A possible Android version?

[art of war]

I think this game has the potential to be a top android game?

If you think that then you've taken one look at the graphics and thought, that looks simple enough.

The thing is, this game uses a lot of processing for the AI and can barely run large maps on top of the line desktops... and you think it'll run on a phone or tablet?

[Pvt.Pancake]

Unlikely due to the huge amount of data need to be processed.

Ahhh that's true... But it'll be awesome if it could be made a play-on-the-go game

[Rusel]

Its rather complicated and would be a bit dificult to play on a smaller screen. Also the processing power needed to run it. Also that it would be a few years untill they could think about porting it to anything

Perhaps on a tablet, that would be cool like FTL however the game is still in Alpha

Tablet still wouldn't be able to handle it, unless they limit your prison size and remove tons of the features; saves wouldn't be compatible then. Developing for mobile (especially android) is not as simple as you think either and the market isn't reliable.

Beyond all that, I don't know why anyone would want it mobile, because they would have to either charge you a nett price (which the general public would not pay for on tablet) or make it freemium (which fans would hate them for).

What ever you are smoking you need to share with the rest of us. Any tablet that has been released with in the last year could easily handle this game. Right, who would ever want to do mobile gaming and ZOMG actually pay for a game. LOL. After reading this thread it would appear none of you have done much gaming on tablet. Overkill, is the only one who seems to know what they are talking about.

My gaming desktop which I upgraded this year can barely handle 1200+ prisoners and staff.

I think you either seriously underestimate this game's requirement for cpu, or you grossly overestimate the capabilities of tablets.

I agree, you have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

Just curious though, what tablet do you use and how much do you spend (on average or total) on mobile games?

Calm down guys, things are getting really heated in this friendly discussion... I just asked a rather random questions but you guys are taking this entire affair like it's the debate of the century haha...

Domina, I don't keep track of my expenses on gaming (which probably explains why I don't seem to be getting richer) and it entirely depends on what I think of the game. Say, if they were able to make an entire Android port for this game, I would gladly pay full price for it, no less..

And I have a generic Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (non-rooted) for gaming. Hope this answers your queries, and lastly, calm down guys, no need to get all worked up here :)

The question was directed at Kraven.

Oh i see :P

I don't think Prison Architect is suited for mobile, especially in this alpha state.

It could happen years down the line when phones become better. A more realistic idea would be urge steam's in home streaming to support android. =)
