[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;42219259]I don't see why these would take any longer then the iOS version, they just look like simple HTML pages. ( And if they're not, why the fuck not, save yourself a lot of effort if you do R* )[/QUOTE] Because ios is more UI friendly and more people use it.
Damn.... feels like forever since I got a paper booklet telling me what the game was about, controls, etc. Even if it's electronic, 100 pages sounds like there is going to be a lot to cover.

Your top priority is releasing your software on the most locked-down platforms first, and then you wait 8 months and release it on the more open platforms. So I'm expecting it to come to Android about the same time the game comes to PC. :v:

[QUOTE=ChloeBlackSythe;42221249]Because ios is more UI friendly and more people use it.[/QUOTE] I don't know about the ease of making a UI on these two platforms but I know that there are more android users than iOS users Not like OS and device fragmentation would affect your ability to make an app to display webpages either
I don't see any reason why the manuals shouldn't be released on all platforms on the same day. It's not particularly fair.
