You'll see the longest available subscription period shrink as their deadline gets closer.

Now it's six months.

I hate to break it to you but I don't think Shuffle iT is getting the licence renewed beyond 2019. A big indication is that the longest subscription you can purchase right now is for 9 months. Prior to the calendar rolling over on January 1st, 2019 the longest you could subscribe was 1 year. You'll see the longest available subscription period shrink as their deadline gets closer.

Having said that, the licence hasn't been yanked so I believe they've fulfilled the minimum obligations in their contract. I think this had to do with releasing the digital expansions (Nocturne & Renaissance) concurrent with the physical release date.

Beyond that, one of the two developers left last year and they never recovered. I believe they are in maintenance mode only. As evidence, here is link to the development priorities in 2017. How many are unfulfilled? These are things that a development shop should have made serious progress on now that it's 2019.

I know Donald X. said that if this version didn't work out he might just pull the plug altogether on digital Dominion but I hope that isn't the case. He just needs a team up to the task.

...The offer stands for anyone replying in this thread in the next 10 days and is...

These 10 days have past now but because I don't want people to feel bad for just missing it and feedback is still coming in I'll keep the thread open for the weekend.

I appreciate that Stef. I've been away for a while. Hopefully my feedback is useful.

I play exclusively against the AI in short bursts. I normally play 3-4 games per session against 2 AI bots. The most important feature I would like is a more challenging AI in several levels.

For gameplay/UI feedback, I think all the buttons to click on (Autoplay Treasures, End Buys) should be in the same area. Even after playing for a year I sometimes catch myself waiting for something and realize I need to click on something in the log. If the game is waiting for you to do something it needs to be more in your face than off to the side in the log.

Here are some features we have on our wishlist; please let me know if you would appreciate/use them:
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Actually not that important for me as I play on computer that is always connected.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
This would be great to simulate different types of opponents. A random feature would be appreciated too.

3. A strong bot.
Yes please. Having the bot pick Estate for Mystic every time gets a bit thin.

4. Options for timed games
Not important for me.

5. Options for undo settings
Not important for me.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Not important for me.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Not important for me.

8. More translations (to what language?)
Not important for me.

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Sure, better animations are... better.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes, I would like to see the bottom card of the split pile more easily.

10. Option to hide the log
Not important for me. I am ok with the log being there and refer to it occasionally.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Not important for me.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Not important for me.

13. Downloadable game logs
Not important for me.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Not important for me.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Not important for me.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not important for me.

Thank you for your hard work over the past year. I look forward to an improving Dominion Online experience.

Today Jay from Rio Grande announced another expansion for Dominion called Nocturne. It's release date is tentatively October 18th, 2017. Are there plans to implement Nocturne into Dominion Online and if so, how long after the physical release can we expect to see it implemented online?

Thanks.

A similar thing just happened to me:
Game#2058068

Turn 14 - Lord Rattington
L plays a Sauna.
L draws a card.
L plays a Sauna.
L draws a card.
L plays a Copper and a Silver.
L trashes 2 Provinces.
L buys and gains a Silver.
L draws 5 cards.

Whoops, pretty much insta-loss.
