Zeebo Console Port?

by Chris Jorgensen · in General Discussion · 01/12/2009 (2:46 pm) · 2 replies

Let me preface this post by saying that I applaud GarageGames' work thus far in bringing the Torgue engine to so many platforms. I never would have guessed when I bought T2D EA that the engine would be advanced to run on the 360, Wii, and iPhone in its various incarnations. With that said... any buzz on porting to the Zeebo?

I've personally been interested in the low-cost / emerging markets for games out there. From what I've read, the Zeebo hardware is in the ballpark of an iPhone. I'm personally a big fan of the "next billion" concept and feel it could be a great direction for indies to pursue. BUT, at the same time, I'd hate to change gears away from TGB now that I've started to get in a good developer's groove with it! :)

Haven't seen anything...but I have to say that I *HATE* their non-intuitive menu system on their site. It may get a B+ for "somewhat visually interesting fluff" but it gets an F- in usability.

Agreed that their site needs a little work. Here's a bit more info on the console, for those that are interested:

I emailed them a request for a developer account. No word back yet. But I'm very interested.
