its a shame you couldn't have done this using Flash and then converted over to Adobe Air. That would run on iOS.

It's pretty much because of Java not being supported by iOS and I don't have the time to learn obj-c

hehe i thought as much. obj-c looks like such a hurdle with its new syntax.

so i looked into it a bit and if you are using opengl to render the sprites. then you wont need to learn obj-c beyond putting a few hooks into the little boilerplate which is generated for you by x-code. obj-c opens the app & creates a window/canvas then its c++ all the way. hmmm i wonder if a simple 2d opengl ES sprite library would be a good open-source project?

anyway, great looking little game, keep it up!

hope that helps,
sean

Welp, I use native JDK, OpenGL would be too useless for a project this tiny (pun)

Even so, Android porting will be way easier than an iOS one and expect both Android and iOS ports this summer!

[JasonPickering]

my biggest problem with Android is the crazy amount of Screen Sizes.

Android screen sizes
iOS screen sizes

Yeahh... that's a  total bitch too

on the other hand, good news! I finished automated palette loader

Extension: .pal, .PAL
Line 1: Palette name
Line 2-5: COLOR_BACKGROUND, COLOR_BLACK, COLOR_GRAY and COLOR_WHITE in order

Getting the palette demo video uploaded!

I have to say this is awesome. Keep up the good work!

[Quarry]

Thanks! I'm trying to get music and sounds done, along with some spells and more dungeon content, that'll be the release I suppose (in 2-3 weeks)

[Conker]

I love this!

[BlueSweatshirt]

Anticipating this greatly!

Are you going to let users create their own palettes? 

[Quarry]

Totally, also the game's release is really really soon

I've had a lot of other stuff so I couldn't work much on it

[UncleDec]

What engine you use to develop it?

[Quarry]

Nothing, I developed it from scratch (literally from zero bytes)

Also there's been problem with netbeans, which removed most of the new code I wrote during a 6 hour session. I was working with some other source code and unchecked save on build which caused around 2 hours of code to poof.

I'm not sure if I'll write it again...

[Eigen]

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

You are so near to completion. Put on some coffee and do it!

[Quarry]

Will see..
