Going into iPhone / iPod Touch games & Xbox Live Arcade
 by lucbernard on 05.08.2008      23 comments




Yep

We are currently going to start on iPhone/iPod Touch games, and kind of not do any DS games.

I had my DS programmer tell me a couple weeks ago that he would be porting his engine to iPhone and well things are going really well. I looked up the market, and since it's going to be iTunes I will be able to offer games for cheap.


So well right now I'm hesitating between doing this strategy game or this platformer controlled via the touch screen.

My programmer advised me to do casual games on iPod, but well I'm thinking otherwise, I mean why do casual games on a machine that is going to be FULL of casual games (that's kind of like the Wii, too many casual games on it)

I'm going to be honest, now why have I decided to do iPod games? I just saw some money in them







Now all of sudden, I don't know why I've become interested in the Xbox 360, oki the Wii is fun (well not if you're not playing a proper game on it), but it's just well I've got to be honest, Xbox Live is the best online service out.

Ok now let me admit this, I would really want to do a game on Xbox Live Arcade, but one that is focused on co operative multiplayer.

But there is a funny problem though lol, my contacts at XBLA well have apparently changed jobs since their email doesn't work anymore lol. So shit, I can't even submit a game lol.



This does not concern Eternity's Child or any other games that you have seen that have been shown, it's new IP's

Christ man, will you ever stay in one place for more than three seconds?

I mean, with you constantly moving around it's really hard to get this crosshair directly on your forehead, have some consideration!

Wait, so you aren't releasing your game on DS and haven't released a game? You were making your game for XBLA and then move it to WiiWare cause size limits and were happy. Now back to XBLA cause that is where "proper" games go...what the heck? Release a game? Do it, I dare you.

Also, for christ sakes man, if you keep jumping around platforms your programmer is going to kill you.

I guess it's nice to have a developer diary of sorts, but damn... is this why games take forever to actually see the light of day?

The more you jump systems the more your finished product will suck, and the more time it will take.

At least that's how I see it.

If George Zimmer were here, he'd guarantee it.

Eternity's Child is still wiiware


This is just for 2 DS games that I've pitched for DS that didn't get taken, so instead just going to do them and release them on iphone

I'm not converting Eternity's Child to any other platform apart from Wiiware and maybe a PC version

XBLA + Layed = XBLAyed

man, you better have some ideas that don't revolve around using traditional controls, the touch input sucks.

I would give you pug if you release eternity's child on the pc. As I have no wii. It would be the only game I would get to play of yours ! Yep. No Iphone. No Xbox 360. No ds.

So you're thinking the holocaust game for iPhone since that was one of the DS titles you had talked about? I'd like to see how people could use the iPhone control wise for things beyond total casual games.

I guess Sega claims Sonic the Hedgehog can be controlled just fine with the iPod Click wheel, but I don't believe them.
lucbernard's Destructoid Blog
holocaust game if you check the web, it's not moved to Wii



actually you can do hardcore gamer games on iphone, the DS has some games that are stylus only, however I'm designing this platformer that is only touch screen but should be pretty simple and easy to play
