    Hi,

    Given a Team: all grown up on PST/bg, a good storyteller, graphics guy, and the graphic guy also knows Cellphone stuff, no iPhone however. These guys know how to write apps and graphics for Google Android, and WinMo ok now Windows Phone(TM) as well.

    Soo these guys ask: we've ideas but what ppl R E A L L Y wanna see & play? :-)

    Yeah so my question is (btw they're my friends I'm no part of their DEV Team, just kinda PR :-)), so question is, really:

    Would you give chance to a CRPG on your cellphone?
    What cellphone you have? (RIM BB, Android-based, ... ?) What game you would prefer? Like bg, PST, iwd? Riddles or combat? A mix & match of all these? What you MISS from current ones and wanna see in a Brand New RPG? None of the above ------ do you play already a good one you're happy with?

    Their Team btw uses Completely Own Ideas so it gonna be no BG clone or whatever.

    Your Feedback is mostly appreciated In Advance.

    TIA,
    sarevokcrusher

    P.S. the Feedback as said above is mostly appreciatated, however please spare us of the comments sort `lamers`, my friends Team is good devs really, and we really wanna hear what kind of RPG you REALLY would play on Your Cellphone ------ if any.

    Turn based combat would be a must. Although, not programming for the iPhone, iTouch, and iPad is a huge mistake.

    Thanks! :-)

    Turn-based like TRUE Turn-based or realtime Turn-based as bg/PST for instance (with Pause Options)?

    The problem they hate dev for iOS (iPhone) tho as their `marketing` guy they might want to listen me if the demand here (iDemand!!) is Of Great Significance.

    I was thinking true turn based. Cell phone screens and keyboards are small, I'm not sure how well a BG type or Dragon Age type of combat would work. I'm thinking TOEE type would work best.

    Thanks all :-) So TURN-BASED also can be an Option, as in Betrasal At Krondor.

    One year ago The DEV Team made a Short Proof of Concept CRPG for cellphone (it was for the SYMBIAN thattime), see the Screen Shot below

    They made the Game in 2 weeks, so Not a big deal but pls note it was made as a PoC in Two weeks. It was realtime turnbased as f.e. Baldurs Gate.

    Looks like the grass is suspiciously BG...

    Also, it's slightly buggy, but in the light of the fact it was a proof of concept, this is more or less understandable.

    They quickly took the Grass (but only the grass) from Baldurs Gate; it was just a private PoC..
