Instancing.. I could kiss you right now.

rofl LIGHTNING BOLD! LIGHTNING BOLD! LIGHTNING BOLT!

this is looking cool and wtf video

Voice commands are better if they're said with a strange accent.

Like a LARP nerd :cool:

lol on my desktop I can use voice commands (not that I use it that much), with Dragon Naturally Speaking. On Zodiac if I have my hotkeys set I can say the letter.. but not as fun as saying 'LIGHTING BOLT!!' :(

F!
U!
F!
U! *parents walk in*

werent you doing that when i was with you on classic that time?

This will be the first ipod game i buy :0
Ill be sure to play it when it comes out to make my Druid Scout ...

I know its probably way too early to even be asking this question but any ETA for release?

We will post an update on the forums when we have one.

Yea I used it on iclassic one day but its no good with movement. Good for rc though.

Can you use an "analogue" thing like this rather than the four directional arrows?

Although I like that idea, I can't say I've had the best experience with those type of controls. Usually I've found that on the iPod, the simpler the better. That's just my opinion though.

You absolutely can, we used something like that on Era iPhone when I was in charge and frankly, it was a lot nicer than the virtual keys now (although we had some stuff in the gun system for strafing that made it viable).

Yep. I look at the directional buttons and they don't look very friendly for diagonal movement, and they cover up more screen real estate than a single analogue with a transparent directional ring.

How much real estate it takes up has nothing to do with analog vs directional, but how large they make the button. In the end though it's all analog and simple snaps your player to a direction(since it just reads where your thumb is from the center).

To solve the button problem perhaps the app could also allow you to set the transparency, size and position? It works for other applications.

Voice command functions would work best for movement.

Your on a bus playing iZodiac.

"LEFT!"
"RIGHT!"
"DOWN!"
"LEFT!"

That'd be cool. Yell out random commands in public. Macro in random voice commands to activate a spell.

I'd set fireball to fire when I say "Oops I pooped my pants". That way when Im in public I could yell "OOPS I CRAPPED MY PANTS" and kill a noob. Who cares if people stare.

I guess the people want voice commands. What do you say jerret? CAN WE VOCALIZE OUR DOOM UPON OUR ENEMIES ON THE iPHONE?

Probably not since the GS2 functionality isn't there. I don't even think you can check how loud the actual input coming even is.

odarn.

Oh man, this game is surely going to attract many players that like MMORPG's.

haha cool

Chris do you have the gfx you used? maybe i can steal!!!

o hi

or instead of 4 skills, just reduce size of hotkey buttn and voila more skills, hoorah! ^^

let's hope zodiac mobile attracts more to PC :D

also let's hope they put grawl on phones w/ android OS

Ehh.. Ever tried the arrow pad on Battle Online or w/e on the small setting? It gets pretty annoying trying to accurately hit all of those. I can only imagine the problems that mashing a bunch of skills like that would cause.

Also, personally I think it would be better if the skills were either lined up along the right side of the screen, or even better, in the shape of a box at the bottom right. Might be more comfortable.
edit: actually the box might just cause problems since the two bars at the top are fairly big. so nvm i guess.

Hopefully you guys make it where the party area is just a tab to be open and closed by touch that way people can get a quick view and stash it back up where it doesn't get in the way. Because what I see in Enchanted Wolf's attached image it seems like party display takes a good chunk of the screen.

You know how you can hold shift and bind skills to the capitilized version of the letter? Why not have a button that you can press to switch between two skill bars so that you can have 8 skills instead of 4.

I doubt how that's the party system would be done, just saying.

Good work :D

Are you going to be paid at all for this?

Update: I personally will not be pursuing this project any further.

yeee more focus on v2! plz tell me it is so jerrot

That's unfortunate :(

Can't blame him. Just look at how Era iPhone and Classic iPhone have been mutated from their parent servers.

Whys that?

Lack of motivation (doesn't help that it feels like a soul-devouring job) mainly and it just doesn't seem worth it.

I love it!
