On 3GS it runs comparable good. It depends on screen size & resolution vs possible GPU fill rate.

The problem is that some of the devices that where still sold till september 2013 can't handle it. Same for most sold generation of the iPod, the iPod touch 4 (sold from late 2010 till late 2012)

Our main target audience is age 35-45 they might not buy a new phone or tablet every 2 years.

The most important market is the USA - the 3GS was the best selling iPhone there till september 2012. And iOS is much stronger there than anywhere else. When you live in germany you often won't realize that because germany is android country.

Good to know. The most "crap" device I have is an iPod Touch 4 which should fit pretty in that low spec thing. Will use TestflightApp anyway to catch more devices.

Well especially the US are known for their usage of contracts which run out every 2 years. I can't imagine that so many over there still use a 3gs. I know quite a few Americans.

Hehe indeed. Germany is Android country. Our game might be more interesting for americans as we will have us submarines in the Pacific. Well anyway, we'll release it for iOS/Android and WP8 together.

I won't release WOTA for Android or WP8 before the desktop version is out. And even then it is not 100% certain that I will ever do that.

In other words: Android market is all yours without any competition by WOTA

A current statistic shows 25.5% of the iOS devices used by mobile gamers last month are those with fill rate issues (which is the first retina generation: iPad 1, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4th Gen.)

Don't forget that you could buy a new 3GS with a contract just 13 months ago. So there are still many of them out there.

So far we have about 35-40 fps on a Samsung S3, about 50-60 on a Nexus 4. Will check out the rates on a 3gs next.

More screenshots, as the old ones are gone...

A bit away from the island we spot a ship!

Oh v-i-c,
i didn't think that we must fear WOTA. Silent Depth will be a really good game. The game runs and looks outstanding and we have a nice playable GUI.
I wish you all the best by developing WOTA but Silent Depth will be a success on Android, iOS and Windows Phones.

Let's talk about that when it's ready.

That's a difficult question actually...

Sung · 10-31-13, 03:52 PM

Some new things...

Right, fair enough.

Just keep on truckin'! I'm happy with how this looks since I just got an Android and there seems to be no decent naval game on the platform.
