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.
