Lite version coming to iPhone…

After the 1.2 update is made available on the App store, which should be this week (probably tomorrow, if the Apple approval trend stays consistent,) the Lite version will hit next.  Most likely that will hit the store the week after.

We’re pretty excited about the LITE version and the potential new users this will bring to the Archon universe.  It will feature the following:  8 unique characters, play either as Light or Dark, Left handed mode, Smart Aim settings on or off and Accelerometer support.  It gives a good taste of what the full version will be like…and it’s pretty engaging, although the AI setting will be easy, it will give enough strategy and combat to get people hooked.

We’ve got our update schedule outlined, which we’ll average about 1 update and/or feature a week for the next month (if all goes well)…and YES, it includes the Multiplayer version as a 2.0 update.  Since our engine is multi-platform, most of the things we implement will carry over to the PC and other platforms, so if you like the iPhone version, imagine playing with a controller!  Of course, we’ll upgrade many things for the other platforms to fit it, so it won’t be a straight port from one to the next.  We’ll even redo the graphics to fit the platform, so each one will have it’s own unique look.

Can’t wait to see the responses to the 1.2 update.  It’s like Christmas eve for us, waiting for everyone to open the present we’ve taken so much time to prepare and wrap…we can hardly wait.
