Any updates on windows phone release?

[Guitarpik]

I remember seeing somewhere that TPA would be coming to Windows Phone 8.

I plan on buying a wp8 device soon and was wondering if you have any information when it could be coming out.

Thanks

Wow, nothing?

Are you guys even working on it or still plan to in the future?

They have enough eggs in enough baskets at the moment.

Have they ever announced Windows phone support? I don't recall reading anything about it, but I could have glossed over it since I don't have a Windows phone.

Hardly anybody has a Windows Phone. Further dividing their already-clearly-stretched-too-thin resources to support a platform this niche would be downright reckless.

Have Windows Phone 7 now... will be upgrading to 8 soon and would buy TPA as soon as it's released.

Agree that Farsight has enough formats to worry about at the moment with the new Nintendo probably next month, fine-tuning the PC version, updating the other 5 or 6 formats and handling the kickstarter backers. My head gets swollen just by thinking of the work they have in front them. Just don't get 2 frustrated Farsight and throw any one of those beauties into Big Bear Lake in frustration. There, there, it will all work out.

I think FarSight once mentioned looking into Windows Phone 8, but there's a vast chasm between looking into something and committing to its release. I'm not sure FarSight really needs or wants to deal with another Microsoft-controlled platform at the moment, either. The first one has inflicted plenty of pain already.

Bummer. Guess I'll have to stick with the iPad version.

Just ordered the HTC 8X, should have it next week. TPA would be awesome on this!

FarSight, hire more employees!

Hmmm... according to this page, Windows Phone 8 release planned for 2012...

They said that they've finished the pc version and just need a way to distribute it. I wonder if its easy to port from pc to windows 8 phone?

Porting to the Window 8 Surface with Intel processors is extremely easy (it runs the PC version). The phone and other tablets using ARM chips would need a recompile and probably some code work.

While on the subject of Windows Mike, out of interest does PA run under Windows XP? I am just hoping it can run on my virtual cab which is an XP setup.

I think he mentioned somewhere it runs on Windows XP/Vista/7.
