New platform needed - cellphone/mobile?
category: general [glöplog]
Developing for Mophun would be rather pointless, as you aren't allowed to spread stuff for free!
@kufa.scarab: I consider mophun the fastest available .api. BREW is nice also, but who the heck uses BREW phones in Europe?
@sdw: Yeah. You've got a point there. As mentioned before, the DRM with mophun sucks big time. Though seeing all current commercial games also being distributed freely on the web, I think there would be ways to distribute self-written stuff without Synergenix and for free. . .

Why couldn't there be just one "Mobile phone category" and then several sub categories like "Nokia 3510i", "Nokia 4096",... ? (or something like that...i don't know how compatible the mobile-productions are... maybe "Mobile Java" etc, would be better. Anyway... u get da idea)
Then it won't clutter the platform-dropdown list, but it would be possible to find what you're looking for.
That shouldn't be too hard to code.
(If the coder of this site won't make any mobile-categories, does anyone know an adress to a mobile demo-scene site?)

i think the BEST solution could be the category/subcategory solution, like:
PC - MsDos
PC - Windows
Console - Xbox
Console - DreamCast
Amiga - PPC
Amiga - AGA
Amiga - ECS
Handheld - GBA
Handheld - Ti-8x
etc. etc. etc.
but that would require effort from analogue, and *sigh* we all know what that means...

AT&T set the cap on 60kb for mophun it can acctually handle up 120kb or something like that. But that will probably change.
If we had a way to submit new platforms, then Analogue wouldn't need to be involved so much. New platforms should probably be reviewed by a moderator before being applied to the system, though.
