Title: Shining Mobile
Post by: Elvenfyre on May 22, 2005, 02:34:28 pm
As you know, we have 360 by 240 pixels in BABS, and some of your current mobile palms have 320x320 pixel screens.

Does this mean that it would be plausible that in 5 years time we could see a platform on mobiles that the likes of us could put a shining force game onto it?  

What are your thoughts on the current status of this sort of thing?

How would you approach it, launch it as a single game, or perhaps mission based downloads piece by piece that change depending on how you completed the last mission piece....

Would you include a strategy multiplayer arena setting for battles vs your mate, and if so, how would you have this work?

Is it possible to run a true D&D single controller of TEAM based MMORPG, in which the combat I would imagine to be alike to Shining Force?
How does that work so you don't run into the same problems other MMORPGs run into?

Let your imaginations run wild and throw around senseless comments and already answered questions, just to see if there is perhaps a fresh angle on it.

Lastly, if you were to change the shining battle system at the point of the attacker hitting the defender, you were able to do some sort of INPUT, ie, tapping a button as fast as you can to get a higher attack rating, or using a touch sensitive pad to indicate the direction and acceleration of your swing, or emulating certain tones of voice that make different characters morale react differently - what would you do to make these fight scenes interactive and yet not so controllable that they can be taken advantage of?

I think there are yes, but those games do seem somewhat different to the classic Shining Force (like oh so many others :s).

I'm sure my phone has JAVA support, and I know Hannah's does.

I think a traditional Shining-style game would work very well on a mobile - it's turns-based so doesn't have to be very fast, not especially graphically intensive and it doesn't rely on quick reactions, so control issues are almost non-existent. Whether or not an entire RPG for the platform would be viable is another matter altogether, but I think the idea of downloading different battles and so forth is a good idea. Let's do it :newtshappy:
