Mana world style game for iTouch/iPhone

Post by posa »

hi, i have an iPhone, and i miss some games, that are possible to be made.
I once thought in creating a game, the same style as the mana world, for iTouch/iPhone, but i don't understand of pixeling and graphics developing, if someone knows well how to do it, and wants to help me doing this game, please send me a pm, so we get in touch and we see what we can do :)
One game that is kinda similar to what i'm thinking is Inotia 2.. if anyone has the opportunity to try this game on, it's really good and adictive, but there aren't many online features..
ps: a good money is garanteeded if a good game is made, some games cost like, 7-9 dollars :P
thanks

So I'm guessing you've bought applications off the App Store in the past, or downloaded the free apps?

(dw, this leads to my point)

You realise how they're usually by a company, might say "Developed By", rather than one or two people online?

Apps are professional things, and games even more so. It's a multi-million dollar industry, and when you finish the game and get it approved for App Store, it's available for MILLIONS to potentially download.

Best of luck :)

Apple and its store are evil. Apple decides which applications the user may install because the only way to get an app to run on your apple mobile device is through the app store and apple censors it brutally. They don't allow any application in it which might interfere with their business.

You should rather develop for Google Android. Then you can even distribute your application as a regular web download without relying on the App Store when you want to.

Sure, Apple devices can be hacked to allow this too (until the next firmware update), but what kind of relationship between customer and company is that?

i know it's hard to do it, but lots of games, most low developed ones, are made by one single person, or a few..
well, i'll see what i'm gonna do :P
