Hi Dan,
I think the future of IOS games is voice control. Rather than touching the
phone you speak to it.
Here is a small example:
Labgoo and Yosi Taguri's Pah. A crazy voice-controlled game .
Pah version 1.2, a classic sidescroller for iOS, with one big twist.
Your goal is to destroy the asteroids before they destroy you.
It's the first full game in the iPhone App Store to be activated by voice
only.
Although it's a touch screen device - touching the screen won't do anything.
To play the game you use your voice in two ways.
Say Aah to move the spaceship up and down by changing your volume.
Shout Pah! to shoot.

completely agreed Brian.
at first i thought "me? use an iphone? never."
however i've had this one since august 2011 minus a couple months due
to a problem with the phone and i don't know how i'd ever go back now.
its just so simple in ways i cant really describe.
back on topic, I believe that ios will be a great place for accessible
gaming, look at the nightjar for example and that's just a start.
imagine where we could be in a couple of years?

Hi Thomas,
Well, if there are going to be games for the mobile market, I'd love to
see
some for Nokia devices running Simbian. More and more games are coming
out
for IOS devices and it'd be nice to see some for devices that are more
accessible.
Sure, Apple try and do the voiceover app, but when I tried an IPhone it
was
pointless and useless since the interface was purely all touch screen.
How
other blind people manage with it is beyond me and goes straight over my
head.
I tried it for two weeks before I got impatient with it so I went back to
the lovely button operated Nokia and Talks setup again.
I'd support Simbian myself, but looks like it's a trek down C++ lane,
which
doesn't sound appealing.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Damien,
That's hard to say. For one thing there are developers who write iOS
games
etc on a contract basis and its possible Liam is simply hiring someone
to
develop the games for him. In a case like that he can keep producing
games
for LWorks without actively developing games himself.
Of course, if he is developing the games himself or hiring the job out
to
a third-party developer he has a personal interest in supporting iOS
devices and has decided to get out of the PC market. As someone who also
tends to spend more and more time on mobile devices I can see why that
is
a much more appealing target than writing games for his desktop or
laptop
at home. :D

Hey,
If LWorks is making IOS games, does that mean that there's a chance he
may come back to us loyal Windows users?
Cheers.
