Bloodshedder Posted May 2, 2006 John Carmack has updated his blog with some vaguely Doom-related material which includes some remarks about sales and development of the Doom RPG, that one cell phone game that's kind of like Doom, remember? He also talks about the release of their next aptly-titled cell phone game, Orcs & Elves. 0 Share this post Link to post

sargebaldy Posted May 3, 2006 One of the interesting things about mobile games is that the sales curve is not at all like the drastically front loaded curve of a PC or console game.That's only true when your game sucks ass. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jehar Posted May 3, 2006 This project was doubly nostalgic for me... Heh, words not often associated with Carmack, but all cool. I respect this man highly simply for doing whatever it is he wants to do. So he caught some flak for some recent releases (of which he is taking less involvement, granted), but in every aspect he enjoys himself... something to aspire to, no? Anyways, O&E seems like just the kind of generic fantasy needed on that platform... 0 Share this post Link to post

Kinsie Posted May 5, 2006 There's now Screenshots of Orcs and Elves over at IGN. http://img273.imageshack.us/img273/2497/orcselves200605020317572119ae.jpg Looks a good deal like an enhanced medieval Doom RPG, with higher res graphics. 0 Share this post Link to post
