    As of right now, Xenome is only running up to standards on the higher-end devices. It is very likely the first release of the game will only run on the iPod Touch 3rd Gen and 3gs, due to their superior processing power and memory.


    We will continue with optimization through release, however, as we fully intend to get the game running well on lower-end devices.


    Xenome is pushing a lot of boundaries on the platform, and we wouldn't want to leave anyone out in the cold from the experience!

    We have some newer images of Xenome available for your perusal:

    [​IMG]

    (The in-game map. The green arrow does not represent actual player size, nor does the yellow arrow inside of it. Instead of using a tiny spec, which actually would represent player size, we opted for something more visible! Keep in mind that this terrain can be seamlessly navigated, with no loading after booting the game up. That's about 15 square km to dance/maim in)

    [​IMG]


    (A fight to the finish with a Harpy Droid. We pulled out of this one alive, after fleeing in cowardice, of course)

    (A melee showdown with a Nuker Warrior. His bite is actually worse than his bark)

    Lucky guys also, why don't you guys try to release the game for all devices but make the older ones have loading times or something like that?

    Building for 2nd Den Devices

    @iVaro - Our main focus over the next few weeks will be getting the game to run on 2nd Gen devices. I know that there are tens of millions of users on that platform and we would love for those users to experience Xenome. I have a 1rst Gen iPod!

    The thing that is most difficult is that we have a huge seamless open world. You can literally walk around for 30 minutes constantly exploring new territory. And all that happens without loading screens. We currently believe that we will be able to achieve this on the 2nd Gen devices. If we can, everyone wins!

    Steve Tanner
    Xenome Executive Producer

    iVaro - You'll be on the top of our list for 2nd Gen Beta users!
