The menus on the left side are too small and involve scrolling down lists, even on a 7' screen thats a hassle i dont need on a mobile game. I want ease of use, fast and intuitive interfaces that i dont have to fiddle around with. Those pics are not the best example of these issues tho.

i agreed that pictures are not the best eample but dont tell me that they could not redesign text position menus buttons and pictures so they could be visible accessible and all on a 5.5 screen not to mention 7"

Game needs a massive UI redesign to be fun on small screens. It's an amazing game, but its hidden behind a bad port.

Devs need to understand that ports of pc games on mobile devices need to be optimized for big fingers and small screens.

It was never meant to be played on phones, AFAIK. You can limit the apk to install in tablets only, but it's a hassle and may prevent you from getting the odd purchase.

Since I started playing the Android version I've noticed that it's significantly easier than the PC version. I don't think I've lost more than a couple of battles in the course of 6-7 years and enemies don't really ever try to raid my tula that often.

What difficulty setting are you using? I usually play on hard, and the AI seems to hold his ground, and manages to raid on me, ocasionally. In fact, sometimes the AI wins several battles against all odds in a row.

The Android version is easier than PC. I'd dare to say that Hard on Android equals Normal on PC.

Wow, that's some interesting news.

Guess it will be iOS only for the time being, though.
But if I understand it correctly, the Android version might go on sale as well. I'll get it then, sub-par smartphone playing experience or not.

Oh, so. That. :)))

I'm happy it won't be about Orlanthi. Nothing against the guys, but they are a default in Glorantha way too often.

Do you know whether the game is going to be only for smartphones and tablets and not for PC?

Do you know what the game is going to be about then? It's still presumably going to take place exclusively in Genertela?

Can't say I'm not happy about a sequel, but iOS exclusive, again? :rage: Although I'm certain it will eventually be avilable on other platforms as well, well maybe not the PC platform though... :(

Huh, I actually don't know which platforms are being planned. I suppose that'll be in the press release tomorrow. (time to start a PC petition if it's only for mobile devices, guys! I'll sign it. ;))

I know a bit, but it's so early in development that I shouldn't say anything. I'm sure David will explain the structure and context of the game soon.
(it's indeed in very early stages, I'm just now trying to figure out my schedule and I most likely won't start painting till late January)

edit: there's a twitter account also:

And a blog post with not much new info. (other than who else will be working on it. Robin D. Laws you guys!)
