Tenderfoot Thahd quesse Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 A few comments: 1) Why is Android not mentioned on the Spiderweb homepage at all? I would have no idea that there was an Android version of Avadon. This is a travesty! 2) I got Avadon for Android in an indie bundle some time back and have been waiting to get a tablet to play it. I got a Nexus 7 for Christmas and have been playing it every day since. It works wonderfully. The 7 inch screen does produce some false clicks occasionally but it way better than the carpal tunnel I was getting on my PC with so many clicks!! (I have it on steam also) So anyway - happy customer. 3) Please tell me that there are further Android releases coming. I have at least 3 Avernum games on steam and Avadon but now that I've played it on a tablet, I can't go back. I would buy an iPad if I could but its too pricey for me. More droid!!

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Mostly covered in the other thread, but... 1. Good question! It's a missed sales opportunity. 2. Great! 3. Probably not. The sales don't justify the work or cost. Humble Bundles might happen in the future, which could mean more Android ports, but other than that Jeff has no current intention of porting. —Alorael, who is sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. Sometimes you have to warm up the ol' desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 last hope is to try to find emulator which runs windows/osx on android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish DanNeely Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If you fall back to the Exile series (original versions of Avadon 1-3); you can play them using a win3.1 emulator on android. http://www.spiderwebforums.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=261147#Post261147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Exile =/= Avadon Avernum = Exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You'd think that Jeff would realize that naming two series with words that start with "Av" would be a bad idea. When Avadon 2 comes out, we're going to have to start talking about AN2 (for AverNum) and AD2 (for AvaDon), to distinguish between the two and fit with our GF (GeneForge) and NG (NetherGate) system of adopting capitals from syllables.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 jeff liked the name and probably didn't want to do another trademark/copyright search after Avadon cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 How much does Avadon Android cost in your currency type ? I saw it as about 500 (INR), which is quite a reasonable buy, and I was wondering whether the price value is a constant for all countries.
