Companion apps for mobile devices ( Android and iOS)

[Lion.Kanzen]

 

Introduction 

 

Game designers and publishers are increasingly making use of game companion and second-screen apps to provide added features, remote engagement and entirely new ways to play in many big budget titles on console and gaming desktops.

In RTS it is used to calculate the best units and strategies.

The following image will help you get an idea of the potential.

It can be used to show players what counter level each unit has based on how effective it is against it.

Swordmen vs archery range units in AoE II.

 

This is one of several utilities offered by this class of apps.

There could be in-game elements.

Or wiki info from Trac of wildfire game.

Or simple calculators, like damage calculator. That could help in mathematical balance discussions.

I’ve also found that using the best free tv remote app TVRem is a great way to manage my display settings and switch inputs quickly while I have these companion apps running on my mobile devices.

I have been trying to integrate a similar companion setup for my StarCraft and Call of Duty sessions, but I am running into major latency issues when the app tries to pull real time data from the game API. 

Have you found a way to minimize the sync lag between the desktop and the mobile app without triggering anticheat flags? Thanks.
