Hi, TAers! Thanks to you guys, ZENONIA:Classic Action RPG is still sailing smoothly. And as you might know, we have a schedule to launch another iPhone game "HYBRID" from makers of ZENONIA in this fall. Getting right to the point, We GAMEVIL has developed new idea for you to enjoy our games not just in your iPhone/iPod but PC too. We couldn't name this new game platform yet, but you guys might give us a decent name hopefully We'd like you to try this and give us your thought or any idea to help us to make it better at [email protected] or reply your idea in this thread. We will catch you up with iTunes Gift Cards in our huge bag. (Oh, I forgot "Brand Name". If you have a name, let us know) Thank you guys! Platforms: Windows 95, 98, ME, XP and Vistar. EDIT: MAC guys, forgive us. need some more time to build.
my first platform name ideas: GameCom (for Gaming on the Computer) GameDesk (for Gaming on a Desktop) GamePoint
I believe its a virtualization program that runs on your desktop and emulates a device similar to the iphone.
How about iWin (sorry, couldn't resist ) Sounds intriguing. I will definitely be downloading this and giving it a shot over the weekend.
iPC (your iPod touch/iPhone games on your PC) iGames PCPod GamePod GamevilPhone iGamevilPhone or iGamevil Gamevil Desktop iGamevil Desktop GamevilPod iGamevilPod or GED iGED GEP iGEP
Me too @gamevil_TA are you using just the iPhone sdk or the one for both Mac & iPhone ? It should not be that difficult to make a mac version, should it ?
Well the idea is interesting and it's pretty cool so far. hope you get a mac version out too though cause i plan on getting one soon.
@ PeterM11 You'll soon have pickd the best breed of computers... ever Duh! I don't know how to quote someone's post if I forget to check the box down there.. Help me
Just briefly played it (don't want to get in trouble), and I must say it actually looks pretty good in windowed mode - of course, I only have a 19" monitor. Anyway, one suggestion off the bat would be to put a minimize option for when it's in windowed mode.
Suggestions: 1) Make it possible to sync saved games with iPhone (and vice versa.) 2) Get that mac version ready ASAP. 3) Call it "iT's More Fun To Compute." Actually, don't: only about 2 people (give or take) would get the reference and find it funny.
impressions: I think this is great idea, well not every iPhone game is suitable for this kind of "conversion", but for epic RPG it will do! While I was using this software I didnt find any glitch, I only had problems that icons/screenshot/text werent instantly shown when I started GAMEVIL (not the game itself!). As for game, everything was smooth. Suggestions: 1.) I think somebody already mentioned it, but it would be nice add there little icon to minimize Gamevil application 2.) You are trying it to look like iPhone/Ipod touch, but what about option to resize it? At this moment, there are only two options, fixed and full screen, but I think it would be nice if we could resize GAMEVILphone 3.) Make screenshots/videos into application itself - if you click on screenshots/video icon, it will show the content in application window (gamevil will go into same position as it is when you are playing game, but there will be screenshot gallery/trailer instead) 4.) Add HELP section into main application. Ok, there is HELP section in main menu of game, but it is little bit hard to read. It will be much more well arranged/more easy to read in main app with normal font. So basicaly there would be HELP icon next to mail icon, and if you click on it, help will show in main application instead of overview text I guess thats all. As for controls or game itself I have no suggestions at this time, basically there isnt anything to change. So it is only about main application (or launcher) or how to call it, to tweak it a little One last thing - I agree with starjimstar that it would be great to be able to sync saved games with iPhone version, but I am not sure if it is possible. JCik68 out P.S. as for suggestions for "how to call it", there are on page 1
