The next Armada will be an on-line game. We also know that WindowCE has been quite a hurdle for your team. As with any new technology, all the WinCE people had to deal with new tools and unforeseen challenges. Microsoft has been super-supportive and pumped out a couple revisions that get better every time. Based on screenshots and early looks, a lot of gamers have likened Armada to a space shooter from gaming's past, Asteroids , however, this isn't exactly the best comparison.
Armada is a shooter with many unique missions and long-term character growth.
You can take your character to other game worlds, and play with up to 4 people. Two elements in particular that we found interesting were the RPG aspects and the multi-player mode. Lets just say it is much different. The on-line game world was much larger and changeable, due to the fact that we were going to store dynamic world data on a server. The game's strong story line has certainly played a large part in shaping the direction and uniqueness of the game.
