    If it were a Nintendo DS, which you could buy used for 50 euros or something and which is the platform for boatloads of games now and in the future, maybe I would indeed specifically buy one just to play ADOM (I more or less bought one specifically to play Pokémon, back in the day, though I also took into consideration that I would be playing more, other DS games).

    The problem with the iPad is that, right now, it's just too hilariously expensive to get for a game that you can essentially play on just about any stationary platform (thanks in part to your own work ), if you aren't otherwise attracted to it. Just by the monetary decisions involved, it's much, much easier to convince an iPad owner to try out iADOM than to convince an ADOM player to buy an iPad. It takes a very special (namely, rich) kind of crazy to make such a purchase solely to be able to play ADOM on a couch or on the bus. We didn't all take Wealthy - Very Wealthy - Filthy Rich - Boon to the Family when we entered the Drakalor Chain (though quite a bunch of us did take Miser).

    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Well, I won't be buying any iStuff anytime soon (or ever, probably), but if I were... hmmm, I probably wouldn't touch ADOM without ADOM Sage after years of enjoying that and from what I know about doing stuff for iProducts I guess it would be a real hassle to get ADOM Sage for iADOM. So I'd stick to standard ways of enjoying ADOM if that wouldn't work out.

    Though I suspect that after years of playing ADOM with the standard keyboard interface, a new interface for iADOM would be undigestable anyway.

    Really, I think that iADOM is not gonna succeed on the base of its current fanbase, but you've got a shot at a new market and I think it's a good shot - Silfir's analysis on the effect of Dwarf Fortress' influence in the gaming world is accurate IMO.

    i probably won't buy it, but if TB can make some money off it i'm all for it. that way he can focus less on working at a job and more on JADE. he should sell some t shirts or artwork or signed posters or stuff. maybe sign autographs at malls

    If I saw someone wearing a rl shirt, I'd beat them up, even if it were ADOM.

    If TB made a t-shirt with the "high king" comic i made on it, I would buy it.
    I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut

    Question

    hmmm.

    I'm in a bit of a philosophical self-argument. I don't know how i'm supposed to fit in this poll...

    I'm not a fan of apple because of my opinion of its corporate policies and mannerisms so i will never own an apple product of any kind.

    However, i'm anxiously hoping for a speedy iADOM release only for the bugfixes to ADOM that may come with it.

    So yes, I am extremely interested in iADOM, but will never actually USE nor download iADOM.

    Having said that, if I answer yes to this poll i'm falsely increasing predictions in iADOM popularity; but if I answer no and the project doesn't get enough popularity to warrant taking work away from JADE/some other project so ADOM doesn't get its bugfixes would make me really bummed out.

    What do i do??

    I think it's waste of TB's precious time and oppose it.

    Just stick to JADE and do those small bugfixes to ADOM and release 1.1.2.

    porting to iApple would only waste Jochen's time and not TB's if i understand the TB/JT dynamic correctly...

    :-) I never considered that and thanks due to Steve Jobs rather permissible stance on programming languages for iPad/iPhone there is no risk of that ever happening. JADE is written in Java and Java is not available on iAnything, so there you go ;-)

    Android is a different matter though. But never mobile-only.
