You would think Apple could support device-specific content so that the same app would only download the extra art if your device would use it. I wonder if you could make the high-resolution art be IAP. What's the lowest price Apple will let you charge for IAP?
Hahahaha.. noted! 99 cents, I think? Not sure if people would take to such a system, don't think it's been done before.
Fragger has free downloadable content including retina graphics In part for storage size considerations so it's been done before.m the initial download doesn't include retina Hugh resolution but if you're interested it's a free download. Same for some advanced level packs. Not that I care with my iPod 3G, just get Ravenmark out soon.
Alright, we'll do a bit of research when we go into building the iPad version. Cheers for the head's up. Also, Ravenmark is slated to release on 11.11.11.
700mb wouldn't be preferential, but for a high quality game that's universal it wouldn't be to bad. Maybe you guys should look into how Sunfish Studiowas able to condense Galaxy Space Pirate from 700mb to 232mb. The made a comment about it, but I'll have to look for it later.
Cheers! We'll be posting more previews along the way. =) Ahh, thanks for the suggestion. I looked it up and I think they managed to do it because it's a 3D engine, so they can compress most of the textures. Ravenmark uses old school drawn images for everything and lowering them would really hit the quality. We'll keep looking for solutions! Sorry dude! Soon, k!
Just a quick update for everyone: Ravenmark has been submitted to Apple for approval. So you guys should be seeing it soon. =)
Well, I was one of the lucky ones that got to test out Ravenmark (YAY, my name will be in the credits!!!), and the game is pretty awesome. Check out: http://t.co/STYXAx5S
Some of you were asking about an iPad version.. While Ravenmark isn't a universal app at launch, I think you can play it quite comfortably on the iPad. Here are some screenshots so you have an idea of what it'll be like.
well, it looks ugly in the ipad as it is now, but playable indeed. Any idea of when the universal update will be ready?
