Anybody knows a NL - DUTCH iPhone forum ?

rdklein

Does anybody knows a forum for iPhone in NL,
I cannot believe that we ony got 2 customers from NL for the POC iPhone version !
Maybe someone can write a review ? Its hard to find our product within 26000 other programs on the App Store. But magazines are also very rare.

i'll write an review on the biggest iphone forum in dutch.
iphoneclub.nl

I really love poc, and i have it on my laptop, and my iphone.
I'm platinum, and would do everything to get my friends interrested in poc.

More poccers means more priority for you to develop.

Send a whole bunch of screenshots to me please...

info(a)dennisvonk.com

I will provide you with a link to the article when finished.

[offtopic]Please do something about the horrible dutch language images in xxl. The are terrible.

The elevator button is crap, the load, refuel, lay up, charter buttons also.

And can you make the playfield bigger, its like looking on my watch when playing xxl in fullscreenmode, 1440x900!!

[/offtopic]

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Suggestions:
Make a trial app for the iphone, and allow users to play for 30 mins. and after that no playing is possible!
Make a good and clear "usermanual" for the iphoneversion.

AND YES, ENLARGE THE GAMEPLAY

Give a (5% or 10%) discount when iPoc players, buy a platinum license for windows platform. That will make both versions more interessting.

EDIT: So i'm one of only 2 dutch iPortsofcall players? Who is the otherone?

Thanks , I will send some screen shorts tomorrow morning,

we thought about a trial version, that might help indeed and also translation of the manual (more difficult).

Also gameplay enlargement is important, but this will slow down the responiness also (the cpu is at 100% already)-- so we will optimize this part

On the images fo the dutch language I will make a review we got them some time ago, I think they are copies of copies.

I dont know the other one, i can only see the counts.

the screenshots are on the way
thanks a lot.

@Dennisv
did you have a chance to write a review ?
A lite version will come out soon (its already in the App Store review) with a 30 min limit and also has a highscore.
An update (1.2) also will come (also in the rewview pipeline). With highscore and for both the berthing is now corrected to +-10 degree are accepted (also in reverse direction).

The Poc iPhone Highscore can be viewed at:

currently only teh last test entries are there. It fits directly for an IPhone display.

I just read Dennis' review on iphoned.nl
Great review.

Only thing that keeps me from immediately going back to this old DOS age addiction is the lack of multiplayer, mmo-style.

I'm game on PoC now..

rdklein · Posted: Sat May 02, 2009 9:35 pm Post subject:

when you have the pocxxl license installed start pocxxl, go to the main mnue there click on license, and you can see a code to be entered in the forum profile.

sorry we had thought on this, I will thing about a special star system for iPhon users with an update (we might be able to use the highscore system for this purpose).

jrkalf · Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 1:33 pm Post subject:

Doesn't really matter how many stars I have at my name...
I do have a question for the iphone version...

One thing I find irritable, perhaps due to my impatience, is when I get those canal fee's and alarms, the text takes ages to get typed out (read a 2s delay). Is there any option, or future update option in which the text is just instantly displayed?

Having only 5 ships out there already frequenting the canal fee's I'm getting a bit impatient... Or I'd just like an account with them canal dudes so they deduct all the fee's once a month ;-D

hmm yes, I think about a soltion, maybe clicking on the text can speed it up - what do you think.
