Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
Well it is on the development (not the release) board for a good reason. After some thinking, I admit that it is actually more thought through than I initially thought - my bad. :)

But I'm still wondering how many people would play that on mobile phones or pads.

Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
I'm not involved in this in any sort. :confused:
I don't have any skills that would be helpful for this. Some nice guy named lubomir made it; and ksotar only released it (atleast I understand the OP that way).

I guess lubomir could give it a try, if there would be enough motivation for him. Which an almost year old thread with few comments is apparently not.

 
Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
Does lubomir even have an account on HLP - perhabs under a different name? Membersearch doesn't return anything, and unless some caretaker suddenly appears there won't be any further progress for a long time, if ever.

No he does not. When we talked about it, he said he can appear someday if there will be significant interest.

I guess 30 ppl petition or a kickstarter campaign has some chance :)

 
Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
Do you still have contact? I mean, the original post was almost a year ago; and TBH the number of people posting here since then is rather limited...

Yes I still have, but have not pinged since then.

 
Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
Have you thought about starting a poll who would use this if it was made? In total there have been 8 people posting in this thread so far, but I'm not sure if everyone of them would play on pads or phones or - like me - is just interested in seeing something cool being made without directly intending to use it. Of course porting a game to other engines might allow to grow the player base, but currently it seems more like a niche (mobile users) within a niche (FS2).

Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
Well, that's kinda an idea. How do you think, should I start a new thread or to poll here?

 
Re: Android port of Freespace 2 works (demo inside)
I'd do something like "Are you interested in playing FS2 on mobile phones or pads?"
-Yes
-Yes, but only if it can run FSO
-Maybe I'll try this at some point
-No
-Don't care

Since it's unrelated to this thread (which is about the current retail port and not a to-be-developed feature), I would start a new one, probably on a board that attracts more viewers than the Cross-Platform Development subboard where the first page goes back to 2012; maybe General FS Discussion?

You can drop the resolution using "Power Saving" mode in the Galaxy  phones.

Eh?   :wtf:  Why wouldn't they just run a Linux distro?  Are you talking about Chromebooks?

I'm pretty sure there are charts where you can see the market share of pretty much every OS.

Sure, but why development on the Android port has stopped?
