Hi Everyone,

If you guys haven't noticed, this game is completely copied from the game, Battle of Youstrass. The plot, the characters (In Battle of Youstrass (BoY), the female rescued from the village’s name is Tia and in this game the name is Tiana, the knight in BoY is Ryuke, and in here it’s Luke, their two friends in BoY which are Seara and Hubein while in this game their names are Sarah and Harvein, and etc…), the names of the mechs (Really? Huben Draknir? The original BoY game is Huben Drake, a mech in BoY called Debiker in this game is called Devikher, and another mech in BoY named Tienark used by the Tia/the girl rescued form the village is called Tianerx in this game), even their combat system, like the attack moves and the “Will” system with abilities are literally the same but just with slight different name (For example, Tianerx has a move called Lightning Vortex which greatly resembles the move Lightning Ball used by Tienark in BoY). This game is either a remake by the original makers of BoY, Team Darkland or a complete ripoff, copying EXACTLY the game Battle of the Youstrass. Here is the website of Battle of the Youstrass, try it if you don’t believe me.

Dear Billybob.

First of all, let us begin by thanking you. Thank you for remembering, or at least, noticing us.

iQubi inc. is founded by the key memebers of old Team Darkland. This game, "The War of Eustrath", is the refined remake of OUR OLD work, "Battle of Youstrass". And we do legally own all the rights of the game.

The game itself came out ten years ago, tried download sales, and sold very little amount. It was a sad experience for us, and always wanted to do something about the work. To be honest, we did not expect someone to remember our old version. And when we got chance this time, we worked hard and long to bring the game back to life.

We did all the art works and most of the graphics again, refined names, balanced battles, reprogrammed, and came up with a whole new UI. We also refined the scenario. (We know the English is still not very good, but if you look at the old one you will know we did try, at least =))

Also, on the offical HP of Team Darkland, we did announce that we were working on the iPhone(iPod)/iPad version.

And officially mentioned our iPad version release on the forum.

Once again, thank you for remembering us. And we hope we resolved all your doubts.

Haha, I had no idea. I really enjoyed playing Battle of the Youstrass back then. I thought it was a incredible game that received too little attention. I'm really glad that you are doing really good with this one. I heard that the game reviews are pretty good :)

At first, I thought that another company took your game idea and I thought to myself, the game Battle of the Youtrass was so amazing that it was a horrible thing to do for another compnay to steal it. It was not fair, and I wanted to tell everyone that this company stole your ideas. Turns out it was you guys, and it was a huge relieve. As you said before, you guys mentioned that you were working on an iPod touch/iPhone of BoY, and I knew that. I considered that at the beginning, but I thought you guys continued as "Team Darkland" and not "iqubi". Anyways, congratulations on creating an iPod touch/iPhone/iPad version of BoY.

Battle of the Youstrass is actually one of my favorite games to play. I thought that the dialogues were good, story was good, and I especially liked the combat system. It was a unique game that was worth buying and playing. I was disappointed that the game was not able to become well-known as it should have been.

I played the iPod touch version of BoY on my friend's iPod, and it was great. Everyone was good except the dialogues were a bit cheesy sometimes. But I know you guys did your best. I liked the old BoY dialogues, as it made more sense :) When I first got my iPod touch one of the games I wanted to put in my iPod was BoY, and I tried searching throughout the internet, but I couldn't find anything. I was excited when on your website you announced that you are making an iPod touch version of it.

Great job working on this, and I hope the original Team Darkland find success in the future. I will always be a fan of your games :D

By the way, which of the 2 devas you guys preferred while making BoY? Erion or Miri?
