About new version and Android port

[zjking]

hi mak,
I can't get new version or update almost two months, if GE have new and big improvement or other plan?
BTW,
when will GE have Android port?

James,Chang

[Leif]

Yes, it's really important now.

I'll be the first one, who will buy iPhone&Android version.

Really, who can evaluate labour inputs or development cost of Android port for GE?

I am working on the Android port. Have a very early prototype. What would it be worth for u per license?

[Leif]

For me- I think 1000 $ per license.
If GE will support all three main platforms - WM 7, IPhone OS , Android - 1500 $

[zjking]

I agree with Leif!
and if GE support symbian OS, i'll pay 2000$ per license.

Well that is a license I can't get

Android and iphone are doable. Windows phone7 will be completely written in NET. NET is very buggy itself , so I think its going to be a problem to develop a port for it . The old windows mobile was windows CE with NET as a framework. Now NET is the whole system.

From my experience, we can ignore the WIndows Mobile Market.
It's nothing even you make a very good game.

Iphone Port, it's worth to develop.
Andriod Port, I have no idea yet. I think, I will get an Andriod phone soon.

Got Android running on phones having a keyboard. This is a problem. My Android phone has none. Will have to continue investigations...

[DOOMSDAMON]

I will be purchasing a license when an android port comes out. %100

[zjking]

Maybe you can release Android port version without keyboard support, and we can test it in Android phone first.
Eager for it!

[akr]

The problem is the keyboard. Using video driver fbcon. fbcon requires keyboard. Now testing another video driver.

it's a really good new for the android port, if you want a beta tester, i'm available

[JUNIORGAMER]

Android port would be awesome, and i understand the devs here have to make money.


But...Leif.. how did you arrive at that price??? Why would you choose to pay $1000, and not choose a cheaper price? I'm really questioning your motive for posting in this thread now..

Please clarify...

[skydereign]

Licenses can be quite expensive, and a lot of users here would like to help the developers, but in most cases can't (aside from helping on the forums). Anyway, the license with the professional license is actually priced above Leif's number, so there's your motive if you must have one.
