– spending 6 months making an iPhone version (in Xcode) that works and spending another 3 months fine-tuning to match the new feel of it To be perfectly honest, I have not ruled it out but it is a trade-off between: To design a game for iPhone that is 90% like DoC is possible, but it is a separate effort altogether as each thing needs to fit in. To be honest that is feasible but would alter the way the game feels: the fight would be mostly melee the exploration would not let you see a dimly glowing volcano in the distance, it would just be in-your-face upclose features in the landscape immediately next to you. Something like a 10×8 fight arena and map view. have a similar visual size of each tileset on screen compared to the iPad, but show less tiles in fight and map view. I did not feel that would work (and if it did cost me 6 months delay to implement).Ģ. the whole pathfinding would be scraped and targeting in combat would be by scrolling through possible selections. have a smaller tileset (or higher density of resolution) and keep the size of the visible area the same –> this leads to it being too small to touch a particular tile. With the above in mind, an iPhone version would eitherġ. iPad, that was a separate decision altogether: I intended to build the game for both, but encountered the following restrictions which would give an iPhone version an ENTIRELY different feel and would mean spending twice as much work on designing user interfaces etc:Ī) I use 32 pixel tiles cause I like them and they are readily available via opensource.ī) I wanted tactical/special combat similar to Ultima 4 and 5, but then thought to be really tactical the arena should be bigger.Ĭ) I use a few features like skills and spells, as well as pathfinding when walking in the map, that requires aimed touch controls. But I come back to that later.Īs to iPhone vs. So when you say ‘universal’ I assume you mean something like what UNITY does: iOS, Android, Windows, OSX etc… unfortunately that is not what the current game is set up to do as it was built in Xcode. That Xcode choice already restricted me to Apple Devices but I was just eager to get started. The framework allowed me everything I wanted to do despite my somewhat limited skills and VERY limited time. It was the attempt I started 18 months ago, with Xcode + Cocos2D + KoboldTouch that yielded success and created the App I have now. Always struggling with the framework (and object oriented programming) at some stage. I am just a hobby programmer and had started with ‘versions’ of this game in Delphi (1990’s), Javascript (~2005) and Flash (~2007). I am responding here as opposed to the forum it was initially raised in because the question may come up a lot. Please please please can we have a universal version ?įirst of all thank you very much for your feedback.
