Gameloft’s DRM policy was brought up yesterday after Dave Loft sent tips out to a few sites. I found out about it right away but decided to not post anything about it until thinking it through for a bit. Gameloft’s DRM policy is terrible. It is every developers right as to whether or not they use the Android market for sales but policies like this do no good.
It’s been crazy over here at Droid Gamers with all the great games being released. One title we have been waiting for is Crusade of Destiny by Dvide Arts which is a full scale 3D RPG game for Android using the ShiVa 3D engine. Well the wait is over, it’s out and although we didn’t see it on the market until just now, Dvide Arts reported it’s release on May 24th.
First and foremost, I must say that this is the first 3D isometric RPG I have played on a little screen. I have played many 2D RPG’s and they play very well. With that said 3D isometric does not transition all that well in one glaring and very important area. But with that aside, if this is what we have to look forward to for Android gaming then I must say we are all in luck!
The crew over at Androinica got to demo this great looking game at Google I/O called Skies of Glory which is a 3D FPS aerial combat game set in a more world war era time. It supports both single player as well as multiplayer with up to 8 players at a time and the graphics looks absolutely slick. This is an iPhone port of the game over to Android.
Speaking of quiet releases such as Deadly Chambers by Battery Powered Games, Com2Us also quietly released a new mech 3D FPS game onto the Android market called Heavy Gunner. This game comes complete with some crazy 3D graphics and a ton of weapons for you to use as you blast aliens to bit while they come at you.
The folks over at Battery Powered Games quietly released a 3D OTS (over-the-shoulder) shooter game called Deadly Chambers last night in beta form for public testing. This game supports only OpenGL ES 2.0 and comes complete with multitouch. If you buy the game now, you’ll get the full version for a reduced price to help with beta testing!
It seems Google is still pushing forward to show their commitment to games and gaming on Android. First it was hiring a Game Developer Advocate for Android, then the purchase of LabPixies and now it is a job posting for a Product Management Leader For Games. This job is for a Google position and not completely dedicated to Android, although I’m sure it’ll be a large part of the job.
Tux Rider – Android Edition, developed by Drodin, is a port of the popular linux game Tux Rider 3D. All you Tux the Penguin fans can now race down ski slopes, collecting fish, getting air and earning points while on your belly like a true penguin does. This game features great 3D graphics, fast paced action and like all things linux, is open source!
Space Challenge 3D, developed by Osaris Games, is a racing style game where you navigate your space ship, using the accelerometer, through different 3D levels within a certain amount of time using the accelerometer. Each ship that you can choose from has their pros and cons about them and there s no shortage of replay value for this game either.
I don’t think I’ve seen this type of game available for Android just yet, I could be wrong though. Winds of Steel is a 3D war game where you are a pilot running missions in certain time periods in history. There is everything from dogfights to bombing missions and a blend of both as well as special moves you can do while flying to dodge getting shot down.
