The iPhone gets in the game
If there’s one area of software that will likely benefit most from the iPhone SDK, it’s probably gaming. To the surprise of many, myself included, Apple decided not to include even a single game on the iPhone or iPod touch (even the very first iPod had a hidden version of Breakout).
So, of course, game developers are pretty psyched about bringing titles to the iPhone and iPod touch, both because of their wide popularity and because of all the unique features available on the platforms, such as the multi-touch interface and accelerometer.
But to find out what’s really in store, Macworld Senior Editor and resident gamemeister Peter Cohen sat down with Michel Guillemot, President and CEO of mobile game developer Gameloft. Gameloft was one of the first companies to start producing games for the iPod and they’re continuing that tradition with the iPhone—they plan to have 15 titles out by the end of this year alone.
For more insight on the future of games on the platform, check out the full interview at the link above.
