Some devs finding better support from Apple over Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft
“Support has been excellent – more than you might expect from other companies that work in the games sector. Everything they tell us is very useful.” – James Brooksby, head of Kuju’s Doublesix studio
“Apple has been fantastic to work with. We have worked with other manufacturers that that won’t tell you anything.We’ve found that they don’t just like games but also toys and entertainment software – especially as a means to differentiate the product from others. The message I get is that they are quite happy to push for the little small developer as long as the little small developer is pushing out the quality games.” – Mark Ettle, Cobra Mobile’s CEO
I can’t speak for Nintendo, but I assume the situation with the iPhone is much different than it is for the Wii and DS. We’ve heard from developers that Nintendo’s support has been fantastic – notably High Voltage Software and the devs of World of Goo. So I suppose Nintendo isn’t exactly terrible when it comes to supporting other companies/developers.
