lack of new games-and boring times ahead for spv programing?

[Guest kingdom master]

seeing things like ridge racer etc..

why cant we have ports of this and other games.

the spv games and software market has got boring i dont think anyone can question this.

how bout a starwars style game

ridge racer

some more emulators

a sims game maybe sim city etc...

[Guest midnight]

ever thought its quiet cos people are working on new games :lol:

[Guest midnight]

and to answer a couple of your questions, why cant we have a port of ridge racer? simple, its by namco, there is no way they'll allow anyone the license.

emulators? why? its no challenge for games programmers, emulators are usually made by application programmers.#

the simple fact is, the smartphone platform is still relatively young, you are saying its over before its even begun. There currently are no big players interested in the Smartphone market, because its small, the user base is tiny compared to the likes of Java, and so far MS has admitted targetting of the 'business' market, and from there they will move on to mass market. And even Orange themselves released a phone with a 4-way joystick, so even they think that the MS Smartphone is business user device (they are incorrect of course, because even business men play games :lol:) its one of those things, sorry to be blunt, but give it time, it'll happen.

And shameless plug.... 2 games from us will be released within the next 2-3 months.

[Guest kingdom master]

TRUE, :-) can we atleast have some previews of these games in this threads. or thoughts on games that can be ported or used.

[Guest midnight]

i will be showing off some new Kumite screenshots in the next couple of weeks if that helps, and who knows, maybe even screenshots of the other game we are working on (hush hush, top secret at the moment hehe) :lol:

but yes, i agree, lets see screenies of other new games that are in development, lets get the smartphone gaming excitement level back up again :D

[Guest kingdom master]

well, why not a port of ridge racer but under different name;-) think of the relentless tetris clones, hee hee.

emulators are worth it atleast there is a official snes emul coming soon,.

[Guest kingdom master]

how kumite goner work with the e200 controls? lack of direction.

[Guest midnight]

well put it this way, they have seriously hindered Kumite, the natural control method is the joystick, so we are gonna have several preset control methods + full key redefine (as will all our games so that the games work on all devices)

[Guest unclelimey]

(hush hush, top secret at the moment hehe) :lol:

oooh secret game .... YAWN already

if you dont wanna say what it is, then dont say you are making something... :roll: its quite simple really

[Guest midnight]

ok, fine, we wont then, we wont tell anyone when they can approximately see games from us, i'm happy with that, oh and for the record......... kingdom master asked i replied, its the silence that he was referring to, no-one knows if any new games are being made, but if people prefer us to not even mention if any new games are being made we can do that.

[Guest kingdom master]

YEH leave it out man, i asked for his reply.

look forward to seeing the game, really hope we also get some good racing games, and a sims game would be great. i really look foward to some more emuls though other formats have em. and they are fun.

thanks for your reply mid.

[Guest Coucou]

If you need any Beta testing Mid, I'm always up for it :lol:

[Guest unclelimey]

sorry, i just dont really understand the secrecy surrounding your games, afetr all , they are only games

i mean, when AIM productions are making new games, they tell everyone and put screenshots up on their site.... why cant everyone be the same.. they even have a "coming soon" section

and when you say that you have new games coming soon, you usually say " cant say what they are right now.. hehe " its the hehe that annoys me, its like you think its cool to "have one over us" by knowing something we dont

i didnt mean to upset you.. i just dont see why you cant say what the games are

[Guest Brody]

unclelimey hates not knowing what he's getting for Christmas/Birthday presents i'll bet :lol:

[Guest ultimasnake]

unclelimey you shouldn't cry about it man

i mean do you really think "AIM productions" and the rest of those production things really release an screenshot the first second they start an game? it takes time to develop one and you can't release any info / screenshots till you are certain an product will stay the way it is now......

if you release screenshots to early and change the entire look and feel of a game people might get disapointed and all....

I released my game (highspeed) alpha/beta a while ago , it's only for windows mobile 2003 phones and people just kept whyning about it not working on the e100 etc etc, i reget the fact i released it just yet because i had about 40 PM'S considering this. And my next game (release tonight)was developed in pure silence because of that reason , so i agree with midnight not telling anything about it besides the fact something is comming........

(there that took alot of my mind)

[Guest beersoft]

lets think about this

unless your adam osbourne you don't announce your next product untill its due out and sales of your old product have dropped off or your product is ready to ship (duke nuk'em 4ever anyone?).

and i aggree with midnight on this one, if he told everyone what he's working on we would have 100's of threads asking when its out and can we beta test it. which when your trying to get a game out of the door, you don't need.

and the rumors i've heard about the 'other' game, ohh thats going to kick some butt.

i suppose its easier to release cheap and nasty java style games every week or so.

but thats not our style.

later

[Guest midnight]

i didnt mean to upset you.. i just dont see why you cant say what the games are

thats quite simple, we released info about Kumite now are getting flak/called liars/even people saying its vapourware and doesnt exist, we ARE NOT going to make that mistake again. Kumite is delayed, we told people its been delayed, it was out of our control, we didnt want to delay it but had no choice, I know people are upset it isnt available yet, but who do you think is most upset, the gamesplayers? or us, the people developing the game who make a living from making and selling games?

If we released info about this other game we'd get twice the hassles, something we dont need.

[Guest unclelimey]

brody... you are right, i hate suprises :lol:

reading back on my post, it sounds a bit hostile... i didnt mean to sound that bad, anyway... seeing as i upset you, i will backtrack and say im looking forward to these new games and of course will splash the cash when they are finally released

Posted from my SmartPhone!

[Guest ultimasnake]

yeah you sounded a bit (read:allot) hostile... but ok i accept your apologie (since i am a developer too :D)....

but patience is the hardest thing to have .. but that's live :lol:

[Guest Scarfman007]

And my next game (release tonight)was developed in pure silence because of that reason , so i agree with midnight not telling anything about it besides the fact something is comming........

I'll hold you to that :lol: :wink: !
