My second foray into appmaking is a Zombie Survival Handbook, I think I did a rather good job but advice is always good to have. Is there any sort of thing you believe I should add into this type of app? I go into basic weaponry + defense situations and use the army survival guide to supplement survival info on the run. Also have a section on zombie myths and the modern zombie (its evolution over the last 100 years).
Any suggestions are welcome
omgggg I am a huge zombie fan. I got every romero dead movie, read all the current the walking dead comics, own various other zombie movies, read survival guide and wwz and currently the rising. I LOVE ZOMBIES!!! ok sorry for the stupid rant but back on topic. I would make a section on recommendations of movies and comics/books. Fast and slow zombies differences. Romero and Russo/O'Bannon zombies differences. Scenarios. Voodoo zombies. transportation.
Do it! Sounds like a fun app
I released 1.0 last night after about a month of working in it after work and on weekends.
I have a world/cultural historical overview but you're right, it would make sense to do a review for modern day movies, especially foreign ones.
Some of my favorites offhand:
The original REC (quarantine)- was amazing.
FIDO was very well done.
Dance of the dead was low budget but fun to watch.
and I've heard good things about ' Dead Set' but haven't seen it yet- 6 episode 'what if' in which the big brother house is assaulted by zombies. (They're cut off from the world so don't realize z-day is here)
Thanks for the insight!
Very informative app! Now I know what to do when there is no more room in Hell!

yea I enjoyed rec more then quarantine, waiting for rec 2 to be english dubbed and my views on fido and dance of the dead are the same as yours. I heard of dead set and it seemed interesting but never got around to watching it. You should definitely read The Walking Dead comics if you haven't there's currently 74 issues and it took me like 3 days to read them but it was awesome man and they're making it into a tv show too soon. Finally another android & zombie fan cool man. Ima check the app out now. Got a twitter so i can follow?
Never actively update twitter outside of being at zombie cons
Should have a website up whenever my android partner-in-crime stops being lazy >_<
Thanks for the input =D
Some formatting issues will be fixed, and one person claimed broken links but I wasn't able to find any and checked it fairly thoroughly multiple times
Created a section for must see zombie films by request, top 19 fan favorites are on there.
Crap sorry I missed this I'm gonna go download it now! If you love zombies you should gotta watch high school of the dead its anime but it's good!
Not forgetting Shaun of the Dead! Best Rom Zom Com of all time lol
This is an app that needs to be out there because of principle ;-p

Any NFL fans out there? I've been (im)patiently waiting for Madden to be released, but got a nice surprise from my daily market check today - Backbreaker 2: Vengeance has just been released as a Play exclusive
First impressions after 10 mins play, loving it large Excellent graphics, zero lag, heaps of fun to play... and the controls on this puppy just make games like this rock I played this before on my old iPhone and I loved it but it was frustrating with the onscreen controls (yuck).
The Play is the best phone on the planet, bar none

Rugby with pads n helmets lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Lol, yeah a very under appreciated sport outside of the states. I just got hooked on it this year myself, weirdly I hate rugby. Prob cuz I had to play it in school
Highly complex, super athletes, massively entertaining... and the only sport where they openly have one goal in mind... kill the ball carrier. Never mind the pads & the helmets, this is a sport where real injuries are every game Those crunching tackles are what most of us won't admit we all love to watch lol.
Anyway, go play the game. The replays are ultra cool on the new tackling module end of the game. Go break the runner in half
American Football originated from Football(Soccer) and Rugby.
That's why American's call it Football, even though you play it with your hands.

Maybe the first one will work
I'm a fan of soccer (soccer is an english made name for football that the americans adopted - it comes from association football, was to differentiate itself from rugby football, aussie rules, gaelic etc.) I also love Rugby and am a massive fan of american football.
The massive misconception is that its rugby with pads - you dont get off the ball hits in rugby and most of the hits and braced for and expected
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7CZ_RgcJxk
Its also a much more tactical and strategic game than both rugby and football. Football/rugby are about stamina and endurance, keeping going without any breaks, the nfl is all out every second they are playing for with a short rest between plays.
Whilst the advertising is awesome during the superbowl there are much more creative parts to the game - the whole player system and drafting part is much better in the NFL (and all US sports) than it is with rugby and football. Creativity is all part of the game.
Anyway back on topic - I love backbreaker, played the first and now the second, I feel they could make a whole game from it and not just the 'mini' game type feel it has. Would be great if you could play a full game against opponents similar to madden superstar perhaps.
Madden is great on the X Play - not very long, only one season and far too easy even on hard but potential. The apk is floating around somewhere on these forums

Exactly, and pads allow players to give more massive hits - which the pads do little when it comes to the actual force absorbed by the body.
I love the strategy and mind games, and the HITS

Lol who was you playing with your little sister (joke). American football is an ok game, too boring to watch but ok to play imo.
Rugby and football are in a different league, its all about how the game flows but I suppose its all a matter of opinion.
Best sport to come from America is the ufc now there is a game I could do with on my play or fight night would be good.
P.s. Sorry for going off topic

English games have their merits and so do american sports - they are more like cricket, its a well paced game all about strategy and timings. Football and rugby are about stamina. They are in different leagues but parallel to each other.
And about the little sister joke, I find it hard to watch professional football for all the rolling around when someone gets close to them! Seems like they are the ones that are acting like girls!

Hello Guy
I have being working this last 5 months in a game inspired heavily in the Advanced Wars series. I wanted to create a turn based strategy game as rich or even more than AW, with more types of terrain and units. As i really dont like spending on apps I will make this game free to play. As of now, the state in the game is still in development but I am expecting it finish it by the end of the summer.
For this game I had a series of goals:
-Fun (obviously)
-Scalable, support for small maps or huge big maps
-Customizable
-Multiplayer
-Intuitive control
By the state the game is now all of this goals seem really close. So I would like to hear also what the community has to say, what would they like in a turn-based strategy game like this.
Update:
Gameplay style:
As I mentioned before this game is inspired by Advance Wars, but I want to state clearly that this is not an AW clone. I want to make it my own game with my own touch for what I think will make it a game optimized for phones and tablets. Right now I have most of the ideas of how the game will work and how the gameplay style will be, but I also want to know what you fellow xda'ers think.
-The moving style is similar, to AW where you can move the unit to the desired tile and you can either choose your path or let the game decide the fastest path. The purpose of this is for more strategy reasons, the fastest way is not always the best.
-The units can perform an action(attacking, building, repairing, etc...) and move independently. This way you can also attack and then move.
-This buildings are independent from the terrain. I am planning on using cities as a source of income but units will be build using barrack that will be created by engineers.
-Engineer are one of the most important units, as they will create buildings for producing units, towers for defending, and com centers for support.
- I will still have naval and air units, and their behavior will be pretty much similar to the ones of AW.
With this changes I am planning on making the game more fast and strategic. So I want to hear what you guys have to say and if you think I should add something or remove something.
I will be posting more information soon.

Never actually heard of Advance Wars, looked it up, now im quite excited.
Would love to see this game. Do post the screens soon!
please please no open feint. I hate this thing in ways unimaginable.
The logic of the game is almost done but I am still lacking some cool graphics. I will throw some advanced wars sprites and I will make some screenshots.
Ok one more update
The game itself is not near completion and I would rather not show any screenshot or videos as it doesnt have any feature that will set it apart from any other TBS. I will keep working on the game and probably by next week I can have something that is worth showing. Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciated.
Sounds like its going to be awesome, can't wait!

One of the ideas I had was to make the game modular so that the instead of using and artwork set, the people in the comunity could create "texture pack" to change the look and feel of the game. But for now I need some sprites at least for making the first public demos of the game, intead of use the Advanced Wars sprites. If you know how to do graphics design I would be really pleased to have your coopertion. If you are intersted PM me back and we can figure something out.
Thank you for the interest.
Just an update,
I have being really busy moving to a new apartment so I havent got time to work too much on the game and the screenshots this last week. I am almost done with unpacking so soon I will bring more info.
Sounds good. I will test when its available. PM me when you need testers...

Say Hello to a new World.
There are few games on mobile that are insanely addictive. Parallel Kingdom AOT, is by far the most intriguing one I have come across. PK comes across as a MMORG, which uses the GPS on your phone to place you in your actual location in game.
The game starts you off as an explorer beginning his/her journey. As you continue your adventure, you level up, get upgraded weapons and armor, and slay monsters day in day out. You constantly play alongside other players, from throughout the world, teaming with them to form kingdoms, cities and alliances.
Parallel Kingdom uses Google Maps as the background, and makes use of GPS satellites to place you in your real life location. New updates including the satellite map feature lead to you actually getting the sense that you are enjoying a high seas adventure with your mates, or leading an expedition through the Sahara desert, or struggling through the Amazon forest, slaying any monsters that come you way.
The great thing about PK is that you continue in the same place you leave. So you don’t have to worry about getting back to where you log off. Perblue devs have managed to create an amazing game through almost a 3-year period.
PK is available on both Android and iOS.The game has reached the 1,000,000 player mark and is spreading fast. The game is a nice change from Angry Birds, and maybe a step away from it and possibly all other games. Don't blame me if you end up becoming a PK addict.

Seriously try this, this is an epic game. Not the 3-d graphics etc you would normally want from a mobile RPG. However, this is really an exceptional game, and it runs very smoothly, plus its easy to adapt to and very hard to get away from it.
Thanks for the tip, gonna have to try this out now!

The game uses food as a currency. Food can be bought with real cash, dollars pounds etc. One of the payment methods which can be used is Zong. Zong uses messages to get u food, I am not sure about the entire procedure but thats the basics. If you wish to buy food you are directed to a message which if you send gets you the amount of food you want to buy.
This was brought up on the PK forums as well.

I am not one of the devs. However, people at XDA looking for intuitive, exciting, and enjoyable content, and PK, is that. So it was'nt a surprise that this ended up on the front page.
It was maybe lost on the XDA forums, because when I checked for other threads about PK, there were a couple from two years ago.
This is a brilliant game and it deserves to be highlighted on the front page regardless of the day it was launched.

As far as OP goes, I love this game been playing for a few months too......It's very addicting and constant changes and improvements to gameplay and strategy. The Devs are great at listening to the users and giving them what they want. One of the best parts about this game is it's multi-platform so you are playing with IPhone players as well so the vast amount of people playing is ridiculousness. I got the same name on the game as here so look me up.

Nice! I played this on 360.
It was actually a refreshing "arcadey" change to a stale Tomb Raider formula... I always liked it, but felt like it would've been more appropriate to release on a handheld. Now that's coming true! BUYING!
and it's just the first from Square Enix.. more established titles are coming, yey!
Very awesome that there are so many Exclusives that are high end titles. That said they need to get the word out better and advertise these things some more or something. For example you wouldn't know Hot Pursuit was even available if you weren't looking for it.
I will definitely be picking this one up!
God of War or Prince of Persia could heat things up, really!

Really? I love getting iPhone ports.
iPhone has a lot of great games, but iOS in general is too limited for them to be fully recognized. Porting iPhone games to Android removes everything that makes them limited... especially considering the Xperia PLAY - which has single-handedly changed the tides of smartphone gaming being un-ideal without buttons.
Quick ports for quick buck tend to be subpar, no matter how good the source material is. That's why I'm wary.
This is definitely great news for players who haven't played the game, I highly recommend this title, it's a great platformer with nice puzzle solving.
Only gripe is.. I have already finished the game on my computer :/

Maybe Tomb Raider, Square Enix as a brand and mindless shoot'em up games stopped being cool in the neighborhood of 2000? I bought this phone because it allows me to emulate good older games, I don't give jack **** about 99% of the "new" games (mostly poor iPhone ports or glorified casual game divertimentos ). There are still no RPG worth their salt, no absorbing plots and no strategic games. Hell, I would fawn over a Final Fantasy Tactics port even, or Crystal Chronicles...
If you want to see me hyped, bring me weird or innovative games: Katherine, Hyperdymension Neptunia, Super Magnetic Neo... I've been holding console pads for almost 20 years, and I have witnessed how companies quit the innovation race long ago.

Tomb raider is far from a mindless shooter. Just like resident evil series, over the years the need to draw more "Casual gamers" into the series has forced the developers to tone down it's puzzle solving aspects. And as for Square not being cool anymore 2 words ..... Deus Ex
Deus Ex, Batman Arkum Asylum/City (Square Enix owns Eidos), Square Enix still makes great games.
