, the price change occurs at 2AM February 17th through 2AM February 18th.

If you need further clarification, this is an article explaining it to app creators -

The app is currently based off the original Suburbia, but thanks to this amazing campaign, will be getting a radical Collector’s Edition makeover later this year! In the meantime, practice building out your boroughs while you anxiously await your physical game’s arrival this Fall!

Free app day is ONLY ONE DAY. Download on February 17th, as this is your only chance to receive this reward. Thank you all again for making these fabulous stretch goals possible, we are thrilled to be able to provide this to our fans!"

      This is in the first few lines of the post

      • The e-mail says "The app will be open to download at no cost from 12am GMT tonight to 12am GMT tomorrow.", for Android users. I believe that's 11am today to 11am tomorrow AEST.

        • AEDT?

          BNE is GMT+10.

    Ha, still waking up I guess….I was reading it as 12am not 11am. Thanks!

  • I guess if you are familiar with the Homestuck series, you will wince at the name of the app

  • So what is it about? (Or what is it similar too?)

  • Beat me too it.. thank you

  • Thanks OP, although it looks as though the game hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Is there anything in the pipeline?

    • +1

      Reading the Kickstarter through which this became free…yes

      At least a redesigned artwork update is expected. Hopefully an update for other bugs is part of that

      • Thanks mate : )

        • +1

          They are updating it to include nightlife expansion later in the year as one of the Kickstarter stretch goals that was met.

  • +1

    Don’t know anything about it but hey it’s free, so downloaded.

  • +4

    not great reviews 1-3 stars

    • +2

      Hopefully will improve when they update later in the year, but at least it's free!

    First post!

    Nice to see someone announcing that they're here. Many first posters get all apologetic about being in the room.

    • +2

      Thank you mate. Been using this site for years, and it was about time I post something!

  • Thanks, I was somewhat interested in the physical board game so this will help me decide.

  • Legend!

  • Has not been updated in 2 years and poor reviews. Free is good I guess, so I will try it out

    • And there's an update planned for later this year to include the nightlife expansion, so hopefully they fix up the bugs then!

      It's not remotely intuitive. No tutorial either. Yeah, it's free, no adds either. But… It's a bit crappy looking, and it looks like you've got to watch a YouTube tutorial to have any idea what it is you are supposed to be doing.

      • +1

        There is a tutorial under help, you play through a few turns under guidance.

  • Thanks op. I was thinking about backing the kickstarter too but it was too expensive.

  • 180 votes … wow … The board game might be great … but not impressed by the App. Can't read a thing in the app … #needglasses
    But free is free … thanks!

    • I'm as shocked as you. Thanks for the upvotes all. Hopefully the app will improve when the expansion update is released. Can't really complain about getting an $11 app for free which will hopefully improve!

  • OP, do you know whether this game is similar to SimCity?

    • Well, same sort of theme, but completely different games. Suburbia is a board game where you try to beat your opponents, while SimCity is an actual PC/console game.

  • +1

    Okay.. i installed it.. now what do I do?
    How do I shoot someone or throw a grenade?
    In all seriousness, it's not intuitive at all.

    • Usually a good idea to read instructions, especially when it's a board game. Board Game apps don't tend to be intuitive in my experience.

    • You go into help and play the tutorial

  • +5

    Installed and then deleted, thanks.

  • Looks like it’s been abandoned with lots of complaints in the last year but no updates in over 2 years?

    Sounds like very unresponsive developers….free is great but if you were a user who paid $10 for it you’d be upset they put out the game and ignored it for so long

    • As mentioned earlier, there is an update planned for later this year to include the nightlife expansion, promised in their kickstarter, so hopefully they fix up the bugs then!

      • +1

        Still not a great developer if they let those other reviews languish for over a year without addressing them

  • Well just download it now and check back later when their kickstarter boardgame project is underway which includes updating the app.

    I for one am so happy to get his for free to help me practice how to play the actually boardgame when it arrives later on in the year!

  • Damn it, checked my emails 20 mins too late.

    • Indeed. Thank you to everyone for the votes! For a first time deal poster, that must be a record votes for first post, if not close to it!
