This tutorial will run you through the basics of the game Traveler’s Quest by Kitty Code, available for the iPhone and iPad. It covers the same material as the in game tutorial but with a few more details to help you walk through the steps.

Avoid the gallows!
“Avoid the gallows! Fair gameplay is one of Kitty Code’s top priorities! Any users found participating in any malicious, offensive or cheating behaviors will be permanently suspended from Traveler’s Quest”
Here at TQ we play by the rules. If you find a way to cheat, we will happily ban you from the game – automatically no less. Our players appreciate this part of our process, even if our newer players do not… We warn our players with this notice as they walk through the tutorial, and accept our terms… If you use a jailbroken phone, best to make sure those extra features which will get you banned are turned off. This includes backgrounder, IAP Cracker, and other nefarious apps which would allow you to cheat the system. It is a slap in the face to every other player for [quite] a few bad apples to decide they are above the rules…
You have been warned.
Optimizations!
This week has been a little rough around the edges. Well, not the whole week, but Wednesday was definitely a bummer for most! First of all, we have had a HUGE influx of new players thanks to our Free App A Day (#FAAD) promotion which we ran on Wednesday. The unfortunate part of this promotion was that it showed that our servers needed to be optimized – and quickly! The sheer number of new players brought our servers to their proverbial knees, and gave many new players a very bad first glimpse of our great game. Some players have said that this is the price of success – and while I whole heartedly agree, it’s still unacceptable, much like Twitter’s “Fail Whale”, which we still find happens, but not nearly as often as in the beginning, when everyone was jumping on board.
We spent a LOT of time optimizing things on Wednesday, and when many of you came into the game on Thursday, things were not only back to normal, but faster than they have been in quite some time! The game just feels snappier – because it is!
For our long time players who have such confidence in our abilities as a team, we would like to thank you VERY much! For our new players that have stuck it out, and tried again, we would also like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to re-prove ourselves. We know that a bad first impression is very hard to overcome, but we are confident that you will see past the error of our ways, and come to enjoy our game.
Happy Treasure Hunting!
The very small, and very tired TQ Team 😀
