Woohoo! Greatly looking forward to it! 
Sounds like I need to get a iPad or Android tablet in spring of 2014.
Coincidentally, I'm planning an Android tablet purchase very soon - been waiting for the new Nexus 7 to come out so I can get the older version for cheap. ;)
So yeah. Yay!
While we're working on the real digital version of Sentinels, we haven't forgotten about Sidekick!
We're happy to announce that Sentinels Sidekick 2.0 will be available this week, and is now an officially licensed “Sentinels of the Multiverse” Product. The most important new feature is that Sidekick now has official game artwork throughout!
Check out all the information here: http://handelabra.com/blog/2013/8/5/sentinels-sidekick-20-is-coming-to-gencon
And because we love you, here's a GTG Forum exclusive screenshot! The setup might look familiar to some forum readers =)
WOW! Thats all I have to say.
Lookin' good
Very nice
Woohoo! Looking great!
Are the minions/smaller targets going to get art too, or just the heroes and villains and evironment?
In the 2.0 update, only the "character" minions (Ennead and Operative) have their own artwork.
We're gauging interest on adding artwork for all of the target cards in the game. So if you would be interested in that, let us know =)
Love to hear about the update, looking forward to it.
Watching the video, I immediately got a bad taste in my mouth about the "notes" feature. Sure, it's infinitely flexible, but typing on an i-device is a bit painful sometimes. Fortunately, immediately after the bad taste, I got a good idea. While putting in buttons for every possible effect and interaction is a bit rediculous, a versatile solution would be to have buttons for "verbs", and you can build sentences easily.
Something like this - you hit a button "Notes" next to a character or card. Up pops some options "Damage Dealt", "Damage Received", "Start of turn, End of turn". Choose Damage Received, and you've got new choices - "+1", "-1", "Irreducible", "Redirected", "Immune". Choose one of these, and you've now got some new options - "Damage type: Fire", etc.
It wouldn't take that much testing to fill out your verb list and be able to formulate pretty much any relevant note you might want with just a few taps. You could of course leave a free-text entry option for edge cases or any other potential issue. A slick GUI for this would make it pretty nice to use
yes please!! I love the idea of swiftbot, etc having art on them.
VERY interested!!
just letting you know.
ax0r: I realize the notes are a bit limited. However, it was a very quick thing to implement and has some usefulness if you use shorthand. We've actually done some design work around adding effect tracking to the app, but the amount of effort needed to build a great user experience and robust plumbing for it is significant.
When you're running a company, you have to make decisions about cost/benefit, and so far it hasn't been the right decision to build that feature. If more people buy Sidekick, that would probably change!
Also we posted a quick update on pricing information for Sentinels Sidekick 2.0. Most importantly, it's a free update, not a new app that you have to pay for again!

Updated this morning. My iPhone screen does no justice. This is great. The artwork has really put this app on a new level.
The only thing that I would say is, the artwork in the app is so good, we are gonna need it for all the cards. I had a free update, but I would most certainly pay a bundled cost for the high res pics and art for the other minor cards.
Fantastic update. Great app. Love it.
A quick feedback on notes.
It is possible to show some icon to signify which character/target has "notes" underneath them?
Good idea, tommy.yeoh. We'll see if we can get something like that into an update soon.

Looks wonderful! You can add me to the "I'd love art for all targets" camp. :)
Just a quick bit of feedback though, I don't see art for The Matriarch. All the other villains look awesome, but she's all plain and texty. :(
