Hi guys,
Thanks for your input, much appreciated! Extant was developed using a
tool called Unity - http://http://unity3d.com/ - which allows us to
quite easily and cheaply port the game to a multitude of platforms (PC,
MAC, iPhone, Android, browser, Steam, Wii, Xbox, Playstation). The only
real hassle is that we need to take into account certain platform
specifics such as memory, processor speed, screen sizes (jep, even with
audio games ;-) and input controls (mouse, keyboard, controller, touch
input, etc.). We are already experimenting with this with our (video)
game Gluddle - http://gluddle.com - that's currently on sale in the App
Store and free to play online on Kongregate.com and hopefully soon on
Android too. It has allowed us to find many of the pitfalls common to
multiplatform development.
Our personal wish is to design a single version of Extant for all
platforms. However, the PC/MAC versions are probably the most easy to
design for because of the platform specifics mentioned above. For
instance, the audio in the current version of Extant on iPhone tends to
tick/distort/stall sometimes because of memory issues. We'll let you
guys know when the new Extant follow-up project is initiated. If you
have any input or wishes for its gameplay don't hesitate to share them
here on Audyssey, through the AudioGames.net forum or via email! We're
currently busy with promoting Gluddle but you could really help us out
spread the word to friends and family, that way the sooner we can get
back at developing Extant :-)
Have a great day!
Richard & Sander

Subject: [Audyssey] iPhone Audio Games & Extant question (was: Just tried an
Iphone, my thoughts and questions)
Hi Dark, Audyssey
Thanks for your interesting review! Much appreciated. Sander and I are
thinking of developing an iPhone version of Extant for some time now.
Actually, we already got it running for a year on iPhone/iPad but since
Extant is not much more than a tech demo without real gameplay, we did not
yet persue this project. Our questions are these - for you, Dark, but also
the Audyssey community...
- would you be interested in an iPhone version of Extant (and then a full
version game, not just the tech demo)?
- would you be interested in audio games for (mobile) iOs (iPhone/iPod
Touch/iPad) devices?
- would you be interested in audio games for (mobile) Android (for example
Samsung Note, Galaxy) devices?
- how many of you play the adio games that are currently in Apple's AppStore
- and what do you think of these?
Thanks for your input. If there's enough interest we might want to make
Extant (or another audio game) one of our next projects! Oh, and if you
really want a full game version of Extant on PC or Mac, please let us know
too :-) And if you don't know what Extant is, check this out:
