iPad launch today?

Apr 17, 2013 Growlor link
According to this video's title http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohL70R0ohNQ the iPad launch is supposed to be today? I took a look on my wife's iPad2 and didn't see it in an app store search (it's after 1:00am on April 17th where I live), so maybe it will be at business hours west coast time or is that video title incorrect?

We're currently looking at Noon central-time. So we can keep an eye on the servers.

Awesome, can't wait to see what it'll do for the game.
Since you guys(the developers) are done with the Ipad, what's next on your list?

Great to see publicity, and now I can get some of my friends to try it on their iPads.

Just tried it, Works great. The controls are something you need to get used to but but all in all I'm pretty excited with this version. One remark though, I couldn't find a way to flip the screen 180°. The way it's setup now, it is pretty annoying to hold on an iPad mini with the headphones coming out where your left hand is.

GREAT article ! I hope this really catches on and people play on other formats!

Grats on the release, boys! I will load it up on the family iPad as soon as I can pry it from someone's cold, dead hands.

I'm amused at the iTunes description:

Vendetta Online is a 3D space MMORPG for Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS...
...All users and platforms play within the same galaxy, allowing seamless transition between Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and other platforms.


Not allowed to mention "Android" in the hallowed cyber-halls of Appledom?

[EDIT] PS: time to update the VO homepage to include iOS in the banner!

Heh, I dunno. Nothing strict, but we didn't put it in there. Although honestly a full platform list is getting excessive when you also include OUYA and Kindle Fire (which are kind of discrete from regular Android) along with WinRT and so on.

Yeah, update the front page banner before RaspberryPi and BeagleBone get added to that list too. :P

Meh, wife has an iPad2 or whatever the most recent one is. I'll give this a try tonight.

This is really great news ... got me interested in the game again. I have found I prefer it on the smaller/lighter screen of the Nexus 7, and almost wish I could stick it in my pocket. For those of you running the Android phone version, is the phone screen too small to enjoy the game? I'd love an iPhone port, if the developers think it would be playable at all.

I play on my phone. The touch controls are a bit too small for me, but it works with the slide-out keyboard.
