Chris Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Strangely the game seems to be very buggy. At least I already ran into a couple of bugs after playing it for five minutes in my iPhone 4. I wasn't able to drag the map around anymore, could not collect resources and captions of the items in the building list were shifted to the right and cut off. Same with buttons in the quests panel. It also looked strange that there was no loading bar at all - the game jumped right in and pulled all assets right after that, causing the game to look very weird for at least a minute when all assets have been loaded. Very bad job when you take into consideration that wooga is a big company and they claim Pocket-Island to be "One of the world’s most advanced mobile HTML5 games."... What do you guys think about it?

Ezelia Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I tested that game when they released it as open source and claimed that HTML5 is not ready for gaming ...after a look at the code structure, the game quality and the bugs you mentioned my thoughts was : actually HTML5 is ready for gaming, but wooga is not ready to make HTML5 games ...

Chris Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I have not yet looked at their code itself, just did a test play. I will take a look at the sources this evening. Edit:Okay, have looked at it. What a mess... Also, nearly zero comments in the whole codebase. -.-I hope I will never have to work with those guys on a project. What a nightmare.

Quetzacotl Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes, code is a mess really. No structure. No design patterns. No comments. At least they did some unittests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
