    yeah iphone now 80% all on one operating system(ios7) and there are only 2 screen sizes.. 3.5 inch and 4 inch so pretty easy to develop and great return on investment.. If ByM Unleashed or War Commander: Rogue Assault gets popular on ios, then they will most likely start to develop for android.. And now that windows phone is starting to become a viable 3rd platform... if WC:RA got really popular on android and ios then it would probably be ported over to windows phone..

    I can confirm that we are working on a mobile sequel to War Commander called War Commander:Rogue Assault. It will have some of the buildings and units you are familiar with along with some new additions.

    WC:RA is been developed 100% in-house at KIXEYE HQ (where WC is developed) by a separate team to the one working on WC. The development of this sequel has in no way impacted the progress on WC which we continue to develop and support and hope to do so for many years to come. 

    When we get closer to the launch or WC:RA we will be sure to share photos and videos of the game, but I have nothing I can show you at this point.

    It is very disappointing to hear that you are going to make a mobile version for WC and still will continue to support the online game, knowing that you did not do this with BYM, where online game is simply abandoned, and was the most successful of kixeye, I think I'll never understand it.


    .... Sorry, I simply loved Backyard Monsters!

    With the limited screen aspect ratios and hardware variations we are doing all of our testing on iOS right now as it's quicker. However, we are developing WC:RA in such a way that we can launch it on Android with the minimum amount of extra effort on our part. We have not yet decided which OS we will launch on first but I suspect it may be iOS for the above reasons. We will ultimately be bringing WC:RA to both Android and iOS as quickly as possible. We will keep an eye on Windows to see how it develops. KIXEYE is not tied to any one platform, we just happened to launch a bunch of games on Facebook but we have plans to launch mobile, downloads and maybe even console games in the future. It's about picking the right platform for the game.


    As for an update; over the holidays we had our first company-wide play test, a sort of "Alpha test" if you will. We are, or course, working hard to bring WC:RA to you as quickly as possible. At the same time we want to make sure that the game we launch is something that will completely DESTROY the competition, blow peoples minds by showing them what tablets are capable of doing, and re-define the MMORTS genre which we pioneered with BYM, BP and WC.


    A lot of BYM clones popped up on mobile in 2013 and we want to take our crown back with the launch of WC:RA, which is why we will launch it when it is ready, and not before. Sorry that answer doesn't give you a date but we don't want to ship when it is feature complete, we want to ship when it is an amazing experience, and it's hard to quantify that. As with everything, we will know it when we play it, and based on the Alpha we are playing now it's going to be amazing!

    thanks for posting Dave, hopefully that answers a lot of questions people have had.

    Just a little extra on iOS before Android, remember when developing for iOS you get to develop for on a few devices, and don't have to submit that many versions of the OS either. On Android there are a huge number of different devices, with a wider variation on the OS versions. So testing and getting it working becomes much much tougher.

    Is it going to be anything like the "amazing" expirience BYM:U was supposed to be? If so I dont really know if I will play WC:RA..

    I was hyped about BYM:U but I think it might be just a flop.. All my friends stopped playing after 2 weeks and I quit too... :( ... It just wasnt the KIXEYE expirience

    1. We will continue to improve BYM:U until it is

    2. I didn't work on that game as I have been 100% on WC:RA ;)

    3. WC:RA brings a lot of new things to the table, it will be the best MMORTS you've played, regardless of platform.

    Though I am looking forward to the release of this new game I miss my old game war commander. I invested 2 years hundreds of dollars and it seems that war commander is no more. I can't play the game units don't respond or just suicide to their death and my air has a mind of its own. Can you fix what was working I'm war commander before you try and bring out a new game.

    At least this game sounds harder to cheat/hack than the FB war commander. Can't wait to play it on Android, even though my tablet is rather crappy. Hopefully the difficulty isn't nearly as bad as regular War Commander either.

    Any chance of a public beta test at some point? Could be a great way to get pre-release feedback from your customers. ( Android 4.0 here)

    Don't bet on it. Backyard Monsters: Unleashed (Kixeye's first mobile game) had plenty of cheating right after it went live.

    well for backyard monsters: unleashed the app just says "monsters" for the app name on the springboard so they will probably do something similar
