The popular Tom Shatz showing his face on my iPad mini! 😉
One of the first surprises of this year (and we’re just starting!) is the availability of many of my games for iOS, ported by a very good coder/friend (that’s why you see them under his name on the itunes store). Currently there are the following games:
Heileen
Heileen 2
Always Remember Me
Flower Shop: Winter In Fairbrook
Spirited Heart (both versions, you can choose which one to buy)
they all use in-app purchase so you can play them for a while to make sure they work fine on your device 🙂
More games will follow in the next weeks, including the RPGs, however in the case of Planet Stronghold I had to redesign the GUI a lot because was almost unplayable on the mini iPad. I am not bothering with iPhone since I honestly don’t think anyone can play games with complex GUI on those devices with such TINY screens! 😀 Besides, I should redesign the games completely for those devices and I really don’t have the time: however the game themselves will work, you can try if you want.
New games progress
Regarding the new releases, Roommates is getting a new scheduler screen, much better than the one I poorly designed myself (strange eh, that an artist is more skilled than me with GUI!):
![GUI1-Roommates[prev]](https://www.winterwolves.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/GUI1-Roommatesprev.jpg)
I’m still coding it so is not 100% working but should be soon. I’m making progresses also with Seasons Of The Wolf, currently coded scene 07 out of… 26-27 😮
I know, is taking long time but remember that I started this game only last Summer, and I had still to work on Nicole and other games in the meanwhile! Anyway, I’ve got another writer working on the side-quests to speed things up 🙂
The good thing is that the artist who took 2 months break, is working on the romance scenes now, so I can definitely tell you that SOTW will be out this year, very likely the next RPG to be done!
Thanks for this. I just started Flower Shop on iOS, which I’ve heard good things about. Can’t wait to see what gets ported over next (Nicole, maybe?)
Yes in the next weeks almost all games should be available 🙂
Has it gotten easier to port to iOS, or is this the result of longstanding projects?
Mostly is the result of a friend who is a master coder 🙂
The new scheduler for Roommates looks awesome! Can’t wait until it’s finished (hope my husband will let me buy another game so soon… >.<)
Hopefully yes 😉
The inventory screen of the iOS version of Planet Stronghold is an improvement over the PC version. The only information that seems to be missing is weapon/armor requirement. It easier to compare item stats, since the tooltip design for the PC felt rather cluttered.
Anyways, I can’t wait for SOTW!
Thanks 🙂
I hope to get out of this week alive soon. Between bundles, offers, Steam, Desura, iOS I hadn’t a single day to work on SOTW (or other new games).
You’re right to avoid putting the RPGs on iPhone/iPod. I can barely play Flower Shop as it is (of course the PC/Mac version is better because farming, yay!).
Good luck on all your future ports. I assume Loren will only be available in censored mode, since Apple is, well, Apple. :p
Well I AM putting the RPG as well ! But I’ve redesigned the UI a bit otherwise was too hard to play. The Winter In Fairbrook port has farming even on iOS actually, is Summer In Fairbrook that is VN-mode only (wasn’t ported by us).
And yes of course all games on Apple will be censored (but the same for Google or other appstores).
I’m really looking forward to Roomates and SOTW. I saw that Loren made it to Steam too. Is it the same or did you have to censor it? Do we get steam codes if we already have it?
Yes, though the censor is only the nudity at end of game, there are still the romances but characters are wearing clothes. In some cases is really cute and maybe even more than the sexy version IMHO 🙂
If you have it already yes, email me to get the keys!
