This port is just a tablet port for now. Once we get the tablet port out we can try to get it down onto phones, but they may be to small for it to be feasible. The app is planned to be free though.

When is the app going to be released???

[indiemoo]

How will the chat system work on mobile? Will we have the same flexibility in regards to chatting with the town, or will it be limited?

[shapesifter13]

What do you mean Indie? You will use the keyboard like you would for any game where there was typing involved.

[Segaco]

I think he means the keyboard that appears when you write text and stuff

[Sadorkable]

Just one question - will it work only on tablets or will there be a version for smartphones as well?

What kind of criteria will we have to meet to be invited to the trial of the mobile beta?

[AprilLuvsDucks]

This will be announced when the Beta is announced.

Phones might not happen because it is so much information to try to squeeze into a phone, the mobile version we are working on currently is tablet only.

When I play on puffin, I have all the information I need on my phone. Also, I have seen more complex games than this fit on my phone. Are you sure TOS can't make a port onto phones?

Consider the amount of info to fit on the screen.
Role card
Chat
Graveyard
Rolelist
Action/Vote box
The rolelist and votebox take up 15 lines each, a phone might be able to display that many lines if they use small font, which is hard to read. Then there's the chat...actually, the chat alone would probably take up too much space when you consider you have to have an onscreen keyboard.

For a phone?

[Megalomancer]

So uh, Mobile Bug Reports, what's with that?

It's a surprise. 'Reserved' means awaiting Blake to have more time to explain everything.

How long until browser and steam versions are recoded?

There's not any plans to re-code them currently. Only reason mobile was re-written is because of too many setbacks.
It was also difficult for them to do it, as they had to learn a whole new language, as Flash is their forte, hence why Steam and Browser are flash-based.
