Android

[tonyle]

Can't believe no one has asked this yet! (Perhaps few Android users know about this wonderful game.) I was a long-time Palm user and recently switched to Droid, leaving my WI experience behind. Are there any plans to support the Android OS?

[elamre]

no, srsly why keep people asking this?

[scottlu]

tonyle, I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping to see the market develop a little more. With all the recent Android activity in the marketplace, it looks like it is heating up.

[Spatuli]

I'm getting an android smartphone in the next few days, the new phones coming out running android are pretty slick, so I seriously recommend considering an android version.

if not for the fact that being cross-platform is nice, but also for the fact that there's an android app store as well, and you'd be the first game of this type on the market (dont quote me on that)

[N@TE]

What is an Android?

[val]

Android is an operating system found on newer smart phones.

[scottlu]

Good point Spatuli.

[HamilSt]

I used to use to play this game all the time on my Dell Axim X50v and it was great. I would really like to start playing it on my new Google Nexus One. There is a game on the market called "Robo Defense" that is pretty fun but it doesn't compare to Warfare Inc. If you want, I can start developing the Android version for you. Just give me a call and I will get started on it.

[51Cards]

I have to add another voice for an Android version, especially with the new JIT compiler added to version 2.2 it should run very well.

I used to play WI years ago when I had my Sony NX80 and I was completely hooked. Time moved on and so did I to other devices and I have never found anything as addicting. I will be your first purchaser if you release an Android version, no questions asked.

Good to see this community and game is still thriving.

Yeah same here , Galm. It'll be like inter-competition within the same service, and the iPhone is so well know that it will probably beat the Droid. I hope Apple does sign with Verizon though.

[galm]

Yeah they would get much coverage.

lol Quite hilarious. First off open your eyes to the other markets in the world, not just the US. The fact that the iPhone is only on AT&T in the US has no bearing on the rest of us.

Secondly the Android market presently supports over 60 hardware devices across a dozen manufacturers, all of which are releasing new devices continuously. It's really pretty much a given that market share is going to slide to the widest device support, especially since Google is pushing new versions of the OS out at several increments a year. On top of that in the next quarter there will be almost 2 dozen 'tablet' style devices launched on the Android platform in direct response to the popularity of the iPad.

Last quarter Android devices grew their market share by 23%. iPhone grew it's market share by 7% in the same time frame.

I don't deny that the iPhone / iPad invigorated the mobile world, but Apple is quickly getting swamped by an open market. It's just sheer numbers, one manufacturer with one platform can't stay ahead of an open market being heavily influxed by hundreds of hardware and software makers.

[galm]

First off I am aware it's just the US but since I'm here i don't care about other policies and a huge portion of the market is here. Also for market growth those numbers are ignorant, droid is new so new grows look at apple in it's early stages, it exploded. Android grows cause it's still emerging.

[trineroks]

iPhone needs to get Verizon. I can't stand ppl griping over AT&T's terrible coverage ><

[galm]

iPhone 4 will own droid.

[N@TE]

What do you guys think of the new Droid X? It has a 4.3 inch screen, an 8 mega-pixel camera for 720p video shooting, and it supports Adobe Flash Player. If Apple ends up signing with Verizon, I wouldn't know which one to chose: iPhone 4 or Droid X.

If you don't know much about the Droid X, click here for an article about it.

[galm]

Dude iPhone 4 has retina vision, iPhone even with AT&T it's so much awesomer.

[N@TE]

Galm, it's Retina Display, not Retina Vision. We all have retina vision, it's in our eyes!

Here's how I look at the iPhone 4 versus the Droid X:

â–º Screen display
- iPhone 4: Retina Display: A super-sharp screen display at 960 by 640 resolution
- Droid X: 4.3" screen: .8" bigger than the iPhone 4 which has a 3.5" screen
â–º Camera
- iPhone 4: A front facing camera for video chats. You must be on wifi and have another iPhone 4 on the other end.
- Droid X: 8 megapixel camera. iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera, however the Droid X does not have the front facing camera.
â–º Inside the phone:
- iPhone 4: A4 processor chip which makes the phone much faster.
- Droid X: Is Adobe Flash player compatible (once version 2.2 comes out), which the iPhone 4 is not.

All the the Droid X aspects are listed in my previous post, but this time I simply put them in comparison to the iPhone 4.

There is also the Evo, but that is basically the Droid X for Sprint only it has 4G capability and and front facing camera.

[icedmocha]

The above was hardly a valid comparison. Time willtell how tthis plays out, but WIC should be on droid.

[galm]

But more people r used to iPhones and flash player is being replaced, alot of things can run on iPhones now, and yeah I meant retina display lol.

[joefuss90]

I have played WI since 2004 or 2005 on a Compaq ipaq and a Plam t5. both are broken now and I haven't played for a couple years. Now i own a Blackberry 8530 and the Motorola Droid. I'd love to play this game again. On my list of favorite RTS games its #2 behind C&C Redalert. When could we see this awesome game ported to the Android OS?

[DBZ-GOKU-]

If you had any real logical reason as to why the iPhone 4 is better people may listen to you a bit more. You need to directly compare them, as N@te did. I plan on getting the Evo since I have sprint, and have already played around with my sisters as well, and it is amazing, epecially the 4g network Sprint has to offer. As icedmocha has stated though, only time will tell what the market demand ends up being.

[galm]

Nateput enough specs, and I didn't rly it thought that post I think droid has potential and I first thought iPhone 4 would shoot it down but it sucks so I'm not sure, plus droid basically tried to take the iPhone and do everything a tiny bit better, so I don't know or care where I stand, also hi DBZ u haven't posted in forever.

[owensct]

Hi All,

In respects to the iPhone versus Android based devices the discussion of which is better or which is going to win out over the other is irrelevant to this topic which is a request for a release of Warfare Inc or at least the developers thoughts in regards to a release of Warfare Inc for the Android platform.

Could someone from the company respond as to what the status or thoughts are on this query?

For those of you who want to continue the raging debate of iPhone versus Droid there are lots of venues dedicated to people flaming each other back and forth all day long on that topic. As individuals who all like Warfare Inc regardless of platform can we stick to the topic at hand?

No offense

Thanks

Gordon

[N@TE]

I found a phenomenal article on Yahoo about not just Droid phones, but Android OS powered phones in general.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_gadg/20100813/tc_ytech_gadg/ytech_gadg_tc3422

I really think that having this app for at least the majority of popular Android OS phones would be a wonderful investment. Android is growing really fast, and so would this app on that platform.

[DBZ-GOKU-]

I finally got my new Android powered phone, the Sprint HTC EVO 4G. It is amazing in every aspect but one...it doesn't have Warfare Incorperated on it!

[galm]

I didn't know u were still here glad u feel that way.

[mclear3000]

I re-registered for the first time in years to simply say "android please!"

The few people in the forums who feel android is a fad and merely waiting to be killed by Apple have underestimated the power of a good, open platform OS. Any phone manufacturer with good hardware don't have to build their own software - they have android OS. The quarter that Apple released the Iphone 4, they had their best quarter ever. And Android still outsold it.

Fragmentation in the Android market with all those manufacturers using the droid OS was a potential problem that Google anticipated nicely. They added scaling code so developers don't have to manage screen size and resolution. And the marketplace automatically filters software that won't run on your device, so if you code to a specific minimum spec, you won't be seeing frustrated users wanting their $$ back because it doesn't run. If you developed for 1.6, for example, it would be compatible w future versions.

Per the April 2010 Mobile Metrics report, there were 8.7 million Android versus 10.7 million iPhone devices in the US, and 11.6 million Android versus 27.4 million iPhone devices world wide. With Android outselling Apple, how long before the figures flip? Pretty dramatic numbers for a "fad." True, apple iOS still has 80% of the mobile device OS market, but they have to count iPones, iTouch, iPad and all the rest to get to that percentage. Looking at only phones for the moment, Android is more than nipping at their heels in the phone market. And once we start to see serious pad development, they'll take a run there as well.

So, the customers are definitely out there, and I'd be the 2nd one to pony up the money. PLEASE RELEASE AN ANDROID VER! I haven't been able to play since Palm days, and I'm really missing WI.

Thanks!

[galm]

How was apples sales when it was begginning, droid is on the new side.

[DBZ-GOKU-]

I'm with mclear3000, I want to play WI again!

As for Galm's comment, Android is not new. The first iPhone was released in June of 2007 and the first Android powered phone was released in September of 2008; so the iPhone has been out a little over three years while Android has been out a little over two years, hardly "new." Also, Andriod is based off of Linux, and was started back in 2005. Not sure when the iPhone development actually started, but it was after Apple's CEO urged them to look into touch screen technology.

To answer galm's question specifically though, the iPhone reached the 4 million mark after six months, while the G1 (first Android powered phone) had 1.5 million pre-orders.

Can we get WI for Android devices please?

EDIT: Changed so I don't sound so harsh and condescending.

[galm]

Lol sry it was a question.

[Pushwall]

I played and beta-tested WI way back when on my Palm IIIc. I'm now using a Droid X and WI would rock on that system. I'm another gamer who desperately needs WI ported to Android.

No. I was thinking about porting one of the games I was working on though, will need to get my cousin to help out again, so we'll see.

I saw you on the Android forums. My name over there is Vanquished.

I'm loving my iPad and WI, .... i even loved it with Windows Mobile back in a day.

I'd even be willing to pay double the iTunes store price.

[DBZ-GOKU-]

I'd be willing to pay more as well, seeing as how back in the day it was what, $30?

Some Android users would probably complain if the price was different though, as we have seen with other ports.

[galm]

Thirty bucks? Hey dbz are you over 9000?

[trekkie1701c]

Just upgraded today to an Android phone (helps when it's free ), and wouldn't mind being able to play the game on it - it was a fairly enjoyable way to play it in my down time. I can still play it on my old Palm Centro, but aside from the free cost of upgrading, that phone is old and is starting to fail. Eventually I'm going to have to give up entirely on it, and I'm not buying a device to play one piece of software.

Maybe all the devs are apple nerds, I don't know. I'm not going to argue which phone is better or not, but a lot of us do use droids. Whether the iPhone is going to start outselling is kind of a moot point or not, since most people can't afford to spend several hundred dollars every time a new device comes out and are going to be stuck on their current phone for a few years, and the droid does have a respectable market share at the moment (latest figures I found put it around 17% compared to the iPhone's 23% and Palm's 6% (which likely includes WebOS which is not supported)). I'd say some money could be made from exploiting it.

Unless, of course, someone comes out with a Palm OS emulator for Android, in which case we'll all just run it in that And it seems like a lot of people that ditched Palm when they switched to Web OS went to the Android platform

[elamre]

treckie you forget that this game also runs on all the iPod touches. which means it are even more devices, i don't have exact numbers, but i think its more then android devices 1 on 3 people on my school have an i-device. but i guess thats not the point of this topic :p.
also, porting shouldn't be too hard right? both are ARM 6 devices, you'll only need to change the software a bit, and the controls. but who am i to say that? :p

[trekkie1701c]

Well even when you include iPod touches and iPads, still have to contend with the fact that Android runs on a ton of different devices from a ton of different manufacturers on a ton of different carriers, and it's gotten to the point where they're literally giving them away (that's how I got mine), and not just in contests

Plus also if they decide to look at it on a world market, Android sales have also passed those of devices powered by iOS.

Like I said, not going to argue the merits of each OS, but look at it this way: Basically everyone who has access to a smartphone has access to an Android-based smartphone. And when it comes time to upgrade they're looking at $50 - or less - to get a new one; or if they decide to just take the dive and buy one off of contract, it costs $200+ to get a relatively recent iPhone whereas an Android-based device is probably going to run you $150 or so, if you go for the cheaper ones (sure, the Nexus phones cost $500 or so but if you want to go high end, but still $70 cheaper than getting a fully decked out iPhone 4).

Now, not arguing that Android is going to overtake iOS, or that it's the best mobile OS out there, or anything like that... but honestly, it's market share is not negligible. You could really make some money selling this game on it, especially since there's no really good RTS games for the Android at the moment

[DBZ-GOKU-]

Seeing as how there is no "real" RTS game on Android at the moment, sales would be pretty successful, especially if you keep it at the $1 price. Sales would continue for some time even with other RTS games with updated HD graphics as well. No need to add any new features, units, etc, just update the graphics and port it over and you'll have a huge success.

[micheldell]

If not for the fact that being cross-platform is nice, but also for the fact that there's an android app store as well, and you'd be the first game of this type on the market. All the enhancements very tool to provide to change to take or replace it .

[Matixsz]

Please , make an android version, most devices with android OS had HVGA whitch is smiliar to iPhone 3G resolution, I had Xperia x8 device and I would see the First Real Time Strategy Game on it. Think about milions of ppl who would buy this game. You could get a lot of money! And everybody with android OS will be happy seeing it on their devices... You don't need to change resolution to WVGA , just let's stay at HVGA.

Post from Poland , from big fan of this game.

[$Dolar]

I thought than this game already is. I`m still waiting for this. It must be 4 android because i love this game

[trekkie1701c]

Might note that Android has now edged out iOS in terms of market share (not just sales per month now, but actual market share). There are now more Android phones than Apple phones in the United States. If iOS is a big enough market for Warfare Incorporated to show up on, then Android definitely is

EDIT: Reread through this thread about some of the comments where Apple's iOS exploded on release, and that Android is no different; as well as Verizon getting the iPhone "meaning death for Android".

First off, Android's growth is actually quite a bit higher than iOS's growth (though admittedly it hasn't hit the peak that iOS did).

Secondly Android-based phones are on pretty much every US carrier - not just one or two.

Thirdly, while Apple is trying to figure out the iPhone 5, multiple companies are coming out with high end phones to compete with one another and really the high end debate right now is which one coming out is the best. To give an example of one, LG's coming out with a dual-core phone which knocks the pants off of the iPhone 4 - which is not too surprising as the iPhone 4 is estimated as about 800mhz on it's processor and the newer LG phone is a dual-core 1ghz (so it's going to be twice as powerful). Another comparison point would be that LG's lowest end phone (the one I have, the LG Optimus One family) runs only slightly slower than the iPhone 4 and can easily be overclocked to match it in speed.

The next PSP will be running Android as well, so there will definitely be a demand for new games on the platform.

I don't care whether you think Android will maintain market dominance or not, but there are going to be a lot of very powerful devices - some of which will be geared towards gaming - looking for a nice game to play. If Spiffcode doesn't want a slice of the pie that's fine, but I think they stand to make a lot of money from it

EDIT part 2:

Decided to actually use my poking stick to poke some people for an official response, and this is what I got:

Quote:

I'm never going to say never. It's an official maybe.

I agree it makes sense to do, and I love the game and continue to work on it in the time that I have. It will probably happen, I just don't have a time for you.

I hope that answers your question.

Scott

So: Not yet, maybe in the future I guess.

[Dr. Diggles]

Please make for Android! Some my friends have android phone and are disappointed they don't have this game. They watch me play and whoop up on all of you, and they like "That looks like fun, wish my phone had that game"

[hgn]

Yes, another request for Android version. I used to be a Palm owner and paid for it on the Palm. Now I have switched to the Android, and will be happy to pay for it again. Thanks in advance.

[DBZ-GOKU-]

Any news about an Android version?

From this list of games I update regularly, you can see the few "RTS" games available on Android:
http://androidforums.com/android-games/216857-android-games-list.html

Strategy - Real Time (5)
--Art of War 2 - HeroCraft Ltd - $3.19* - 3 stars
--Castle Warriors - GameResort - $2.99 - 3.5 stars
--Crusaders - Dancing Cat Development - $3.40 - 3 stars
--Defend Homeland - ESC Mobile - $4.80* - 4 stars
--Galcon - Hassey Enterprises, Inc. - $2.99 - 4.5 stars

The only one that can be considered a true RTS is Crusaders, which doesn't even compare to Warfare Inc. There are a couple other RTS games, but like 10x worse than the ones on that list.

Hopefully the developers of this awesome game read this.
A company called Openfeint is offering funding to game
developers to port their game to android. I know this is probably the equivalent of selling out, but what the hell why not suggest it. I own an android phone and havent played warfare in 2 years and i refuse to
buy an iPhone. There's a lot of people looking for a game like this on
Android who would be willing to pay $2.99 for it.

[warprice]

Yeah the game maker of this should do look into it

[galm]

Lol why do u refuse to buy an iPhone? Maybe scottlu refuses to port it, he hasn't said anything about android rly.

I played Warfare Inc on both Palm and Pocket PC Platforms. It is still the best mobile game I have ever seen. I now have an Android and would gladly pay again for the provelidge to get this excellent game again.

I am a huge fan. I played Warfare on all my palm devices. Add my vote for an Android version. I would definitely buy it.

[trevis757]

I paid 30 bucks for this app back when it was on Palm and Pocket PC. Went to a Windows phone from palm and only kept windows on my HD2 to play this game. I had bunches of extra user made maps and all. Then one day it just doesn't work at all. Input the code from my old email, no go. So i wiped Windows of the phone and its all Android. Now you don't even do palm or windows? Whats the deal. Android is a great platform, who are you guys foolin'?

[hgn]

With Android grabbing 59% of the market in the latest quarter, vs. 23% for iPhone and 2% for Windows phones, I do not understand why there isn't an Android version. I used to play it everyday on my Palm. Now that I own an Android phone, I have been checking every month to see if there is an Android version, and have been repeatedly disappointed. I wish the developer would come out and let us know his plan.

Phone market shares were obtained here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/idc-q1-2012-world-smartphone-share/

[WyattEarp]

I believe the issue with creating the Android version may be the amount time and investment with creating and supporting the multitude of screen resolutions and diverse hardware configurations out there. Also, the developer has to be well versed in writing for the platform. So, while many here may want it, you have to take in account all the factors that go into creating and supporting any type of software which none of us have to deal with.

I am a long time player of WI from Palm to WM and now iPhone. So I understand why some software titles and games don't always make it to the platforms we like and use regardless of how popular they may be. I have several on my wish list which have not appeared on iOS or Android yet.

[Zachyenwaykins]

I used to play this on my clie tj27, best game ever. Hopefully the team would do it again for the android users. My friend also played it and the multiplayer was awesome, my clie had to buy an extra wifi stick for that, but it was worth it. Sadly though my pda had no sound due to not having speakers =D
It was said that if there is suppport it would be considered, so here I am.

[WyattEarp]

Unofortunately, after doing some searching around the forums it seems that there is only one person behind this great game. And considering he can only work on this part-time I don't know if an Android version much less an updated iOS version will be coming anytime soon. In either case I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I just figured I'd register my emphatic support for an Android version. I switched to Android a while ago and this is the only app I really miss.

It'd be a great opportunity to make some money. There are currently no good RTS games for Android - I know I'd personally pay $10 without a second thought. If money's not a concern, I hope some consideration is given to making the game open source so somebody else can work on a port.

I read somewhere (if I'm in the mood later I'll find it) that Scott said if an android version was ever released, it would be linked with the same server. So to my knowledge, yes android and iphone users woill be able to vs if an android version is ever made.

Scott, if you read this, I know your busy, but make the game open source as quick as you can Once it's made open source that will open up so many new doors for this game.

Hi.
I too am on android. Loved playing this on my Tapwave Zodiac and havent found anything quite like it or as good on android.

Not planning on moving OS but is WI available elsewhere?

Reading posts feels unlikely to open up on Android but I too would pay money!

Is kickstarter an option?

Guess it comes down to the developers time, interest and finances and that's OK, open sourcing might help too I guess.

Its a classic game I'd love to play again & again especially with you crazy map editing folks out there creating new challenges.

I think they wanted to say "we present a...". Scammers normally have bad grammar. They clam the hack gives you unlimited money. What decides how much you have is coding in each map. You couldn't hack multiplayer maps since they are on the server as well as your device and the server knows if they get out of sync. It is possible to get unlimited money on single player maps, but you wouldn't hack it like they want you to on hackpuls.com, what you'd do is... oh never mind

Main Hack Instruction:
1. Download Warfare Incorporated Hack from link below.
2. When, you find links, choose iOS or Android option Download.
3. OK, after finish download, you must open [iOS or Android]_hack.rar
4. Now you must connect Device to PC.
5. After connect, move files from .rar to internal memory(iOS) or to SDcard(Android).
6. The hack must be in …/data/Warfare Incorporated/(there).
7. OK. now let’s start hack!

1. The links take you to a side that you have to take a survey to unlock the download. They get money for you taking the surveys, and it won't unlock your download after you take any survey.
2. They make it out like they have a Warfare Inc hack for the andoid version of warfare inc. There is no android version.
3. I have nothing to say about #3.
4. I have nothing to say about #4.
5. I don't think iOS or andoird support reading rar files...
6. There is no file path called …/data/Warfare Incorporated/(there), Warfare Inc is in var/mobile/applications/
7. 4. I have nothing to say about #7.

I find it hard to believe that you can just hack it to work for Android.

I believe you think this hack makes the game usable on android. No, it doesn't. The hack is intended to give you unlmited money (if it worked and it wasn't a scam).

Doesn't the user interface have to be redesigned because of the lack of a stylus on Android phones?

Warfare Inc would need to be redesigned for an android version, but not because of the stylus lack -- Warfare Inc runs on iPhone and you dont need a stylus for an iPhone.

If you don't have programming knowledge do not try that, its probably fake.

They just wan't you to take surveys so they get money. Even if you took the surveys and the file downloaded (which is very unlikely), the rar file (which is an archive file) would probably be password protected.

Im well aware of how they work, and they can be legitamate, but this one is definitely fake.
I have seen one my friend got a 20 dollar gift card from, but that was lucky.

Count me in on the Droid version; cash in hand. Came to the website tonight to purchase, and was surprised there's not Android version. Been a long time player on Palm OS (2005!), and even used to organize multiplayer sessions that would get people hooked and they would buy. The Palm version lets you host multiplayer on a registered game, then people could join using the demo version. I also used to battle against guys using the Pocket PC version. We have four iPhones (three 5c, one 4s), and two Android phones in the family, and I know if I get it, the rest will follow.

Oh, and I'm a former beta tester who is used to NDA's (hint, hint)

As far as I still know, theres no plans from Spiffcode to create an android version.
We can only hope that someone who knows C++ and Java will be willing to port this to android after it is open sourced.

I have some friends that I know would play if an android version was released.

Here's a video of a port to Android. I haven't heard from him for awhile so I don't know if he's active. Post encouraging comments on his video:

Wow that's really neat, but I have one question, will android users be able to play with iPhone users ?

[Redscorpion8]

And I think getting a android version will get many more people which is great right now, I have a friend who wanted this game but he had a android

[aaronpg97a]

I think I am just going to go to MetroPCS or something, buy an Android and play on it, unless I steal my fathers phone and tell him he lost it. Decisions Decisions.
