Are there plans for a mobile version of H&H?

Post by Vnalor »

The game got lots of potential on a mobile platform.
Will jorbtar remain on developing the game solely for pc?
A mini-version would be really good for android T_T T_T.

lots of potential for a mobile platform? Did you even play the game?

Everything.
It would be a great shift from typical mmos that sit around focusing on money than player experience.

Well, that explains it! Glad we had this deep, topic-exhausting, discussion.

With this logic any PC game would have a great potential for the mobile

Eh, why do I bother, should have just replied with a simple "no" or left the topic unanswered forever

Would technically probably run on any java enabled device, but the UI is a different question. I don't know that the UI could meaningfully be converted to a mobile platform, but that may be my lack of imaginative power.

Crop harvesting/replanting, silk-making, metal-critting, tree farming, steel-making... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whale scouting+cheesing, and crashing on nVidia GPUs.
Those are just a few, of course.

They'd be some cool mobile minigames imo.

Also building a cool big village and decorating it.

Are we talking about a new mobile game inspired by HnH or about mobile version of HnH?

It'd make some of the time requirements a lot less unreasonable for a human being with a life to keep track of, but only because now you can be playing hafen essentially any time rather than it not aggressively demanding your attention

If anything now it could demand even more of your attention

There are maybe 100 000 new mobile games being released every day. There is no way anyone would play HnH on mobile for numerous, numerous reasons. Those 100 000 games are designed for sole purpose of addicting you and to be played on mobile. Mobile players look for small short gameplay pieces not for 4 hours of boating around.

Yes.

Nah but imagine if there was a game inspired by it, having the things I listed (+ some more) as mini-games that earn you money, which you get to spend on building the larpy village you can't have in haven because of the wipes, pvp, or inability to take a break from the game cause your shit gets deleted.
