I would love a wolfquest app...for Ipad...but am not on the family's Ipad much :(
It would be REALLY great if it was also available for Iphone as I use that MUCH more...and I wouldn't mind the smaller screen etc. and would even pay $5 for it!! I love wolfquest :D

I would definitely buy a WQ app. Playing with touch-screen would be an interesting experience.

This is a fantastic idea. I feel as though many people, of every age and audience, are using more and more of these app provided games on their tablets and phones; even more-so than computer games! I don't think interest would be a problem. Most of the WolfQuest audience would surely be interested and other users around the world may find it tempting to try a new app revolving around animals. (There aren't many realistic ones out there for wolf lovers). I personally don't have Ipad products, but I would be interested in having it available for download on Android devices!

If I was concerned of anything, it would be of users unwilling to purchase the app for the requested price. Though keeping in mind, this doesnt compare to some of money scandals people are drawn into with other purchasable apps. The price would be worth it for some.

Thanks for the interesting news!

Well...while I would love it if they had more to it (and it's a possibility for a paid version) but in all honestly I would pay the $5 just to have what the game currently is NOW. Afterall, then this money would go towards the future of wolfquest and many more updates to the game. So in other words I would rather pay now, and wait for more content later.

I also think it would be perfectly doable for iphone as well as ipad...afterall there currently IS a wolf game that works on both devices but it is a VERY inferior game to wolfquest. You can't really do anything in it. I was head over heels when I found this thread regarding a wolfquest app. Please...please make it happen and please, please alo make it available for the iphone. I know other users besides myself would also enjoy playing on it and wouldn't mind the smaller screen. And afterall if it works for both it would be at the option/discretion of the purchaser if the want to use it on both devides or not.

it is, but it would require more work if you want it avaliable for both iPad and iPhone. Because the resolution on an iPhone is so much smaller than an iPad's, it would be such horrible quality if they used the same game for both.

but maybe if they had it on both then it would be easier to gain funding if they ended up using the money from the app for the lexicon and such instead of expanding the app.


EDIT: then again better quality games are probably more likely to get purchased. so i could see it working either way.

?
Did I say they wouldn't have it for both? I said it would be harder to get both. Take Angry Birds for instance. They have an app for the iPhone, and one for the iPad because the quality on the iPad would be so bad if it was expanded to fit the screen.

:/ Forgive me if I'm rude now.. but.. are you insane? Somewhat? WolfQuest as it is, is buggy to no end. It still feels like something important is missing. The windows version still crashes every now and then for unknown reasons. There's a lot of polishment to do.

And yet it is about to be sold? What is this current trend with every developer starting to sell not quite done products?

If they could use the money from the app for funding for the lexicon, etc. I don't think it would matter if WQ had glitches. And you can still avoid most glitches if you're really careful.

Considering one of the poll options is, "Maybe, if it had a lot of improvements and new stuff," I'm not sure if this would be a direct port of the PC game. They might fix some glitches and/or add new things to the iPad game instead of just taking what we already have and throwing it on the iPad. Keep in mind that we don't really have any information other than that the team is considering making it, so we don't know exactly how they'd be going about it if they made the app.

My thoughts exactly...the more widely available it is, the more money it has the possibility of making. Some people have both but some have only an ipad or only an iphone. And purchasing it DOES come down to a matter of choice...myself I would gladly pay the $5 for such an app IF it was also available on the iphone.

Nope...not insane but I LOVE wolfquest...and if we were talking about anything else then no I probably wouldn't pay $5, and in general I usually only get free or .99 games. But for wolfquest I would gladly pay $5 now for the game AS IS (the way it currently has been playing on the pc) if this would help with future funding and future updates for the game.

Yes...wolfquest has bugs...and went through long periods of no updates...but I think they did a terrific job with great graphics and game mechanics and all for FREE!! Just imagine what wolfquest could be if you had to pay for it....and they brought in more money they what they were receiving throuugh donations...so yes...I would gladly pay for this.
