I have a bad case of The Wants.

Hey guys, Justin here from War Balloon (makers of Star Command).

You most assuredly CAN christen your ship name. Perhaps you can append it with Roman Numerals if/when you lose them in battle.

While Game Dev Story was a fantastic game- our title is more following Sim-City, Civ and X-com with dabbles of GDS in it.

We are still experimenting with the granularity to which you need to maintain your ships systems- it is a balancing act with the broader goals of the game being missions and exploring and such - the ratio of how you spend your time that is.

Any other questions or anything like that - happy to answer. I saw one earlier for price point. 2.99-3.99

Something like that.

Hey Justin,

Will the game be universal or have an iPad version? I have an iphone 4 if it's ipod/iphone only but a game like this would greatly benefit from more screen estate. It would be an instant buy for me if there is an ipad version. Besides, games like this is sorely lacking for iPads.

My biggest gripe with GDS and HSS is they don't have native iPad support!!

Ill answer for Justin,

Were going to design an original version for iPad, not just a universal. We agree with you - the iPad is perfect for this game. We also hate lame ports, so we will look at the device and make changes to build it to take advantage of the real estate and processing power.

Awesome!

Would the iPad version be released simultaneouly or will it be released after the iphone/itouch version?
