As some of you may or may not know, the Hedgewars team is working in collaboration with Zodttd to bring their game Hedgewars to the iphone platform. What I wanted to do is give you some information on Hedgewars, and hopefully get you a little excited about its eventual release.
So What is Hedgewars?
Hedgewars is a turn based, multiplayer, strategy game based on the ever so wonderful Worms Armageddon. In Hedgewars players take it in turns to control their team of hedgehogs, wielding a variety of wacky weaponry in order to annihilate the other team(s)! You can try the windows/linux versions over at Hedgewars (although we have progressed greatly from the current official release.)
Hedgewars on the iphone will hopefully implement a fun and innovative control scheme. Utilizing all the features of the iphone, finger movements will control your hedgehog, taps and swipes will control your weaponry, want to alter the angle of your parachute drop? Just tilt the phone!
So what's a thread without media, well I have some pictures for you here:
Omg it IS worms! Ive never played it with the hedgehogs but it looks exactly the same. Omg if this actually turns out really well I'll never put my phone down! I hope it doesnt cost money though :/
If we get the app into the app store, obviously there will be a fee. But if that does happen I want to release it free via installer along side the app store release for those people brave enough to jailbreak their iphones.
The movie above is taken from the PC version, I'm absolutely horrible at making movies, and was playing at a high resolution at the time, hence the tiny pictures that you can barely see. Rest assured the game can run at any resolution and will look nice and crisp, easy to see and easy to use on the iphone.
The controls should be fine, aside from roping, the movement in hedgewars is relatively slow, games rely more on forethought and strategy than twitch movement gameplay and I've been planning the touch screen controls for some time to make sure they're comfortable and not following the gimmick over gameplay trend!
It's great to hear your enthusiasm.
We're hoping to keep the network play present in the iphone version, so hopefully soon enough I'll be playing against some of you guys online!
