Working on controls

Almost all comments in Android market were about the bad controls in the game. Initially controls were a bit different, player only moved while you were touching the screen and in the direction you were touching it, but when screen in touched everything goes slow -that's a problem with Android platform, not the game specifically-. There's a trick to solve this but it makes controls a bit unresponsive. The other option is to increase fps and then put a limit, so it looks like there are no problems when touching the screen. I'm working on this, but I would like to know if you think the game would be better with the controls I had planned initially. If you think about other alternatives, please I am open to suggestions.

X-Disc Lite published


As promised, a lite version of X-Disc has been published in Android Market. This isn't a final version, so maybe for the next weeks until full version is published there will be updates for the lite version.



Enjoy playing, suggestions are welcome.

ADC 2 - X-Disc

Ok, since I didn't have time to work in a website I will start posting in this blog about the Fallen Leaf game submitted to the Android Developer Challenge 2 contest organized by Google. That game is X-Disc, an arcade game based on the old Neo Geo game Windjammers. Full version of X-Disc will include 8 different characters, 5 courts, several minigames, highscores... Expect a lite version in Android Market in a couple of days. Meanwhile, here you have the first video of X-Disc -sorry for the poor quality, it was recorded with a PDA camera-.
