Writing a IOS client for DM

[Kaitlin]

I am curious if an IOS client is in the works for the DM client. For example running the game on a computer, but logging in with your IOS device. I am thinking about it from a DM’s Perspective as I have had an ultimate license since before the unity version. And I want to use some of the tools for my tabletop game. As an IOS developer I can create something for myself but I was curious if it might be in the works for the main client. If you are ok with it, I can work on this and do a collaboration on the IOS store. You wouldn’t be able to use it without a FG license, or an unlimited License as a player, and obviously no sales content as it is just a Client service, not the actual program.

Thanks

To run a game or to read content?

SmiteWorks has said they have a content reader for phones and tablet in their pipeline. No ETA.

As for running a game from a phone, that sounds... challenging. What would you think the GUI layout would be? People complain already about running on a 15" laptop, can't imagine any user satisfaction running on a phone screen.

But, I will say you should probably reach out to SmiteWork directly as it's probably not something they would want to discuss on the public forums. Probably via the Help > Contact Support link.

It is for an in-person game. The idea is NOT to use it or internet based games. This means the Player client can only see their character sheet, maybe chat and dice. DM will mostly be a combat tracker linked to their server licence.
