5 months of hard work - Android Apps and Games

and this is the result [1] (youtube video attached for those who just want to take a glimpse). I would be very glad if I could get some feedback from you guys, or at least give it a go and test it on different devices. The game was developed on HTC HD2 and also I've seen it running on Galaxy S and that's it.
Cheers!
[1] oh and because I'm new here, I obviously can't post any links If some more privileged user could do it for me I would appreciate it. The game is called "Rocket Craze" and is available on Google Market.

Here you go

people of good will still exists! thank you grandelama

Could anyone of you guys check if the game (latest version 1.0.16) runs properly on Samsung Galaxy S2, as the previous version purportedly crashed when starting the launch of the rocket.

Lags like hell on LG O1. And the controls suck.

It losses control once I tilt my phone any bit. HTC EVO 3D.

Yes this is how it was implemented. It should be hard at the beginning (the engine thrust is not so different than gravity force), but it gets better as soon as you do the upgrades. What do you think should I change it, by making the first engine little bit more powerful?
As for lagging issue, I'm doing a bit of an offscreen rendering to make fire look like it looks now and that is one of the reasons the game runs slowly < 20 fps on some devices. Still I'm trying to move some of the functionality to the GPU rather than CPU, to make it less laggy on less powerful devices. But given the fact that christmas are coming I probably won't be able to improve the performance this year. Sorry :/
Still, somebody please test it on Galaxy S2, as this definitely crashed on versions < 1.0.16

On G2x it just steers to one side or the other and the rocket crashes instantly, regardless of tilting.
Which is too bad, because it looks like it would be a really fun game.

I've changed the sensitivity as well as I've fixed the error which occurred on some (for example S2) devices. It seems that the OpenGL's RGB framebuffers are not supported on some smartphones and instead I've choosen the RGBA.
If somebody could find a bit of time and retest the game I would appreciate it.
Cheers

Working much better now. Thank you!
This is a pretty fun game, and quite challenging.
I appreciate your work on this!

Love it.
Thanks for your hard work!
Regards and thanks.

Man, this is hard! Whatever i do the rocket ALWAYS takes a 180 and dives. This happens even before the petrol is empty, and it's pointed upwards. Fun game though!
Edit: OK, gets a little better after the first upgrade.

I'm glad that it behaves better now.
Still, I would like to ask somebody a favour. Recently I've received an email from Amazon saying that they're having some problems running my application on Kindle Fire. And because I don't have the device in person (and probably I will not get it quickly) I'd like to ask somebody who would be kind enough to test the game on the device. Also, it is vital for me to obtain a logcat report in case of a force close or a crash situation. I know it is a long shot, but maybe somebody will find a bit of a time.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
Yesterday I've posted the newest version of the game 1.0.21 in which I've included some major changes of my drawing system. Those changes should make possible to play the game on lower-end devices, one of them which I recently bought and was quite surprised how badly the game was performing. Still, I know that more can be achieved when it comes for performance therefore I'm again asking for your feedback (especially from you guys with less powerful devices).
Hope you'll enjoy the game.
Cheers!

Open Source 3D Driver For Snapdragon Released

Didn't know if put here or on General...
http://androidspin.com/2010/07/02/open-source-3d-driver-for-snapdragon-released/
Will this mean anything for performance?
well i don't see why not. game developers should benefit from this too
Let's wait for the dev's to implement this
This should mean a performance improvement but I would not hold my breathe as to a huge improvement.
I dont really mind as I dont think a phone should be a games console.

It's not a PSP, but a game once in a while doesn't hurt. This driver might open up some options for UIs as well and/or make them respond faster.
Open Source Kernel Driver, but Closed Source User Space Driver.
Won't help us much as much as we would like, unfortunately. Hope they'll release it fully so we all can make the best use of it.
Dave @ DRI-dev has had enough with these closed sources already :/
Just love what he's responding with:
"This is a can of worms I'd rather not enter into......"
"So you've upstreamed the kernel bits, kept the good userspace bits to yourselfs, are stroking them on your lap like some sort of Dr Evil......"

I agree with that.
Just a few people on here were wanting Desire to be as good as IPhone 3GS for games when it does everything else better.
People just have to get used to the fact that no matter how good the graphics are it'll never be able to play games. For instance I had a game the other day which had a virtual joystick on the left and buttons on the right. Graphics were very good but sometimes lagged. But problem was when you had to run and jump, u couldn't because u can only press one button at a time. Which in my eyes is the worst flaw for the desire. How can a phone at this price in this day and age not support multitouch. What a con.
Other than that I'm happy with everything else but this is a big letdown to me and I'm sure many others.

The Desire can happily track 2 touch points at any one time.
Games will see a vast improvement in quality once Froyo and Air based games arrive.
Just look at the game Angry Bird's, Best seller on iPhone & iPad and due to arrive on Android soon, you can see it on a Droid/Milestone here: http://www.rovio.com/index.php?mact=Blogs,cntnt01,showentry,0&cntnt01entryid=24&cntnt01returnid=58

In theory yes it should track 2 touches but it doesn't. Trust me I've tried all sorts of games and emulators and it won't let you press more than one button at once. Try it you'll see. No updates will fix this as far as I'm aware its a hardware problem(cheap touchscreen).

I did, I wrote my own app to test max touch points available (in Air 2.5) had it tracking 2 points no problem, on both 2.1 & 2.2.

Yes I know about that app but like I said u try playing a game that supports multitouch and it doesn't work properly on the desire. For instance, assassins creed from gameloft had a lot of running and jumping and certain parts u need to do both at the same time yet its not possible which ended up in a lot of deaths and getting a refund. Yet the iPhone doesn't suffer from this. Maybe because it has 11 touch points.
I also hate the way every one says the desire isn't for gaming. Yet its market store has a lot of (incompatible) games. If u remember when the iPhone first came out it couldn't do anything, it didn't even have an appstore at first but now it plays amazing games. So fingers crossed, this problem will be fixed and the desire will catch-up with the games because believe it or not there are a lot of upset desire owners that want good games for the £350 phone.
gameloft are lazy. their android ports from iphone arent clean. i played real soccer on desire and it was poor. after a mazy run you are lucky to pass or score. fifa 10 on desire is a different kettle of fish. multitouch does work but not the best compaired to iphone

it's a software problem, the phone can track two points but will also activate an area between those two points, this is how pinch-to-zoom works.
the solution is to include the area between the two points in the calibration for the buttons, so that you do not inadvertently activate buttons between the two that you want to press.
complicated but not impossible, they just need to properly port them
There's a developer called phhusson over at Modaco in the Acer liquid development. I think he solved the mt problem in his kernel.

It's apparently fixable in the kernel. Cyanogen apparently had a fix but he never released it. Google promised as well to fix the multitouch bug on FroYo for the Nexus but I haven't heard anything else about that.
It would be nice to have the same smoothness as the iPhone, as in on interface parts.

Initial thoughts on my Optimus 3D

My Optimus 3D arrived today after ordering online yesterday on pdashop.be
It's a lot faster than my LG Optimus 2x and the software is a lot better than stock on my Optimus 2x everything so far runs smoothly.
Loving the 3D video and pictures, really amazing depth!
I tested a few SBS 3D MKV and they all runs just fine first time you need to select that they are 3D but after that you can just click and start, also tested a few MKV series with .srt subtitle files and they worked just great!
Tested a few emulators like snesoid and n64oid (this one runs very slooow on a HTC EVO 3D) they run super smooth!
Installed launcherpro because I use it on all my phones, and that runs great and I still can use all the LG widgets!
In bright sunlight the screen is still very readable, the viewing angle is also very good, EVO3D viewing angles seem to be not that great.
Tonight will connect it to my TV and projector to do a few tests.
Also will try to run some SDK samples I compiled at home.
Very Happy with this phone!
Updates:
Tried Samurai II Nvidia only game with Chainfire 3D and Nvidia plugin and it works smoother than on my Real Nvidia phone
Multi touch test: 10 finger input works great!
Tested on 3D tv and it looks very nice indeed, All my mkv normal and 3d worked great, only things that did not show on the 3D tv were the included files like B-Boy Beats and Coral Dreams but they all show a Green unlocked symbol?
My compiled 3D SDK sample also ran great and a lot faster than on the emulator
i'm happy too
so are you a dev?

I am not really an android dev but I made small games before. I am planning to make a 3D game for my phone
Am finding it a tad laggy at times tbh just returned the previous one I had under a different contract and found another cheaper which came today.
I am finding its like it stops at times and its like it catches up and a few times have had a force close situation, anyone else finding this and are you all still using the stock launcher or a different one.

I just switched to launcher pro and all seems fine now, also used bloatfreezer after root to hide the lg home launcher.
I'm well happy with mine. Yes the battery is going to be an issue but see my post about extra ones and a stand alone charger.
I've had some great fun in the local Costa coffee house demonstrating this phone. Here's what happens...
I said to the staff (I know them quiet well) "I'd like to show you my new phone, but if I do you will be so impressed you will simply have to get one". They reply, "what sort is it?". "It's an LG" I said. At this point THEY ALL turn up their noses and inform me they have iPhones
Eventually curiosity gets the better of them. "Go on then, show us this new phone".
I select the 3D gallery and start playing the sample video of the dancing guys.
Stunned silence, followed by wide eyed expressions and excited shouts of "it's 3D!". At this point I remind them "and NO silly glasses". They are BLOWN AWAY!
Customers nearby want to see what all the fuss is about.......same result, BLOWN AWAY!
They ALL want one, they are ALL wondering how much it cost, where can they get one, how can they escape from new contracts and get this WONDER PHONE
My reply to "how much" upsets them big time.
Guys, we got a ground breaking phone here, no question!

Fantastic story I bet you had smug mode well and truly then lol.
Hehe, i've been using the preloaded Kelly Slater Video for showing off. The barracuda floating in front of the screen is sick. I seriously caught one of my colleagues secretly ordering himself an O3D.
I really didn't expect that phone to have such an impact, but everyone (apples, nokias etc) was honestly impressed by it, not just by the 3D. Screen and build quality were appreciated as well.
I accidently deleted all the preloaded videos can someone upload them please

Minecraft Pocket Edition now available

I was never into it, but I'm sure some of you are. Enjoy.
http://goo.gl/44tJK
ooo, been waiting for this. Cheers
I was excited for this but now I'm just mad. 7 dollars for an alpha? Steinkraft for. 99 cents has more features. And updates come daily adding something new mst of the time. I'm just shocked by the price an lack of awesomeness compared to something 6 dollars cheaper and developed bysomeone who hasn't already made a f**k load of money selling people an alpha.
Sent from my Transformer TF101G using Tapatalk
As for someone who has never played minecraft, the price is a bit steep. I've been told that this version lacks many features that made the desktop counter part so great. I tried the free version myself and was impressed at how large the world is. It's very expansive and filled with different terrains.
Aside from that, the controls need work and having an open world where there really is nothing much to do but build can quickly become stagnant. I spent a whole hour building a tunnel going to nowhere and now that I look back, I kinda want it back.
I'll keep my eye on this and purchase at a later date when there is actually something to do.

No survival, no mobs, no health - just exploring and building...
If these will be implemented, then it'll be great. Now it is just really a "demo"
It's alpha, and that kind of makes sense for why its so limited. That said, its probably been released for stability testing and to gather bug reports since its new to the platform. I note that the Desktop client for linux requires specifically SUN java, and knowing what we know about the chafing between Google Android and Oracle's new ownership of Sun Java, this may explain the slow development of Minecraft for Android. Perhaps the conversion to other java variants is a stumbling point.
Been building like crazy cuz I'm new to minecraft altogether, but it hasn't crashed on me evar. So I hope the features begin being added soon. I like it a lot so far.
I play minecraft a lot on my pc, so it was a bit strange to see the only building version of it. But i'm pretty sure it will be awesome once more features will be introduced. So for those that really havent played it, just hang on it's gonna be awesome!

States:
With this release onto other Android devices, Mojang will start to focus on bringing more of the original Minecraft content found in the PC version over to the mobile version which includes Survival Mode. For those of you eager to get your hands on Minecraft: Pocket Edition's Survival Mode, it may be a little bit of a wait as Mojang needs to rebalance and tweak things before it will be released.
It makes sense that porting an entire PC title would take some time. However, it looks like they have a handle on things. It's just a patience/waiting game until they work everything out.
I tried this out. I like minecraft a lot, but I can't see playing this on a tablet. The controls are awful and the features are very limited.

Hardcore Gaming

So I am a huge android gamer. I do not have a pc except at work and i do not have any console systems at home. I am really loving the development that is going on with some stuff Ive seen. Unity 3d and cloud gaming is gonna be huge i think.
My goal with this thread is to try to gather some of us android gamers together. I play all day at work and at home. I need something more than Modern Combat 4 haha. Its a great game but im looking for some huge sprawler. I have seen wildblood from gameloft, looks amazing. I am trying to figure out what people are playing on this device. maybe develop a little support thread for us gamers to unite and share what we have found with each other. I havent really been able to find anything about it anywhere for our device. seems all the attention is always on the one x. our phones are powerful....lets unleash it!
I agree. I'm down to play whatever multi player/coop games we have. Let me know!!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
re
I would be too. I guess MC4 multi is only on wifi, but im sure there are some good things out there. I really am sort of enjoying Aralon. Played it?
Am i to assume that really no one plays any games on our device?!
Its too small to do any serious gaming on
What do you mean too small? I play stuff on it all the time. Classic games for sure. I even tried OnLive and demoed the free demo for Darksiders 2 and it worked awesome. Im trying to figure out pairing my ps3 controller for better use, but you could even do mhl out and play dead trigger and whatnot with a ps3 controller. Havent heard of the Ouya? well our phone is powerful as well, i see no need to buy a console when i have one in my hand.
Figuring out compatibility with games that I know the unit could run, i.e. Horn and Six Guns. Let me know if anyone is interested in this as well, I think we should work together as I see no real gaming support community out there. If anyone knows one please let me know.
Too small: When using touchkeys, your fingers covers half the screen and you cant see where youre going
Controller, sure, but unless you have one that can dock the phone, you face another problem - the screen is too far away and therefore too small.
Now a tablet on the other hand have plenty of space for your fingers and can easily be seen when using a controller
So, therefore: The One S is too small for serious gaming
Edit: Whats wrong with six guns? Seems to work just fine?
gameklip acttaches phone to controller. i can play fine with touch controls, maybe youre not a good gamer.
woa that was uncalled for. In that case - maybe youre an 8 year old girl with paperthin fingers?
maybe, im just saying that why should i have multiple devices? i already have a powerful device.
No one said that. You asked if you were to assume nobody played games on the one S, and I answered "its too small" as the reason as to why I dont play 'hardcore' on it.
And Im sure Im not alone.
well thats a great answer i guess. Now as far as people that would actually like to do so? any input there?

Get rid of the poorly autotranslated program descriptions. They sound ridiculous, at least in German. Use English text instead or look for good translators.
Try to include important keywords into your app desription, like the title of the original games - but in a "natural" manner.
The visual style of your game is not appealing. Use a better font, do not use "dirty grey* backgrounds. Use flat graphics. Try to get inspiration by games like Dots and Threes.
It looks like your game is quite hard to play on a 4" device. Try to make your assets bigger.
You've given us no reason to play your game.... What's your pitch? Convince me, make me NEED to download it right away.

Note: HD/FHD support only. For example - Galaxy Nexus 4/5/7, Galaxy S3/4, Note 2/3, Xperia Z, Moto X, G2 and HTC One etc.
Your target devices have amazing hardware inside. your game should be able to tap into that powerful hardware resource available.
Otherwise target the low end android devices to improve the game popularity nad bugs and then work your way upto the flagships !!
You should also do more to promote your game. Go on Google+, start a blog, etc. You can't just depend on word of mouth, you have to self promote.
I generally love when people try pushing their apps into the store,but this game does not look attentive at all.Just because you worked on an app for a long time doesn't mean it will be a hit.
People like hd, possibly 3d apps that aren't too complicated.
Average people want a simple game to kill time,which is attractive. I don't know how to describe, but you must have talent for it xD

But vast majority of user have budget devices when newly launched. These devices were launched as flagships ( flagships are not brought by majority of people ).
Try improving the basic graphics of game so that, it does not give an impression of a cheap or free game even if small in size.
Release the app on iOS and Windows store . Since iOS popular games are more blindly followed into the Play Store popularity ratings by blogs.
This will give enough popularity fir your game.
See the problem is you are good in designing and all , but you need to learn to market your skills to people also. you need to highlight your plus points more visibly in the already crowded world of apps & games.
make people notice the difference.

Atleast make the GAME ICON in play store ATTRACTIVE or of HD quality.
Honestly , with the current icon, even when i am searching for a game and title meets the requirement, i would likely skip it for some spam and all.
Cause it looks like many other games out there already popular, just in different background. There are still a lot of games that can be played on budget hardware, I still use my evo 4g on cm11 and run a lot of the games I like that came out this year.
And now to me you've made it to where people will point and laugh and say that's the dev crying nobody's downloading they're app...actually, that is good marketing lol

Well as stated only having such a poor quality game that's HD only! These are simple games but to be honest having a HTC One S and that's apparently not good enough for your game kinda makes me think screw it, there are plenty of better looking similar apps that do work.
for starters, change that icon, it's terrible, less cold colors and more white would be great
Improve the ui, it's horrible

Need to improve your UI, also try to come up with something new...
Need to improve the title of the thread (immature, for god sake) or is tactic to attract more viewers!? Then I try your app, give 5 stars & my thanks too.
