Ok to start off, no flaming, respect to game devs for android, but I am asking myself why don't we have decent games? Why? Now I love the games we have, but there's only a 100 or so out of 10000000 games on android market that are worth playing. If you go to 'just in' in the games section then all there is are puzzles and low quality sex games. WTF! Seriously this is getting worse. Android market is growing and growing with apps but they don't really have games that give us the full potential of our high tech devices, they look more like games for the HTC g1, I am very dissapointed with this and my next phone is going to be a iPhone despite the amazing feautures of android just because of the quality of apps. Or shall I say games more because one of the main reasons to get a android was to play some awsome games. Gameloft is doing a amazing job to give good games. Love angry birds, adequate other game dev's, but that's about it. The rest are just low quality rubbish. Not flaming just my point of view. Waiting for iPhone 5 if this doesn't improve. This started when I played COD : Zombies and cut the rope on my friends iPhone 4.
What's your thought please share
one of the main reasons to get a android was to play some awsome games.

That said, [EPIC FAIL]
It is easier to develop on iPhone because there is a one -fixed- kind of device. I mean, no different resolutions, no different devices, no different hardware on devices like android. Of course it is easier to develop. Nevertheless, still there is better applications for Android. Or am I wrong? iPhone is more like a "showcase" which is useless in real world -in my opinion-. But I would buy iPhone if I want games.

So ur telling me android can't handle gaming?
And I agree about the resoloution, but now the new android devices are always 400x800 so why not have specific games just for those.

No, I'm not saying Android is not for games. I'm saying that iPhone is. Android has a different target in mind. Of course there are plenty of games, from sports to FPS, but if you're not ok with them, well, iPhone is the only way.
If you're just complaining why android doesn't have "cool" games, well, do a forum search, you'll find plenty of threads about this. No need to open one more.

I was just expressing my opinion, and gaming is one of the things you do on ur phone when u r just bored sometimes on the move. Im not complaining about android, in just thinking what's so hard about making a good game on android. I think android market should have some requirements on devs making games to sell to improve the standard rather than people just publishing basic puzzle games or sex wikis lol.

Mine is 480x320 and I love it. And I am not going to buy a "huge" device. And I think I am not the only one.
That would mean review over the market, and that may lead to an annual fee to post applications on the Market. I don't personally want to pay a fee for just posting my free apps, nor I'd like if I were selling low-price ones. Applications on the Market are indexed though by the community: if the majority of the population likes a sex game, then it will be in both the main screen and in "most popular" of their category. As of new games and apps, it's up to the developer to publicize it, just like I'm doing.

Well Google, should of had a rule for screen resoloutions to be the same for every android device to get better apps on android. Anyway, its all good, did a mistake once, not again.

I would imagine that once the Xperia Play and PlayStation Suite are out there will be a marked increase in the number and quality of games from the big developers.

Greetings!
I don't know how many of you actually played iQuarium on iOS, but it probably is the only pointless-waste-of-time game I play on the iPhone 3g I keep as my third device.
I sent an email to idreams yesterday regarding a possible port to android, and guess what!
Dear Customer,
We are very happy that you like our game.
iQuarium will be released for Android soon, we are already working on that.
best regards,

Just letting you know in case anyone else is also waiting for this
Sweet! Infinite Dreams have super slick games, great graphics too. I love their Jelly series and the Pottery game too
And finally, it's here
Hey, guys. I don't know what to do with this doubt, but I'll place it here for now
There are very few same-room multiplayer games in android. That I know of, Bomberman multiplayer and Drippit. That makes.... 2 games if my math is correct:silly: I definitely don't know what is going on here. Androids are ubiquitous, software price is cheaper than a decade ago, bluetooth comms are a lot more stable, and people do like multiplayer.... or not?
I was thinking of making a good same-room-different-device game... But I stutter at the current market: 2 games which fit that cathegory Bomberman is supposedly not even stable in multiplayer...
Any thoughts about this? Thanks! And happy holidays!
:highfive:
In doubt too!

I share your doubt (although I did build Drippitt!)
I do have thoughts about this, lots of them, so let's share the one's I think (at this moment) are the most important.
First of all: You do need 2 people with the same app in the same room at the same time with the same interest.....
(Mostly if this is so: The interest will be something else then to communicate through layers of "high tech data", they will be in the mood to remove layers...)
Oopz. That was very compact && the essence. Lets stick with that.
(Probably only geeks and nerds like us are ecstatic with the idea to do complex communication with someone you also just can touch...)

I emailed Robert Broglia who is the awesome developer of so many .EMUs on Google PLAY store about a possible N-Gage emulator. I realize the phone was horrible but it did have a few gems, Glimerati, Asphalt (yes the same as we have now), and of course the three reasons to own an N-Gage Ashen, Elder Scrolls Travels: ShadowKey, Requiem of Hell.
Yes, I owned an N-Gage and at the time enjoyed it, but for those games above alone this phone was worth it. If anyone is interested in this possiblity please email Robert at the address below and ak/encourage him with support for this. I think it would be kind of cool to play N-Gage games on our Xperia PLAY seeing as how both phones were touted as gaming phones.. obviously the PLAY is much much better contender for that title then the N-Gage... anyways please contact him if this is something that you would like, you never know what might happen.
And for those who think this is a stupid thread that is your opinion and you are entitled to it same as myself and others are...... but if you dont like this thread keep it clean and on topic in a positive light, I DO NOT want this thread to go down as a "trash the N-Gage" thread. Thank you.

Excellent idea. I loved my N-Gage regardless of what people thought of the phone side of it. My favourite games were ashen, pandemonium and Colin McRae.
On another note, I was looking for a gameplay video of ashen a year or so on youtube for reminiscing purposes when I discovered ashens videos, which now take up most of my time when I sit at my computer!

Just a thought though. The N-Gage was a portrait screen which will be quite small on the play if we were to use gamepad

I thought about that as well... the portrait screen.. perhaps if its reated Robert could add in screen stretching..... it may not look right but perhaps having the option in place for users to decide.....
Also, if a Sega 32 & Sega CD (working) were released..... Silpheed (SCD,) Lunar (SCD), Knuckles Chaotix (32x) Shadow Squadron (32x)
such a good request ...
i'm with you , i love emulators more and more than gameloft games .
can you please send a mail about NDS emulator to them ?

Despite the ridiculing the 32x received, I loved mine. I got Virtua Fighter for Xmas the year it came out and I remember waking at about 4am Xmas morning and playing it for about 6 hours straight!!!
There were some other games that were good as well. Star Wars Arcade and Stellar Assault I enjoyed, and although the fighting wasnt great, Cosmic Carnage was really impressive with its scaling effects! And dont forget Doom!!!

Hey guys - you efforts are nice - but did you ever think about:
- That .EMU dev ist the real developer of the emulators he provides - according to his HP he just ported them to android using his Imagine-Engine.
- Developing an emulator for a single person takes AGES if there is no former work or knowledge on it.
- Did he even answer to your request? Like: "lets see how many people are interested in? Or do you just call up to spam that guy heavy?
- A short google search on an n-gage emu - doesn't bring up much (might be cause the n-gage was a big fail) - at least no former open-sourced emulators (ok I just spent 5min on it - so i might have overlooked one). So even if you spam this guy heavily - he propably can't do it.
I know - you didn't mean it that way - but please be sure to have some conversation with a dev before you call up for a spam session in a big and open forum.
regards

I have been searching for over a year keeping an eye out for an n-gage emulator with no luck. And as such I decided to contact the Dev for the .EMU series of emulators in hopess that he would be interested in it as a possibility or at the least he may know of someone who may or may not be able to help. When I created this thread it was my intent to get others who would be interested in an emulator as a means of genereating interest and contacting the dev above. I know you probably didnt mean it to sound that way but I do not appreciate the words "spam session" as this is not my intent.
When I think of an idea or find something that I feel others may enjoy I like to share it, this is simply nothing more then an idea in hopes that if contacted with the right individuals would turn into something more. So please be cautious of just slapping "spam session" on something.
Now.... lets turn this back to the thread on topic. If others may find or think of another developer to contact please bring it up. Thank you.
Apparently there WAS an Ngage emulator for Symbian called N-Gage Cool back around 2005, but the developers site and all sites hosting it have long since stopped working. I found one working link to it on an emulator website, lets just say it was a paradise, but it has gotten nothing but terrible reviews and claims of being a virus. Regardless, there is a precedent for a mobile Ngage emulator.

Thats the N-Gage 2.0 where it was a software platform designed to run on different Nokia phones. I had that on my old Nokia N-95 8gb a few years back. What I am referring to is the N-Gage phone from 2003/2004.
Edit: Or did you mean ngageman? The old emu from 2007 for newer nokia/symbian phones?
Hi.
I'm looking for a game to play in the long term. No specific genre but strategy is nicer.
It has to be a game that I can let go of the phone at any moment, preferably with low battery consumption.
Previously I played Guardian Cross, wasn't very nice in the battery but I could let go of the phone with no problem, but now is ending so I need a new game.
Tried Rage of Bahamut but didn't like the presentation.
Anyone know anything like this?
The game is to play at work in dead times where at any moment I might have to let go of the phone.
Also I don't want to say MMO but something that I have progression and doesn't have any real ending. It's hard to explain.
Thanks in advance.

Although maybe only Game Dev Story might fall under what i want (I already play minecraft), the project Y seems a very interesting full scale RTS that I didn't know about (I was looking for one for my tablet earlier). Many thanks

Very nice game. It's very close to what I need. The battery consumption seem very low and syncs to Google play. But, alas, it has a major flaw. If I lock the screen it loses the connection and I have to restart the app. Since the major thing is that I'm able to let go of the phone at any moment it's almost what I want with that exception.
I'm going to update the first post with more info.
