3D games with accelerometer
 

Hello outthere,
When are ther going to be some more 3d games with accelerometer for the n900,
All there's now is bounce with only 2 tiny levels

Re: 3D games with accelerometer
 

Yes.
Roller Coaster 3D is coming soon.

Re: 3D games with accelerometer
 

Speaking of which, who is the developer of this game? Maybe an "invite" to TMO would be in its place.

Ok, u find the guy, I'll light the stake...

Re: 3D games with accelerometer
 

a better question would be, when is the next update coming :( i wanna see if there's gonna be a 2nd camera use, videocalls, or atleast a better playback compatibility from the naitive media player :(

I really hope that there is an option to control this game with something other than the accelerometer..
Having used an iPhone for 2 years, playing games using the accelerometer just plain sucks. You have to be sitting upright, and have to be directly over the screen. It's only good for a 'cool' factor, moving the entire screen to control a game is not practical.

I'm 99% sure Digital Chocolate is the developer, the iPhone version looks just about the same as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBRW3Naxtak

They don't have any Maemo section yet though.

I don't think that it has to be that way. The program also might offer an intermediate screen saying: "touch on screen when the device is in middle postion". When you feel comfortable sitting on couch or even laying on bed you touch the screen (or press a button or do whatever is needed) and the software registers this position as "flat". Every move out of this position means steering into the desired direction. Might be easy to implement.

You won't find many other mainstream developers making 3D games for the N900 (i.e EA, I-play etc). I've tried contacting quite a few who make decent games for Nokia's symbian platform, and they have all ruled out developing for Maemo.

The main reasons has always been,

- Only N900 currently using the Maemo Platform
- Number of units sold is not easily determined
- Routes to market are unclear
- Difficult to justify allocating resources to it

They have all expressed an interest in Nokia's on-going development, suggesting we may look forward to them developing for future Meego handsets.

Take nothing away from the guys who have been developing games within the repos, they are unsung heros :)

Re: 3D games with accelerometer
 

I'm wondering a little bit what soon means here.
I'm not as young as I once was when I bought that old n900 mobile computer.

By then I was a young man with a lot of hope for the future where open sourced linux would take over the smartphone market and rule the world. But then the cruel reality hit me and the evil world of apples and droids attacked the planet defeating all resistance. My dreams about 3D games on the maemo platform was shattered into pieces and the hopes for a better life was lost in oblivion.

Hear hear. Wish Nokia would show those guys a little more love.

And regarding big guys developing for Meego

Ok some more facts for leaving Maemo and join the MeeGo world after its official release for the N900 (the hope dies at last)
