DEVLOG - 012
The title says it all guys...
Colorful Dino is now available on Android and distributed for FREE via Google Play!
Doing this port wasn't easy guys... I faced various difficulties such as:
- Making the game work and look Pixel Perfect on any device resolution: the required minimum is 640x360 but the game could still be playable in lower resolutions too.
- Rethinking the Input System to work in conjuction with the UI Controller Buttons used to control the Player on the device.
- Designing a lot of icons for the APK, and make screenshots in different resolutions to meet all store requirements.
- Integrate Google Play Games Services APIs...
- And a lot more...
But... YES guys... I did it!
Now, let's talk a bit about what the differences are with the Desktop version of the game.
MOBILE VERSION
- It is Free-To-Play, Ad-Supported and only supports 1 Player mode.
- You have to watch an Ad in case you lose the game and decide to continue.
- Includes support for Google Play Games Services for saving Scores online.
- Includes Colorful UI Controller Buttons that will change color based on your Dino's color!
DESKTOP VERSION
- It is Paid, Ad-Free and supports 1 Player and 2 Players modes.
- Includes support for Itch API for User Authentication and DRM (Digital Rights Management) system.
- Includes support for Game Jolt Game API for saving Scores online.
There may be other differences but these are the main ones.
I really want to give everyone the opportunity to play the game!
I think that the Free-To-Play and Ad-Supported formula is a better compromise for everyone, especially in these tough times with COVID.
I did my best to put a Colorful Dino in your pocket...
If you have any issues with this specific version just let me know on Discord!
And that's it for now!
Enjoy!
