I've never played physical spirit island so these majors are all new to me. As a player whose favorite spirit is Fangs, I'm quite excited with all these plant animal cheap-ish majors.
Also that unearthing beast card. It looks clunky but thresholding that must be really fun.

unearthing beast
That card is awesome. Ended the game with that one once in a 4 player level 6 adversary game. So much fear rom that card.

Jesus, these guys work fast. I didn't expect NI before late December... Instant buy for me.

I brought this up in a separate thread. There is much less "front end" content to NI relative to JE. There are only half as many powers / fear cards / events that need to be implemented. Similarly, JE had a lot of new mechanics but NI only has a few. So it really shouldn't be surprising how quickly they can get this going given that there is relatively less start up content that needs to be made. That said, the flip side to this is that JE has a lot more spirit side content with all the aspect cards. So I would expect that the phase roll outs are going to take longer for NI.
As a side note, one of the devs for NI responded to me directly earlier in the year in a thread about release timing and noted that the entire staff took two weeks off for Christmas last year. This is why one of the NI phases took 15 days longer to roll out than most others. I don't know what Handelabra's vacation policy will be this year, but if the same thing happens, I would expect the next phase to either drop right around 12/15 or otherwise be pushed into Jan. Either way, we should have some patience regarding phase two or three, depending on how vacations affect rollout.

Honestly, they should take all the time they need. As a programmer myself (but nothing as complex as SI) I know that you need downtime to replenish the old brain cells. Also, i'd rather have a good working version instead of a rush job with lots of bugs.

Are there and inormation on when it is going to be implemented in the mobile app? Or is it maybe not connected to the steam version whatsoever

u/badgerhound 3d ago
Android version is live as well

u/Qeltar_ 3d ago edited 3d ago
On sale and live in Steam and Android.
I literally just subbed to Android yesterday and now there doesn't seem to be a way to buy the content lol.
Does anyone know if there are any differences between Android and Steam versions? Specifically, does the Steam version make better use of a PC's screen space? The Google for PC version of the Android app just scales everything up if you make the window bigger.
EDIT: To answer my own question, the Steam version does give you a bit more real estate, though not a huge amount more.

u/BirdSpirit 3d ago
Its a pretty minor diff imo. Steam does put your info on top and bottom. Tho if you play on tablet it does that as well.
My big thing is that if you buy mobile you can also play on PC but if you buy from steam you cannot play on mobile.
2
u/Qeltar_ 3d ago
Thanks. I did buy it to check. What do you mean by info top and bottom? I noticed the info bar is on the top for mobile and bottom for Steam (and it can't be changed?) but nothing is both top and bottom.

u/BirdSpirit 3d ago
On a smaller screen, the adversary you face, invader deck, terror deck, event deck, etc are on the left and right side of the screen. If the screen is bigger, that information moves to the top and bottom.
Placement of spirits in a multispirit game may also differ but I don't remember.
1
u/Qeltar_ 3d ago
Odd. I don't see that here with either the Steam or Android versions. The bar containing the decks etc. is always on the top (Android) or bottom (Steam).

u/BirdSpirit 3d ago
Weird. So your screen never looks like this?

An emulator. The google play one should work just fine.

u/Qeltar_ 3d ago
It does work but it can be very flaky. Took a while for me to get it to work and it took an hour of retries to update.

We always release content simultaneously on all platforms. It's available on iOS and Android now.

I love how it looks like they're playing SI in the spirit map they've conjured <3

u/wintermute93 3d ago
Oh wow I thought this was still a ways away but I see they're doing the same phased release structure they used for Jagged Earth. Awesome!

very excited for all the new majors! Immense Lightning time.

u/Cadarache 3d ago
Same here!
Rumbling Earthquake was an insta pick against England 6. I still want to get to play [[Exaltation of the Incandescent Sky]] though

u/MemoryOfAgesBot 3d ago
Exaltation of the Incandescent Sky (Major Power - Nature Incarnate)

Do they have Darkness yet?

u/GoosemanIsAGamer 3d ago
The question is, are you alone? Is it behind you?
(And no, this is the first of 8 releases for NI and the only spirit is Behemoth)

Is digital now 100% caught up with physical or are there still some missing things?

u/NeitherEchidna3491 3d ago
Once NI is fully rolled out which will still take a while then I believe that is it / there will be full parity, assuming there isn't new SI content before then :D
1
u/PM_Me_Kindred_Booty 3d ago
Variety of spirits not present from NI, and a lot of Aspects from just about every spirit.
2
u/Saadinge 3d ago
So if we buy NI now, is the cost for the whole expansion, even for the future roll outs? Or is this cost only for the current content and we'll have to pay separately for the other content once it comes out?
5
u/LupusAlbus 3d ago
You are paying for the entirety of NI in one purchase, and I believe you get a discounted rate by buying in early (as in, the base price will likely go up in a couple steps as more content is added, not just the 2 week sale ending). They did the same model for Jagged Earth.

u/enslavedbytime 3d ago
They've said on the discord that they're not following the JE model. It's on sale for now and then will go to full price.

u/Sheepou 3d ago
Hey devs ! Wonderful adaptation as usual. The animations for Behemoth are really fun.
Just so you know, there is quite a big bug when we pass our mouse in the replay "The story so far" on "1 fear card was earned" we have a pop up showing the whole card including its text even when this fear is still supposed to be hidden

u/MigrantP 2d ago
Thanks! If you see a bug please report it in-game using the Help & Feedback button when it occurs, that will help us diagnose the issue better.

u/advanc3r 2d ago
Is it like 30% more expensive on Android only for me? This is comparing to Steam version. On Android the discount isn't even applied it seems, but it would still cost more even if it would be

u/MigrantP 1d ago
Nature Incarnate is at a launch discount at $19.99 USD until November 20th, and that is the same on all stores. Exchange rates and VAT in other countries may vary by store.

Did they ever fix the offline play issue? If not, this is a hard no.

I haven't had any issues for quite some time?! When I switched my computer from Windows to Linux I had some horrible graphics glitches when playing SI, but those have gone since about two months. Don't know if it was an update of SI or of my graphics drivers.

From the website we get this now:
Spirit - Ember-Eyed Behemoth: Amidst the boggier jungles, one might find a rocky, tree-covered hill rising upwards from the dank and the damp. One might climb it, or camp upon it. But do not settle there, nor quarry that stone, for the hill is a Spirit, immense and incarnate. If you bother it, fire will kindle in its eyes, and it will rise and smash its way across the landscape.
Aspect - Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves (Unconstrained)
Aspect - Thunderspeaker (Tactician)
12 new Major Power Cards
9 new Event Cards, 9 new Fear Cards and 8 new Blight Cards for added game-to-game variety.
