ios: iphone 6 plus support?

Postby xjames » Wed Sep 10, 2014 9:34 pm

with the huge real estate of the iphone 6 plus size, would the developers consider adding support for it on the ios version?

thanks!

I registered just to bump this post :) Would it be possible to add support for the iPhone 6 Plus?

Bump as well. I can see other games going iPhone 6 Plus-only too. I am surprised that Apple hasn't already made a new section in the store for these types of games. If we got this, I would buy an iPhone 6 Plus over an iPhone 6 in a heartbeat.

I too registered just to post in this thread.

Put in many hours on steam, then on the excellent ipad release.
I have no words for how badly I'd love to have FTL in my pocket all day long.

Wonderful and kind dev team, hear out begs :>

Yep me too! I think I have well over 120 hours combined! Please oh great FTL gods, grace us with thine excellence!

I really want this too, but I emailed the dev team and this was their response:

"I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying our game but unfortunately we will not be pursuing any version for phones. It's true that there's probably a way to have a game similar to FTL on such small screens, but from our testing it's not possible to get an experience that would be up to our standards. There's simply too much information required to be shown at any given time. Sorry about that."

I hope they take a look at this thread and at least give it a second look.

I was thrilled to hear Hearthstone was being ported to iPhone 6+. Don't play a lot but it'll be great to always have in my pocket for quick matches.

Really hoping the FTL team looks at their game and is able to find a way to represent all the in-game data in a logical, elegant way. It's my single biggest wish as far as game ports to the 6+ go.

I'd be happy to buy it again if they did a 6+ edition. Anyone else think the game is worth paying for a second time to be able to play on your phone? Would you expect it to be a free update?

I would pay $10 again in a heartbeat if they made a separate iPhone version.

I registered just to reqeust iPhone 6 plus support! I hope the email above is not true. I already own FTL for PC and iPad and I think the developers owe it to iOS customers to support the 6+! I'm not buying the screen size exscuse, I can play xcom on the 6+, I know FTL will work no problem.

Not releasing an updated version for the 6 plus is also a huge lost market, I can't see these guys passing up that big of a customer base!
