During the Gamescom, we had the opportunity to sit and talk with Dennis Heinert, head of PR at InnoGames, who gave us an overview of what's coming their games in the future, in particular for Grepolis and Forge of Empires.

 

The most important thing we talk with him is about the great effort they are doing to bring these games to mobile platforms as well. Dennis showed us how the games runs perfectly perfectly on a laptop, a Tablet and a Smartphone, and how you can play and manage your account everywhere.

The game chosen for this presentation was Grepolis, starting it with the laptop, not without problems we have to say, because he wasn't able to connect to the game world, with the advanced city advanced city that he wanted us to show, so it ended up showing us a little less advanced account. Even after that, we had some loading problems because of the Gamescom’s bad internet connection.

However, once he managed to actually load the city in the browser, he builded a mine, and quickly changed to the Tablet, logging in with the same account and showing us how the mine was under construction on the tablet as well. We have to say that the Tablet version was very fast and smooth, running much better and faster than the PC version even with the Gamescom’s horrible connection.

Even moving around the map, zooming or moving the camera the game responds extremely well, without signs of any kind of lag. Heinert told us that they are working to improve the mobile versions in order to have a perfectly optimized game experience that will follow you wherever you are.

He also told us that Innogames has two more secret games in development, and they only told us that one of them will be an strategic and management game and the other one a more “action” title.
