Posts from Mobile app for the community. Ideas.

Hello everyone.

The community is growing, and thanks to it, a large number of features have already been implemented, such as the HD mode, damage calculators, Hota, rating, HW forum, and more. I would also like to contribute and implement a "potentially useful and interesting" mobile application (Android and iOS?).

1) Would a mobile version of "Fizmig" be useful?
2) Would information about castles/units, etc., be useful?
3) Would a Hota rating in the app be useful?
4) Would interactive features be useful (e.g., choosing the best streamer of the week, various polls, etc.)?
5) Would a list of streams featuring the game be useful?
6) Would a list of tournaments for the game be useful?
7) Would information about players, etc., be useful?
8) ...?

In this regard, I would like to ask you: what functionality would you like to see in the application? Maybe you have some ideas. The application will be free and available to anyone who wants it.

P.S.
On my side, I can do a little bit of back-end development in Python, in addition to mobile development, so I will be developing both the server and the client at the same time.

And how can I change the title?

Suggest a title for the thread, and one of the moderators will edit the title.

I think this is a very interesting and useful topic, especially for attracting new players.

Moderators, please rename the topic as follows: "Ideas for a mobile application for the community."

I mostly use the guard calculator, and then probably the library website (physics department). If all of this were in an app, it would be great. Regarding the lobby rating and other things, I don't think the rating itself deserves to be displayed yet. We need statistics on templates, heroes, castles, and other things; then it would be interesting to study the rating. As it is, it's just numbers to look at.

I think that collecting such data would require either the player to enter this data after the game through the app, or integration with Hota and their service.

Obviously, the most interesting thing is the interactivity, as well as possible support for the Polish language.

)) yeah, and add built-in videos. How do you take a Harpy Factory? How do you capture Crypts with Shaktis on dirt terrain? With Luna? etc.

They just need to be gathered together as a group.

I thought there would be Heroes 3 HD for phones and tablets. I read about it and felt disappointed.

I don't know how to do game development, and I don't think there's much profit in it anyway.

all sorts of calculators, physical exercises, in my opinion, would be more convenient in a mobile format, but I'm not sure at all that a rating and other interactive features would be relevant.

Should we keep SOD and Hota separate, or should we focus solely on Hota in the current situation?

Good evening. I have a small suggestion regarding your mobile app development. It would be great to create thematic sections. For example, a News section where all the news about the Heroes of Might and Magic series would appear (e.g., tournament announcements). A section (I don't know what to call it) that would include items such as hero tutorials, currently streaming hero channels, and all channels related to heroes. A player ranking section; in my opinion, there should be two separate rankings (HotA and SoD), as HotA is obviously being developed more actively than SoD, but there are players who prefer this version of the game. A links section that would provide access to download heroes, the Heroes Portal, and an ICQ chat for communication (I would like to see a link to the project's Discord, as I am interested in gradually migrating players from ICQ to Discord, as Discord has many interesting features and, in my opinion, is more comfortable and allows for better server customization). A suggestions section where everyone can contribute their ideas for the app's development. I believe it would be worth launching the app on a paid hosting service without any third-party ads. I hope you will read my suggestions. I wish you good luck in your noble endeavor!

The administrators of the "FizMiG - Physics of the World of Heroes of Might and Magic III" group have allowed the use of data from the reference guide, provided that the authors are credited. :smile23:

We also haven't had a proper ladder for a long time. HW is outdated, and even the old, clunky tables load slowly...

It would be nice, for example, to have easy access to player statistics: graphs of game frequency and rating over time ("all time," "year," and "last month"), game statistics by faction and map (favorites, highest win percentage), and perhaps some role-playing elements - titles and ranks, the name of your sworn enemy (who you lost to the most), and your best friend (who you played with the most).

Should SOD or Hota be separated, or should we focus only on Hota in the current reality?

You could sell a paid version to SOD players.)
