Android

Post by Mandos99 »

I think that Warzone could become an amazingly popular Android (Honeycomb, or tablet version.) game. I know it would probably take an extremely long time to port, (I have no idea, i'm not a programmer.). Since the game relies mostly on the mouse, the controls wouldn't be all that hard, (i think).

Android really needs an amazing strategy game, and I think this could be the one. I heard that Quake 3 was ported... I would recommend a clean up of the campaign, and make it easier to understand, before any release.

Just a thought, I would be happy to do it if I knew how.

Yeah, the people who joined earlier already know the answer :roll:

Anyway. There is some "Qt for android" thing, so if only the game was pure Qt ... :wink:

If only this game was pure anything :P
Why would you even want to play an advanced strategy game on a device that has nothing but a big touchscreen as input (not to speak about screen size)?
@the three first posters: If you were programmers you wouldn't want to do this. It is easier to write a new game from scratch, and the rts genre has never been very successful on anything but the pc, for above mentioned reasons.

I think it would work out.
I bet it would be a top 10 game in the android market!
