I’ve been kicking around a couple of ideas and one of the interesting ones is to port Alien Flux to a J2ME footprint.
I say “port” but the reality is of course that it hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of fitting on a phone.
However, the basic game could be pretty easily written for J2ME without the fancy 3D. We’ve got all the art already of course - we just need to shrink it down and cut the framerate. There’s a few other concessions too like cutting out most of the sounds and indeed most of the game - I think that the Alien Flux Demo would fit nicely into a phone. Controls would have to be changed a bit - probably to a standard up/down/left/right shoot-where-you’re-pointing sort of thing.
So: we’re thinking - can we offer the J2ME port to anyone? No timewasters! This will be a proper contract with NDAs and legal obligations to deliver on time, because there’s money involved.
We anticipate the port taking no longer than 3 months. We will be offering an extraordinarily high royalty rate rather than up-front money. Just think: you could sell hundreds of thousands.
Serious enquiries to mail please.
