I started making this game on a iphone 3g. As I progressed and added features the only solution possible to keep the framerate up was to use shaders and FBOs which are only available on the later devices (ipod touch 3, ipod touch 4, iphone 3gs, iphone 4 and ipads). The reason why I have waited in answering this question was I was still trying to implement a version for the older generation devices. I managed to get lighting working on 3g iphone / 2g ipod. But when I started adding things like day and night cycles and water flowing, where I was constantly updating the geometry, things started to slow down on these devices even with a short viewing distance. The older generation devices may be able to handle a world explorer with my engine but would not be able to handle large geometry updates done by magic.
Can you do this game compatible with 3rd generation ipod touch 8go... Every new game don't work on this device.. keep working in one of the future best game on iphone
The "3rd Gen" 8gb ipod touch is the same as the 2nd Gen in every aspect. It was just released alongside the actual 3rd Gens (32 and 64gb) so Apple had that market avaliable. So yeah, you basically have a 2nd Gen 8gb, not 3rd.
Instabuy, I can't sufficiently express the gratitude I have for your replies. Hey, why did they improve precessing speed on 32 gigs, rofl cop?
Man, that sucks. I'll probably still have my 2g ipod. If it doesn't support 2g, then is there any chance of a smartphone version as that would be the only other way of me getting this anytime soon.
I'm not sure when the 5th gen touch will be released. But I don't think it will take that long to release ManaCraft.
Awsome awsome awsome awsome awsome awsome awsome !!!!!!!!! :d I'm just glad this games going to be compatible with 3rd gen iPod touches ! I just really hope that it will run smoothly because I am sooo looking forward to this game ! It's going to be like the BEST GAME EVER!!!!! Anyway...... I just really hope that it runs as quick or quicker than Eden does because it just ruins the game if it's glitchy, for example I was really looking forward to minecraft world explorer (this was before I knew that pretty much all of the original features would not be included in minecraft we) and as soon as I got on it it completely failed and ran reaaaally slowly on my iPod ! And I have a 32gb 3rd gen iPod touch !!!!!!! I don't think thats fair My point is that If it runs on 3rd gen and maybe even on 2nd gen iPod touches then I think instabuy will have a LOT of happy customers !!!!! By the way I would happily pay at least 5$ for this game ......one last thing THANKYOU INSTABUY FOR CONSTANTLY GIVING US FEEDBACK TO WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY AND OUR OPINIONS ON HOW THIS GAME SHOULD TURN OUT (it makes my day when I get a reply from instabuy (Hey that rythmed.. )please keep it up ) phew I finally reached the end of my post
It will work on OS 4.1 and up. The reason for this is there exists a bug(?) in the previous versions of iOS that doesn't correctly support a feature of OpenGL I am using. It runs but its horribly slow and I'd rather not have anyone play the game like that.
A variety or tree types would be cool & simple. Slave mobs would be cool. One could order them to build things, and defend.
Video video video video pleeeeaaaaaassseeee Hahahahahahahhahaha I just can't wait for this game to come out !!!! PLEAASE INSTABUY , MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO !!!!!!
