A8 to Iphone : - 08/17/10 20:40
I think the question have been already said, but i post it for A8 (A9??) :
With the new A8 engine, will it be a plan in future for Iphone support ? Perhaps a separate product ?
Caus Iphone dev games are lot more fast, because also it's not
last shaders or very complex scene that makes game on IPhone.
There are incredibly good games on Iphone like Sparta 2, Predators etc ... more accessible for non artist people and even simple games sells a lot when ideas or the overall package (graphics, gameplay etc ...) are good.
This could bring lot more people using A8 also because making small games is lot more accessible then wanting to make some AAA FPS or RPG !
For example i use A8 personnaly, but i already plan, to use a 3D engine with editors (like Unity Iphone BAsic), to make
some simple and cool 3D game : it's lot more easy than targetting PC game running in 1600*1280 with top graphics indeed. And the distribution, rating of game all that is done automatically by the Apple Store : it's a very big advantage also !
I know A8 is the main time consumming product with all updates, templates and all new stuff that is planned, so
perhaps it's not possible due to that ?
