MULTIPLAYER Palm Heroes

[Jim]

Hi guys,
we're working hard on debugging and testing an ONLINE version of Palm Heroes - and it will be cross-platform too! You'll be able to play vs. iphones, ipods, and windows phones too!

You'll have push notifications, so you don't have to be logge in all the time - you can make your turn, then quit, do smth else. When it's your turn again, you'll get a notification.

Check out this small developer preview video:

WinMob users can already grab the public beta from our forum.

Making a version for the iPad?

[Jim]

it's not an easy task you know. Combat-wise. We need to estimate, if the device will be at all popular, which I personally doubt. Then, if it will be, will there be a demand for Palm Heroes on that platform.

But I'm already working on a brand new set of 2X graphics for the map. It will make playing on the iphone much more comfortable - like it already is in the manual zoom-in mode, but with better graphics.

This looks like heroes of MM. How does the battle work?

The video has a win mobile port in in. The iphone version is a little bit different control-wise. Battle works fine)

Hey Jim,

I have just recently stumbled upon this app which my mate and I have been saying should have been made ages ago.

The one feature lacking that is unfortunately the main reason we paid to download this app was to be able to play each other at work :P (we work in different buildings) but then we only saw hot seat :(

Has there been any progress on getting an online multiplayer functionality going, if so when can we expect it?

Regards,

Steve
