We are making a brand new engine and once that's out we will be redoing the interface and making it better and more customisable etc.

In the short term, the dilemma we have for iPhone 5, is that Apple don't allow us to support iPhone 5 without removing support for iPhone 3G and iPod 2G.

What do you think would be better, to support the iPhone 5 resolution or to keep the iPhone 3G and iPod 2G support?

Hey admin,
First off i'd like to say that I am a long term player, that has been using this game for over a year. The device I currently use is the iPod 2G and I know many great players that use this or the iPhone 3G.

The dilemma here is if this game should support a small percent of players that want "better graphics" or completely cut off a whole player base simply to make the game *prettier*

Well admin, the choice is yours. Will you choose to make nicer looking graphics at the cost of completely denying long term players the option to play. Or will you think about what's better for the community, the players and most importantly the company by continuing to support your current player bases devices.

The plan for the forthcoming update is to continue to support the older devices.

But there will inevitably come a point in future where we (and all other app developers) will be forced by Apple to drop the support for these. This isn't really about making the game prettier, but more about what Apple allows us to do.

'Tis the way of technology and business... Businesses make new products and discontinue support for old ones, so that you'll be forced to buy the new products.

Are you able to tell what kind of device each player uses from your system side? If not, maybe a poll would be nice to get an idea of how an upgrade like this would affect the user-base.

Please, just give everyone plenty of advance notice when you know you're ready to move to supporting the next evolution of devices, so we can all be prepared. Thanks for looking out for your customers, OTM. :)

iPhone 3GS be effected As well? (Probably).

This was bound to happen, it's inevitable. Was going to happen sooner or later down the track and quite frankly (Dont want to sound like the bad guy) but I would prefer sooner, rather than later. As long as there is like a few months/month notice before this happens! So we are prepared, and won't go rage on the forum... (Which will happen either way)

So hey Richard, looks like our screens been increased a little ;D any chance for some new buttons to go along with the new screen?
It's nice that the iPhone 5 has a better screen, but it would provide the users of an iPhone5 with an unfair advantage over non-5 users, if they will have access to more functions of the main screen. I would just love to be able to have a better view. Well the phone isn’t released locally yet...so still have to wait :roll:

That sucks. I've played CH on an 2G for more than a year. But I guess in the long run it's better to support the iPhone 5 than continue supporting the 3G and 2G.
